This movie Is perfect, nothing is wrong in this movie. Martin Scorsese could never.
Review by Tom Walker ★★★★

took a photo of our cat to show my girlfriend and she laughed and asked me "what loser wizard movie are you watching in the background?"
anyway it was this one! maybe the most successful video game movie? really captures the feeling of playing a game, and being a videogame fan which I unfortunately am (though i've never played Dragon Quest). really interesting to have me come out of this movie pro-gaming, where otherwise i think it is a parasite that eats time
+ .5 star for a genuinely surprising twist and + .5 star for the design of the dragon quest slime, one of gaming's most perfect creatures
Review by Iglian ★★★

I had a bunch of reasons as to why I was mildly curious to see this. The animation looked great, even though I was admittedly disappointed that Akira Toriyama's iconic art style for the series was not used (though to my shock there is a reason for that!!). I've never played Dragon Quest V (or any other in the series for that matter, except for the Demo to XI), so I figured this would be a decent "sparknotes"-esque way that I could experience one of the older games without having to sink 30 hours into one. In fact, it probably is better watching this with no prior knowledge of the story so that I wouldn't be so annoyed with the…

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

In the end of this film it is revealed that the entire story has been an advanced AI recreation of dragon quest V where the player gets their memory wiped to experiance it as the character. This is revealed by a virus that was created by people that hate gamers and want them to suffer for clinging to virtual worlds, but the slime our hero befriended was actually an antivirus who defeats the anti-gamer virus and than our hero gets to experiance the virtual world more.

Like what the actual fuck.
The action was great and it was super pretty tho.

I lift a comically large goblet labeled JRPG JUICE to my mouth and slime-blu liquid pours all down the front of my yu yu hakusho t-shirt. still pouring I gargle out the words "you guys this is totemo sugoi

Que filminho gostoso, que cheirinho de infância.
Review by Andre Bennett ★★★

I doubt Dragon Quest: Your Story will appeal to viewers who aren't familiar with the games, a series of Japanese role-playing games not unlike Final Fantasy. The movie is an adaptation of one of the series' high points, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, rushing to hit as many of the key beats as possible.
This is mostly a disservice to the characters, who seem engaging but get little time to really make an impression (with the exception of free-spirited mage Bianca).
If you are a Dragon Quest fan, however, or even just feel a nostalgic frisson whenever you hear the iconic theme song (as I do), you'll likely enjoy it. The animation is incredible, with a few…

when I first watched this movie I was like I don’t see why people got mad maybe it’s because I haven’t played dragon quest bUT THEN NAHDJFJF N O AHJDJD EVEN AS A PERSON WHO ISNT A TOTAL DRAGON QUEST FANATIC I CAN SEE WHY THEY GOT HELLA MAD
honest to god I was gonna mention how it seemed hyper rushed but after the ending with the fucking VR thing I WAS LIKE UH THAT KINDA EXPLAINS IT??? And we kinda got hints when the characters were like “this time around” or again” bUT THAT SHIT WOKE ME THE HELL UP AS WHEN HECTOR SAID “lighting mc queens human form once more” aND I SAID “ON CE MORE???”
Okay but…
Review by Madison ★★½

The cute ending and amazing animation does not make watching this hour and 40 minute snoozefest worth it.
Also why do all the characters have such massive hands............. its all I could think about..............
Review by pure_happy ★★★

A beautifully animated video game movie that's rich was nostalgia, and without getting into spoilers, painfully aware of that fact.

Escapism: The Movie.
Review by Cameron ★★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Pretty fun retelling of DQ5 with a really dumb twist and some pacing issues. The middle is admittedly pretty fantastic and constantly engaging however the child and adult portions of the story are way too short.
also the ending sucks what is with japan and forcing isekai into everything these days
grow up loser
Review by Aranoo ★★★

In un mondo Fantasy un giovane eroe cresce tra varie difficoltà nella speranza di vincere il cattivone di turno. Basato sullo storico videogioco Dragon Quest 5 (uno dei migliori J-RPG di sempre dietro solo a titoli come chrono trigger e Final fantasy 6) il tutto è un Frettoloso film animato fan-service che prova a ricostruire l'esperienza anni 90 che si provava giocando da piccoli a questo tipo di epopea da decine di ore e quasi ci stava riuscendo per poi gettare cinicamente la spugna nel finale con strizzate d'occhio META molto irritanti. Il Film ha chiaramente grossi problemi di ritmo perchè parte come uno spot televisivo nostalgico e non presenta bene il mondo e i personaggi, è pieno di montaggi…
