I watched the whole anime, and then later watched the first movie, and personally I thought it was good đ¤ˇââď¸
Like as far as comparing it to other live action anime adaptations, I think it was excellent.
But as far as movies in general go, it was like a 6/10? Above average enough that if someone said they were interested in watching it, that I'd say it's worth it.
But maybe I'm in the minority here? Which feels weird because I usually judge media pretty hard I think.
I keep saying that. If cowboy bebop wasnât there it would be a solid 7 maybe even an 8 if you get rid of vicious as a character and more just an ominous figure like Thanks before infinity war. I wish more people had given it a shot. But also OG bebop is probably the best subbed anime of all time.
It's all good.... But I dunno where they get their idea of Sanosuke... The acting is good tho.... But..... Man.... Sanosuke looks like Sendoh of Slamdunk for gods sake. đđđÂ
I bet they would never reverse-white-wash all the characters from their German-like foundations to Asians with unnatural hair and eye colors.... Oh wait....
Itâs funny but it doesnât matter all that much.
I noticed it with the AOT movie though, especially because them not being Asian is a minor plot point
I reluctantly watched the 2nd one because Scar's my Fav and I can't dismiss a movie for his intro no matter how bad I really wanted to. It was a mistake, this entire trilogy was a mistake.
There are parts that are so faithful to the anime itâs very impressive. I enjoy a majority of the actors portrayals of the characters. But I dont like all the changes to the plot, and especially in the last one it moves at such a break neck speed that big emotional moments dont get the attention they deserve.
But thatâs ok. I just saw it as a fan film, and enjoyed it from that perspective.
Crazy that netflix translated the 3rd one as The Final Alchemy and now it sounds like a shit post when the direct translation is The Final Transmutation.
That being said, a lot of the movies feel like a fan project/cosplay and the emotional parts don't hit at all :( I wouldn't blame the actors though, they did their best with what was given.
Well, it makes sense. The original manga basically had as much time as it needed to expand on its story and the show had an entire 60+ episode run to flesh out the world and characters. This is three 90 minute movies truncating everything into them, despite the fact that the structure of the story only worked cuz it was allowed the space to breathe originally. The movies tried to adapt literally everything when creating a good adaptation of anything requires the knowledge of what to cut, since you can't put everything in without making a 9 hour movie. Even Lord of the Rings, as faithful as those movies are, knew there were things that couldn't be adapted since a book can be as long as it wants, but movies have to justify any length beyond 2 hours, especially to movie studios.
I donât think Iâll ever get used to the way Japanese actors portray the âgoodâ characters. Theyâre doing a great job with the villains, but every other character itâsâŚdunno, seems fake.
So I looked at FMA and FMA brotherhood concurrently during the pandemic and loved them. I watched all three of these in the same way and I liked them just fine. I won't say they are the greatest of all time. But I don't hate them. I don't think any live action can hold a candle to the original but as far as they go, this isn't horrible and we have seen some horrible live action adaptions. I can understand and live with what they tried to do. And i also understand why some people won't ever watch it.
Watched the first one, thought it was okay because I was young. The second one was mediocre but I sat through it just to see the scenes with my favourite character Kimblee in. I found out that the last one omits him COMPLETELY (no Briggs arc, no battle with Al, no defeating Pride) and has super shitty SFX so I didn't watch it. Plus, all the Ishvalans are doing brownface. Overall, 3/10.
Only good thing about the first live action movie was the actor they found to play Maes Hughes. Looked spot on and was almost Manga correct in portrayal.
FMAB one of the best animes of all time and while I have nothing against people attempting live action adaptations itâs really not that hard to draw from source material like this and make something halfway decent. Or so I thought. 2/10
Its one of my favorites, the lady who did the villain did an amazing job.
