5.0 out of 5 stars Gundam Seed Movie III is worth it for the bonus footage., November 17, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: The Rumbling Sky (Movie 3) (DVD)

If you have already seen Movies I and II, you find that Movie III is along the same lines. (Clips from the series edited into a sensible story.) HOWEVER, Movie III is worth the price to FINALLY get to see the "Face Behind the Mask." That's right in bonus footage we get to see Le Cresseutte's face! All the mystrious are revealed and all the ends are tied up. Check it out. Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Trilogy, August 9, 2008

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam Seed 3: Movie - The Rumbling (DVD)

For most Gundam Seed fans the third movie will be their favorite, the main reason that it covers the least amount of episodes. Unlike the first two movies were entire episodes were ignored in the this movie that covers episodes 41-50 parts of each episode are featured.

Most of the new things not featured in the series were actually pretty good. A new flashback reveals that Muruta Azrael used to be just jealous of Coordiantors, it actually esculated to pure hatred because of his fanatical mother. A new scene shows Kira telling Lacus he doesn't think he was meant to exist and Lacus replying that he is and that by meeting him she's been a much happier woman and that she wants him to stay with her. Given their personalities these two clearly belong together and this scene clearly conveys that. When Rau Le Creuset's mask gets shot off we briefly get to see his face. It wasn't to big a deal, but it did make Mu La Flaga's reaction more powerful about who he really was. Instead of Yzak killing Clotho, the pilot of the Raider Gundam Dearka does. I don't know why they changed this but it doesn't really matter because it happens really fast in the movie, in a clip like manner. The only complaint I really have with this movie was skimming down the fight scenes with Orga, Shani and Clotho. Those goes guys may be cruel but they deliver great exciting fights.

The one great thing about all the movies is that unlike the series there's no time for repetitive flashbacks. Still all of them could be longer. I was actually pleased with some of things they chose to leave out. For one thing the preachy and overly optimistic dialogue. For instance Cagalli telling Athrun that his father will probably come around when they really got to talk. Even though many of the most intriguing moments of the series are featured in this movie this goes back to how one sided the plot became. Anyone who wasn't fighting on the side of Kira and Athrun was either portrayed as stupid (un-informed) or evil. That's why I tend to have a soft spot for villians in shows of this genere.

My favorite scenes typically featured Rau Le Creuset. Even though he was the villian his logic wasn't completely wrong. Kira's view towards people and the world in general was just a little to optimistic, given the use of Nuclear weapons by the Earth Alliance, Genesis by ZAFT and every other thing he witnessed up until now. I guess Rau Le Creuset and Kira both represent the extreme opposite view points. What was refreshing was how full of rage Kira was after Creuset killed Flay. At least in Gundam Seed his hands get dirty, he actually kills people (unlike later in Destiny) because it is a war after all. Except now he's fighting a war to end another war. Lacus Clyne goes as far as to tell Andrew Waltfeld not to aim for the cockpits when firing the The Eternal's weapons. She wants to bring about peace yet any normal person would be bitter and want payback after being humiliated, subdued like that on the Battlefield. So whether they kill or not hatred will persist once it's all over. The fact that Kira and Athrun's Gundams magically managed to stop every single nuke from hitting the Plants was a little to convient, unrealistic in a war situation for my taste. So since they actually kill some people makes them come off as human rather than Messiah's. Honestly Lacus Clyne points it out herself by stating, "We call for peace, yet we have weapons in our hands." If anything the soliders from both ZAFT and the Earth Forces probably found it condescending when Lacus with her preachy voice tells them to stop fighting.

Notice how I critique this show, it's because I like it so much. You really should screen this movie once if you're a Gundam fan. Even if you've already seen the series the new things are fun to see. The ending is the same as in the series with the song and everything, leaving you dieing to see what happens next in the Cosmic Era on Gundam Seed Destiny.
