Dragon Quest: Your Story

As someone who played Dragon Quest V, long ago the story beats and characters are there. After the fact, I really appreciated the efforts that provided the excitement and with the context of your story.

All the bits and pieces of what makes Dragon Quest is present, and if you have played the game I'm sure it'll recall the moments and emotion that'll yearn for the world you know and love. Which is the point.

This isn't going to change your experience with your adventure, only reignite it.

The ending destroys it. It was unnecessary.

Character building was nonexistent.

At the moment i am seeing that the movie had the score of 4.9 and this is really unfair , the movie is absolutely stunning visually , a classical hero story for the all time fan of the franchise the Jrpgs, or classical shounen animes. Watching it in HD is an absolute delight, the 3D is top noch with the textures ,details and movements in most of the film that it kept me on my toes all the time looking at all the small details. Sometimes there s some small things that set me off like some scene when the are running or some of the textures... Anyway again the film is a lovely nostalgic yet modern trip especially for the fan of the series or the japanese animation fan in general. I gave it a 9 ,a score I wouldn't give all that easily .

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.

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!
