A Great CG, but A bad Anime/Manga Adaptation

**Spoiler Warning** Pros: Good CG. Neutral Opinion: The Cloth Box and Mask. Cons: 1) Poor Script: 90 min run time isn't enough to cover the entire arc, well that's forgivable, BUT there are unnecessary scene for about 10-20 mins, such as Deathmask singing(really hate this scene). 2) Wrong personality of the characters: Milo is woman while the real one in manga/anime is a man! Deathmask is eccentric and sadist, not a comedian! Seiya isn't that funny kind of guy, he is about spirit and friendship, and loyalty, not a funny character. Ikki isn't as cool as in the Manga/Anime. 3) Shaka didn't fight Ikki??? 4) Almost every battle get cut, it only show how the bronze saint meet with gold saint, and then goes to another scene, and when we back to the fighting, it only show the bronze saint execute his final attack, lame! 5) Why they change the characters face? I've played Saint Seiya game, 3D graphic one, and the characters face is identical with the Manga/Anime, but in this movie they all have different face, a cuter one, LAME! 6) They don't have that dramatic moment!!! When Hyoga desperately having to fight his own master(Aquarius Camus) and it turned out that his master actually teach him something.. 7) Saori with short hair?? 8) Changed Script: My beloved battle: Aphrodite vs Shuun is changed.. (Saga killed Aphrodite).. TERRIBLE STUPID LAME!!! There is also no Shura Vs Shiryu (and Shiryu managed to make Shura realize his mistake and Shura give him Excalibur at the last minute of his life). That battle against that Giant Statue is lame and unnecessary. And this movie is about Bronze Saints, but why are the Gold Saints taking the spotlight? 9) The final battle is mehhh. Overall, it's a failed Manga/Anime adaptation. What a disappointment.

Don't listen to the the haters

This movie is really good.

The animation was quite impressive and the plot did a fine job summarizing the first story arc of a very long anime series.

However, the hardcore fans who hate this movie are mad at the fact that this isn't a carbon-copy remake of the anime or the manga...Yet those fans are the same people who believe a series like Saint Seiya should be adapted in live-action by Hollywood: Give me a break, Saint Seiya fans! Do you really believe that Hollywood will do a proper and more faithful adaptation of your beloved manga/anime series than this one?

Honestly, all the negative reviews are so childish, so embarrasing. Nothing more than lazy nitpicks made by an entitled (And frankly unpleaseable) fandom that is stuck in the past in an unhealthy manner.

The Death of Saint Seiya

**SPOILERS AHEAD**

I was so excited for this movie when it was first announced. I went to the website daily to find out what the next Gold Saint would look like and even though some of the renditions were disappointing, I was still very excited. Then the trailers came and little by little, I started to wonder what this movie was going to encompass. There were many scenes I was familiar with and others I had no idea where they had came from. Still, I wanted to be optimistic. When I was finally able to sit down and watch the movie, every second of the movie was more excruciating than the last. This movie was just as bad if not worse than The Last Airbender.

First, there's the characters. Pretty much no one is given any kind of character development or background aside from Saori Kido and that was half-assed at best. Some characters even got a complete sex change like Milo. Not that I'm sexist, but there was no ambiguity with Milo's gender yet somehow he has since became a woman? Then came Deathmask. This had to be a joke. Deathmask was a sadistic murderer who killed simply because he could. In the movie, he becomes a singing baboon and dances around like he was on Broadway. Lastly, Shura doesn't die! Not that I wanted him to because I always did like character but he was killed in the original fight yet in this movie, he is alive. What?! Lastly, Pisces gets the worse death, he gets about 30 seconds of screen time and then gets thrown out of a building and the other Saints just say 'It's Aphrodite, he's dead." End scene.

Next is the story, for a story arc with so much content, how they came up with such a ridiculous rendition is beyond me. I understand that not everything can fit in, but when you gloss over the most important details and then completely change the world this story lives in, it just makes no sense because the changes weren't necessary/crucial to the story at all. For example, Saori was found in Greece, in the movie it was changed to the Himalayas. Sanctuary is hidden within Greece but in the movie, Sanctuary is located in the clouds that is only accessible with cloth dog tags? WHAT?! The ending scene was also just as mind boggling. Saga creates some kind of giant and Seiya wins by shooting an arrow from the Sagittarius cloth but he's not wearing it normally, the cloth is still in it's minotaur form.

All in all, the visuals of this film were great but that didn't save it from the writing catastrophe it is.
