I wasn't expecting anything good out of a Yu-Gi-Oh film especially one that has a generic at ''The movie'' title and a villain who never popped up in the show before and is only here for the one cinematic feature.
But really it's a lot of fun.
There's this whole silly gimmick involving a glass pyramid which has a confrontation with Yu-Gi-Oh millennium puzzle and the duels are actually fun to watch.
I'm sure they're not accurate at all with how you actually play the game but then when is the Yu-Gi-Oh cartoon ever been accurate with the game.
Also this is a Kaiba movie.
I'm pretty sure he gets more screen time than any other character individually and he definitely gets the most duelling time.
And he's kicking ass too.
He beats Pegasus, more or less beats Yugi. He flies around in a ridiculous dragon themed jet.
With some awful early 2000s pop rock music to boot.
The actual movie villain is a overly muscular dude who apparently was vanished by the Pharaoh back in ancient Egypt days.
He has no connection to the main cartoon, so his presence doesn't really matter and his existence kind of screws up the earlier Yu-Gi-Oh continuity by implying that completing the millennium puzzle activates this other glass pyramid that brings upon a possible apocalypse.
How many souls are trapped inside ancient Egyptian items anyways? He's pretty much just a discount Bakura.
