September 4, 2006Why have I seen this? Who knows, but the fact still remains that this is a bad film. I'm putting it into the context of children and their conceptions towards it and still I see only schlock. The concept of a game of cards deciding the fate of the world and ultimately saving the ... read more

October 5, 2008Is the best out of all of the Yu-Gi-Oh's. Funny expecially when Tristan say's "I don't want your mummy!" and when Kiba says "You're ganna attack me with a cream puff and an elf."

July 8, 2008Yet another Pokemo and Card Captors clone, Yu Gi Oh is one of the strangest movies ever made, for its totally nonsense story about a boy king who somehow can control these card monster things. In the movie, he battled the dreaded Anubis. Ooh. If you're 8, you might get it. Any ol... read more

January 16, 2008Well, the movie could have been better, but I absolutely LOVE the anime - both the original and GX. Characters that I like are... original: Pharoah, (Yami) Joey, and Bakura; GX: Jaden, Aster, Syrus, (I just can't help but like the annoying, wimpy side-kick) Chazz, (I know he's a ... read more

January 10, 2008If I was rating the English dub, it'd get 1/2 a star...if you like Yugioh, get the Japanese version. As with most anime, everything is superior. Although this movie was contracted by American companies, the Japanese version still has scenes the English one doesn't!!

October 26, 2007Well, it took forever just to get the main villain to arrive...And that was pretty sucky. Why did he hate the Pharaoh, anyway? They just threw in a villain to make the movie more interesting. And Anubis is the Lord of Mummification, not the Lord of the Dead! Inaccurate AND boring... read more

August 24, 2007Loved every second of it. Eventhough it didn't really give the time in the anime it was held, it still rocked! 5 stars in my book!

This cartoon based on the popular and complicated card game might as well be written in another language. Full Review

If your pulse quickens when you hear lines like, 'Not so fast! I still have two cards face down, and they'll bring down your life points to a measly 1000!', then Yu-Gi-Oh is the movie you've been wait... Full Review

Would be hilarious if it weren't so dreadfully cynical.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
From the endless product placement to its attempt to reel viewers in with free trading cards at the door, it all adds up to a 90-minute commercial. Full Review

Louise Kennedy, Boston Globe
Yu-Gi-Oh! is so flat as to make the card game on which it is based seem positively three-dimensional. Full Review
