Second was the CG (computer graphics) used. It gave justice to how I imagined it would be. It may not be the best but it did the job for me. It was not half baked.
For me the characters portrayal was also on point. I was able to watch the anime and I felt that they tried their very best to stick to the soul of the anime. Until now I am astounded how they are able to make Al's character come alive. And the Nina chimera, it was heartbreaking but good. If you weren't touched, I don't know about you. I also liked how the villains are very close to how it was in the anime.
And just to clarify the WIG issue:
The hair is not a wig, it was an unruly hair extension.

Edward was always my favorite so I worried if this actor could pull it off. Amazingly, he looked just like what I would imagine the real Edward would look like. Al was spot on and even the voice reminded me of the voice in the anime. Besides Ed, I always loved Colonel Mustang's character. Loved the way he could start a fire by just snapping his fingers. I thought that was pretty cool. Hughes looked exactly like the character in the anime. Great job casting.
I did feel a bit rushed at times with the plot. I know it is a movie and not a show. I kept wanting it to last longer and not end so I kept looking at the time. I definitely think that they should be a part two because there is a lot more stuff that needs to happen.
I do wish that Ed would have showed off more of his abilities though. They really didn't make him do so much at least as much as I would have liked to see.
Music....honestly, I wasn't really paying attention to it.
If they can bring FMA to live...I wonder if someone can please start working on bringing Naruto to life. I think that would be epic.
