Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie Ratings & Reviews
A
May 1, 2025
Fun movie. Haven’t rewatched since 2004, so it was nostalgic.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
Effectively a strategy guide and commercial in vaguely filmic form.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
More infomercial than movie. For series fans only.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Like the gods, the trading cards are capricious, with ever-changing rules and strategies so intricate that only Yu-Gi-Ohlogists will fully enjoy this adventure.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie, and if you're not already one of the converted than don't expect to be yelling anything other than 'Yu-Gi-No!' while trying to sit through this impenetrable mess of an animated feature.
Entertainment Weekly
Scott Brown
A feature-length anime commercial.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
It's a lot like hearing the play-by-play account of a heated game of bridge. Only not half as gripping.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Kids will eat Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie up. The rest of us will have to wait for the translation.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
This cartoon based on the popular and complicated card game might as well be written in another language.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
If your pulse quickens when you hear lines like, 'Not so fast! I still have two cards face down, and they'll bring down your life points to a measly 1000!', then Yu-Gi-Oh is the movie you've been waiting for all summer.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie, a hyperventilating feature-length advertisement for Japanese trading cards, would be hilarious if it weren't so dreadfully cynical.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
From the endless product placement to its attempt to reel viewers in with free trading cards at the door, it all adds up to a 90-minute commercial.
Boston Globe
Louise Kennedy
Yu-Gi-Oh! is so flat as to make the card game on which it is based seem positively three-dimensional.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
The only thing missing is a 1-800 number flashing on the bottom.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
A feature-length promotion for the trading cards your kids will beg you to buy all the way home.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
Feels like a 91-minute infomercial selling the popular collectible-card game.
Washington Post
Sara Gebhardt
There's nothing inspiring about Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie, unless you count the way it compels kids to continue to support the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
With Yu-Gi-Oh!, a Japanese animated film, the line between entertainment and advertising has been emphatically erased.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
Unless you are one of the Japanese phenomenon's army of devoted young followers, much of the film's story line and machinations will be Greek, or at the very least Egyptian, to you.
Variety
Robert Koehler
No one without a working knowledge of the fabulously profitable Manga-turned-gamer phenomenon will find it easy to enter here.
