If it was something just short and small to show at an anime or comic-book convention, fine, but not for 90 minutes! After said 30 minutes, I did a rarity on my part which was to walk out, feeling that even though something was sort of going on with the character of Yugi- going into Egypt for some rare creature to face off or whatever- there wasn't anything really to see more of that I didn't already get bombarded with already. So much is invested into making the card-players with their animals fight off incredibly stylish and colorful, which here and there it was, they forgot that they're making a movie. After about 30 minutes of the film, I started to get the same sensation I felt having seen Digimon in the theater years before- the sensation of being numbed by over-the-top, hideous displays of anime via lots and lots and lots of battles between characters that I couldn't give a hoot about. I knew that there was also a whole big trading card side to the whole shebang, but that maybe the filmmakers might forgo that for an actual story or at least one or two characters to have some sort of interest in (at least in Pokemon there was the villains out to stop Pikachu and those other kids).

At the time I actually saw it in the theater (snuck in of course), hoping maybe that the film might be slightly different from the one-sided approach on the TV show that makes Pokemon look like Miyazaki.

Suddenly this movie came back to me in a flash- of what I tried to watch of it, anyway. Reviewed by Quinoa1984 2 / 10 I walked out, sad to say but it's true Then there is the voice acting, which was equally bland across the board.Īll in all, I can understand why people like it but sorry it wasn't for me. The characters didn't engage me, even the title character and I found the villain insipid, also there is next to no character development.
The dialogue is poor, I never found myself moved, amused or amazed by it, and while the concept did intrigue me and there are one or two semi-decent scenes the whole story is predictable and dull and holds no correlation to the show at all. The animation is flat for me, lacking the ethereal quality in the backgrounds and some of the little details such as the hair was done in an inconsistent way too. There was nothing of big surprise and I just wasn't entertained by it. However, the film is too short and unevenly paced dragging in the not-so-important parts and feeling rushed in the more action-packed moments.Īction wise, Yu-Gi-Oh! comes across as rather generic. That is memorable and fits so well with the movie.
It does have one outstanding asset, and that was the soundtrack. Yu-Gi-Oh! is not the worst animated movie ever, or the worst movie ever, but I didn't like it very much either. I know I am going to be flamed for this opinion, but I never have been a fan of the show, I found it repetitive and predictable with characters I didn't care for.
