This is one hell of a movie from my childhood. I adore this movie to death, and I've watched it a million times over the years, and still to this day I watch it often. It's really entertaining, the theming for the most part was pretty good, the monsters where awesome, and the sound and music blew my balls off, but compared to the actual series, it was kinda lame.
Though I will say that the movie's artwork and animation where all really well done, for the most part, it got really boring when Anubis stepped in, and in my opinion, even Kaiba's duel with yugi wasn't as fun as it was to watch in the series. Kaiba destroyed half of Yugi's deck with his Deck Destruction Virus, (Which is the most OP card I've ever seen, might I add) so there was no real chance for Yugi to show off his cards and strategies. And according to the Deck list on Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki, I'd say that's pretty sad.
I like that they tried to bring it closer to the actual game, but somehow, it makes it less fun to watch. Yugi pulled off so many cool strategies in the show, but in this one, he was pretty much backed into a corner the entire time until the final battle with Anubis (Who wasn't as intimidating as he was made out to be earlier in the movie).
Overall, it's a really fun movie from my childhood, and worth the watch, but less fulfilling then the series, if you ask me.
