Lord Enigma Wrote:Nah... With the gates sealed at the end of the movie, I find it hard to imagine what they might show supposing another FMA movie were to come out. After all, Full Metal Alchemist without the alchemy makes no sense whatsoever...Actually, they never actually show you the closing of the gate. Ed and Al just said they would do all they can to close it from our end. But yeah, the fact that it has entered our world has limited them greatly in what they can do.
darktruth Wrote:Great movie which you don't really need to watch the entire TV series to understand (I've only seen the episodes on the DVD from 3 limited edition tins I bought lol) though Lynk says watching it will make you enjoy the film even more lol. I felt the ending was kinda bittersweet, especially for Winry since she'll never see Al & Ed anymore despite the two brothers finally being able to reunite. Also I felt that Noah's character wasn't explained very well about her knowledge of the alchemy world since she was on the real world and there really wasn't any information to how she came about it.Yeah, I liked how not ever end was tied neatly with a happy little bow. Also, Noah knew about the Alchemy world through Ed, everything she knows she took from Ed's memories... Remember? XD
Quote:For some reason, I felt Eckhart (the female villain from the reality side if I recall correctly) was kinda like Lust XD, maybe it was just the english dub voice actress that sounded like the one who did Lust (or maybe it was the same one?). Music-wise, I enjoyed the soundtrack overall as they depict the feel and state of Germany was in at the time. There was also the Gypsy song "Let's Dance" sung in the early part of the film that I liked for some reason XD, kinda dancy feel to it, and then there's the ending song "Lost Heaven" by L'arc-en-ciel. I haven't heard much of their music and I'm not usually into their genre but that track sounded like a great way to end the film with the credits rolling. It's kinda disappointing that it doesn't appear on the movie soundtrack though which I'll be getting soon, and I don't wanna buy their album "Wild Flower" just for that track (I guess there's always the net XD).Lust was in it but didn't talk. She appeared at the very end with Scar on the real world side, and like I said before, Eckhart was played by Kelly Manison. And yeah, I love the soundtrack music, Kelas, Lost Heaven and Link. Btw, Lost Heaven and Link appears on the opening/ending single for the movie.

I personally thought that her laugh made it sound like she was having orgasm. "I'm covered in black shit! HA HA HA HA!" XDI loved the laugh she did when she took her first strike at Ed. It was done so damn well XD (The English version) Kelly Manison rocks! It's the laugh they used in the trailer, which btw, I love watching cause it's done so well. I like how the laugh matches up with the tempo of the music and the way they just cut it in XD lol
Scar da Kookee Wrote:whats with envy? did he lose his/it's ability to transform altogether?Envy turned into a Dragon when he went through the gate and when he appeared out the other side he lost his powers and stayed a Dragon.
and note how its convienant how the one body of armour that alphonse possesses is the same type that he was soul bounded to :P (you know that was only for the fans )
And I loved that scene when Al is fighting along side "his" armour I also love the scene when the armour with Al's piece of soul in it ends up on the other side of the gate and meets up with Ed XD That was such a damn good moment.
Falcon_06 Wrote:Yeah, I also didn't get why Envy turned into a dragon. Plus, what happened to Envy at the end of the movie? I didn't catch that part...Hoenheim used Envy as transmutation material to open a permanent gate for Ed to use to cross back to his world.