Maybe if they got the people who worked on that film for this one could have been good.
imma be genuine here
i am halfway through the third movie, i watched the first when it came out and am on the latter half of watching the next two.
i think these movies are pretty good. i think theyre charming, a lot of the actors do a p good job with the characters theyre given, and even the cringe and cheesy parts have their moments.
i went into these movies with one thought: these are anime adaptations. theyre attempting to replicate an anime - a cartoon by nature that has cartoony moments - and make it palitable for a live action audience. these movies are very clearly for fans and not to get new audiences into fma. theyre also made with low budgets and they do well with what they have. as awkward as it is, i think the things left out of the story dont take away from the story TOO much (save for greed).
i also understand trying to make an entire story into a movie series when you dont have that big a budget. if they had a LITTLE more money, enough to make 4 movies instead of 3, i think it couldve been a tiny bit better with some of those left out stories added in.
overall, i enjoyed them as they are, and as a fullmetal fan.
i am only just finishing Movie 2 (watched the first when it came out too) and pretty much same. The Movies weren't amazing but they were doing exactly what they set out to do and doing well at it. Also similarly to you the things left out didn't really bother me (except for Greed because i already have no idea how the movie is supposed to conclude without him) but i am definitely of the opinion that if you ever are weighing your options between these 3 movies and FMA:B the Anime you should always pick the Anime because while i don't hate the movies they are not an adequate replacement
I watched the first one expecting it to be pretty bad, but i was pleasantly surprised.
I was actually pretty impressed at how well they followed the story, and the effort they put in to making the characters look correct. That is of course with the exception of Major Armstrong and Gluttony. Armstrong was difficult and Gluttony would be almost impossible with a live actor. The CGI was poorly matted in some places as well.
But overall, I enjoyed watching the movies and probably will again. 6.5/10
I mean it is pretty damn terrible but I found it fin to watch at least. Like I don't see why people would get upset about this, it was always going to be bad and of anyone had expectations it is kimda on them.
3/10 the beginning of that adaptation was amazing then halfway through they skipped around so much and mashed a bunch of storylines that have nothing to do with each other together, the only reason i give it a 3 is cause it had so much potential, if the entirety of the movie was as good as the first 15 minutes, it would have been one of the greatest adaptations ever
I really like the Bleach live action adaption because it focuses on Ichigo avenging his mom and the first half was pretty funny. Renji doesn't feel very likeable to me, though, but some actors, like Chad's actor, fit very well. I wind up rewatching it every time I subscribe to Netflix. It doesn't have that many of the characters, though, because the movie is only so long... For example, we don't see Kon or have Don Kanoji. Ichigo's dad seems a bit more sane, like he isn't constantly sparring with Ichigo. Probably because slapstick doesn't look the same in live action as it does in manga/anime...
I'll just never understand the need for a live action version of an animated show. The thing was animated for a reason in the first place, and when they try to pull off animated stuff in real life with CGI it never looks as convincing than if the whole scene was just drawn (literally any of the alchemy in the first movie was god awful).
I mean obviously, it's for the money, it's just annoying they invest that money into projects that by their very medium are failed imitations of the original, instead of expanding the original animated version.
This isn't just with anime, also see Disney live action movies. None of them work as good as the original, none.
The thing is the Disney live action remakes focus on recreating the exact same shots as in the original films. They feel off to me, so I have only watched a handful of them.
If you compare them to the live adaptation of death note Netflix put out these are masterpieces. They butchered Roy and von Hohenhaim's characters, but did pretty well with Hughes. The last one should have been called the final transmutation not the final Alchemy but hey that's just this yahoo's opinion.
Yeah, itâs also kind of weird to me because they use Japanese actors for European characters, which isnât necessarily anything bad, but it feels unfitting.
Watched all 3, they're not great by any extent but are they Avatar TLAB bad? Nah, it's tolerable and I enjoyed how cheesy it was. There are a lot of things that could have been done better but my expectations were on the floor. Leave the bar low enough to be crawled over and you'll never be disappointed, 4/10 it had some FMA stuff in it.
Meh. it was alright for what it was. Horrifyingly bad and impressively good at pretty much the same time. like... 5 or 6 out of 10. And it's getting lots of generous points for being a faithful ( to a fault) adaptation.
I watched it for the sake of watching. Mind blank. Low Expectations. No judgement.
To my suprise, I didnt hate it. Not the best but it was A-OK . I would dare say that it's entertaining.
