ok i am just bored so i dicided to this about the movie pack
FIRST PACK 1-4
EP1-EN001 : THEINEN THE GREAT SPHINX -well this sphinx monster is pretty
great although summoning him is not that easy beacause you
can not just sacrifice three monsters, you have to special
summon him to the field by paying 500 life points when both
"andro sphinx" and "sphinx teleia" are destroyed AT THE SAME
TIME so just activate cards like "dark hole" or other magics
and traps that can send two or more monsters to the grave
yard then you can just palce him on the field grom your HAND
or your DECK too.when you think to it, it is worth it mostly
because if u succeed on special summoning him properly
then you could just pay 500 lifepoints to increase his attack by
a holly 3000.Athough this monster is not undefetable because
no monster is undefetable, cards like "mirror force", "dark hole"
and other magics,traps, and effect monsters can just finish
him off.Oh this important you can not use cards like "monster
reborn" to bring this card back from the graveyard to the field
for the above is and will be the only way he can be summoned.
this is the normal atck and defense, use equips to make his
ataxk and defense even greater.

EP1-EN002 : ANDRO SHINX- Another sphinx monster and he can be
summoned easier than THEINEN THE GREAT
SHINX for u can set and then activate "PYRAMID
OF LIGHT" and pay 500 lifepoints to special
summon this card. He can not be normal
summoned or set.Also u cant special summon
him from the grave yard too.some thing cool
about this card is that when he destroys a
defense position monster, half of that monsters
defense is taken away from ur opponents life
points. its pretty cool.
here is the original attack

EP1-EN003 : SPHINX TELEIA- she has the same effect as ANDRO
SPHINX eccept for the atack and defense.
here is the original attack and defense
ATK/2500 DEF/3000 10 stars,light,beast
EP1-EN004 : RARE METAL DRAGON
This card is 4 stars but it has an incredabile attack of 2400.
It is not very easy to summon this dragon bacause its effect
is that u cant normal summon or set this card. It means that
u have to special summon it.Use cards like "magic jammer"
and "tribute to the doomed" and "raiegki

EP1-EN005 : PETEN THE DARK CLOWN-
this card is my least favourite from the cards 1-8
because peten has a low attack and a an ok defense
and his effect is that when destroyed u can remove him from
the graveyard to special summon another peten dark clown
from your HAND or DECK.His effect can be usefull if u have
more than one peten dark clown in your main deck.This effect
is good sometimes,see if ur opponent attacks and destroys
ur peten and ends hi/her turn, then remove the destroyed
peten from the grave yard (removed from play) and special
summon another peten from your hand or deck. if used at
a good time and you have a good monster in your hand of
5 stars and more then you can tribute summon and turn the
duel around.

EP1-EN006 : FAMILIAR KNIGHT-
this card has an ok attack and defense but has a good effect
for if this card is destroyed and sent to the grave yard as a
result of battle each player can special summon one 4 stars
monster card from their hand. This effects works very good
with the card above # 004 and it is " RARE METAL DRAGON"
since rare metal dragon can not be normal summoned it is
a good combo to use these cards together.I guess they
were designed to work together.

EP1-EN007 : INFERNO TEMPEST-
Ok this one of the most strongest most powerfull magic cards
ever.This is what it does, when you get life point damage of
3000 from ONE ATTACK then you can activate this card to
REMOVE ALL MONSTERS EACH PLAYERS DECKS AND GRAVE
YARDS FROM PLAY.so it doesnt just sends them to the grave
yard but it removes them from play.Good thing is that it does
not remove monsters on the field from play.It works well with
the next card I am going to write which is # 008.
quick play spell card

EP1-EN008 : RETURN FROM THE DIFFERENT DIMENSION
This card as I said before,it works good with INFERNO TEMPEST.
well this card returns AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE OF MONSTERS
THAT WERE REMOVED FROM PLAY TO YOUR SIDE OF THE FIELD.
ok you get all exited that you can return AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
from play to your side of the field, when generally
you can have only 5 slots of monsters in the monsters card zone.
ok I know its not funny sooo. it works and just like I said before
they designed these cards to work together.They designed
these cards in america for the movie and they they took
konami japan "ok" word for the cards and I cant believe
konami japan said ok because the cards are very complex.
I like some of them but oh man the rest is so complex.
If you guys have any notes comments corrections or any
other thing you wanna say then feel free to say so because I
am sure people like 2stardragon and other people too will
write something to correct me so I am done. laaaaaaater.

