I put off watching this until a rainy day and with LA's sudden rain it was the perfect fit. Like any anime film based on a hit series it has nothing to do with continuity for the show. The story can be fun for anyone to pick up. Bad guys from Hell steal Ichigo's little sisters. Ichigo has to go to Hell to get them back. You have some powerful fights and some throw away bad guys and you're done. Ichigo does gets new powers "from Hell" for some fun.
After seeing all the other Bleach movies I have to say this has the best pacing. The three others suffer from slowing down or trying to shove too many soul reapers in each film.
If your craving some violent bloody action, look no further.
