Movie vs TV... I also hated it, but nonetheless given the medium it bound to happen. Anyway, I was judging the pacing of each movie, and the way the main plot was presented through flashbacks and subplots, not the space between the movies.

I can't be entirely sure but it wouldn't surprise me if all those that consider the dialogue excessive haven't played the game or aren't type moon fans. So it's only natural really.
I agree, but that's why shows like Horizon, Naruto, and so on are popular, despite the quality of the dialogue and independent of pacing.

Uryuu is a train-wreck in the character presentation and development departments. For deRais, when he enters philosophy mode is very interesting, but his obsession with Saber/d'Arc does not work for me, reminds me of cheap H-VNs

In Rakkyou the fairytale was essential for the protagonist's development as well as gave a tone of information about the setting (only surpassed by the Soren chapter/movie). Of course both were not in the spotlight of the movie, yet when considering the work as a whole... necessary.

On the other hand, Rin's little adventure, did not offer anything to the grail war, which is the main storyline of F/Z
