    A really bad movie.
  • September 4, 2006
    Why 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)apocalypse from an ancient tormentor reaches beyond the levels of stupid witnessed in Poke'Mon. Speaking of this antagonist there is something overly ridiculous about him in this movie - he is in the last 5 - 10 minutes of the film, then dies. Even for children this is absolute nonsense and while I may be harsh towards a childrens movie such as this I am seeing something that is catering with it's wacky hairdoes and farout action. This is just bull, there is better children's entertainment out there.

    the series is way better then the movie. believe me. i mean, i was practically laughing at one part at the end where yugi had to throw that knife or blade (whatever it is) to the eye? sheesh. i thought the movie would be better then the series, but i guess not. even though i have the movie, i don't watch it dat much anymore. The movie wasn't dat great.
