The original Yu-Gi-Oh! was one of my favourite childhood shows. Because of that, I continued watching it as is went on to GX an 5D's. So when I first found out about this movie I was really excited. My friends and I were looking forward to seeing Yugi, Jaden and Yusei team up against the bad guy. But when I finally saw it, I was pretty disappointed.
First, the movie was way too short. It basically dove directly into Yusei chasing the bad guy and quickly teaming up with Jaden and Yugi, and then the big duel of the film. The movie should have been 80 to 90 minutes. That way the story would have had time for development, and the characters from the three generations would have spent more time together. Before I watched the movie, these were the two things I expected the most, so I ended up feeling let down.
Second, the duel against the villain was also too short. You would think that a duel with the three protagonists teamed up would be just long enough for people to enjoy, but it wasn't. It should have been a fair amount of turns, like when Yugi and Kaiba teamed up against Dartz in the orginal Yu-Gi-Oh!. That way we would have seen a lot more famous cards we remember from our childhood.
So for those two reasons, I wouldn't recommend this movie.
