SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!
Story (3/10) Well, I wanted to see more of the world of the original fma that we all grew to love. But instead, this movie got involved in some plot about the Nazis. So yeah, very disappointing. At least we saw a little of the original. But I hate the story because it literally goes nowhere....except for the screwed up ending. Literally, the choice Ed made at the end of the movie was so stupid.
Art (7/10) Well, the art was actually a little worse. The animation was still fluid, but the art was so dull and gray. In the original series, it was beautiful to look at, but here, it was just gray everywhere, dark, dull, just not as good. It wasn't horrible, but was a real letdown.
Sound (7/10) Okay, but still, lacking compared to fma. That's all I have to say.
Characters (6/10) Well, the original characters (some of them at least) come back very well. Alphonse came back much diferrent, but the movie didn't have ENOUGH OF HIM!!!! You wanna know why? Because the movie put focus on useless characters that literally had no development or anything interesting about them. One of them even DIED! Wow, such a waste. At least Armstrong came back though.
Enjoyment (2/10) Boy, I really wanted to quit this movie in the middle of it. No, all of it. I hated it. I was extremely disappointed. I know most of you don't agree with me, and that's fine, but I had no enjoyment at all except for the few scenes when some of the original characters came back (for about a minute)
Overall: Pros:
+Some things from the original series are resolved.
+Nice to see some characters come back.
Cons:
-Everything was a step down from the original FMA.
-Awful story
-The art, while still decent, was very lacking compared to the original.
-New characters have nothing interesting about them and have no development whatsoever.
-Even worse ending then the original FMA.
Overall Score: 5/10
My Score: 3/10
I don't recommend this film to anyone, neither newcomers nor FMA fans.
