Wow, this movie was ridiculous and is cliche in fact that anubis is portrayed as evil, which he is not in mythology. This movie repeats the corniness of the show except worse. The movie also has no effect on the show. Still this movie is somewhat...

Awesome I just love Anime movies especially this one. It was awesome and I just love to watch animated duels. It was cool especially when got the free cards at the movie theater.

Good movie, but it left a lot to be desired. For instance, I think Blue Eyes Shining Dragon was a pretty bad gimmick to win audience members and was NOT a good duel monster to end the movie with. No, it would have been much better to see the god cards destroy Anubis. Alas, this movie was alright, but Littleuriboh's YGO the Abridged Movie said it all, Anubis took forever to appear (Who does he think he is, Venom?), he could have easily destroyed them earlier instead of wasting time with a tedius card game and, well, I won't question the show's logic. I've grown used to the concept of cards saving lives, no matter how stupid it sounds. All in all, it was a good attempt at a YGO movie, it just could have been better.

After the conclusion of the Battle City Tournament, deep below the sands of Egypt, an ancient evil has awakened. Anubis, who was defeated by Yugi's mysterious alter-ego the ancient Pharoah centuries ago, has resurfaced for revenge on the Pharoah. Weilding the power of the Eighth Millennium Item called the Pyramid of Light (an upside-down version of Yugi's Millennium Puzzle), Anubis is determined to destroy Yugi and take over the world.

A really good movie. It could have been a little better though. I only collect the cards nowadays. I really liked it in a way, but it wasn't all that interesting.

A good movie but could only be understood by a person who either plays the card game or watched the show or maybe both.

This movie was pretty good but mostly for children about 7-12. Maybe a little older. The plot of the movie wasn't half bad, but parts of the movie wer kinda confusing. The card play was good and the animation of the creature was good but maybe could have been a little better.

  The appeal of Yu-Gi-Oh! for kids who play the card game shouldn't be too much of a mystery -- at least to any adult who admits to tuning in to celebrity poker on TV.

  Too solemnly boring to entertain parents or older siblings - but, alas, too loud for a long nap - Yu-Gi-Oh! is basically a feature-length promotion for the trading cards.

  A vigorously cross-marketed product, with comics, collectable cards, games and a television series.

  No cuddly, funky "Pokemon" pocket monsters populate this pic; this game is for the big kids, rife with a ruthless tone, heightened violence and cold calculation. However, fans will put up with a dull tale to finally see their obsession on the bigscreen.

  Like the gods, the trading cards are capricious, with ever-changing rules and strategies so intricate that only Yu-Gi-Oh-ologists will fully enjoy this adventure.

  With its lifeless animation, characterless characters, and plotless plot, Yu-Gi-Oh! is so flat as to make the card game on which it is based seem positively three-dimensional.

  With no subtitles to explain what's going on in Yu-Gi- Oh!: The Movie, there's no reason for adults to come anywhere near it.

  There's nothing inspiring about Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie, unless you count the way it compels kids to continue to support the "Yu-Gi-Oh" franchise.

  The character designs are flat and derivative, the backgrounds crude and uninviting, and the movements jerky and minimal. It's a sad excuse for a movie, but then, it isn't really meant to be one. It's a commercial with a ticket price.

  Has the crass look and feel of a 90-minute infomercial.
