Miranda Sanchez at IGN Movies gives the film an 8 out of 10. She writes, “Heroes Rising is just one awesome explosion of action after another. It doesn’t quite nail the landing on its biggest moment and the villain is a bit boring, but that doesn’t take too much away from the excitement.”

Toussaint Egan at Paste Magazine gives the movie a 7.1 out of 10. He writes, “Heroes Rising feels like an hour-long filler episode capped by an exhilarating 20-minute spectacle that’s as impressive as it is ultimately inconsequential, and maybe that’s enough for fans of the anime.”
