Hana yori Dango (Movie)

Ok So the original movie is broken up into 3 parts on YouTube -- with no subtitles, there is also a Fan Dub Version of the movie, which definitely soften my feelings of the original series -- that left me feeling disappointed and I may write a review on why, but the Fan Dub Version of this on YouTube Made me LOL so hard, that it soothe any disappointment I may have gotten from the original series.

The story line of this movie actually matched the intro, As I watched the series I wondered when the intro and story line would over lap it never ... did -- which makes me wonder why they didn't just create a new intro, I mean if your advertising dancing I assume that dance will be a big part of the series, since I watched to experience then, to review what it is I feel for a certain anime.

After finishing the anime that I felt was extremely dragged out, I was happy to see a 30 mini-movie that actually went with the intro, the fan dub was the best out of watching all of the series & the original ova video b/c it's funny, and contains a bit more substance to it. This review is for the Fan Dubbed version on YouTube.

Well let me first start of by saying that as much as a big fan I am of Hana Yori Dango, I give this movie an overall 6. Well, mainly because this movie was wayy too short and completely off track from the original plot, which by the way~ is why I loved HYD in the first place. Also, this was a condensed movie of only 30 minutes long, which is why I felt it was missing more material. It was quick paced and not as developed as I would've wanted it to be... However, if your a MAJOR fan of HYD, enjoy short length ... movies, and dancing!! then maybe you might like this movie.

I personally did not like this "movie". It may have the same characters, but it's TOO fast paced and the story line is pretty horrid. I mean, you MAY like it if you've never seen the Hana Yori Dango anime series, but if you've seen it, you'll be HIGHLY disappointed in this movie.
Yes, I know it's supposed to be set in a new time and theme, but they could have done a LOT better job on it -- the story line wasn't half as good as it could have been. They also should have spent more time on it instead of only giving it ... a pathetic half hour :/
Therefore I simply warn you: If you want to watch it, go for it, but don't expect anything and get your hopes up, except a movie that dishonors the anime.
