Dragon Quest: Your Story

I unintentionally watched the film, thought the CG seems pretty nice from the trailer.. and that's the best decision I've made this year!!

The film was really great!! Visually stunning CGi, really nice soundtrack, and to tell you the truth.. the plot twist at the end made me shed my tear!! You could feel how much love was given by these creators.. they really do admire the DQ series..

There's only few problem with the screenplay, but it's understandable.. like FFVII, old game like these couldn't be retold within an hour and a half.. They've already trued their best in adapting and keep up with the best possible.. I truly enjoy the film :))

I was a little confused at the choice of straying away from the Akira Toriyama art style, but I have to say that the style of the film has grown on me. The film combines a number of characters from the games and includes just enough reinterpretation of the source material to keep longtime fans guessing at what's coming next.

I have not my self played Dragon Quest V, but as an avid gamer for over three decades, this movie still gave me a lot of good vibes and took me back to some old memories! The visuals are stunning and only based on that, I would recommend this! It does however fall short in some areas. It feels a little "forced" at times, and the potential is more than what the end product shows. All in all it was a pleasure to watch, and even though it is nothing revolutionary, it is a good-feel story with stunning graphics!

The ending destroys it. It was unnecessary.

Character building was nonexistent.

Dragon Quest: Your Story is a great movie. Having played and loved Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, I went in with high expectations and was not disappointed. Despite not playing Dragon Quest V, I felt really connected to the story and characters in this film. The only nagging aspect of this movie are the weird plot jumps. Throughout the movie, there are several jumps that feel to me as though they are skipping huge plot scenes that should have been incorporated into the film. The ending however, despite popular opinion, really hit home for me. I loved the message that the ending scene portrayed and this scene alone made my opinion jump from a 5 to an 8. Had it been roughly 2 and a half hours, with more character development and more action sequences,this would have likely been a 10 for me. In short, Dragon Quest: Your Story, is exactly as the title says, "Your Story" and I would recommend this to anyone, especially anyone who likes or has played any of the Dragon Quest games.
