Yu-Gi-Oh!: Hikari no Pyramid

First of all I loved the « original » YuGiOh Duel Monsters.
When I heard about it going to the big screen I was psyched. The trailer was great.
But as for the movie, although I did “enjoy” it, I was disappointed. The movie was a duel between Kaiba and Yugi, we’ve seen this a million times, and Kaiba has lost a million times,
try something new.

There is an Evil (Anubis) living inside Yugi’s item (Millennium Puzzle) and he uses this duel as a means to escaping.
Small Yugi and his friends are sucked into the item were they come across zombie mummies.
So eventually the duel is interrupted by Anubis at the end of the movie and he duels Yugi. Yugi saves the world from darkness again, so un-original.

The good things about this movie: Pegasus has a cameo, new cards are introduced…well that’s about it.
I enjoyed it because I'm a Yugioh fan, but I didn't feel like this movie was theatre worthy.

when i heard that a yu-gi-oh movie was coming to theaters, i was happy to the point of demanding to see it. upon going to see it as a young child, i was amazed by it but now that i had re watched it as an older teen, i find there are flaws in it i was too excited to notice. since there is only one other review about this, i'll pitch in to help out. the story line, though not all together linked to the original show, was okay. i liked where they were trying to go and everything but it was sorta pulled out of the blue. the art i thought was really good, i loved the design on my old favorite childhood characters. they looked like themselves but in a more defined updated look. the sound was great since i loved the used of their original voices. the music too was alright, not quite to the standards of the show but i still enjoyed it. as i said before the characters were amazing since they were all the original ones and i had missed them greatly from the show. the main antagonist was an interesting idea but i thought he was sorta pulled out of the blue as i said before. it did tie into the original "ancient egyptian" theme so i wasn't too unhappy. honestly, i wasn't expecting it to be aas great as i thought the show was but for a sort of side story, it wasn't too bad. there are some flaws in it but for a yu-gi-oh fan like myself, i was able to enjoy it read more
