Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

wolfycorp I loved this movie. It was not only very interesting, but was also a good conclusion to the original series.The movie is truly great, takes an homage to a lot of already seen characters, for example, I appreciated Wrath and Gluttony's appearence. Even Dante (?)'s little cameo was enough to smile. The unique cameo I didn't like very much was Scar's, because it felt just random.I really like the plot, it feels like a New Great War is going to start, tensions are everywhere, and there is a lot to cover. I liked when the characters talked about Hitler and the Nazis. I liked the main antagonist (she actually didn't feel like the big bad until the climax of the movie), but I didn't like Hughes' alter-ego, because it looks kind of a bad guy, but I love King Bradley's alter-ego, instead.I speculated about the main antagonist's true motives, and I thought my thoughts were a bit more reasonable and logic than the true ones, but it isn't a major let-off.I loved the art style and animation, I absolutely like it! I just didn't like the CGI elements (the armors, the battleships), but other than those, everything is perfect.I would recommend this movie only to someone who already seen the original series and loved it. You won't be deluded by this Pearl of animation!

Brandin Lindsey Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa is a 2005 Japanese anime based on the Fullmetal Alchemist series and manga. The movie is a direct follow-up of the series and gives resolution to many of the conflicts that remained at the end of the show. The story follows Edward Elric, a young alchemist, stuck in a parallel world and trying to find his way home. Driven to be reunited with his friends and family, Edward must face new adversaries who also want to travel to his home-world, but for much more nefarious reasons.This movie is a fan feast, with characters brought back from the series along with answering a lot of the questions we were left with at the end of the show. Full of fun action scenes, great animation, some funny moments, and a story with a surprising amount of depth, Conqueror of Shamballa is a great movie to top off the series. The story ties into real-life history, making the story all the more enjoyable. The movie also ends strong with a very exciting climax.Despite this, Conqueror of Shamballa suffers from a common problem with anime: melodrama. Over-the-top, obnoxious personalities occasionally contrast from the serious story line. Another problem with this movie is that it does not stand alone. You must watch the series, otherwise you're just seeing the last chapter to another story. This prevents outsiders from enjoying this anime. Also, while fun for the most part and having an exciting final act, the movie is boring and drags on through the second act.Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa is a fun movie overall, and a must-watch for any who enjoyed the series. With a great story and plenty for the fans, watching this movie is a perfect way to finish the series. If you have not yet seen the show, come back to this anime later. You're meant to know the events from the series and this movie builds on that. The series is excellent and will be well worth your time.

Syndicateman First off, I am critical of this movie because I really had high hopes and instead, this movie sucked.*possible spoilers* (if you haven't seen the TV series) Where to begin??? Well, let's start at the quality. The movie was barely better than the original TV series and the two fight scenes were very nicely crafted. However the CGI was horrid.Then there is the plot holes and questions that still remain after the whole movie is all said and done. This movie does not close off as a successful conclusion to a very broad universe known as FMA and only returns to expand the universe more before leaving us with nothing but our imaginations to decipher what would happen in the future.And then there is the stories biggest fault. Adding WWII and Hitler... WHY ?? The series was perfect... and didn't need Hitler. It didn't even need Germany.Overall the entire movie was sorely lacing in what a true FMA movie could have been and if I were the directors, I'd scrap CoS and make a new, more "ending", ending.

YGG1000 As a devote fan to the series, I got very excited when hearing that there was going to be a movie made. Part of me was worried that it wouldn't be made with the same meticulous perfection that the series was created with...I shouldn't have worried.The movie itself is absolutely awesome. I found it very enjoyable and (unlike a lot of anime movies) find myself able to watch it over and over again.And to those who complain about the ending. If the end of the movie had been *any* different, it would not have been FMA's style. I thought the end was brilliant. So, check it out!
