[Dr Kain]

I found this movie to be extremely subpar and was extremely disappointed with it. First off, the characters of this movie were so lackluster. I could not give a damn what happened to Geki and would have rather he died. His character was way too whiny, far too weak, and unlikable. Not to mention his acting could make Shia Lebeouf look good. Then you had Shelly, who has to have the most ridiculous costume I have seen from a Toku show in a long time. I don't care if that is how the partners looked in the 80s, this is 2013, it is time to keep some things in the time period they came from. Next was how pointless Shaider and Sharivan were. They served absolutely nothing to the story and we did not even get to watch them actually fight.

Next up, the plot. The Japanese need to learn how to write some new ****ing plot twists!! I am sick to death of this whole, "We think he is dead but he is really the villain" plot. It is bull**** and something the Japanese do way too much these days. That plot is exactly why Fullmetal Alchemist The Sacred Stars of Milos is nothing but utter ****! They do it in every freaking thing whether it be movies, anime, toku, or video games and I am tired of it. They need to either have their writers start reading books or get new writers. The moment I saw Geki and Touya walking in the space suits that one of them was going to "die" and become the villain of the movie, just because it was that predictable.

Third, the CGI in this movie was down right awful, like 1998 Playstation awful. I know Toei doesn't have the budget of a Hollywood movie, but they could have at least made it look like they were trying. And what was up with the armada of enemy ships that just appeared out of nowhere? It seemed forced in and out of the blue. When did the enemy have those ships?

On the positive side, every scene with the original Gavan was excellent. In fact, he vastly over shadowed Geki, making Geki entirely useless. What was the point of Geki? The movie would have been perfectly fine with just Gavan. He outshined Geki on every level. I want a new movie with him and just him, not Geki.

Also, the stuff in the Makaa Space were excellent and great. I loved how well done that was and wished it had been longer. In fact, I wished they had actually fought in there instead of just running away from battle the entire time.

Overall, this movie was bad, Super Hero Taisen levels of bad, maybe even worse. They took what should have been an incredible movie and wasted it on pointless boring banter of information we did not need to know, on what we did not care about, and what we figured out in the first two minutes of the movie. I give this movie a 2/5 and that 2 is only because of the original Gavan. While I am glad to have seen it, it is definitely not a movie I can see myself ever revisiting. Next time, they should just do a 13 episode series instead because that is what this felt like. Thirteen episodes crammed into a 90 minute plot.
