From the beginning, I knew that this would be a side-story from Brotherhood, would introduce a new female lead character (of which I did not automatically dismiss as a Mary-Sue as opposed to SOME people), and it would be about a new form of alchemy in some town called Milos.
You get most of that from news articles and trailers. I don't know what else people were expecting and I just don't see why people can't just enjoy it as if they were promised something else that wasn't delivered. All in all, this is a good movie.
The military practices are still here. The lead was bad-@$$, especially towards the end. Any hint of romance toward the end was cute, but not unsettling as we all saw how the series ended. I was even laughing out loud at some parts, especially when Ed was just arriving in Milos.
The only thing I didn't like was that Winry had such a minor role. It was like they dropped her in the middle of a big battle just to fix Ed's automail. But that's not enough to ruin it.
Movie = Awesome.
