Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie
Review
What's up to all of those
Yu-Gi-Oh! fans and all of my trusty Shadowholics? In case you haven't
noticed, yes this is Matthew "The Shadow" Sita from the Tourney Reports.
I've decided to take a little break from the whole tourney writing business for
about a month and now, I feel like doing a review on the new movie, Yu-Gi-Oh!
The Movie which I just saw on August, Friday the 13th. Here's what
happened:
It was around 11:50 am when I went
into The Shadow's "home," Springfield Mall, when I decided that I should see the
new movie. As soon as I went up the escalator, there was already a long
line for the movie. There were people that I knew from the past that
wouldn't let me cut, but I won't say any names (coughNathencough, coughSamcough,
coughTylercough). Anyway, around 12:20 pm, I was able to FINALLY get my
movie ticket, and along with it, a gold "booster pack." Unfortunately,
there was only 1 card in there, but it was Blue Eyes Shining Dragon. Once
I went inside, I sat down around the near front area. The previews were
very boring, and I can see that Hollywood is running out of fresh ideas
(especially if one of the movies is known to have talking babies that sound like
adults). After the previews, the feature presentation finally came.
It all started with the whole Shadow Games entrance where by the sound of it,
Yami, is talking about the great evil and how the Pharaoh was able to seal up
the monsters, etc. After that, it showed how Yugi was able to solve the
Millennium Puzzle, and after he solved it, all of a sudden a whole bunch of Duel
Monsters came out of nowhere (even a VERY twisted Kuriboh that actually had a
mouth), and then Yami came out to banish the monsters. After that, the
movie started about how Yugi has been World Champion for 3 years (don't ask me
how) and now every duelist in Domino City is now after Yugi since now he has all
3 God cards (this was made AFTER Battle City). After that, Joey decided to
bodyguard Yugi and anyone that was able to beat Joey can face Yugi. The
first duel was probably one of the funniest duels EVER, for it only showed the
one turn. This one person who looks like he could be from the mafia
summons Injection Fairy Lily and for the first time (maybe I'm wrong), Injection
actually talked, but it was a little disturbing. Joey didn't even get a
chance to have his turn then all of a sudden, Injection chases him around and
then Lily sticks that giant needle she has and pokes Joey in the rear. I'm
no physical expert, but after a shot like THAT, I would be smarting for a couple
of...months. Anyway, that's just a small taste of the movie. By the
way, Pegasus DOES come back and he STILL has his Toon deck, but now he has both
Toon Gemini Elf AND Toon Dark Magician Girl (both of them being from the
Japanese artwork). Overall, out of a 5 Star Ranking, 0 being as Comic Book
Guy would say "Worst Movie EVER!" and a 5 being you better see this or else my
shadow minions will hurt you, I'd give this movie 4 Stars. It is a very
good movie, but just let the people who know about the game watch it. If

Shadow." See Ya!
