  Yay! I saw the Yugioh movie last night! Here is where I warn you about spoilers cuz I'm gonna review it. Be aware that this review may contain spoilers. Okay.


Well, it started out rather nicely, with the intro speech about ancient Egypt, blah blah blah. With the opening scenes, we had a narrator, who just had to repeat this one line three times, which was kind of annoying. Oh well. Nice incorporation of the actual Egyptian language throughout, I liked that.
Overall, the plot seemed very much like an action/adventure genre fanfic. There were a few points I wanted to press, especially when they brought up Anubis, acting as though he was a mortal being that had a dead body and so forth. If you want to be picky, which I love to be, either to you he is a concept or an actual god (depending on your religion, of course), so how can he be dead and possessing of a physical body that binds him to either life or death? Seeing especially as he's is the god of death, and you'd think he'd be able to do something about his being dead without all the fuss he puts up. But oh well.
Scattered into the scenes of the movie, there will be moments that would have been avoided if it was intended for a PG-13 audience. Most of them were during Seto's duel with Pegasus, but there were a few others. One of them, involving the word "dirty" made me crack up so hard, I was shaking in my seat trying not to disturb the other people. Also, a scene I hope was unintentional, when Anzu and some others are climbing up into a helicopter, and she's wearing her school uniform. Well, Sugoroku gets the honorary place beneath her on the ladder and getsa lovely view of her underwear, I'm sure.
Ah, well, you can get some neat pairing ideas from it! Heh heh... I dunno about Blue Eyes Shining Dragon though. Looks too much like Lugia to me. Oh well. The hound of Anubis was totally awesome. I want a doggy like that! Arf!
Ahem. For a brief opinion, I'd say it was good enough to see one or two times. There are bits for all audiences to laugh at, though be wanred: there will be some serious Anzu friendship speech crap. If you don't like that, I suggest waiting till it comes out on DVD, then fast-forwarding through her blabbing. Also, I'd wait a few days for the level of small children to go down, or else go to a more expensive theater. That's what I did, and it was only about a third little kids, and the rest teens, even some adults by themselves. o.o

Oh yeah, and Sorcerer of Dark Magic is super-hot. *innocent look*
