mikitoloco Well, if I wanted to watch the same story as the original, but now in 3D, I could just play the PS3 game. I loved it! And I grew up with Saint Seiya on the 90's. What I like the most is that its original, non repetitive, and the effects are great. People who criticize the movie need to open their minds a bit and understand that when you bring new versions of an anime or movies you need to change stuff around, otherwise it would be boring and predictable. I love the original script, don't get me wrong, but this movie shows a "what if" the original was little different, like actually make a gild saint a girl like Milo. I believe it looks more real, and come on! ya'll already grown up! Don't expect to be impressed with stuff that you saw when you were 10 o 15. Let things change a little bit and appreciate the art and animation that new generations are bringing. Its like watching an extra ending! Yes, it lack depth, but what did you expect in 90 minutes? At least shows the attraction between Seiya and Saori, and full hatred from Saga. The rest could be explained in some other future adaptations. Keep an open mind peeps, and enjoy this movie as if you have never have watched Saint Seiya before.

edkwong317 **SPOILERS AHEAD**I was so excited for this movie when it was first announced. I went to the website daily to find out what the next Gold Saint would look like and even though some of the renditions were disappointing, I was still very excited. Then the trailers came and little by little, I started to wonder what this movie was going to encompass. There were many scenes I was familiar with and others I had no idea where they had came from. Still, I wanted to be optimistic. When I was finally able to sit down and watch the movie, every second of the movie was more excruciating than the last. This movie was just as bad if not worse than The Last Airbender.First, there's the characters. Pretty much no one is given any kind of character development or background aside from Saori Kido and that was half-assed at best. Some characters even got a complete sex change like Milo. Not that I'm sexist, but there was no ambiguity with Milo's gender yet somehow he has since became a woman? Then came Deathmask. This had to be a joke. Deathmask was a sadistic murderer who killed simply because he could. In the movie, he becomes a singing baboon and dances around like he was on Broadway. Lastly, Shura doesn't die! Not that I wanted him to because I always did like character but he was killed in the original fight yet in this movie, he is alive. What?! Lastly, Pisces gets the worse death, he gets about 30 seconds of screen time and then gets thrown out of a building and the other Saints just say 'It's Aphrodite, he's dead." End scene.Next is the story, for a story arc with so much content, how they came up with such a ridiculous rendition is beyond me. I understand that not everything can fit in, but when you gloss over the most important details and then completely change the world this story lives in, it just makes no sense because the changes weren't necessary/crucial to the story at all. For example, Saori was found in Greece, in the movie it was changed to the Himalayas. Sanctuary is hidden within Greece but in the movie, Sanctuary is located in the clouds that is only accessible with cloth dog tags? WHAT?! The ending scene was also just as mind boggling. Saga creates some kind of giant and Seiya wins by shooting an arrow from the Sagittarius cloth but he's not wearing it normally, the cloth is still in it's minotaur form.All in all, the visuals of this film were great but that didn't save it from the writing catastrophe it is.

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

tsubasaj_2 SPOILER ALERT!!!!!The only highlights of this movie are the animation, the action scenes and music. The rest is a tower of poop. Seiya 's personality is misplaced in each of this film scenes. It's really uncomfortable to see each of his interventions.The script doesn't exist at all, there is no continuity and the characters are too plane. This movie has some of the cheesiest and full of clichés dialogs that i saw in a long time (most of them coming from Athena). I understand that it's a movie where you have to summarize and present the story looking for new generations, but there is no point in having that final scene between Saga and Athena because during the film there is not even a little suggestion about Saga having two personalities. I believe that Death Mask's musical number is a parody for villains in Disney movies, but felt out of place. I mean, in the original story Death Mask it's a psychopath murderer who loves too collect his victims faces.The final battle, the largest turd of this really forgettable movie, there is a bunch of Gold Saints fighting a f*****g rock monster!!! Even the post credits scene doesn't worth it. It doesn't leave you anything.This happens every time Kurumada has direct access to the project.I repeat, has a great animation and an very good soundtrack composed by Yoshihiro Ike (not even close to the ones composed for the anime by Seiji Yokoyama).My score 4/10
