Fullmetal Alchemist The Sacred Star Of Milos Worth Watching
Okay, let's talk Fullmetal Alchemist. We all love the Elric brothers, right? But what about that movie, The Sacred Star of Milos? People seem to have opinions. I'm here to say something… maybe a little controversial.
Is Milos Worth the Watch?
Honestly? I think it is. I know, I know. It's not Brotherhood. It's not the original series. But hear me out!
A Standalone Adventure
It's a fun, self-contained story. You don't need to have every single detail of Fullmetal Alchemist's lore memorized. Think of it as a cool side quest.
Must Read
We get new characters! Julia Crichton is pretty awesome, even if she's a bit mysterious at first. And her brother, oh boy... he has got some issues!
The Animation is Great!
The fight scenes? Top-notch. Bones really flexed their animation muscles here. Explosions? Alchemy? Check and check!
Plus, it's visually different from the series. Which, for me, is a good thing. It's a nice change of scenery from Central City.
Okay, It's Not Perfect...
Let's be real, the plot can be a little... convoluted. Some bits require some serious suspension of disbelief. You know, that willing ignorance when watching certain things, when you decide "hey, lets just go along with it."
The pacing can be a bit wonky too. At least it’s trying! Sometimes it feels like they’re trying to cram too much into a movie format.
But Here’s the Thing
It's still Fullmetal Alchemist. It still has that heart. The themes of sacrifice, family, and fighting for what's right are all there.
Sure, it might not be as deep as the main series. But it's a fun ride. It delivers some pretty cool action, and has a decent story. It is also a good time.
Unpopular Opinion Time?
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I actually enjoyed the new alchemy style. The Milos alchemy felt unique and refreshing. It added another layer to the already rich alchemy lore of the series.
And the villain? He's not the best villain in the Fullmetal Alchemist universe, definitely not Father! But he’s got some interesting motivations. There’s a touch of tragedy there too.
Don't Let the Haters Get You Down
So, should you watch The Sacred Star of Milos? If you're a die-hard Fullmetal Alchemist fan, absolutely. Go in with an open mind.
Don't expect it to be the best thing ever. Just enjoy it for what it is: a fun, action-packed side story with some great animation.
Give it a try, what do you have to lose? You might just be surprised. You might even, dare I say, like it!
Who am I kidding? You'll probably hate it. But hey, at least you can say you watched it!
Besides, even a mediocre Fullmetal Alchemist movie is better than no Fullmetal Alchemist at all. Right?
So go ahead, watch The Sacred Star of Milos. Embrace the unpopular opinion. You might just find yourself enjoying it, just like me. And if you don't? Well, at least you can say you gave it a shot.