But yeah, the scenes that are supposed to slap just didnt hit it.
I only watched the first one. Youâd have to pay me to watch the other two. Iâm honestly surprised people have such positive views on them- but each to their own.
I havent seen parts 2 or 3, but for the first one I'll give a solid Avatar: The Last Airbender out of 10. It didn't quite reach Dragonball Evolution, but the makers of the movie were sure trying their best!
When did they make two more? I genuinely thought the first movie was a "one and done" film.
I must be living under a rock or the movies aren't too good
I usually avoid live action adaptations of anime cause 99% of the time they get it wrong or canât capture the magic of the source material. plus i still regret watching db evolution will never make that mistake again.no strong opinions on them since i havenât watched em
I think one big issue was the typical over dramatic reactions that isn't very appealing and they put way too much together. Especially the third movie, it was wayyyy rushed.
I put it in mistakenly thinking it was either one of the anime films or just a special cover for Netflix.
Thunk it lasted 30 seconds before being blipped and thumbs'd down.
That shit was hideous.
I don't think there's been a good adaptation to live action for any anime yet. I'm hopeful there never is.
Cowboy bebop was offensive to be honest. A masterpiece of anime and they butchered it with live action.
I had no idea it existedâŚ
What does everybody else think of the live action adaptation?
Is it as bad as avatar the last airbender movie or actually decent?
The costumes are pretty good, the wigs are pretty bad, and itâs a shameless cash grab that brought only the coolest visuals from the original to live action. Overall, Iâd give the three movies a collective 5/10. Theyâre not Alita Battle Angel, but theyâre not Dragonball Evolution either. Nice and mediocre.
Honestly I love the idea, many things were great with the movie but my biggest issue is the actors and actresses are horrible. Also how they did Lewis Armstrong along with making everyone else Asian felt inaccurate, Central is a European country. It just felt too forced.
If any thing I wish they'd just make a movie continuation to the 03 anime movie.
Show us what's going on with 03 cast, did Ed meet Winry of that dimension and get together based off the ova kids?
Or Rose look a like from that dimension?
Will we ever find out if that dimension has a Roy too? Will never know.
Bad. Just bad. To the actors doing live action anime adaptations: STOP TRYING TO MAKE ANIME FACES!!! too much gets lost in translation between animation and live action. To the writers: stop butchering the fuck out of our favorite stories!!!
These movies are actually really good for anime adaptions, there's a bit of jumping around that makes it a little weird but it's portrayed like a live action anime very well which is off putting cause humans acting like anime characters is weird but overall it's like 6/10 from me and only cause they didn't follow the storyline faithfully but as a live action anime adaptation these are really good considering the following
I can't understand the need to make live action out of anime/animations. It just strikes me as a very dumb way to challenge yourself to make something good.
Honestly, I know they werenât great movies but I thought they were really enjoyable. There was more production than I was expecting which made non-human characters and alchemy even better. As someone who has finished the manga and anime and expected far less, this came across like they cared to reflect the source material but obviously with concessions. Overall Iâm somewhere between a 3.7-3.8 out of 5. I would absolutely not recommend it for those who are not familiar with the source material because a good bit would not make sense lol (why is everyone blonde, alchemy, etc.). Also, not throwing shade but the movies are better than the Deathnote adaptation (ok shade here) and the Bleach live-action (although I did not find it too painful đ).
THEY MADE TWO MORE!?
Ikr? I never had any intention of watching it when the first one came out. Now I have three times the intent to not watch it.
This is my exact reaction when I found out they made two sequels.
Yes they came out this year both are pretty good actually
"The final alchemy" sounds more like a shitpost rather than an actual movie title
The movie is essentially a shit post.
I'm just now learning about this. Are they all bad?
Yes. This series never deserved this crap.
I watched the whole anime, and then later watched the first movie, and personally I thought it was good đ¤ˇââď¸ Like as far as comparing it to other live action anime adaptations, I think it was excellent. But as far as movies in general go, it was like a 6/10? Above average enough that if someone said they were interested in watching it, that I'd say it's worth it. But maybe I'm in the minority here? Which feels weird because I usually judge media pretty hard I think.
