nedstark1990 said: And they were ignoring human transmutation rules: you can't heal someone, even for a little scratch, without a Philosopher Stone (like Marco), and they use it only in the end. surely, you haven't been taking Amestris alchemy as that of the world busterbeam said: I find it hilarious how reviewers (and not ANIME reviewers - there's a reason why the really awful writers from AnimeNewsNetwork aren't featured on Rottentomatoes) like this movie and find it visually impressive and yet it's the anime fans nitpicking and getting worked up over small arbitrary things. because we have a lot of viewers nowadays playing critics and elite wannabes, then you go ask them to watch the 80's and 90's, they'll brush you away cause they can't, they'll say its too old, or the animation is bad, jeez anyway, this is an FMA movie tied w/ Brotherhood so those who haven't seen it would definitely have no logical reason to check it out and the Brotherhood storyline have already been finished so what would you expect aside from a "filler" story and besides they created this to give thanks, give back to Arakawa, (fanservice to the fans if you want it literally) so basically they don't intend to overshadow anything and just live up to FMA's theme and spirit and this movie have already won in this categories, so like me, some international fest have come to admire the movie as much as i did 2011 Burbank International Film Festival Best Feature (Animation) Won 2011 Burbank International Film Festival Best Writing (Animation / Adaptation) Won 2011 Burbank International Film Festival Best Director (Animation) Won oh, and the animation, w/c definitely is unique among today's animation style, and the music score are major highlights why i love this movie so much and Julia is just loveable, especially w/ Sakamoto Maaya's voice |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| A naruto/bleach movie with FMA cast This describes this movie well....... Disappointed..... 3/5 |
 |
| I only have a few simple words for this movie... What a horrible movie. |
| Guys, animation =/= art. You're probably all complaining about the art style - and I agree, I didn't like it so much. However, the animation was pretty good. I thought it started out pretty cool, but they introduced too many things and it was too long of a movie. |
| Guess I agree with what has been said before - I didn't like the art/animation/visual side/whatever you call it, the story was 'kinda meh' and it was a huge disappointment... The least fun thing in all of the FMA franchise? |
| Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Movie using the character art/design from the first Full Metal Alchemist? I will agree however with the incredibly disappointing quality. |

| 7/10 it was an ok film i enjoyed it a lot i guess this will probably be the end of the FMA franchise anime wise... |
| As seen in the trailers, the style of animation was different, animation quality was ok, and it got better in the battle at the final, it got all the effects. The movie was good overall, the argument was entretaining and it was good to see Ed and Al in another journey. 8/10 |
| The movie was ok, just love the action. Ed and Juila simply AWESOME! 8/10 |
 |
| Just your average filler movie. 4/10 |
 |
| 10/10 for me, i'm weird. |

| Finally watched it after months of waiting since the release. My thoughts are pretty mixed up but I'm glad I get to see FMA again. The animation wasn't that bad as I had expected. I give this a 9/10. |

| pretty solid movie in my opinion 8/10 very nice movie |
| Sigh. I wish they didn't change the basic laws of the abilities when they make movies. They always do this. >_> |
| i felt kind of disappointing not that i expected something but i think they can do better than this i thought mustang would fight but no.he really cant do anything here |
 iSignature "I specialize in reading manga but don't get how to draw manga at all" -Asaba Yuuki- |
| I'd give it a 7/10. Actually didn't like the character animation, seemed a bit too wierd for FMA in the end but who cares. It was entertaining, but not more than that. PS: did anyone think of star wars anyhow? it felt like everyone was shooting their lightining blasts around, i really laughed hard when i saw them do this xD |
 |
| A want a sequel! I give it an 8/10. I was actually going to complain about the lack of consistency with the animation, it was all over the place, but the story was good so I can over look that. I would've liked for Julia and Al to meet, if they ever make a spin-off with Al as the main character after the ending of Brotherhood. |
| 7/10 it was just Ok .-. I love FMA but this movie was predictable, the animation was kind of weird and Mustang didn't have enough time on screen uwu but anyway It was entertaining at least :3 I found interesting those names given to the Milos inhabitants like "pedro" and "karina" lol |
 |
| I wanted more screen time from Roy Mustang.... all he did was cauterize her wound -.- Nice use of his abilities.. |
 |
| Nice movie, better than I expected because of the low rating given here. 7,5/10 for me because of the lack of Mustang's epicness and the animation (one of the few x,5 that I'll round up because it's closer to an 8 than to a 7 imo) |
| Good movie I loved the action. 8/10 |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the General Forum Guidelines. |
| It's pretty hard to rate this without comparing it to the series, which isn't really fair. I was pretty meh'd by it, 7/10 for me. |
| <img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/b8l5af.jpg" /> |
| The only downside was the lack of FMA characters. They could have at least expanded Mustang's screentime a bit. He didn't get to do anything. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| excellent the art wasn't that good, but the animation was awsome |
| 7/10. Pretty much lacking in everything. Feels like an attempt to milk money rather than to expand on character development. |
| オタクなんじゃねぃよ I'm not an otaku. |
| Maybe I was expecting too much because this was FMA or whatever it was that I was looking for but I cant put into words and I didn't find it while watching this. It wasn't that bad but it's 6/10 for me. Back to my own herd of goats, I guess. Meh. LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| It was ok. Still don't understand why Julia lost her leg despite her using the philosopher stone but I guess they wanted to make it kinda dramatic to prove a point I suppose ? |
| Starring Lina Inverse as: Julia Victor von Doom as: Nazi Leader Claire Stanfield as: Ashley Crichton |
 |
| zzz...It's so boring...zzz |
 |
| 3/10 |
Jotamide said: Again, what "saves" the movie is good action scenes (as usual) and...I guess that's it. And then I thought Conqueror of Shamballa was bad. I actually thought it was much better than Shambala, just not on par with Brotherhood. I just hated how Ed and Al were the only characters from the series that had some contribution to the movie, the others were just there for the sake of being there. Winry and Mustang were completely useless and probably just put in the movie for all the fanboys/girls out there. Even if they were removed from the movie, nothing would really change... |
 |
| Wow, that was.... awful. And disappointing, given how much I love FMA. But most of all, it was completely pointless. Will there ever be a good FMA movie? |

