IMO, it was...okay. My peeves: Not enough of everything. Barely enough Ed, not enough Al or Alfons, and waaaaay not enough of Roy or the military. Winry really got the shaft, both plot-wise and as far as screentime goes. The fights were way too short. Bad guy was a weakling, and Nazis? Really? I also didn't like the whole "other side of the Gate is our world" premise, but that started in the anime. Also, Al looks better with short hair. Also, dressing like your disappeared older brother is creepy.

Some stuff that was good in the movie: Fight scenes were still cool. Ed still kicks ass. Clothing, minus Winry's and Al's getups, was sexy hot, especially Ed. Most of the characters were done well, if underdeveloped.

All in all, a decent movie. I just didn't like the ending, and I pretty much figured I wouldn't after seeing what direction the anime took it in. Oh well.

Movie!Ed and his wardrobe change don't get enough love, as far as I'm concerned. <33

Call me shallow, but I also thought he looked good in the new wardrobe, and for the first time I actually liked the way he looked. Other than that I didn't feel much for the movie.

XD I still like his series character design, and I will always have love for the braid, but I really think he looks so much better in the movie (and with the ponytail). I guess part of it is because it makes him look older and more mature.

Yeah, I can understand that, really. Different strokes and all that. Honestly, it really could have been handled better and at least not quite so rushed. But I still squeed all over the place. >.>

Definitely. Ditto to what you all said. (Black and red is just a bit garish, IMO.)

And that arm gaiter? Sexy.

MMF, yes. It's amazing what a little piece of cloth and elastic can do. All he needs is a fedora and the picture'd be absolutely perfect.
