Its plots isn't up to my expectation but that doesn't matter much to me. The development of the characters from the anime and manga series makes this movie very well worth to watch. Lots of reminiscent from the good old friendship time of Gon, Kirua, Kurapica and Leorio. A must watch for HxH fans! The only unfulfilling part of this movie for me is there are not enough fighting scene but I never get enough of nen-fighting excitement anyway =P
As usual near the end there are a lot of 'lessons of life' moments, with the very best scene of the movie being at the end, cliché but still great. Last but not least, it did remind me to always do my best in life, don't leave any regret!

Very worth the watch!
Nostalgic values
It's worth watching just for the reason to see Gon and his friends one more time even though it's couldn't reach the high Standarts the show set.
Not bad, actually
No idea of why is everyone is hating this movie, but I personally think it was actually good.
I actually enjoyed it even more than Phantom Rouge.
Sure, the plot was "predictable" and "didn't subvert our expectations" (Honestly, a somewhat silly complaint, Hunter x Hunter isn't a Shyamalan movie that needs to have a "twist" by force, the whole "deconstructive" narrative is getting tedious)
Animation wise, it was fine. I found more visually appealing than the previous movie. Sure, it does not reach the level of the 1999 series, but it was still good.)
Some plot elements kinda reminded me (in a good way) the Dragon Ball Z movie Bojack Unbound. Considering how much Dragon Ball influenced Togashi, perhaps it was intended as an homage.
The Deus ex machina resolution felt like a tribute to the "Wrath of the Dragon" Dragon Ball Z movie.
This wasn't nowhere as bad as some reviews written here suggest.
