LOL
this still hurts
Iirc aside from the strange twist, another reason why it's panned it's because it apparently feels rushed.This movie is weird because it's panned by Hardcore Japanese DQ fans because of spoilers so you can't really talk about why it's not good lol.

Going to watch it later today.
Just came out the other side. I'll say it.
Fuck the haters.
The "twist" has got to be the most endearing thing I have seen in a movie, period. As a lifelong Dragon Quest fan, I welled the hell up when it dropped. Legit, can not fathom the hate this garnered back in Japan. Is it a 1:1 retelling of the beloved entry? Nope. Why should that be held against it? It tried it's own thing, and I'll be damned if it didn't stick the landing with me, as I'm sure it will other megafans of series. Shit, video games in general. THIS is why we play, and what a way to sink that in.
The only real criticism I'd level to the film is that is moves along at a breakneck speed and does not let up. The VA? Surprisingly good! Visually, a treat, and the classic Dragon Quest OST never gets old.
What really made this was my partner turning to me at the credits and telling me she understood why I played these kinds of games. So again - screw the haters. If you are any sliver of a Dragon Quest fan - plop it on, relax, and enjoy the biggest love letter you can imagine.
All right, this post might have bumped this into a viewing when I'm home from work tonight instead of waiting for the weekend

So I finished watching Dragon Quest: Your Story...
I actually really liked it.
I'm not sure why they added that part that the Japanese fans hated so much, but it's like a 4 minute scene and it's so inconsequential to the rest of the movie it doesn't really bother me.Also that part actually made me tear up a little even though it's so cheesy so whatever.
I'm interested. But after that shitty Ni No Kuni movie I just watched on Netflix I'm sort of spent for now. I'm saving my energy for Sonic.
That sounds fucking stupid.the entire movie is actually a VR remake of Dragon Quest V being played by the protagonist, and the final boss is actually a virus who mocks them for still playing games as an adult. the reason the opening part of the plot is rushed through is that it's explaining that the protagonist chose to skip that part.
If I've not played DQ5 but I am planning too in the relatively near future (once I finish DQ11), should I wait to play it before watching this?
