![]() ![]() The movie does succeed in translating some great set pieces from the anime into this medium.

When every line of dialogue is making you wince, there’s not much you can do about it except say that it is cringe-worthy. Cheesy isn’t a word that should be used in a review, but the minds behind this movie have left me no choice. The same dialogue that works in the setting of an anime or a manga looks wooden and shoddy in a movie, especially when the delivery is as wooden as this. The dialogue also did the performances in Fullmetal Alchemist The Revenge Of Scar no favours. 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. Enough can be made about how accurate these characters were to their anime counterparts, but the performances here were sub-par at best. The biggest flaw in this movie is one that has been levied at Japanese live-action movies for a while now- the acting.

There isn’t much time for motivations to become clear and backstories to be sorted out. Events flew so fast that even an audience that didn’t know anything about the franchise before watching this would be confounded by the rapidity of it. How could you ever hope to do what it did in over a year in three movies worth of time? You couldn’t without drastically messing up the pacing of the movies. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is sixty-four episodes worth of sheer perfection. It is highly regarded because it takes time to build even the more minute elements of its story to take it to a beautiful finale that perfectly ties everything together. However, to do that, we are going to have to reference the original once again.

Either way you look at it, it is a lose-lose situation from the marketing perspective, making its existence even more perplexing. If this is for people unfamiliar with the series altogether, this is probably the worst way to experience this good of a story. Who is this for? 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. The thought process behind making this adaptation baffles me, especially after the first one was derided. That, and a few characterisations being the same, are the only saving graces of this otherwise horrendous experience. This movie mostly adapts the war of Ishtval portion of the story with a few shifts to the timeline to make it all make sense in the grand scheme of things, especially considering how bad the first movie messed up the timeline of the show. The major anti-war sentiments, alongside the major themes of revenge and forgiveness, were majorly kept intact in this adaptation. If there’s one good thing to be said about this movie over the last one, it is that they didn’t change that much from the original this time around. 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. It is so good that despite their best efforts, the bright minds behind this horrible idea couldn’t manage to ruin it completely. – Fullmetal Alchemist Final Chapter – The Avenger Scar Review does not contain any spoilers – Fullmetal Alchemist The Revenge Of Scar Review- Why, God?
