Fullmetal Alchemist

This review of the Netflix film Fullmetal Alchemist the Revenge of Scar does not contain spoilers or any major plot points.

It’s hard to find some good in a movie that tries to emulate the essence of anime into a live-action movie when it’s impossible to do. The breakdown of the alchemists should have been handled differently. The action scenes are good when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, but once the powers come in, it completely falls apart. As they attempt to catch him, they learn a series of dark secrets about some of their fellow alchemists. When adapting anime or manga to live-action, the beauty of the characters and the story can get a bit lost. It’s a movie adaptation that should have stayed as the source material instead of live-action.

Fullmetal Alchemist The Revenge Of Scar was a terrible adaptation of a classic. Everything good about it is because of the original, which it does its best ...

Some others, alongside a few designs like Sloth, looked bad and took one out of the experience of watching a live-action Fullmetal Alchemist adaptation. The events of that lay pretty much forgotten as this one is a beat-for-beat remake of the anime, much better than the creative liberties that were taken in that monstrosity. Due to the nature of him being a walking and talking suit of armour, the creators thought it would be better to CGI him in every shot that he’s in, which is fine by itself but leads to several problems with his characterisations. Wooden delivery and expressionless faces from the majority of the cast were a serious detriment to the movie’s emotional and dramatic nature, and many characters were finding it difficult to change their expressions. If it is for people who already know and love the series, it is a bad idea because a sub-par imitation of a classic that we love doesn’t interest us in any way. Some of the scenes, like the train caper and a few fights, looked great. The movie hastily shoves in everything it can, from Lisa’s parents to Hohenheim, to boost the movie’s lore, but none of it matters that much if you don’t have enough time to spend with those characters. The major anti-war sentiments, alongside the major themes of revenge and forgiveness, were majorly kept intact in this adaptation. If this is for people unfamiliar with the series altogether, this is probably the worst way to experience this good of a story. All they had to do was not change much about it, and they would have been golden, but even that was too much to expect from them the last time they tried it with the original movie. Let’s see if this one was any better than the last pile of garbage in this review! It is being directed by Fumihiko Sori, who also directed the previous movie.

The history of filmmaking in Japan is more than a century old and is in no way behind in quality of its western counterparts. The filming of ‘Fullmetal Alchemist: The Revenge of Scar’ seemingly took place in and around Tokyo, the capital of Japan. The two brothers are at a vulnerable stage in their lives, and their troubles are further increased when the homunculi return to once more cause chaos.

As expected, the main cast from the 2017 movie has reprised their roles for the sequel. - Monroe Ron as May Chang (as Ron Monroe) It’s finally here!

Now on Netflix, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Revenge of Scar is the second of three live-action films adapting Hiromu Arakawa's 80 million-selling manga.

Although Edward is the man in the title for the colon and therefore the main character here, this is Scar’s story to a great extent; long stretches of the film go by without Edward, as the story contains as much knowledge as possible, presumably to cover large portions of the material from the manga series. Which movies will it remind you of?: The chintzy-looking green screen CGI (it’s an aesthetic, I guess) and nonstop action interspersed with boring parts reminded me of prince of Persia, which isn’t Jake Gyllenhaal’s best moment, but that’s okay. But there’s only one Fullmetal Alchemist, and that’s Edward (Ryosuke Yamada), who runs along with robotic brother Alphonse (voice of Atom Mizuishi) to catch a train. Edward and Alphonse often have to deal with Scar, a very tough cookie that mutilates its parts that are fortunately replaceable. The core: A cloaked figure stares at an alchemist with a handlebar mustache, one of the warrior-magician types who work for the government. If this makes sense to you, hooray, you’re part of this franchise’s widespread international fan base and you’re excited for the movie.

STREAM IT, but with the caveat that proper understanding of the franchise's ins, outs, and whaddaya-dos is required. There's also regular talk of the Philosophers Stone, which is very Harry Potter. The movie is violent, although not much more than your normal Marvel brouhaha. The chintzy-looking green-screen CGI (its an aesthetic, I guess) and nonstop action interspersed with boring parts made me think of Prince of Persia, which isn't Jake Gyllenhaals finest moment, but that's okay. Theyre barely there, flirting with a prince named Lin Yao (Kanata Hongo) until a storm breaks out, and even though an entire train car is destroyed, the train never stops roaring along the track, adhering to the Law of Unstoppable Momentum in films. It's quite the visual motif.

Therefore, in a way, the deaths of the innumerable Ishvalan men, women, and children were a sacrifice that would ultimately aid the Father in achieving his perverse objectives. Following the confrontation, the sinner is drawn into the Portal of Truth, where they are given access to all of the world’s knowledge and the secrets of alchemy until they physically and mentally disintegrate. The Father is actually attempting to recreate the Portal of Truth through Gluttony’s stomach. The homunculi confess that they are locked there forever and will eventually perish there when Edward, who is persistently trying to understand how to leave for the outside world, bothers Envy. Although the Ishvalan Civil War and the ensuing slaughter of the populace appear to have been an unavoidable accident, there was actually a nefarious design behind the heinous catastrophe. The father was gradually creating a sizable transmutation circle around Amestris, which would be used to bestow on him the authority of the supreme deity he intended to become. This period of calm was broken by the allegedly unintentional killing of an Ishvalan kid by an Amsterian soldier. They had recently encountered Ling Yao and his comrades, who had travelled to Amestris from the eastern country of Xing in pursuit of a way to become immortal. In the meantime, King Bradley and the two homunculi are being fought by Ling and his allies. Later that evening, the Elrics find out that Ling came to Amestris in order to get the immortality secrets so that he could use them to further his political goals. Later, Scar personally attacks the two brothers, but Roy and his men step in and help the brothers escape. It serves as the immediate follow-up to the

The plot is too raw, with everlasting distractions with a side plot that constantly thrives in driving you away from the important things happening. "Fullmetal Alchemist the Revenge of the Scar" is the second installment to its predecessor ‘Fullmetal Alchemist’ released in 2017. So, when the anime has already done the adaptation part well, one would simply expect the live-action movie at the very least, to deliver a satisfactory experience.
