Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos Review

Story: 2/10
The story for this seemed way too sloppy for the standards for many fans and I have for the series. The story is basically a retelling of the current FMA story in another area which is easy to see as about 15 minutes and thus is a great weakness in the film. Again the writing for this is pretty sloppy cause this is a straight forward plot dressed as something complex and it really works against the film simply cause this didn't need to be a movie if the writing was better I could see it as a two OVA episodes but nothing more. Because it's so long I lost interest in the movie and started wondering when it would be over which one should never think about a film.

Animation: 2/10
The animation looks like something out of Hayao Miyazaki film which seemed like a poor fit for FMA. For a Miyazaki film it works cause that part of the films charm but for this movie it just looked cheap.

Overall Rating: Don't waste your time with it: 1.4/10
The major reason the film sucks is cause the story is back tracking so you already know that Edward and Alphonse won't get seriously hurt or die because you've seen either FMA or Brotherhood and you know what happens. Second the movie has three underdeveloped villains that are only underdeveloped because of the movies running time, on the other hand this movie also focus a little more on Ed and Alphonse detective skills which would have been more interest for a post alchemy Ed and Al. Lastly it would have worked better with the Alphonse and Julia relationship they tried in the end.