Koishii said: Wow, that was.... awful. And disappointing, given how much I love FMA. But most of all, it was completely pointless. Will there ever be a good FMA movie? The only good FMA movie would probably be about what they do after Brotherhood. I thought this movie was okay, but since the series already ended this doesn't really add anything. It's just a side story. I thought it started going down hill when a lot of the action got reduced to energy blasts. |

| I felt like half the cast was forced. Like, Roy Mustang didn’t do ANYTHING (wish he would of gotten more screen time –cries-) Riza Hawkeye was just there cuz Mustang was there Winry was put into the mix just because Edward busted up his arm a little (which honestly DIDN’T need to happen JUST to give Winry her 30 seconds of screen time) General Armstrong just came out of NOWHERE to say his two lines I wish all those characters had more of a plot importance and actually did something…. Julia seemed bipolar to me, personally. First she’s all badass, getting captured and rescued and shooting down chimeras…and the next minute she’s all teary eyed and looking all vulnerable. Her whole character structure ticked me off as a whole =_= I wish there was at least ONE Ed is short joke in this movie… I agree with everyone here who said that there were WAAAAAAY too many “twists” in this movie. -Hey Julia, I’m your brother…HAHA JK I’m actually the enemy!!!!! I was actually expecting the REAL brother to be like: –HAHA I’m kidding too, I’m not actually your brother either!!!! I was really confused at the time this movie took play in the story… Since this movie had to deal with a FORCED Philosopher’s Stone, why didn’t they put any of the homunculus in the mix? The whole movie is already over-kill, why not? The first FMA movie made more sense to me…=_= At the final battle, when Julia and her brother were shooting those lightning blasts at each other, all I could think about was “What is this Harry Potter nonsense?” |

| NO ROY MUSTANG ACTION WHATSOEVER! For that, this movie gets an 8! Haha, no but really, it was really entertaining. I didn't expect Ashley to be the other bad guy in the mask. There was lots of reconstructive surgery going around in this film! I'm glad he was able to get his face back despite being such a douche. Would've been nice to see Al and Julia hook up but whatever. Really cool movie overall. |

| I've finally watched it. Good movie, but there were too many plot twists in less than 2 hours! A little bit confusing, I would say. |
| Finally managed some time to watch it. To be honest, I find this entertaining. I didn't expect a good show, since movies based on shonens, well, usually aren't on their levels. Ofc "Milos..." isn't a worthy opponent of TV series, but isn't as bad as MAL score says either. As said before, I didn't like forcing some characters to appear (Mustang...) and at some points art was just... bad. I was really confused at the train scene - there was Elric brothers, Atlas (disguised as Ashley), Julia, wolf chimera, Amestris soldiers from train, Black Bats and some men who shot batmen in train. Who? What? With Whom? Why? |
| i watch it today coz im bored.. 3/5 3points for the art(havent watch the FMA and i only watched the brotherhood, i found the fighting scene animation are cool..) and i dont like the plot.. |
