Conservative fans might appreciate its craven faithfulness, but adaptation isn't much fun when it's just approximation, and Fullmetal Alchemist behaves less like cinema than cosplay on a cinema budget. Oct 30, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Characters come and go quickly, leaving a feeling that there is too much compression of the multi-episode story. Oct 26, 2017 | Full Review…

"Fullmetal Alchemist" is an impressive film to look at (minus the blond wigs), but unfortunately, in terms of narrative, characters, and adapting is a mediocre effort. Oct 27, 2019 | Full Review…

Key aspects of storytelling, character building, and presentation are thrown out the window, and the finished product is a frustrating 135 minutes that feels like Chinese water torture. Oct 23, 2019 | Rating: 1/10 | Full Review…

Just because the visuals are nice in Fullmetal Alchemist doesn't mean we can overlook the lame costume design, the strained acting, or the piss poor representation of a beloved anime and manga series. Sep 1, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Sori's version of 'Fullmetal Alchemist' dies from being forced to compress the original work in two hours, and from lacking personality and, most importantly, soul. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 26, 2019 | Full Review…

An ultra-condensed, very fast-moving yet also sluggish-feeling run-through of the major story points from the Manga and the two Anime series. Oct 31, 2018 | Rating: 1.5 | Full Review…

This film may be strong enough to create new Fullmetal Alchemist fans out of those who are unfamiliar with the source material, but it's not impressive enough for existing fans of the property to think that this is a home run, either. Feb 26, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

This couldn't have been an easy series to distill into one movie, but even so, the thinness of the plot doesn't do justice to the characters or the jaw-dropping visuals and design. Feb 26, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