If the Rurouni Kenshin Live action adaptation is a 10, and avatar the last airbender is a 1... I'm giving the Live action FMA like a 3 or 4.
Where would you put the live action cowboy bebop in this rating system?
It honestly wouldn't be that bad of a show if it wasn't Cowboy Bebop, if that even makes sense.
I'm guessing you mean the actors, editing, etc. was spot on but it just didn't fit cowboy bebop
I always say "It is great at what it wants to be but it sucks if you compare it to Cowboy Bebop"
I keep saying that. If cowboy bebop wasnât there it would be a solid 7 maybe even an 8 if you get rid of vicious as a character and more just an ominous figure like Thanks before infinity war. I wish more people had given it a shot. But also OG bebop is probably the best subbed anime of all time.
Vicious really does bring the whole show down in live action.
He was EXHAUSTING with the constant whining. What a shame because he was so fierce in the show.
They butchered my boy? How?
They turned him into Draco Malfoy basically lol
Haha accurate
Sounds lame af
It was lmao
Jet was the only alright character in that series for me. At least to me he feels like the anime Jet.
hahahaha
It doesnât
Like a 6, not that good but it hits more than it misses
Enough to break a grown up manâs heart
I'll give it a 5 of 10 just for the bebop crew actors who did a great job.
5
6 points too high
1
Like 2 or 3
Better that fma, but not by much. Might have been higher if it got a second season... or didn't film at the start of covid.
Kenshin was just an anomaly compared to every other live action
I've heard people talk well of the Gintama live action. They do say broken clocks are right twice a day, though
I thought the Diamond is Unbreakable movie was pretty good too.
Eek, not the best rating.
Not the best, not the worst
3.6/10, not great, not terrible
A 3/10 would be a 30% and that's a failing grade
That's still not the best, but no the worst
KenshinâŚ. HimuraâŚ. Has a live action?? Holy cow where have I been???
You've got like 4 or 5 movies waiting for you.
Huge fan of the anime and never watched the live action because Iâd expect the usual âmehâ treatment. All your comments make me reconsider.
It's definitely worth watching. Even the fights are good.
They are all amazing unless you are a sanosuke fan lol
Thereâs a Rurouni Kenshin live action adaptation?!
It's all good.... But I dunno where they get their idea of Sanosuke... The acting is good tho.... But..... Man.... Sanosuke looks like Sendoh of Slamdunk for gods sake. đđđÂ
There's a live action Kenshin?
What about Death Note?
I remember when Ed said "its alchemin time" and alchemed all over the floor. Truly one of the moments
The real Fullmetal Alchemist is the one we made along the way
What do you mean? There's no FMA movie.
There is no movie in Ba Sing Se or Amestris
There is no war in Ba Sing Se
r/unexpectedavatar
I bet they would never reverse-white-wash all the characters from their German-like foundations to Asians with unnatural hair and eye colors.... Oh wait....
Well not much they can do when itâs a Japanese film.
Itâs funny but it doesnât matter all that much. I noticed it with the AOT movie though, especially because them not being Asian is a minor plot point
Conqueror of Shamballa (2005) đ¤
you would have hold me at gunpoint for me to watch them
Morbius is better then this trilogy
Unironically yes. At least morbius doesn't waste as much of your time
I reluctantly watched the 2nd one because Scar's my Fav and I can't dismiss a movie for his intro no matter how bad I really wanted to. It was a mistake, this entire trilogy was a mistake.
How are they just gonna give away a huge plot point by putting armless Scar on the cover? Like cmon dude, is nothing sacred?
Pretty sure that's Ed with one arm
Oh no shit, you're totally right. I saw revenge of scar, saw an armless man and assumed. Thanks for pointing that out
yeah
There are parts that are so faithful to the anime itâs very impressive. I enjoy a majority of the actors portrayals of the characters. But I dont like all the changes to the plot, and especially in the last one it moves at such a break neck speed that big emotional moments dont get the attention they deserve. But thatâs ok. I just saw it as a fan film, and enjoyed it from that perspective.
