So that was...odd.
I get why people have a problem with this movie, the silly plot points like
>Winry Lugging a suitcase full of auto-mail.
>Envy turning into a dragon
>That chick whose name I can't pronounse who goes "LOL Xenocide time"
>Noah's psychic powers
That stuff didn't really get to me, but did drag the story down.
I was OK with the ending.Prefferedd the one in the TV series becouse it left some ambiguity, but this one is not bad.
I can except that Al became a celebreated panzer commander of the LHAAS on the eastern front and that Ed joined the Falschimjager - sad he
died at Monte Casino though.
I think that the best summary for this is "wasted potential".
For me the big problem with the film is the time it is set - 1923.1936 would have fit better IMHO.
Hitler has risen to power and has begun a massive rearmament campaign.
Nazi scientists discover this giant obelisk somwhere in the desserts of egypt(like in Stargate) that turns out to be an alchemic circle.
Ed is just a novelist writing a fun little adventure serial about these two brothers and their world of magic and wonder.
Or he could be working at UFFA with Fritz Lang
The nazis discovering Amestris and decide it's a perfect place to get raw material and untermensch for the Reich's warmachine.
>Stuka dive bombers over Central
>Stormtroopers with gas masks and flamethrowers everywhere.
In conclussion:After finally watching both series i'm still ot the fence.
They're both good shows with greats stories and characters, and they both go FULL RETARD at the end, but it was a different kind of retard.2003 tried to stick to its dark themes and it ended falling apart at the seams.
Brotherhood tried to one-up itself with every consecutive battle, that it simply degraded into "over 9000" fight-scenes culminating in an Deux Ex Machina ending that was such an asspull it left the director unable walk for a week.
Still enjoyed them both - different spins of the same story which had something for everybody.

Shit i forgot to somethig(Goddamn char. limit)
The beggining of the films sucks though.It would have been coll if it was just a story ed made up, mixing together both alchemy and real world science.Something like an omage to Indiannna Jones - to set the tone for the audience.
But no.Everything happened - even the bomb is braught at some point.
Oh and how could i forget the soundrtrack.Seriously the original series and the movie have some of the best music in all of anime
Both Bratia and Heidrich funeral song deserve to be in a hall of fame or something.

Just gorgeous

yeah I prefered 03's ending the most and feel it has the best moments. I love that scene at ep 50 where Al sees hughes and waves to him.
Then the second half falls apart.
But yeah, the movie wasnt very good but did have great music
>>
Yeah we know
Brotherhood is better too
One of my favorite animes of all-time

I hated 03s ending in comparison to Brotherhood
Condemning Al and Ed to get forcibly conscripted into the German army and die freezing, alone, and miserable on the Eastern Front, or even worse, in a Soviet gulag after being tortured repeatedly, was not an ending I found enjoyable
Yeah not all anime'a should have a happy ending, but Ed and Al don't deserve the pure hell of the Eastern Front or a Soviet Gulag
