Insufficient production budget?

In the first few minutes, before Edward and other protagonists appeared, the film looked like a theatrical version of "Naruto", with a strange feeling that it had nothing to do with the original. After Edward and Al appeared, some memories began to appear. On the way of the train, the music sounded. At first, I felt that the music was not inserted at the right time. It was very abrupt. After listening for more than ten seconds, I recalled some scenes and plots in the original work, and found that the cheerful and joyful mood of the brothers on the journey was matched with this. The relaxing music is just right. Only those who have seen the original can feel the connotation of this film. There are many things that are not shown in this film. For people like me who have seen the original, just click on it. You all know it, but if you see it for the first time, you can't help but be suspicious.
The last theatrical version was about uranium, and this one can only (?) touch on the more interesting sage's stone in steelmaking. Brother, brother and sister. When the Colonel said on the phone, "What a gaffe this is." . . Tsundere~ In this
film, the sage's stone is really flooded. The parents of the brother and sister made a small piece, which was eaten by the elder brother, and finally spit out a small piece; the fake elder brother made a piece, which was swallowed by the younger sister, You can also spit out a small piece. . . The consumption of the small one for more than ten years and the large one for a few hours turned out to be the same. Speaking of massacre, the feeling is really good! This holy place is not very well done. I remember the first season of TV. When Hohenheim was the sage's stone hundreds of years ago, it was also massacred, but the house was preserved; In the second season of TV, it was also hundreds of years ago, when the villain in the bottle made the stone of the sage, it was also massacred, but in the end the body was left behind. I forgot, the houses in the city is to stay. Can this film also be called Slaughter City? It's just the soldiers in the central tower, it's just a small place, but the pipes are really beautiful.
One hour and fifty minutes is a bit long for this film, about an hour and a half, and the next twenty minutes are boring.
Is the production budget insufficient? Most of the picture in the front is a bit rough, and the picture becomes fine at the end, the characters are sharp and angular, and the face in front is just a dough~

Although this film has many shortcomings, it has to be said that for ordinary people, this film is not worth watching; for those who like steel, this film must be watched.
