I kinda hate to say it, but... I didn't like this movie.
Going into it, I was hoping it would give us something truly new. A new story, a new challenge, a new rival. Or even just following the core characters after a significant time-sklp, say.
This movie felt like a re-hash to me. An extremely flashy and well-acted re-hash, yes, but still a re-hash. The same pairs that had relationship struggles/dynamics in the original are the pairs who have them again now, in the movie. They flipped some fight outcomes for the movies, but the relationship dynamics are basically unchanged.
Frankly, this movie seems totally pointless to me. A massive missed opportunity to do something truly new and interesting with these characters, and with this franchise.
Edit: Plus... what even was the plot of this movie? People can say what they want about the Revue Starlight TV show, but as fantastical as it was, at least it had an actual plot that could be followed pretty easily.
