ineedanaccountpls I think this new take on the Saint Seiya franchise is not bad, while it felt rushed on the last 30 minutes, I think it was solid enough.The designs, the CGI and the personalities were great. I was gladly surprised to see Aldebaran looking so bad ass, the relationship between the bronze saints were fun and a reminder of the personalities they had on the first season (while exaggerating some qualities for comedy) and the fights were eye-candy. Sadly I feel like it doesn't deliver so well for some fans because of all the changes to the original story (specially the end that felt rushed) but considering this is trying to get the whole anime season in one movie I think it was necessary and expected. Gotta be clear that that doesn't justify the lack of screen time from some fan favorites like Ikki who never got his time to shine in this movie while it had a really important role in the original plot, I think he was the biggest disappointment and probably one of reasons people were so harsh on this movie.Also I think it was fresh to see some new ideas and some changes like the realization from the golden saints that there was something wrong happening, that the bronze saints may have been right and instead of waiting on their places they tried to actually do something to help.Overall I was entertained, while the big fan in me was disappointed because I wanted to see so much more, after talking about it with my friends (who also left the theaters a bit disappointed) I realized that I actually really appreciate this film from what it is and while it's not perfect, it's a fun time and a good experience overall.

cblackfire After watching this movie I am disappointed. A recommendation for different kind of watchers:If you are a Saint Seiya anime fan, please spare yourself from a painful time watching this movie. If you are not a fan, you might just survive the experience. The movie will just throw random stuff at you consistently during the 93 minutes it lasts. If you like cool CG and animation, by all means watch it. Kudos to all the CG and technical staff that participated in the making, their work is simply impressive. If there would have been a script on par with the technical work, this could have been a really good movie.

Meliyanto Chen **Spoiler Warning** Pros: Good CG. Neutral Opinion: The Cloth Box and Mask. Cons: 1) Poor Script: 90 min run time isn't enough to cover the entire arc, well that's forgivable, BUT there are unnecessary scene for about 10-20 mins, such as Deathmask singing(really hate this scene). 2) Wrong personality of the characters: Milo is woman while the real one in manga/anime is a man! Deathmask is eccentric and sadist, not a comedian! Seiya isn't that funny kind of guy, he is about spirit and friendship, and loyalty, not a funny character. Ikki isn't as cool as in the Manga/Anime. 3) Shaka didn't fight Ikki??? 4) Almost every battle get cut, it only show how the bronze saint meet with gold saint, and then goes to another scene, and when we back to the fighting, it only show the bronze saint execute his final attack, lame! 5) Why they change the characters face? I've played Saint Seiya game, 3D graphic one, and the characters face is identical with the Manga/Anime, but in this movie they all have different face, a cuter one, LAME! 6) They don't have that dramatic moment!!! When Hyoga desperately having to fight his own master(Aquarius Camus) and it turned out that his master actually teach him something.. 7) Saori with short hair?? 8) Changed Script: My beloved battle: Aphrodite vs Shuun is changed.. (Saga killed Aphrodite).. TERRIBLE STUPID LAME!!! There is also no Shura Vs Shiryu (and Shiryu managed to make Shura realize his mistake and Shura give him Excalibur at the last minute of his life). That battle against that Giant Statue is lame and unnecessary. And this movie is about Bronze Saints, but why are the Gold Saints taking the spotlight? 9) The final battle is mehhh. Overall, it's a failed Manga/Anime adaptation. What a disappointment.

killy750 *SPOILER ALERT*I'm only gonna waste a few words to say what i have to about this movie.First of all, sure there is an incredible 3D animation but seriously do i have to give up to the anime i loved growing up with just for that?STORYLINE... bang, shot to the heart and stomped over... CHARACTERS...twisted into 9% funny, 90% bullshit and finally 1% true to the anime.Now i know this movie was meant for a new audience and with a twist of the original plot, but what i saw, seriously, they wrecked my world and not in a good way
