Thanks for the memories!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I think this new take on the Saint Seiya franchise is not bad, while it felt rushed on the last 30 minutes, I think it was solid enough.The designs, the CGI and the personalities were great. I was gladly surprised to see Aldebaran looking so bad ass, the relationship between the bronze saints were fun and a reminder of the personalities they had on the first season (while exaggerating some qualities for comedy) and the fights were eye-candy. Sadly I feel like it doesn't deliver so well for some fans because of all the changes to the original story (specially the end that felt rushed) but considering this is trying to get the whole anime season in one movie I think it was necessary and expected. Gotta be clear that that doesn't justify the lack of screen time from some fan favorites like Ikki who never got his time to shine in this movie while it had a really important role in the original plot, I think he was the biggest disappointment and probably one of reasons people were so harsh on this movie.Also I think it was fresh to see some new ideas and some changes like the realization from the golden saints that there was something wrong happening, that the bronze saints may have been right and instead of waiting on their places they tried to actually do something to help.Overall I was entertained, while the big fan in me was disappointed because I wanted to see so much more, after talking about it with my friends (who also left the theaters a bit disappointed) I realized that I actually really appreciate this film from what it is and while it's not perfect, it's a fun time and a good experience overall.

The producers should be totally ashamed. All beauty and values from the original saga has totally disappeared.The story is not good but I understand it's hard to concentrate all the Sanctuary story into one movie... But what about those stupid clothes ? WTF !!! All saints are looking so stupid, I couldn't believe what I have seen.I don't understand how they could buy the Saint Seiya license and how somebody could accept this.I advise to all fans to don't go to see it and above all to not waste their money for this stupid movie.

So i read some of the other reviews above and people saying this was rush or either saying the movie had no explanation at all is really annoying sometimes. For example if you are not a Saint Seiya fans then the new viewers don't know whats happening, i can see where that is coming from. You have to also compare it to Final Fantasy 7 advent children also. That movie doesn't explain what was also happening much in the story unless you already play the game from PS1. I never owned a PS1 so i never played FF7. Also matter to me was that the movie in FF7 AC was Kadaji saying, "mother". WHO THE HELL IS THIS MOTHER! I'm new to Final fantasy as people are new to Saint Seiya. This is a must watch movie for Saint Seiya fans!

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!The only highlights of this movie are the animation, the action scenes and music. The rest is a tower of poop. Seiya 's personality is misplaced in each of this film scenes. It's really uncomfortable to see each of his interventions.The script doesn't exist at all, there is no continuity and the characters are too plane. This movie has some of the cheesiest and full of clichés dialogs that i saw in a long time (most of them coming from Athena). I understand that it's a movie where you have to summarize and present the story looking for new generations, but there is no point in having that final scene between Saga and Athena because during the film there is not even a little suggestion about Saga having two personalities. I believe that Death Mask's musical number is a parody for villains in Disney movies, but felt out of place. I mean, in the original story Death Mask it's a psychopath murderer who loves too collect his victims faces.The final battle, the largest turd of this really forgettable movie, there is a bunch of Gold Saints fighting a f*****g rock monster!!! Even the post credits scene doesn't worth it. It doesn't leave you anything.This happens every time Kurumada has direct access to the project.I repeat, has a great animation and an very good soundtrack composed by Yoshihiro Ike (not even close to the ones composed for the anime by Seiji Yokoyama).My score 4/10
