absolutely loved it. watched it with my best friends on her big screen TV. OMG! the beginning was HILARIOUS, with Al, Ed, and (am i saying this right?) Hauskeson (sp?) HAHAHA! great action, and cute flashback. i think they developed Alphonse's character really well, for the time that they had him in the movie. one of my favorite parts of the movie (not talking about favorite scenes) was watching and finding all the characters in our world that were 'twins' of the ones in Amestris (or Lior, etc.). Hughes had a totally different attitude, but still seemed the same ol' Hughes ("nice and insane..." ;)) we could tell that from the beginning (sort of) or rather when we first met him, and the beer hall gang (thats what I'm calling them) were talking about paying their taxes in gold and Noa and Ed walk up. Hughes reaction in both worlds is undoubtedly throwing his arm around Ed (rather roughly), but his overall reaction went in a different direction. I was absolutely heart-broken when i first saw Mustang like that. i almost cried, it was so depressing. but when he came back near the end and the beginning of, may i say it, THE MOST AWESOME ACTION SEQUENCE OF ALL TIME, AND IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE, i nearly jumped for joy. Havocs reaction was priceless. 'he sure gives a lot of orders for an enlisted man...' "lieutenants Havoc and Breda!" 'SIR!' hehe. too funny. Havocs always been hilarious like that. and Riza's shot between the grille of the helmet...WA-W00T! GO HAWKEYE! my goodness, that was frickin awesome! Armstong was painfully enjoyable as usual, Al in Amestris was beyond cute, i was surprised to see Winry wearing her hair like Riza's, and was a little confused at first, but then i got used to it. i liked Wrath in this movie, because it seemed like he could possibly have a soul, and i was actually very sad when he died. the end was more than amazing - it leaves you aching for more in all the right ways. personally, when the credits started rolling and the song came on and the first thing i said was 'ok, we watched the first third, lets go download the rest of the episode!' ( i had watched all the episodes on youtube) and of course, my friends, being more practical than me, reassured me it was over. i was devastated there wasn't more. but the very end with lust and scar *giggle* PRICELESS! the looks on Ed and Al's faces! i don't think ill ever forget that! definitely a ten out of ten! great action, great plot, GREAT MOVIE! if you liked the episodes, you'll LOVE the movie!
