That being said, there are some good things that saved the film. The writing is really weak because it had bits of the manga and place them out of order in a two hour and fourteen minute length, which results in uneven pacing that drags too long and because of that, the character development ends up lacking in comparison. It had a decent start with an accurate depiction of the younger Edward and Alphonse using alchemy to try and bring their mother back, but the rest of the film suffers from some of the biggest problems. Not to mention the special effects on the Mannequin soldiers are really poor along with the other effects including the Homunculus. If the producers of the film ever make a sequel, they better bring them together.

the movie didn't include key characters that contributed to the story including Scar, Armstrong, Izumi, and Fuhrer Bradley. I'm not going to spoil the story, but I will say this. Those who read the manga and watched the anime might be disappointed. It's not as poor or terrible as Death Note, Dragonball Evolution, and The Last Airbender, but it lacked something that made both the manga and anime much more complex. And sadly, it ended up being a disappointment. Then, when it arrived on Netflix, my brother and I watched it. So, when a live-action film adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist was being made, I was really excited, hoping it wouldn't end being like Death Note (a USA live-action adaptation back in 2017 which disrespected the source material fans loved). Nonetheless, I loved both of those shows and are now my favorites of all time. It deals with deeper themes including the true meaning of family, and the difference between life and death. Their situations make you relate to them during their adventures, but not only that. When I watched the 2003 anime and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood with my brother, I was surprised at how beautifully written the story was and how compelling the characters and their motivations where. A few years later, Edward becomes a State Alchemist working for the government to find him and Alphonse find the Philosopher's Stone, an artifact that would help them regain their bodies while performing human transmutation without a circle while discovering the truths about their world governed by the law of Equivalent Exchange, the stone itself, alchemy, their family, and evil forces using alchemy for sinister purposes. Alphonse loses his body and has his soul transferred to a suit of armor while Edward loses his leg and arm. A couple of years ago, my brother showed me an anime that revolves around two brothers Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric trying to use alchemy to get their mother by using an alchemical ritual only to end up with disastrous results.
