![]() It hits story beats fine but at the same time it feels like you have been watching this movie since the beginning of time when the 60 minute mark hits. The acting overall has a very 'teen flick' feel to it. Contrasting both of those is that a majority of the class is playing it VERY flat, so it makes any overacting stick out even more. They made Winry into basically an unnecessary character, there to exchange exposition in one of the numerous info dumps that happen throughout, which is a disservice to her character. It is clear that the creators of the film wanted the characters to have the same quirks as their anime counterparts, but in doing so they made some characters over-act so badly that it feels out of place. The acting is all over the place as well. It all has a bit of a feeling of a live-action stage play. The few real world locations used, such as the outside of a large house, stand in stark contrast to the rest of the "clean as a whistle" aesthetic that other locations have. That pretty much bleeds into every visual aspect of this film. No holes, no blood, no damage, nothing at all. Unfortunately, even when things happen which should impact these sets, such as Lust shooting her fingers out and impaling someone against the wall, there is nothing left behind. The sets and outfits are all a bit *too* perfect, as in they look like stage pieces as opposed to something in a real world. Everything is *HERE* but there is a lack of polish, as stated earlier, to the whole thing that will make you wish for someone to have gone over the movie for all the little details that mar this movie, so I'll start there. The acting ranged from terrible to good, as do the sets, outfits, and actors. And those who love FMA will also feel disappointed, but again not in any one thing. That isnt to say that those unfamiliar wont be confused, because they will be for sure! There's just too much lore to go over, and terminologies, for the movie to cover for the average audience viewer. If you want to see a very condensed FMA in real-life form, then here it is! As the flick condenses a huge manga and anime down into a very long feeling 2 hours, it does a commendable job hitting the key points and dropping the dead weight that isnt needed for the story. Nothing is so horrible that it jumps out at you, but also nothing so good that it elevates the film. The new live action version of the Fullmetal Alchemist story is set to debut December 1 of this year in Japan.This movie is quite the mixed bag which absolutely needed a bit more polish! I usually know where I want to start with a review but this one was hard. For more of Moonfox's work check out her Instagram here and Patreon here. Just a warning the photos featured in the slideshow below are a little NSFW. Toady we are going to look at cosplayer Katyuska Moonfox's version of the sexiest character from Fullmetal Alchemist, Lust. ![]() With the live action adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist coming out soon, we have been seeing more and more of the franchise's awesome characters in Cons around the world. With how recognizable characters are from the series, there have been a plethora of cosplays based off many of the various characters from the series. Enemies and allies – the corrupt military, the Homunculi, and foreign alchemists – will alter the Elric's course, but their purpose will remain unchanged and their bond unbreakable To restore what was lost, the brothers seek the Philosopher's Stone. Disregard for alchemy's laws ripped half of Ed Elric's limbs from his body and left Al's soul clinging to a suit of armor.
