Great Movie, but a little disappointing

"This was a good movie, but trying to cram 3 video games into 1 theatrical feature was a bit too much. If you didn't play any of the .hack//G.U. video games then you might have a hard time figuring out the finer mechanics of what was going on in the movie. Many of the main characters weren't included like Sakubo and Endrance, only Haseo, Atoli, and Ovan used their epitaph powers, and several of the main enemies were over shadowed or not shown at all. Plus, it skipped most of the games key parts and pretty much remastered cut-senes to make most of the movie. Basically the movie focused only on Haseo, Atoli, and Ovan. Not that its a bad thing, but there was so much more than what was portrayed.

The graphics were amazing and the fight scenes were awsome."

An epic tale of the GU universe!

"An amazing movie with beautifully rendered fight scenes, heart grossing story, and an amazing soundtrack this movie is a must watch. Though following the basics of the story from the games much is shortened, left out, or brushed past to progress to the main points. Side characters, plots, and enemies aren't present so if your expecting the game's story verbatim your in for a new experience. Which is what makes this so great. Your not getting the game watered down, your getting something new, something incredible, a true dot hack masterpiece."

.hack quality + anime mega-violence = two thumbs WAY up!

"This movie is a beauty from start to finish. It removes a lot of the story points but how else can you make a movie without it being 50-60 hours? Cramming three games into one movie seemed like a hard enough job. I'm only miffed a little cause Sakaki only seems like a nuisance and not a pain in the neck like he should be. The combat sequences are beautiful but do not dull the actual story unlike a spiky haired emo I know...

Haseo proves he's not angst and rage, though they do seem to get the job done for him. Well, until [This part is censored for plot relevance] and [see prior] and he proves [you get the idea] etc.

I had expected, with it being condensed and all, Ovan would be more direct. How wrong I was! He maintains his normal status, more so than the other characters."
