Story-4- If you have not read the visual novel, then you might of enjoyed this better than I did. The story wasn't to bad, only thing that really got on my nerves was that they really didn't seem to give a time frame. Most of the scenes were messed together and you could easily think that it was all done in 2 or 3 days. In reality it happens in 10 days.
Art-9- I would have to say my two favorite parts of the movie was the art and the music which I will get to. They did a really good job with the art keeping it flowing well.
Sound/Music-7- I'm very surprised that they didn't use most of the music from the game (they did use one track called emiya), but some of the music they did use was nice.
Character-5- There wasn't much character development. I guess that they really didn't need to. If you either watched the anime or read the novel you would pretty much know the story behind Emiya.
Enjoyment-3- Ok the reason I gave this a really low score was because they took a story line and pretty much all the details laid out and they cut out A LOT of the enjoyment of the novel. In the movie they didn't quite use all of the "shining" moments from the novel that would of made the movie probably the best one that come out this year. When a friend and I sat down to watch it after 8 long months (we both had read the novel). We tried to keep up with the movie they jumped around a lot and cut out most of the days that explained what the holy grail was (that to me would of gave this movie a lot more depth). Well I think this rant has gone on long enough, so if you really enjoyed the anime series then go ahead and watch it. BUT if you have read the novel save your self the trouble and don't even bother with it.
