There's plenty to work with, but it rushes between emotional speeches and showdowns.February 21, 2018
It's hard to recommend to anyone but the most faithful of curious fans.February 21, 2018
If you're a fan of the franchise, it's worth checking out. It's a watch that pales in comparison to the original, but Fullmetal Alchemist makes for such a good story, even a bad version of it has weight.October 26, 2017
Characters come and go quickly, leaving a feeling that there is too much compression of the multi-episode story.February 21, 2018
Where this version really won me over is with its compelling effects and worldbuilding. It's hard to translate the madcap randomness and outrageousness of anime action into, well, real life, but Sori gives it a spirited go.October 30, 2017
Conservative fans might appreciate its craven faithfulness, but adaptation isn't much fun when it's just approximation, and Fullmetal Alchemist behaves less like cinema than cosplay on a cinema budget.October 26, 2017
Following [a] spirited set-up, the story never gains much propulsion or emotional weight.November 30, 2017
Fullmetal Alchemist has some good things going for it, but needs to fix the leaks and sputtering in the narrative's engine. The movie leaves room for a sequel, so maybe we'll get to see a new and improved Hagaren soon.
