Caught up on this last night myself. Frankly, it's a bit disappointing. Closer to the manga, maybe, but the whole reveal of the Four Generals was kind of wasted when it... doesn't really change anything. They find out and get brainwashed back into service, then when it's broken, they literally get vaporized by Metallia seconds later.
Between that and Usagi's brilliant plan of "Eh, I can't beat Evil Brainwashed Mamoru, so I'll slash him with the magic moon sword and then kill myself so we can fall in love in our next reincarnation", the finale was... not quite as impressive as Classic Sailor Moon's, in my opinion.
All in all, Crystal just feels rushed, what with cramming both the Dark Kingdom arc and the Black Moon Clan in 26 episodes.

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."