The movie pack cards have being well known for quite awhile now. I don't see how those 3 cards will work with Rare Metal Dragon though. Magic Jammer is used to negate and destroy a Magic card activation by discarding 1 card from the hand to the Graveyard. Tribute to the Doomed destroys a monster on your opponent's side of the field and is also activated by discarding a card from your hand to the Graveyard. Raigeki destroys all monsters on your opponent's side of the field, a really broken card that can give you a 2-5 field advantage, and deserves to be on the Ban List. I'm guessing with Magic Jammer or Tribute to the Doomed, you would be sending Rare Metal Dragon to the Graveyard, then Special Summon it with cards like Monster Reborn, but really, why waste a Monster Reborn on an effectless 2400 ATK monster when you can use it on something better like Jinzo, Chaos Emperor Dragon (if it's already being Special Summoned properly during the duel, it can be reborned), The End of Anubis, Exiled Force, Tribe-Infecting Virus, and more. The better ways we have of bringing out Rare Metal Dragon to the field in English are Marauding Captain and Familiar Knight's effect. In Japan, they can also use the cards Soul Line (Eng. Soul Rope [using the anime translation]), Ambush, and Monster Relief.

hey i dont have the next card 9-12 but i know what they are
blue eyes shining dragon,watapon,dark sorcerer of magic, and magicians valkyria
ok the normal way to summon blue eyes shining dragon is to have 3 blue eyes and a plymirization and a blue eyes ultimate dragon (not in english yet)
and the BESD it self.this process cant be done beacause of no BEUD in english yet.but i know this from the PC GAME yugioh power of chaos: kaiba the revenge.kaiba summons cyber stein to activate his effect and pay 5000 life points to special summon any fusion monster from your fusion deck to the field. then you could just offer BEUD as atribute to special summon BESD.

Here's another thing you can do with easily Special Summoning Thienen the Great Sphinx. Get Pyramid of Light active on the field, then pay 500 Life Points each to Special Summon both Andro Sphinx and Sphinx Teleia, then play Heavy Storm, Mystical Space Typhoon (Emergency Provisions is another good choice after the Bans, since MST will be restricted to 1, and you gain 1000 Life Points) to destroy your own Sphinx monsters and remove them from the game. Since they were destroyed at the same time, you can now Special Summon Thienen the Great Sphinx from your hand or Deck. If you happen to have Return from a Different Dimension set from the turn before (and provided you use MST, not Heavy Storm to destroy all your own Magic/Trap cards), you can activate it to bring back Andro Sphinx and Sphinx Teleia to the field as well. Don't worry about Mirror Force unless you're playing in a Non-Ban Format Tournament.

I prefer a Holy Selket Beast Deck that uses Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in it's Fusion Deck in bringing it out. Note that these are in Japan only right now.
Holy Selket Beast (Eng. Anime: Mystical Beast of Serket)
6 Star/Earth/Fairy/2500 ATK/2000 DEF
If a [Pharaoh's Shrine] isn't on your Field, this card is destroyed. For each Monster that this card destroys as a result of Battle, the destroyed Monster is removed from the game, and increase this card's ATK by 500.
Ultra Rare
Pharaoh's Shrine (Eng. Anime: Temple of the Kings)
Continuous Magic Card
This card's controller can activate Trap cards during the turn they are Set. Also, you can send this card and [Holy Beast Selket] on the Field to the Graveyard to choose 1 Monster card in your hand, Deck or Fusion Deck, and Special Summon it.
Ultra Rare
So basically, while Pharaoh's Shrine is on the field, you can either have Holy Selket Beast on the field destroying monsters and getting stronger, or send both to the Graveyard to Special Summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from the Fusion Deck to the Field. Cyber-Stein I believe is overrated, since there are lots of counters against it now, such as Magic Cylinder, Ring of Destruction, Waboku and so on. 5000 Life Points is a hefty Life Point cost, and unless your opponent has a clear field, he/she can activate 1 of those cards to counter BEUD's attack and really mess you up.

