I had heard good and bad things about Gundam Wing before I watched all 49 episodes. I loved it. Sure, it had its flaws, but it was an enjoyable series with an awesome plot and excellent character sub-plots. When I heard about there being a follow-up movie I was excited, but slightly apprehensive considering many series follow-ups have been sub-par. I was going to watch it regardless...
So, what did I think of this movie? To put it simply, I think that this movie did the series justice. We were thrown back into the Gundam world with some familiar faces. The story was great, with the daughter of Treize trying to pick up where her father left off. She was slightly annoying at times, but she didn't get that much face time! There were some other interesting turns in the plot that I will not spoil. Needless to say, it made the movie great to watch and was certainly better than some of the other Gundam movies.
The Gundams themselves look like they got serious upgrades since we last saw them. They looked awesome! DeathScythe looked more....deadly. Gundam Zero looked truly majestic. I could go on, but you really have to see it to understand what I mean. The battle scenes were as I had expected - crazy and full of explosions. The only thing that annoys me is that the Gundams are just so powerful that they make the mobile suits they face look like storm troopers from Star Wars.
So, do I think you should watch this movie? Yes. However, in order to understand the movie I also recommend you watch the series beforehand. It makes you understand more about the characters and why they act in certain ways. Taken together, this was a movie that was a worth follow-up to the series.

To be honest, the ending of the Gundam Wing series was so anti-climactic that it was horrible. It did not fit with what the entire series had going for it throughout its run. The mecha are beautifully brought back again for one final hurrah. The story is engaging, the characters (though textbook heroes) are still well-written, and that's it. The series ends, and what a way to end it. Top notch.

This film is the epitome of good anime! It's even clean, so if you wanted to you could show it to your kids (of course they wouldn't get it, but if they like action animation, it's fine!) It carries on the quest for peace and the great battle scenes and even gives us a little of the characters' background! I may have gone a bit overboard, but I gave this film a ten!

I cannot began to discribe my feelings towards "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz" simply because, It is in this reviewers option. The film is a most excellent ending to the greatest animated series of our time! Why? It took all the elements of the series, and all of the questions that the fans have had. (Such as "What was Operation M?") and it not only answers them in full detail, but it also gave us a more clear view of our favorite Piolts past(s).
Yet while this is an animated film, it is not ment for small childern however. I would recomend this to any anime fan, or for anyone who simply enjoys brilliant stories and movie making!

This has to be one of the best anime films out there. Endless Waltz is, in my opinion, just as good as the Studio Ghibli films (to name a few, Princess Mononoke, Totoro, Laputa - also known as Castle in the Sky -, Spirited Away). Go see it! And Duo Mexwell is the best character without a doubt. Don't doubt me!! LOL OK so I'm just a little obsessed. But really, if you ever get the opportunity, watch the TV series then the movie, as you will certainly not regret it! You'll really have to watch the TV series first though, as I have to admit (like all movies of TV series I should think...), otherwise you'll be sitting there going, 'Whaaaa...?' ~Sandileina (Sandy for short)~

I'm absolutely in love. This movie was the best there ever was, the music was the coolest and the best, and the story was really hot too.
The Gundams are really cool and the Tallgesse III. My favorite Gundam custom was Deathscythe Hell Custom, it was really awesome and really cool like the Heavyarms. Wing Zero Custom I didn't like it very much because of the angel wings, some people said it looked great but it wasn't too great.
The characters are the best, but the saddest thing they've ever done in the ending was to detonate their gundams, Duo still the funniest there is, Heero the silent guy, Trowa the smart guy, Wufei the strongest and Quatre well you know.
But I couldn't believe that Relena slapped someone. That's right Relena 'all violence is wrong' Darlian, had slapped someone because of the cause of peace. Great movie I give this movie a 10/10

I just love this movie because of one character : Lady Une, former OZ soldier and now the leader of The Preventers. She is the only reason I like the gundam series and all thank to the voice of actress, Enuka Okuma. But I just hope lady une some would remember this character in the future ,so heres to Lady Une:
We will never forget you!
We will never forget you!

Wow! This is an excellent movie! Anyone who likes the series, "Gundam Wing", or even any animé, will LOVE this movie! The animation is great, and so is the dubbing. Plus, Lt. Zechs is voiced by BRIAN DRUMMOND! Whoo!

During the blossoming era of anime during the Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z and Digimon craze, these shows were great. Gohan, Dragonite, Angemon. Great times.
Then there was This Gundam Wing. I hated it. It was so dark, ugly and humourless. When ever I saw Gundam on YTV I would click away fast and go watch better products on Teletoon. The show looked so ugly (XP).
Last Words: Gundamn Hash.

