It’s easy to pile onto Hollywood for cranking out as many sequels as possible in the shortest timeframe, especially when the law of diminishing returns begins to set in when additional installments arrive on a near-annual basis. Spare a thought for the live-action Fullmetal Alchemist trilogy, then, which spent half a decade waiting for its conclusion before dropping the final two chapters in serious rapid succession.
The opening salvo hit theaters in December 2017, with the 135-minute epic proving a lot more popular with fans than it did critics – at least if we take the respective 28 percent Rotten Tomatoes score and 72 percent user rating into account. However, it was almost half a decade of radio silence to follow before those clamoring to know how the story ends were gifted with the one-two punch of The Revenge of Scar and The Last Transmutation (or The Final Alchemy, depending on where you live).
