My Hero Academia fans at Anime Expo were treated to the world premiere of the first series movie, Two Heroes, and as one would expect, early impressions of the film are positive.

Fans reacted positively to different aspects of the movie, but the consensus for the reactions was that it definitely worth the wait in the Los Angeles heat. Read on to see what fans are saying about the film. The synopsis for My Hero Academia: Two Heroes is as follows:
“After the end of the climatic Final Exams, the U.A. Class members head off to their school field trip for Summer break. However, before they head off to the school field trip, All Might and Deku accept an invitation from someone to go abroad to a floating and mobile manmade city, called “I Island.” All researchers in the world, from both East and West, are gathered in this place, known as the Hollywood of Science, where they research quirks as well as hero supplemental items at the special “I Expo” convention that is currently being held on the island.
This is where Deku meets the quirkless girl, Melissa. Melissa also is like him, quirkless. Deku is able to connect with Melissa by recalling when he too was quirkless. During that time, suddenly, despite an iron wall of security surrounding the island, the system is breached by a villain who hacked into it! The people living on the island are all taken hostage! Now, the Hero Association needs to act quickly to deploy their unshakeable “Plan” or elseโ! The only person who can grasp that key, is none other than the Number One Hero, All Might!”
