Bakuten shuto Beiburedo the mubi gekito!! Takao VS Daichi

I completed the original Beyblade series(Beyblade, V force, G-revoltion) when I was in my early adolescence. After a year or so, I got the opportunity to watch this movie and I felt so ecstatic. Once again, I was reuniting with my old friends(Tyson, Kai, Max, Ray and Daichi). It was a chance to watch the exciting Beybattles again and to listen to those awesome OSTs, which my mind was beginning to forget. While it was really satisfying, something about the movie felt off. As it was a movie, not a series, apart from Tyson and Daichi only Kai got a chance to shine in the Beybattle to some extent. Max and Ray became side characters even though both of them were the major characters in the series. Moreover, it would've been great had the story of the Dark bitbeasts was explored more. In a way, the movie appeared half-baked despite the decent storyline.

Overall, it's an average movie. It is watchable.

Beyblade: The Movie - Fierce Battle

Genre: Animation/Action/Adventure

This movie is great for any fan of anime and or the cartoon series, Beyblade! Tyson and Daichi face-off in a winner takes all bey-battle and when Tyson won, Daichi just won't keep excepting the defeat and keeps stocking Tyson until he has a rematch against Tyson. Tyson, Kenny, Hilary, Max, Ray and Kai go on a vacation after the World Beyblade Championships but soon their vacation makes a turn for the worst when they encounter mysterious beybladers who claim to be the Dark Spirits sealed inside a temple in Demon Rock Island. The Shadow Bladers seek to destroy the world with Daichi under their control and the power of Strata-Dragoon (Daichi's beyblade)! Can Tyson and Dragoon save Daichi and Strata-Dragoon from being under control of the Shadow Bladers? Will the Bladebreakers save the world in the most important bey-battle of their lives? Find out in this cool Beyblade movie! But I wonder why in America, this movie wasn't released into theaters because I thought personally it looked good enough to be in theaters. Another cool thing about this movie is that when the bitbeasts come out of their beyblades, the bitbeasts are computer animated when in the cartoon series the bitbeasts are not usually CGI-ed but still it's cool they CGI-ed them for the movie! This Beyblade movie takes place after V-Force (Season 2) and before G-Revolution (Season 3). Let It Rip!

Japanese characters using spinning tops to find out who is tougher. Are they serious? I mean, granted the Pokémon show and Yu-Gi-Oh! shows weren't very well thought out, but at least they made enough sense to kids to last for several years. But this is plain asinine.

There is little plot to entertain the viewer. The 'monsters' are trapped in the spinning tops and are freed somehow. Those creatures then possess some kids and act like hyenas in the way they laugh. They then try to track down another kid and top. Afterwords, the world somehow comes to near destruction from the top creatures in a Beyblade battle. Boring stuff follows.

There is just no way anybody should watch this. The creators should be ashamed and the voicing is just awful. Where did they come up with these cheesy lines and dry acting? I just wish nobody was harmed in creating this travesty of a Japanese show. "F"

I admit to knowing little about the "Beyblade" franchise apart from that it's not really that popular...which is probably why I know little about it. From what I see, the series is about people who fight using tops. I thought it would be a Mon show. Well, magical creatures do in fact appear in this movie eventually. I can't tell if it's faithful to the anime or if fans would like it. I just found it pointless.

Everything is just so cliché and it's all been done before and much better. There's a few token girls, the main character is a big eater, he gets a rival, etc. The side characters were especially forgettable. An ancient evil being awakened has been done a lot of times before too. I've never watched the anime, so I guess I can't judge it that well. I would still take 'Yu-Gi-Oh" over this, the anime not the movie, that was even worse than this. *1/2

This movie is far from the best of the Beyblade franchise. But it's much further from the worst. The characters are fairly likable, the pacing is better than some seasons, and the battles are fun. Really this feels more like a series of episodes combined together into one, since the tone is very similar to that if the show. My only complaint is their attempt at using CGI for the bit-beasts. While in most other series, the spirits are drawn while the beys are done in 3d this movie makes both 3D and it just feels off
