Is this anime movie worth something [Fullmetal Alchemist]

I wondered if Fullmetal Alchemist The movie is a good movie?
Because i have seen before that movies made after series are bad, like The vision of Escaflowne, it's a great series but the movie is not worth SHIT!

I enjoyed the FMA movie
helped to explain some of the loose ends in the end of the series
of course it would of helped if I actually saw the end of the series first...
at the very least, it's not a movie version of the series, it actually has an [mostly] independent story

The movie was ok, but the series was way better. I enjoyed the movie, but not as much as the series.

The movie was good, it just obviously couldn't go as much into depth with the story as the series could because it's a movie and didn't have as much time. But I enjoyed it, and some of the animation was pretty hawt.

The movie is the "Happy Ending" version for people who didn't like the depressing finale of the series (even though it was obvious that it wouldn't end cheerful by episode 12), but it has some good animation and story-wise it's good closure for Envy, Gluttony and the Hohenheim - Aspects of the wrap-up that went missing in the series.

I wouldn't exactly call this the "Happy Ending" version

Well, it's happy compared to the series end.

Movie Spoilers wrote:In the end, the brothers are together and with their full bodies, which is what they always wanted. They are in a different universe, but they never once said "we want to get our bodies back without being thrown across the otherworldly gate into nazi Germany" so it isn't really a big problem

Thanks everybody
I watched the series and thought that it was really good so maybe the movie would be good too...

Thanks a lot for your great help on my question
