History YMMV / FateStayNightHeavensFeel

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: It's made by ufotable, after all. All the fight scenes look amazing. Of particular note is the Lancer vs [[spoiler:True Assassin]] fight.

* BrokenBase: The intro to the first movie is a lengthy backstory to the relationship of Shirou and Sakura, namely how they met, and why Sakura developed feelings for Shirou. On one hand some viewers loved the AdaptationExpansion of their relationship, as well as argue it was necessary since unlike Saber and Rin, Shirou already had a bond with Sakura before the start of the story, so having the audience see them getting together would feel jarring without context. (And speaking of context, it also provides a bit of context for the relationship between Shirou and ''Shinji'', making it a bit clearer how they were once genuine friends who drifted apart as Shinji grew bitter over his circumstances and over Shirou's skills; many people appreciate this.) The other side of viewers dislikes it, mainly because it takes up a good chunk of the movie and comes across as {{Padding}}, while also being, for some, unnecessary to tell since most people seeing the movie will have no problem figuring out that Sakura and Shirou have a connection and already existing bond. The one thing both sides seem to agree with though, is that the sequence is just a bit too long for the length of the film.

* {{Narm}}: The first time Shirou has a flashback to the Fuyuki city fire works to establish his thoughts and feelings, but every time it's repeated after, it reduces the impact for viewers and comes across as kind of annoying.
* ShipToShipCombat: Just like ''Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks'', it's inevitable given the original visual novel with several possible love interests.

* MemeticMutation: Lancer's particular way of running while chasing True Assassin has caught on the fans and [[Creator/JojiNakata staff members]] [[https://twitter.com/joujinakata123/status/977403312503848960 alike]] to the point [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Delightworks]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4O9SkKMVPM made web-browser game out of it.]] [[http://app.aniplex.co.jp/fatehf/ Play it here.]]

** Not to mention Rider, who gets paired with either Shirou, Sakura, or [[OneTrueThreesome Shirou and Sakura]].

** It's [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Shirou/Sakura's]] time to shine as the OfficialCouple of this adaptation, and while it's certainly popular, there are viewers (particularly from the ''UBW'' anime) who think Shirou has more chemistry with [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] or [[LadyOfWar Saber]]. [[spoiler:Not to mention those who think [[FaceHeelTurn Saber Alter]] [[VillainousCrush would be a good pairing with Shirou]]]].

* SceneryPorn: The backgrounds of the film look so detailed and full of color. Most noticeably, the overview of Fuyuki looks beautiful that you can look at it for hours.

* MoodWhiplash: The hilarious "Mapo tofu" scene from the game is preserved in all its wacky glory, with Kotomine delivering shocking plot revelations while eating Chinese food so hot it causes steam to escape when he opens his collar. Because of the movie's condensed pace, it's even weirder than it was in the game.
