Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible
Review: Greatest movie ever. period.
Many of those people who gave out the three stars either have no idea what theyre talking about or are N. Genesis Evan fans who once again have no idea what theyre talking about.
The story is excellent. The animation in excellent. Better than Princess Mononoke. The music is awesome, I bought the soundtrack, I suggest you do the same. The odd name Belldandy comes from a translation mix up starting with berudandi/verdandi.
The movie is pure genius. oh and for all the people who whine about belldandy being perfect: shes a goddess!!!!!! point made.
so what are you waiting for? Buy this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good, just not 5star good
Review: let me start out by saying this is definitely a chick flick. alot about true love triumphing. the animation is beautiful and the story is pretty good. basically (possible small spoilers) belldandy's old mentor comes back from his lunar prison infects her with a virus in an attempt to take down the goddess system. the other part of the story is that the virus causes belldandy to lose her memory and as keichi tries to win his true love back. there is an awesome fight scene in what looks like a mall where belldandy, skuld, and urd all get to use their powers and the whole scene looks amazing. i can't get over how good the animation is. anyways, nothing really wrong, it just wasn't great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful movie
Review: I loved this movie. We see the maturity of the characters reflected, and Belldandy faces a bit of darkness connected to her past. And it's nice to see in animation form what you see in the current manga with Sculd's character- how she's grown from a kind of bratty kid to a calmer, more mature, but still spirited girl. Another plus is there's also see a bit of Urd in her younger days in this movie. The movie nicely adds a bit more to both Belldandy's and Urd's "backstory"

I've always liked how the three sisters relationship was written in this series. It feels so natural to me, they are close but without it being "sappy". The same goes for Keiichi and Belldandy's relationship.

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific! ^_^
Review: If you're a fan of the Oh!/Ah! My Goddess series, you MUST see this movie. While the series is romantic and cute, the movie has much more action!! You definitely won't get bored watching this! I prefer the movie over the series, it's so much better!

The extras are pretty good as well, especially the Adventures of the Mini-Goddess preview. It's absolutely hilarious!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful!
Review: Gorgeous animation, heartwarming and exciting story, terrific characters, and magnificent voice acting equals a great anime movie!! Yay! Normally I find Anime movies unsatisfying, but this one was truly beautiful. It had everything I wanted: all of the above already mentioned. I really fell in love with the characters. They're just so, pure (well most of them anyway), and they're people you can really admire because they're so unselfish and loving. Belldandy's such a great character, and I like how she's so innocent and no one can corrupt her, even if they try. Though she really has a lot of wisdom too. The movie does a good job of giving equal time to the characters, and allows them to reveal their true selves.

The animation is of highest quality, and really does equal the manga in detail and style. And it's in glorious color. The characters are all so cool! Keichii is such a decent guy, Belldandy is truly a goddess, Urd oozes sex appeal, Skuld is innocently funny, and you even feel sorry for the "bad" guys. This is really a feel-good movie. Everybody cares about each other and love is a real big theme. I love it. It's my only Anime movie DVD, actually - because it deserves to be bought and watched on DVD. Don't dare watch it with worse quality than VHS. I mean it. You'll lose too much.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Slowly paced, needed cultural context.
Review: I think Amazon reviewers are far too generous in their 5-Star reviews. That should be reserved for all time classics like Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The main problem with Ah! My Goddess is the main character, Belldandy, is hard to like (besides having a silly name). She's absolutely perfect and subservient in every possible way. She's too syrupy sweet and meek to build a show around. I'm just not a big fan of romance anime -- with its ankle-length ponytails, 3 foot-long bangs that defy gravity and poofy gowns.

And I'm unfamiliar of the Japanese concept of Heaven, but this show mixes witchcraft, magic, Norse mythology, computer technology and the tradtional Christian belief of Angels. It's never explained why/how each "goddess" has an Angel alter-ego growing out of her back. However, the concept of a technologically driven Heaven is rather interesting (it looks like the White Room from Matrix Reloaded). But this movie is also loaded with a lot of Star Trek Voyager type technobabble. "The LMT is down to 12%!!!"
The last third of the movie is where the real action is and it's stunning to watch -- a real end-of-the-world battle. Action fans should skip ahead or risk being bored to tears. But I found the romance to be trite, teenage, and treacly.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was great
Review: I bought this on an impluse. I had read that it was good through a review. I was a great movie. It made me want to go buy the series. You don't have to see the series to understand the movie, but it might explain more. I would tell anyone that likes anime to get this movie.
