After the conclusion of the Battle City Tournament, deep below the sands of Egypt, an ancient evil has awakened.

Wielding the power of the Eighth Millennium Item, Anubis is determined to destroy Yugi and take over the world.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Dave Kehr
The character designs are flat and derivative, the backgrounds crude and uninviting, and the movements jerky and minimal. It's a sad excuse for a movie, but then, it isn't really meant to be one. It's a commercial with a ticket price.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Too solemnly boring to entertain parents or older siblings - but, alas, too loud for a long nap - Yu-Gi-Oh! is basically a feature-length promotion for the trading cards.
The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
Has the crass look and feel of a 90-minute infomercial.
No cuddly, funky "Pokemon" pocket monsters populate this pic; this game is for the big kids, rife with a ruthless tone, heightened violence and cold calculation. However, fans will put up with a dull tale to finally see their obsession on the bigscreen.
