I think you shouldn't. Seen it like a month ago, here's my intake:
Bleach 2018
7.5/10 Middle ways through, I was prepared to give it a 6/10 and say it wasn't a complete disaster like most artistic movie adaptations after anime. But were it not for the last 30 minutes or so! Now that's what movies made after anime should look more like! It seems that the japonese movie makers in conjuncture with Netflix this time have done it!
There were obvious minuses to the anime, 1st hour or so is the best example, but oddly enough the middle and the ending brought pluses over the anime, even as many as 3 of them!
Spoiler:
1. The build up Ichigo vs Renji was a little bit better, Renji seemed far too strong and fast for an ignorant Ichigo to handle, but then he got serious after realizing Rukia's predicament and also had some time to train, so there's 2 fights between them here, compared to the anime where it's just 1.
2. The 2nd fight between Ichigo and Renji was better than their fight in the anime, believe it or not!
3. The ending with Byakuya did not suck! Was decent enough, they finally made a good copy from an anime of a difficult to handle scene!
Now that's impressive!
Thank you... Netflix!
One thing that was different (some might say better
) was that after cut down with ease, Ichigo got up more times than he did in the anime, and doing so he aggravated Byakuya through his defiance, making the renown captain clench his sword and take an aggressive position, that did not happen in the anime where he just nonchalantly toyed with Ichigo. That's because when our Ichigo's got some training under his belt, he's a beast!
In the anime he did not train much yet! (The anime better part is that Renji can't see much of his captains swordplay to give notice that Byakuya's lvl is beyond crazy strong, while here we don't have that conundrum. But we get what we get, I am satisfied with what I've seen here.)
The movie covers the Shinigami Substitute Arc, 1st 18 or so episodes of the anime, as you would expect. I can say now that I can hardly wait for Bleach 2, Soul Society Arc, if it's anything like the ending of the 1st movie, it's gonna be a solid 8/10 at the very least, considering the quality upgrade in the anime story! Netflix, please do not desert them!
I was tempted to say can't wait to meet Gin, but that quickly turned into I hope they won't make Gin seem like a retard! Same with Yoruichi, Soi Fon and all of them rest Kenpachi, Kommamura, Shunsui, Tosen, etc. It's gonna be a hard production to make if they're serious about it, but the 1st movie was encouraging if nothing else! Bleach has the best characters of any just one anime, it's gonna be a colossal effort to just cosplay them all, not mentioning finding good actors for the parts! It could be a total blunder, but it also has a small chance to be epic! One can be forgiven the hope!

WOW, DUUUUUDE!
Aside from Rurouni Kenshin, I don't know of any anime adaptation that didn't bring shame to it's anime source! (Maybe except Ghost in The Shell! - it could have been better, but it did not completely suck, at least the CGI guys did a fair effort) So I heed you to tell me of all the movies that (incredible) "etc." in your sentence may uphold! I can not believe that "etc."! DUUUUDE! I wanna watch them! Do tell!
