No stars

F

Everything Else Was Just Practice!

After a period of unemployment, I have been desperate to see a movie in a theatre...any theatre...any movie. Just somebody...please take me to a movie. Be careful what you ask for...you just might get it. I was offered the chance to tag along to this children's film...and, being as I enjoyed the kids with whom I would see the film I figured...Why not?

This film is rivaled only by Pokemon in its sheer stupidity. It is a mind-numbing, brain squashing exercise in cinematic futility without semblance of a script, a plot, a cinematic nugget anywhere. You would have to be a diehard Yu-Gi-Oh fan to go anywhere near this film...the children that I was with at this film all said "that sucked." Direct quote. The speech here is remarkably stilted almost to the point of being undecipherable...there is absolutely no way anyone not familiar with this game already could follow this film. Prior knowledge is vital, but still seems pointless.

There is only one reason that this film was made...it's a huge, remarkably crass advertisement for the game...it's marketing, marketing, marketing...If you are a parent, I would call Child Protection on you for taking a child to this film. Among the worst ever made. Period.
