   Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie
Wow. That's one awesome movie. I was only confused about the fact that Bakura never showed up. But, still. It was awesome. Those were some seriously intense duels. Yugi and Yami are awesome! ^_^

*NOTE* Please, if you have not seen the movie yet and don't want to be let in on some of the things that happen, do NOT read the following!

Here's what I thought of the movie:

Overall Rating: 10 - This is only my opinion, though. Why a perfect 10? Everything about it was well done!
Soundtrack Rating: 10 - The instrumentals were amazing and blew me away, and the songs with lyrics were great and went well with the scene they were paired with.
Graphics: 10 - For anime, they were great!
Storyline: 10 - And old enemy has come back from the dead to challenge Yami. What could be better?

Some things that were (Millennium) puzzling:

1. Bakura was not included. This simply baffles me, since he was in the Millennium Puzzle before everyone else was transported inside, in the first place. Maybe he got locked inside one of the rooms?
2. The actual battle between Yami and Anubis was quite short and not as dramatic as I thought. But it was still dramatic!
3. Serenity, also, was not included. Where'd she go? Probably to a friend's house... The whole thing happened over one day, anyway. Joey might have bought her a gift card to Borders or something, so she was out shopping. (Or maybe she was with Duke! Duke never showed up, either!)
4. I never saw Yami as the Pharaoh. (But that's probably for the next series!)

What I think will happen:

1. It looks like the whole thing is being set up for another movie. Possibly one that won't reach theaters, but a movie, none the less.
2. They'll all take a trip to Egypt sometime in the future, and Yami will transform back into the Pharaoh and save the world from the toughest foe ever. (Kind of like Gandalf in a way.)

There were many, many scenes, ideas, theories, and thoughts that came to me of what might have happened. Unfortunately, none of them did. I believed that everything would have been set in Egypt over a period of several days if not weeks, but it was all held in Domino City. Of course, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! But, all in all, it was one of the best movies I've ever seen, if not the best. I want to go see it again!
