Fullmetal Alchemist (2018)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Okay, So I know any live action anime adaptation will usually have its fair share of issues but the way it was written makes no sense regardless if you know the story or have never seen it before. Everything seemed forced, I watched this with my brothers, one of which has never seen the anime or manga, and they tried to cram so much backstory in that they lose most of the value. We get only small glimpses into the character's lives that if you are not already aware of their backstories the characters become nearly meaningless. Not to mention they created a really forced ending which only had a very vague resemblance to the source material. It would have been far better to have split this up into multiple movies or even made an entirely new plot. The CG wasn't near as bad as I was expecting,but overall the best part of the movie was set design and costumes. The acting was definitely sub par, at times it felt like the actors were emotionless. The english dub on Netflix was bad, characters would all be in the same room and Edward's voice sounded at times like he was far away. On top of that there was a scene where Edward punched a wall and they forgot to put in the sound, It was bad enough me and my brothers broke out laughing at how bad it was.

I never got time to watch the anime. Therefore I watch the movie with full expectation, even plan to buy the TV series if I love the movie. Turn out that I choose to spend my time wisely. The worst anime I guess that not live to the hypeAlthough the title is Fullmetal Alchemist, mean the 2 brother is Alchemist expert The problem is the fun is only at the beginning of the movie during the chase of stone. From there everything goes so bad. All I can see is Al crying, screaming in frustation, getting angry but not the skillful alchemist like in the beginningMaybe 2 hour is too short to put in long TV Anime However the story is really bad.Looks like there is part 2. But I will never look back again Enough is enough

Watch the anime full metal alchemist brotherhood. There is a reason it has such a high rating. This movie was just terrible compared, It's missing everything that really makes the original good.

This movie is a visual experience of different styles.The power of this movie is definitely in its visual style and overall style of directing. The movie uses different themes throughout the movie but yet the movie manages to create one big unique identity. The movie never feels incoherent or disjointed in its style or storytelling, though it all widely differs from each other at times.
