Yu gi oh was an anime I watched from time to time but I was never really that big of a fan. I was actually expecting the movie to be decent at the very least but, boy, was I wrong.In the movie, Kaiba defeats Peagsus in a duel and wins two new cards to help him defeat Yugi's god cards, one of them being the pyramid of light which prevents Yugi from summoning the god cards and Yugi, Joey and Tristans souls are sucked inside Yugi's Egyptian god puzzle. While Kaiba and the Pharoah are in the pyramid of light, any life points they lose will affect their physical life force. One problem with this movie is that It is the usual "Kaibi wants to defeat Yugi" plot that has been seen plenty of times in the show. It would have been a lot more interesting if they went in a similar direction to the Pokemon movies where team rocket are not the main villains but still somewhat relevant to the plot. Because of this direction, the outcome is pretty predictable.I normally prefer dubs over subs but the dialogue in this movie is pretty cringe-worthy. In one scene inside the Egyptian god puzzle, Joey says "I believe we're not in Kansas anymore" which just felt forced and unnecessary.The biggest problem with the movie is the main villain, Anibus who doesn't appear until near the end of the movie and by this point, you just know that the pharaoh is going to make quick work of him.If you are a hardcore fan of the anime, you may enjoy this movie but otherwise I do not recommend it.

To be honest I came into this movie thinking it was going to be decent at best. And boy was I wrong! All the ingredients of an animated classic are evident in "Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie", a technically impressive and heartfelt film from director Ryusoke Takahashi. There are no complaints in the voice acting department, and that's mainly due to the movie's cast which features stars Dan Green, Wayne Grayson, Eric Stuart, and Darren Dunstan. As a supplement to the wonderful voice acting, the score (provided by Gil Talmi) effectively sets the mood throughout the entire film. But where this movie really shines is in its visually breathtaking and poetic narrative that provides so much depth and insight on basic human nature that it almost seems as it's never even trying. The story simply unfolds magically in front of your eyes. Unlike many movies in recent history, this movie doesn't substitute excitement over pacing and plot. It takes it's time setting up the characters and setting, and then unleashes you in this new and unfamiliar world. But that's not to say it doesn't have its fair share of excitement. But I wouldn't dare spoil this movie for you any further, and will leave you with this final note: It's time to dudududududu... duuuueeeellll!

I finished watching the movie not half an hour ago and I was stunned... I actually tried contacting WB and 4KIDS entertainment to complain.. but.. it's useless... Although I am only 18 I have noticed severe decreases in children's general knowledge and now I know why: films like "yu-gi-oh"... to elaborate let's begin with a few pieces of info on Anubis... he was the Egyptian god of embalming, and actually a very good guy... "the Lord of the Underworld" is Osiris, another good god... a very good one actually... We let children watch such movies and then wonder why all they know is playing computer games although they can't read or write properly... I am from Romania, so I can't put it exactly how this kind of entertainment affects American children, o other children in the world, but to put it shortly.. it's like people forgetting who Abraham Lincoln was!

I'm sorry but for someone who plays the card game, reads the manga, and watches the Japanese anime of Yugioh, i have to say... 4Kids has gone too f****** far. Sorry. But this whole movie is made of 4Kids crap. they destroyed the anime and now the movie. So many mistakes, so many crap dialog and scenes, too much 4Kids venom. I did not enjoy this movie one bit. At least the Japanese version of this movie made more sense and was actually good. But 4Kids has ruined this movie. Many fans, and the Japanese creators and viewers agree that this was a disgrace. I'm sorry guys but no reason to own this movie. thank god I saw this on TV rather than rent it or buy it. This is simply because 4kids not only ruined the mood and feel of the film but the characters as well. i did not believe one character in this entire movie. Yeah and the PG rating does a lot (sarcasm). Don't waste your time with this one.
