Instead of making every beat equally loud, Kenji Nagasaki lets My Hero Academia: Two Heroes create contrast between pressure and release. The film delivers more often than it misses throughout My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, with the strongest decisions feeling connected to character rather than display.
