I enjoyed THE REVENGE OF SCAR about as much as I enjoyed the first live action FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST movie, which is not very much at all! The problem is that these anime adaptations lack something in translation so we're left with stiff performances, wooden dialogue and storytelling that feels like it's all over the place. On the plus side, like the RUROUNI KENSHIN films before it, this has very nice visuals and costumes in particular; you can see exactly what the animated figures would have looked like, and there's plenty of creativity in the constant visuals and CGI action. What a shame that the rest is so hollow...
