Yugi's Return.
Watching Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light felt like returning to the original Yu-Gi-Oh! work and reuniting with characters who were part of a truly memorable era of the franchise. For me, there is a certain sense of nostalgia in seeing Yugi, Kaiba, and the rest of the cast back in action, especially after having followed their adventures in the original series. It is the kind of experience that, even without offering anything extraordinary, manages to evoke that feeling of returning to a universe we already know and love.
I liked the film's concept, primarily because it allowed these characters to return for a new adventure, complete with duels, supernatural threats, and the franchise's signature atmosphere. Overall, it was fun to follow the story and see familiar cha…

It was a decent movie, the start to the end of the story movie was maintained well. Have a lot of mixed opinions about this movie, a lot of parts in the film felt pretty blank. The battle was average, it could have been better. All the characters who appeared in the movie were given enough screen time. And we also saw a special card and it was so good. the villain in this movie was also not good as a character and didn't give justice to his villain part.
In this movie, I mainly liked the end part where that special card is revealed. It was fun to see that.

So this movie was so-so. Art and animation were good and fitting for a theatrical movie from 2004. For the plot, it's the revived-ancient-enemy-wanting-to-destroy-the-main-character type, and it's advised to watch this after watching the anime tv series Yu-gi-oh! Duel Monsters up until Battle City arc. As always, Kaiba's still obsessed of defeating Yugi, power of friendship, and of course, the hilarity of Pegasus' engrish. I also felt that the duel between Yami Yugi and Anubis was kinda underwhelming.
One thing to note of, the card layout in this movie mirrors that of the present day, real world yu-gi-oh cards, so I guess it's a plus.

I love this movie so much because it was part of my childhood, but putting affection aside (if that's possible), it had what it needed to have to be an acceptable anime movie: the story is the minimum the movie needed, the characters are worked in a basic cliche level (no one seems to evolve), the sound effects are okay but the movie OST was sooo different from the anime, with a different style and little clips during the movie that I did find cool but I think they don't fit the anime in general so well. The art was very good, the animation is good, the new monster designs are good. Despite the story and the villain being less than they could be, still today I find this movie quite enjoyable because the duels are fun, the monsters are cool and the characters are as dramatic as they can be.…

After finishing the actual series, I jumped right to Dark Side of Dimensions, kind of (completely) forgetting that there had once been another Yugioh movie, long ago... And boy did watching it again bring back memories. (Mostly of my parents' extremely unimpressed faces as we left the theater.) I think what struck me most... was that I basically got the same thing out of it watching it today as I did watching it over and over again as a kid, back when I didn't have the comprehensive understanding of the show it's based on that I do now. Which is not exactly a compliment, if you think about it...
This struck me as the sort of movie that you could watch in place of the series itself. Obviously, you wouldn't get the whole story, but you'd get enough. It does sum up the premise of the series…

In honor of the recently released Yugioh: Dark Side of Dimensions, Lawlmartz presents the long awaited:
Children's Card Games Saga Part III:
If Monsters Are Real, Does That Mean Card Games Are Real Life?
It's truly been far too long since I last watched Yugioh. Heck, the last installment of the Children's Card Games Saga was back in October, so it's high time to let loose on what was the most kick ass movie of 2004.
Never mind Kill Bill vol. 2, Harry Schlocker and the Prisoner of the Theater, Shrek 2, Spiderman 2 (the last watchable one before that series died), The Aviator, or Mean Girls... Yugioh Pyramid of Light RULED the summer of '04.
At least for this 10 year old, it did. I remember going to see this not once, but TWICE- collecting the promotional cards (still have them too),…

Time to take a look at something from the Yugioh franchise. I guess there's no better place to start than with the movie...well OK, the show is a much better place to start, but I haven't finished the show yet. Anyways, on to the review.
Story: The story isn't much more than what you'd expect from your typical episode of the show. There's a duel between two characters and someone possessing something or used to live in the ancient past is somehow involved. It's not terrible, but there is a concept of the story that seems like it would have played a bigger part, but got scraped during development. During most of the beginning of the movie after the title sequence, it looks like the movie's going to be about Yugi facing off against a bunch of duelists that believe they can take him down. Th…

This is one hell of a movie from my childhood. I adore this movie to death, and I've watched it a million times over the years, and still to this day I watch it often. It's really entertaining, the theming for the most part was pretty good, the monsters where awesome, and the sound and music blew my balls off, but compared to the actual series, it was kinda lame.
Though I will say that the movie's artwork and animation where all really well done, for the most part, it got really boring when Anubis stepped in, and in my opinion, even Kaiba's duel with yugi wasn't as fun as it was to watch in the series. Kaiba destroyed half of Yugi's deck with his Deck Destruction Virus, (Which is the most OP card I've ever seen, might I add) so there was no real chance for Yugi to show off his cards and s…

I liked this movie long ago, but it became painful to watch.
I love Yuugi-ou as much as the next person and Pegasus and Kaiba would be among my favorite characters - but here, even they are too bombastic and annoying. Yuugi is too preachy and dramatic (I watched the version with Dan Green, I don't think there is japanese one), Kaiba is too sadistic, Pegasus is too crazy and Anubis is a bad villain.
Action scenes with mummies and Jonouchi, Honda and Yuugi could've been fun, but they were in there too long. The same goes for a card game climax.

First of all I loved the « original » YuGiOh Duel Monsters.
When I heard about it going to the big screen I was psyched. The trailer was great.
But as for the movie, although I did “enjoy” it, I was disappointed. The movie was a duel between Kaiba and Yugi, we’ve seen this a million times, and Kaiba has lost a million times,
try something new.
There is an Evil (Anubis) living inside Yugi’s item (Millennium Puzzle) and he uses this duel as a means to escaping.
Small Yugi and his friends are sucked into the item were they come across zombie mummies.
So eventually the duel is interrupted by Anubis at the end of the movie and he duels Yugi. Yugi saves the world from darkness again, so un-original.
The good things about this movie: Pegasus has a cameo, new cards are introduced…well that’s…

when i heard that a yu-gi-oh movie was coming to theaters, i was happy to the point of demanding to see it. upon going to see it as a young child, i was amazed by it but now that i had re watched it as an older teen, i find there are flaws in it i was too excited to notice. since there is only one other review about this, i'll pitch in to help out. the story line, though not all together linked to the original show, was okay. i liked where they were trying to go and everything but it was sorta pulled out of the blue. the art i thought was really good, i loved the design on my old favorite childhood characters. they looked like themselves but in a more defined updated look. the sound was great since i loved the used of their original voices. the music too was alright, not quite to the stand…
