    Anyone who likes YuGiOh the series will love this film. Regardless of age. This film has all the action and twists in it to make it appeal to anyone, expecially those who are already fans of YuGiOh. The reviewers dont know what there talking about. Because they cant undertand it. Onece they undertand the film they will love it. Anyway thats just my opinion. Others may hate the film. Thats alright too. It just doesn't apeal to you if you dont like it. In myh case case YuGiOh The Movie apeals to me. Have Fun watching the film, i did!… Expand

    This was terrific. I went in with low expectations (it's still a shame they changed the voice of Yugi), but this movie rocked! Those 89 minutes went by so fast, I sat in the theater and watched it again. This is even better than the second Pokemon film, although Alien vs. Predator is still your best bet for a good time at the movies.

    Its so awesome how they break the rules they're such gangsters. They're just like " Lets play Blue Eyes" but they can't so they throw the rules right out the window and that's EPICNESSSS!!! Who cares If Yu-Gi has the stupidest hair ever, that just makes this movie more gangster.

    I have been a fan of Yugioh for a few years and I liked this movie, so a 15% isn't the appropriate rating for me. A fine 9/10 would be my highest expectations. The animation was good, The characters were great, and the action scenes with the Yugioh monsters was pretty well built up.

    What can I say? If you are a fan, you will enjoy it. Although I would prefer a better plot-line. On the postitive side is that 4Kids used the word 'die' in this movie. I would still have prefered FUNimation dubbing the series.

    I liked how all they did was bring out their strongest monsters and trash-talk each-other into battle! It doesn't stop there, the movie has merchandise! Yes, they sell cards! This means that if you enjoyed the movie like I did you can experience the magic at home with your friends, Somehow I was entertained even though I don't watch the anime.

    No doubt its small fans are thrilled, but even young kids will have to be pretty undemanding to enjoy this mess.

    If your child forces you to go to Yu-Gi-Oh!, remember that there's no law against iPods in movie theaters.