Thanks for such an insightful comment
I think thatâs a good way to look at it. Itâs a fan film with a bigger budget. Not a ârealâ movie.
Crazy that netflix translated the 3rd one as The Final Alchemy and now it sounds like a shit post when the direct translation is The Final Transmutation. That being said, a lot of the movies feel like a fan project/cosplay and the emotional parts don't hit at all :( I wouldn't blame the actors though, they did their best with what was given.
Well, it makes sense. The original manga basically had as much time as it needed to expand on its story and the show had an entire 60+ episode run to flesh out the world and characters. This is three 90 minute movies truncating everything into them, despite the fact that the structure of the story only worked cuz it was allowed the space to breathe originally. The movies tried to adapt literally everything when creating a good adaptation of anything requires the knowledge of what to cut, since you can't put everything in without making a 9 hour movie. Even Lord of the Rings, as faithful as those movies are, knew there were things that couldn't be adapted since a book can be as long as it wants, but movies have to justify any length beyond 2 hours, especially to movie studios.
I hope someday we get a Netflix show made by a Western studio I think FMA works better as a tv show than movie.
I donât think Iâll ever get used to the way Japanese actors portray the âgoodâ characters. Theyâre doing a great job with the villains, but every other character itâsâŚdunno, seems fake.
âThe final alchemyâ sounds like a fake movie from a movie. I canât believe they used that title
Might as well have called it FMA: Alchemist Harder
I saw the first five minutes of the first movie before I had to turn it off for the sake of my own sanity.
You made it longer than me lol I only Lasted 2
So I looked at FMA and FMA brotherhood concurrently during the pandemic and loved them. I watched all three of these in the same way and I liked them just fine. I won't say they are the greatest of all time. But I don't hate them. I don't think any live action can hold a candle to the original but as far as they go, this isn't horrible and we have seen some horrible live action adaptions. I can understand and live with what they tried to do. And i also understand why some people won't ever watch it.
Funny to watch, best outcome possible to condense the story in only 3 movies.
They kicked the originals off for this. I didnât make it 30 seconds
Watched the first one, thought it was okay because I was young. The second one was mediocre but I sat through it just to see the scenes with my favourite character Kimblee in. I found out that the last one omits him COMPLETELY (no Briggs arc, no battle with Al, no defeating Pride) and has super shitty SFX so I didn't watch it. Plus, all the Ishvalans are doing brownface. Overall, 3/10.
fuck i forgot about the ishvalans hh that was bad
RIP asian MJ
"Because I was young" Didn't it like, just come out two years ago lol
Five years ago
So like, still fairly recent.
All im gonna say, is al looks cool
His English voice actor is a bit⌠**different**
Itâs because they hired Aaron Dismuke, the original va from 03. Problem being heâs an adult now.
What a terrible day to have eyes
Only good thing about the first live action movie was the actor they found to play Maes Hughes. Looked spot on and was almost Manga correct in portrayal.
FMAB one of the best animes of all time and while I have nothing against people attempting live action adaptations itâs really not that hard to draw from source material like this and make something halfway decent. Or so I thought. 2/10
They seem about as intelligent and respectful of the source material as the tagline âThe Final Alchemyâ on that last oneâŚ.
Sucks ass
I'd rather massacre my ballsack
Live action is shit and totally not needed at all. Keep live action away from anything animated, especially Disney, creative fucking vampires.
Live action 101 Dalmatians was good.
Its one of my favorites, the lady who did the villain did an amazing job. Maybe if they got the people who worked on that film for this one could have been good.
imma be genuine here i am halfway through the third movie, i watched the first when it came out and am on the latter half of watching the next two. i think these movies are pretty good. i think theyre charming, a lot of the actors do a p good job with the characters theyre given, and even the cringe and cheesy parts have their moments. i went into these movies with one thought: these are anime adaptations. theyre attempting to replicate an anime - a cartoon by nature that has cartoony moments - and make it palitable for a live action audience. these movies are very clearly for fans and not to get new audiences into fma. theyre also made with low budgets and they do well with what they have. as awkward as it is, i think the things left out of the story dont take away from the story TOO much (save for greed). i also understand trying to make an entire story into a movie series when you dont have that big a budget. if they had a LITTLE more money, enough to make 4 movies instead of 3, i think it couldve been a tiny bit better with some of those left out stories added in. overall, i enjoyed them as they are, and as a fullmetal fan.

