The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I had heard mixed things about Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, both from my friends and online. Polls online show that GX or Zexal are consistently on/near the bottom of people's ranking of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. I have watched the original series and 5D's and liked them both (although I still found the concept of speed duels a bit silly). I was hesitant to watch it, but after being given all the episodes on DVD I couldn't pass it up. To be upfront, this is only a review of series 1-3 as these are the only dubbed episodes.So, what did I think of it? Well, its a bit of a mixed bag really. The series is canon and starts with a nice nod to the original cast members. It even had occasional appearances of other cast members throughout the series. I liked that idea, since they did acknowledge the original (and best) series without relying on it. The new cast was good, but very very different from the original. Jaden is a very talented duelist with a knack for truancy. This laid back attitude can get quite annoying at times, but what I found more grating was his over-exuberance for the game. He loved duelling a bit too much...The rest of the cast was good too. What I liked about this series is that we got more action from the cast other than the main protagonist compared to the original series. More duels = more variation, which I liked.It seems that each series has a type of duelling that they like to latch onto and not let go. The original series utilised the same monsters over and over again, whilst 5Ds seemed to love synchro summoning. GX is no different and fusion was the name of the game. It was good since we got to see a wide variation of fusion monsters. However, it did get quite "samey" after a while, since we knew what Jaden was going to do most of the time. The only difference was the "winning move", which was very clever at times. I did also enjoy the new monsters and their use of the old monsters in the original series. The Egyptian Gods were even involved, along with a different version (which are considerably less powerful) that I enjoyed. So, although there were some aspects of duelling that I did not enjoy, there was plenty to be admired.In terms of the actual storytelling, it is mixed in my opinion. Series 1 is obviously trying to get us used to a new cast and a new concept of a duelling academy. As such, the majority of the plot occurred in the duelling academy and the main storyline was very much internal. It was very good up until the end, which I found to be a bit of an anticlimax. Series 2 was my favourite, because the creators got a bit more...creative. The did so without it being too crazy. I enjoyed the concept of the "light" being evil and having main characters turn evil. It got us to see a different side of them. Series 3 was where it went a bit off. It started out OK, but when the duellists started going inter-dimensional duelling demons and beasts, it was a bit too weird. I just think that they were trying to out-do the previous season, but went a bit too far. It was still enjoyable, but it just seemed a bit confused (and confusing at times).All in all, this was a Yu-Gi-Oh! series that was worth watching. To be honest, I enjoyed it more than 5Ds (cue the boos!), but that is because I just like the traditional method of duelling. However, nothing will compare to the original series. Its not the nostalgia goggles, I just genuinely believe the story lines and characters in the original series were better.

A spin-off? Really? That was my first reaction to hearing about GX. I remember watching the first episode at my cousins house and we both shrugged it off simply saying 'eh." 1. The animation is okay but nothing really spectacular. The designs are kind of off. Some characters look like realistic anime people but others look fake which made the character designs too weird.2. The duels feel three times longer than they actually are. Some are short which makes the episodes easier to sit through However when I see that they're are two parts I cringe and pray it's not going to take too long.3. I'm going to honest and say that I didn't enjoy any characters in GX. Maybe it's because of the wrong voice acting or the one-shot roles these characters have but none of them go into really deep fleshed out roles. They talk about a few things like siblings or parents but that's about it. Plus these don't really affect the characters much. Also yes they're pretty insufferable to sit through. The dialog is garbage and full of terrible jokes or phrases that no one says anymore.Honestly this is the worst of the Yugioh spin-offs. I like Zexal more because at least the animation was pretty and had some likable characters. Sadly this show didn't.

I have somewhat an affinity to the 4kids Yugioh--Hey I didn't know it was a mess up of the Japanese version--When I found out about original version first time I came across the manga, nabbed it and loved it too. I think of 4kids as taking place in another dimension and the manga in another dimension. Back to 4kids Yugioh--it's better than messed up Pokemon which I swear I wonder why the latter show hung on so long. Having watched GX I figured why Pokemon is still going strong.Let me start with average episode--Oftenimes Left me scratching my head. What's going on here and why is it so boring? The reason for their dueling I had not the slightest idea. Worse, IMO too many characters looking like original Yugioh characters. The worse offender is Shō Marufuji (Syrus Truesdale)--Turn hair upside, ditch his glasses, dye it purple front yellow at the hairline and see who's there. And if a character doesn't look like an old character they act like one--Good God, Shō's (Syrus) brother. Seto cocky Kaiba. I'd love to see GX the Japanese version--And while I search for it watch the Yugioh's more superior better Capsule Monsters saga better I mean it had coherent plot than this. Still I'm giving it 2 as unappealing I find this show, it's better than mind numbingly repetitive Pokemon,

GX is the best show ever. Much better than the original yugioh. the characters are cool and the school is great. it's like harry potter with duel monsters. to whoever complained about changing the names, you don't know what your talking about! i don't want a guy named "hamotoao" or whatever walking around! i want chumley! nobodys name is judai! the names are great just the way they are. thats what makes the show good! its original! nobody wants the old Japanese version. cartoon network is great for having the guts to make it better. it should go back to being on twice a day. plus, the dueling is much better in gx then in yugioh. the combos are great and i can't wait to buy them. they need to make a movie soon! get your game on!!!!!!!!!
