Full Metal Alchemist:Conqueror of Shambala review

Where do I begin...Hmmm lemme see...The epic tale of Alphonse and Edward Elrick starts right where the series left off.

Ed is still stuck in the "real world" while Al has become a really cool alchemist in the original world. "The two brother's path's inexorably cross as they desperately try to find a way back to one another.

Man I am sooo lazy and my time is sooo valuable that I will just highlight my likes and dislikes.

Top 5 things I hated:

5.They designed Alphonse Elrick to look just like his older brother did in the series. I know he misses him but "COME ON!"

4.Too much time was spent in the world with no alchemy. That part of the movie dragged and dragged.

3.The characters in the main world also hadn't changed too much. This story kind made the real world seem flat and imagined.

2.They seem to just add characters at random is the alternate world. Characters that died off in the original series. Scar and Hughes just to name a few.

1.The number 1 reason I disliked the FMA:The Movie was for the way they tried to force polical and societal jargon from the real world.Example: Why the fuck is King Bradley alive and also a jew? WTF. That was an odd twist to say the least.

Top 5 things I liked:

5.I love the intro music...and all the visuals with the cast. I wish the ending was better though.

4.The Full Metal Alchemist is still a shrimp :).

3.Alphonse Elrick's growth as an alchemist--That whole "lose soul" ideology and soul transfer technique were very well thought out.

2.Seeing the Flame Alchemist "Roy Mustang" ONE MORE TIME.-Even though it was brief.

1.The awesome fight between gluttony and that humonculi kid.