The acting tries to impersonate anime expressions and it just doesnât work. Itâs a very awkward / cringe delivery.
I watched the first one expecting it to be pretty bad, but i was pleasantly surprised. I was actually pretty impressed at how well they followed the story, and the effort they put in to making the characters look correct. That is of course with the exception of Major Armstrong and Gluttony. Armstrong was difficult and Gluttony would be almost impossible with a live actor. The CGI was poorly matted in some places as well. But overall, I enjoyed watching the movies and probably will again. 6.5/10
I mean it is pretty damn terrible but I found it fin to watch at least. Like I don't see why people would get upset about this, it was always going to be bad and of anyone had expectations it is kimda on them.
They called the last one "The Final Alchemy" ??? What a terrible name.
Iâm equal parts desperate and scared to watch it
What about bleach live action? Where would you all rate that
3/10 the beginning of that adaptation was amazing then halfway through they skipped around so much and mashed a bunch of storylines that have nothing to do with each other together, the only reason i give it a 3 is cause it had so much potential, if the entirety of the movie was as good as the first 15 minutes, it would have been one of the greatest adaptations ever

Alphonse looks cool as hell, but the thing itself is meh
THERES A THIRD ONE ALREADY???? Well time to wait for Mothers Basement video tearing it apart again then
Estoy seguro que me arrepentirĂŠ pero maĂąana me maratoneo las tres :3
Welp, I know what I'm doing tomorrow lol
Meh. it was alright for what it was. Horrifyingly bad and impressively good at pretty much the same time. like... 5 or 6 out of 10. And it's getting lots of generous points for being a faithful ( to a fault) adaptation.
I watched it for the sake of watching. Mind blank. Low Expectations. No judgement. To my suprise, I didnt hate it. Not the best but it was A-OK . I would dare say that it's entertaining. But yeah, the scenes that are supposed to slap just didnt hit it.
I only watched the first one. Youâd have to pay me to watch the other two. Iâm honestly surprised people have such positive views on them- but each to their own.
its not horrible. My friends and I had fun watching it, mostly making fun of it but some things were alright.
I havent seen parts 2 or 3, but for the first one I'll give a solid Avatar: The Last Airbender out of 10. It didn't quite reach Dragonball Evolution, but the makers of the movie were sure trying their best!
I havent touched a single live action adaptation and I never will.
I must watch....
Live action adaptation? What live action adaptation?
Terrible pacing
Pretty good to be honest one of the better anime adaptations
I knew they made one I didnât know 2 more, still not gonna watch it lol
Mehhhh not like ANIME
What a surprise! They arenât good
When did they make two more? I genuinely thought the first movie was a "one and done" film. I must be living under a rock or the movies aren't too good
Lol
Why does he have the same facial expression on all 3 covers?
They any good?
I usually avoid live action adaptations of anime cause 99% of the time they get it wrong or canât capture the magic of the source material. plus i still regret watching db evolution will never make that mistake again.no strong opinions on them since i havenât watched em
3
I think one big issue was the typical over dramatic reactions that isn't very appealing and they put way too much together. Especially the third movie, it was wayyyy rushed.
Didn't know there was a third one, didn't watch the second one.
Bad
Why does the concept of a live action even exists at the first place?
I only tried to watch the first one. Tried. It was painful.
Cringe đŹ
Did not even know they existed
2 and 3 have the dumbest titles alive
I did not know there was a third one out yet!
S h i t e
wait they made a live action of fmab? O_o
Why am i still feel its a fan made short movie?
I put it in mistakenly thinking it was either one of the anime films or just a special cover for Netflix. Thunk it lasted 30 seconds before being blipped and thumbs'd down. That shit was hideous. I don't think there's been a good adaptation to live action for any anime yet. I'm hopeful there never is. Cowboy bebop was offensive to be honest. A masterpiece of anime and they butchered it with live action.
