Quick and simple: The characters other than Amuro and Char are annoying and pointless. The introduction of new characters especially the new girl drove me crazy. There simply wasn't a need for them and, in the end, no one cares about them. The story doesn't flow well but that plauged the original gundam as well and by the end it all makes sense so I guess I can say it works in a way. The most important part of the movie is the conclusion between Amuro and Char. It delivers and is worth it completely. If you are into there rivalry between them there isno doubt that you need to watch this movie. I believe it could have been far more epic if they focused more on Amuro and Char but when it did it was great. Oh yeah, also the ending is satisfying so no worries there. Watch it!
