Watch Fullmetal Alchemist For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Sick Product of a Sick System

Great Film overall

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Okay, So I know any live action anime adaptation will usually have its fair share of issues but the way it was written makes no sense regardless if you know the story or have never seen it before. Everything seemed forced, I watched this with my brothers, one of which has never seen the anime or manga, and they tried to cram so much backstory in that they lose most of the value. We get only small glimpses into the character's lives that if you are not already aware of their backstories the characters become nearly meaningless. Not to mention they created a really forced ending which only had a very vague resemblance to the source material. It would have been far better to have split this up into multiple movies or even made an entirely new plot. The CG wasn't near as bad as I was expecting,but overall the best part of the movie was set design and costumes. The acting was definitely sub par, at times it felt like the actors were emotionless. The english dub on Netflix was bad, characters would all be in the same room and Edward's voice sounded at times like he was far away. On top of that there was a scene where Edward punched a wall and they forgot to put in the sound, It was bad enough me and my brothers broke out laughing at how bad it was.

Give link of this movie. Plzzz fastttt Give link of this movie.Give link of this movie.

I actually enjoyed the original anime series more than the Brotherhood reboot which told the original story, but both deserved respect. What always made FMA great wasn't just good production quality, but larger, deeper dives into what it means to be alive, human, and flawed. It is no coincidence that the homunculi are named after the 7 deadly sins. FMA reminded us in a beautiful way that all choices have consequences we not only have to accept, but have to live with - and die with. And also, the line between sin and redemption is closer than we think.This movie does NONE of that. It's a pure fanboy vanity piece that completely misses all points. While it surely had to leave out major characters and story arcs for time, the fact that it does completely strips away all subtlety and existential plot. They likely realized that just trying to write a 120 minute script, but didn't care much because they were so dead set on just making a movie regardless. It shouldn't have been done and it shouldn't have been made knowing that from the beginning. I could LARP the Bible in 120 minutes sure, but let's not pretend the result should even be within 9 stars of the original. This movie is what happens when LARPing meets fans meets monied film producers.The opening sequence reveals all the bad special effects. The monsters keep damaging the ground and it's all repaired in the next shot, smoke keeps clearing inexplicably, or lack of it. Winry is god-awful, and is closer to japanese female stereotypes than the actual one-of-a-kind genius she's supposed to be. And OMG did they seriously just stick Gluttony in a horrible tooth costume and have him run around chasing people that are easily outrunning him, and reacting like he's Godzilla?!Watching this movie is like reading the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, then listening to them recited by Justin Bieber. The idiots all love watching some gussied-up pop icon looking deep and meaningful. The rest of us with a lick of sense realize we're just watching something great being completely appropriated for money and vanity. It's absolutely disgraceful. If you insist on making anime into live action with so little care or thought put in, like ALL anime is equal and just candy for kids, then stick to Pokemon or some crap. At least I'd laugh watching that than cry as you ruin something that was already great.

I grew up as a hardcore FMA fan, so this was something I had to see. I don't have high expectations of live action movies, because they can't quite grasp the effects of an anime, but when it came to character appearances of a European-setting with an all Asian cast, they did pretty well. I was pretty disappointed on the emotion of this movie, it wasn't nearly as moving as the anime, I feel like rather than almost following the original script with slight little plot twists, the story should have been written on a small segment of Ed and Al's journey, it wouldn't have been as rushed and they could focus on details. I think Ed's character was decent, yet he wasn't as loud, rebellious, and mouthy as the anime version, he was too serious most of the time. Al felt really distant as a character, and when it came to characters like Mustang, there was a lost connection. It would have been nice to see more action too, at least have an actor or stunt double that knows martial arts to play in the fight scenes, that would have helped liven it up. Overall this movie was better than I anticipated, yet there were a lot of holes in the story, if they were filled/changed it would have been fantastic.