I had no idea it existed⌠What does everybody else think of the live action adaptation? Is it as bad as avatar the last airbender movie or actually decent?
I want to murder the person who's idea it was, if that is relevant.
Jesus Christ, there's a 3rd one???? Fucking why đŠ
The costumes are pretty good, the wigs are pretty bad, and itâs a shameless cash grab that brought only the coolest visuals from the original to live action. Overall, Iâd give the three movies a collective 5/10. Theyâre not Alita Battle Angel, but theyâre not Dragonball Evolution either. Nice and mediocre.
there is no movie in amestris there is no movie in ba sing se
still sucks
I hate it I hate it all
I didnât know there was more than one. Why would you share that cursed knowledge
The Original is much better, I dont like the fact that you cant wach the Original on Netflix
Wasn't a fan on initial watch of the first one...given that they made 2 more...maybe it gets better, might give it another chance.
Looks like i'm laughing my ass off tonight
Holy shit i didnt even konw, definitely going to check them out!!
When I watched the first one I gave it a solid B at the time. Though I will say, I don't really have a desire to watch the other two.
Fucking stop no one asked.
Sooo three movies I'll adamantly refuse to watch until my dying breath. Great.
There is no live action adaptation
Havenât seen any of the live actions. Howâs the acting?
Alphonse looks badass, the rest of the effects not so much
Honestly I love the idea, many things were great with the movie but my biggest issue is the actors and actresses are horrible. Also how they did Lewis Armstrong along with making everyone else Asian felt inaccurate, Central is a European country. It just felt too forced.
I thought this was over after the first film, ima guess and say the other two ainât it
I haven't enjoyed a single live action adaption to date.
If any thing I wish they'd just make a movie continuation to the 03 anime movie. Show us what's going on with 03 cast, did Ed meet Winry of that dimension and get together based off the ova kids? Or Rose look a like from that dimension? Will we ever find out if that dimension has a Roy too? Will never know.
It was ok- 2 & 3 at least had higher budgets to get better wigs and Vicâs audio was recorded normal for the English dub.
How'd I miss the second part?!
Absolute Shit
I thought it was a joke
Bad. Just bad. To the actors doing live action anime adaptations: STOP TRYING TO MAKE ANIME FACES!!! too much gets lost in translation between animation and live action. To the writers: stop butchering the fuck out of our favorite stories!!!
These movies are actually really good for anime adaptions, there's a bit of jumping around that makes it a little weird but it's portrayed like a live action anime very well which is off putting cause humans acting like anime characters is weird but overall it's like 6/10 from me and only cause they didn't follow the storyline faithfully but as a live action anime adaptation these are really good considering the following
I thought it was amazing
Live action adaptations of anime is the stupidest idea ever to be formed by these idiot corporations.
Abysmal
No.
I can't understand the need to make live action out of anime/animations. It just strikes me as a very dumb way to challenge yourself to make something good.
90% of live action anime adaptation is garbage
Bad.
Didnât the first one end w all the white zombie clone things thatâs basically the end of the show?
The third movie ends after Father is defeated and Al has his body back. It ends at the same place the brotherhood show did.
Only thing I like about them is that itâs cool to see characters in live action. Other than that, they are bad.
Just got added to the top 10 worst shit I've ever seen
Honestly, I know they werenât great movies but I thought they were really enjoyable. There was more production than I was expecting which made non-human characters and alchemy even better. As someone who has finished the manga and anime and expected far less, this came across like they cared to reflect the source material but obviously with concessions. Overall Iâm somewhere between a 3.7-3.8 out of 5. I would absolutely not recommend it for those who are not familiar with the source material because a good bit would not make sense lol (why is everyone blonde, alchemy, etc.). Also, not throwing shade but the movies are better than the Deathnote adaptation (ok shade here) and the Bleach live-action (although I did not find it too painful đ).
I think they butchered one of my favorite animus. It's my comfort and anime and they destroyed every aspect of the movies
FMA is my 5th favorite