Along comes the "special edition" MOVIE version of the 1998 Endless Waltz OVA.(which i reviewed in the "Shin kidô senki Gundam W: Endless Waltz (1998) (V)" IMDb entry.
Before you think that this movie is a waste of time and money that just cobbles the 3 episodes of the endless waltz OVA into one long show, think again. There are an additional 10 minutes of footage that further develop the already intriguing plot and flesh out the Gundam pilots' back-stories in greater detail. This manages to clear up some of the plot holes that remained in the OVA and resulted in a more enjoyable movie experience. Some of the musical cues seemed to be changed or reshuffled, but most of the changes are for the better and matches the scenes well.
Aside from the additional footage, the battle sequences look like they have been touched up and extended. Just when you thought the final battle between the Gundams and the Serpent mobile suits in Brussels could not get any more epic, it just did. I got the DVD of Endless Waltz which had both the OVA and the movie version and i can safely say that the movie version is superior. By being longer, it actually makes it more believable that the Gundam pilots would fall victim to fatigue. You can see how their fighting style changes from the decisively professional strikes in the initial scuffle to an almost desperate, wild flailing once the Gundams have run out of their primary ammunition and are low on energy.
I do not know if the other battle scenes were touched up by the animators or if was a result of a better film master or transfer, but the art and animation in the movie looked sharper, more vibrant and detailed. The fluid character movements and tight combat sequences are pure eye candy surpassing many action scenes in other mecha space anime.
I highly recommend "Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: special edition movie" to any fan of mecha and action anime. It takes all that was good about the TV series and OVA and makes it a lot better. Engaging story, complex but likable characters, thought provoking themes about war, and amazing animation that is years ahead of its time. This movie sets a whole new benchmark in the standard of animation that one would expect from anime movies.
Be sure to get the "special edition" and not the "toonami edition" though.

I was in AWWW, the whole time I was watching it. After seeing the series then the movie, this is the best Gundam series ever. The music was exquisite, the animation was one of the best I've ever seen. You have to see the 49-episode series before you watch this excellent movie. It will take your breath away.

I've seen a bit of the series and when I looked it up on the web, I just had to go and buy it! The characters have so much life in them and their personality is all their own! The artistry is beautiful especially on Wing Gundam Zero. Great movie!

The Endless Waltz, a fine piece of anime at it's best. Heero's human side has shown him to be a very virtous and honorable fighter. His own personal struggle has greatly been an intricate part of this movie. We get to see a forming romantic bond between Relena and Heero as well. Mariemaya Krushrenada was a victim of greed in this movie, and a pawn in a bigger scheme planned by her sick, sedistic, madman she calls Grandfather (Dekim Barton). Spectacular Animation! Awesome storyline! A must see for any anime fan!!!!!

all i can say about this movie is WOW. the animation had me frozen in awe for the whole movie. i mean, i've never seen such flow, such perfect motion and synchronization! this movie is damn well made. i mean, DAMN WELL. it's my absolute fave anime movie. in fact, it's my absolute fave anime anything. all i could ever wish for is more mecha space action, since it was a little bare in the middle. the characters perform just as they always do, except they get a couple memorable lines and a hell lot more awesome mecha performances. top notch, people, TOP NOTCH! i first saw this film downloaded, and the quality wasn't very good. if you're going to watch Endless Waltz, make sure you do it some honor and watch it on DVD or VHS. it's a lot sexier that way. overall rating, 9.5/10

In my opinion this has to be one of the best anime movies ever. Many loose ends left over from the Gundam Wing series are tied up within this great ending. Characters' backgrounds are explored a little more and new light is shed on the original Operation Meteor. Amazing animation, delicious bishies, awesome mecha fights...what more could you want?! An absolute MUST-SEE for any Gundam Wing fan!!!

This movie is probably the best way to end the magnificent Gundam Wing series. It answered a lot of questions asked about the series. It showed the pilots' pasts. The new Gundams are awesome, especially Tallgeese II. I didn't like Wing Zero Custom because the angel wings was ridiculous!!! Death Scythe Hell was nice too. The animation was much better than the series.
Watch the series first or else you won't have a clue about what's going on in the movie.

New mobile Report Gundam Wing: Endless WaltZ is the movie sequel to the perfect Anime. I would recommend this movie to anyone!!! I love it! It's so great! I can't believe how perfect it is!!! Wow!!! Mothers reading this to see if it's a good idea for their kids: This movie is really good. If your kids are sensitive to blood, Dekim Barton gets shot and a bit of blood is visible. But that shouldn't matter because this movie is GREAT!!! Oh yeah, and Quatre will um, teach them to be nice and stuff.

I recently bought the special edition DVD, and it is beyond all of my expectations. It has both versions of Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, the 3-episode OVA and the theatrical movie with more scenes than the OVA. Gundam Wing is my 2nd favorite anime series, and I love the prequel/sequel Endless Waltz. I recommend the series and the movie, they are both a must-see. A space opera with realism, it reminds me of STAR WARS a little bit. Zechs Marquise/Milliardo Peacecraft voiced by BRIAN DRUMMOND RULES!

Very interesting,I think. The story line is very good,the characters are just as good as they were in the series,and it answers a lot of questions that you might have been asking. It shows extra stuff about the pilots,which I liked,and I liked how they made the 'evil' person a little girl. And a BIG plus for Endless Waltz is that Relena didn't scream to Heero when he obviously couldn't hear her. I liked how they had an equal amount of stuff on all the pilots and it didn't mainly focus on Heero Yuy. The Gundams looked a lot better in Endless Waltz than in the original series,and the characters actually had a different change of clothes...But,who am I to nag how they do their job? I couldn't make an Anime cartoon,for sure,and I have to give them all the credit I can. All and all,it was a fabulous movie to watch and it was quite enjoyable.....