I'm surprised you think Peten the Dark Clown is a sucky card, while Inferno Tempest you consider as 1 of the best from the Movie Pack. Most Yu-gi-oh experts would think the opposite, and here is Jaelove's review of Peten the Dark Clown.
Rated For: Any Deck Imaginable, namely Exodia, Tribute-Heavy
Instead of naming him the Dark Clown, they should have named this card "Peten the Versatile". Or maybe "Peten V. Clown". Because versatile is his middle name. This guy fits into Exodia decks, tribute-heavy decks, and every other form of deck imaginable. There's a complicated saga regarding his effect (related to the Japanese Gilfar Demon ruling; e-mail me for more info) but let's hope Konami doesn't mess up. If we're lucky, this guy will be able to combo with Card Destruction, Morphing Jar, Cannon Soldier, Tribe-Infecting Virus and many, many more cards. If we're not lucky, he won't be able to combo with any discard cost that immediately results in an effect (i.e the aforementioned cards). Regardless, he's still clearly the most reliable form of deck-thinning, making the veritable troop dragon obsolete in all but Dark Paladin decks.
Advantage F/H: There are currently about 2-3 commonly played cards in the game that will prevent his effect. They are Magical Scientist, D.D Warrior Lady, and Nobleman of Crossout. That's it. This guy will provide defense against Raigeki, Dark Hole, attacks, Torrential Tribute, etc. Great way to bait out foolish over-extension (i.e. first-turn Raigeki) by your opponent? You bet. Great opening turn drop, second to maybe WOTBF and Sangan? Got it. Guaranteed tribute fodder for your Airknight/Jinzo/Ha Des/Guardian Sphinx? Yes sir. Guaranteed dark monster in the graveyard at your WHIM? Definitely. The advantage potential of this card is tremendous. He's like a scapegoat; he'll almost always lead to "passive" field advantage. 7.5/10.

Best Draw for the Situation: You don't want to draw two in your opening hand. However, if you have even one in play, you can basically guarantee that the other two will come out in short order. The list of combos that bring this guy out are tremendous (including Painful Choice). A true stud when you need a defensive wall, a form of guaranteed protection for a turn or two, or when you need tribute fodder. 7/10.
Attributes/Effect: After WOTBF and Sangan (definite A BAD System 9.0+/10 monster "staples" this is the best form of deck-thinning in the game, period. Yes, you heard me correctly. Decks such as Exodia that REQUIRE deck-thinning will fall in love with this card. He's also a dark; this will help him with the Crush Card in the future. This guy is an absolute stud in the right type of deck. Best deck-thinning/tribute fodder/monster presence/monster form of protection in the game equals a 9/10.
Dependability: As stated before, only two to three cards can disrupt this man's dependability. A 90 percent success rate of deck-thinning, his main purpose, is 9/10.
The Bottom Line: Don't be short-sighted and ignore the incredible variety of Peten V. Clown's uses.
A BAD Score: A well deserved 32.5/40= 81/100
Cards it combos with: Painful Choice, Graceful Charity, Crush Card, Torrential Tribute, Tribute Monsters (after Peten resolves)
Cards it combos with if we're lucky: Magic Jammer, Dark Core, Raigeki Break, Card Destruction, Morphing Jar, Tribe-Infecting Virus, and so on.

Now Jaelove's review of Inferno Tempest.
Rated For: Burner Deck
This card is the equivalent of a one-trick pony. It's really a gimmick card that relies on some farfetched concoctions to successfully utilize. Perhaps the most reliable trick is to combo it in conjunction with Lava Golem. Let them attack you, trigger this card. Great, right? Of course it's much more difficult in practice. You're going to need a full fledged burner for this card to be effective at all. Let's check it out.
Advantage F/H: Any card that serves one highly specialized, restrictively situational purpose, and serves no use in any other function whatsoever does not provide any form of advantage. Therefore, such cards should not be used. Of course, the tremendous advantage gained by successfully pulling this one off gives it half a point. 0.5/10.

Best Draw for the Situation: As I said, any card that serves only one purpose is not a card that provides advantage. The corollary is that you don't want to draw cards with no advantage to them. Perhaps this will work with Lava Golem, but that's about it. 0.5/10.
Attributes/Effect: This card is one of a kind. It's the only card in the game that possesses such an effect. Of course it deserves a perfect score in an Inferno Tempest deck, so I suppose I'd be rating the Inferno Tempest deck itself. Unfortunately, the triggering of this card is near impossible, making the deck itself worthless. 0/10.
Dependability: In a word, no. 0/10.
The Bottom Line: The point isn't to assail creativity/originality. Unfortunately, the main problem with my reviewing system is that it's geared towards competitive play. Therefore, "cool" cards such as this one suffer mightily.
A BAD Score: 1/40= 2/100
If you want to use this card correctly in a casual format:
You're going to need Lava Golems, probably. You're going to be running a burner deck, or possibly even incorporate Monday's Return from a Different Dimension. The goal is to take 3000 damage, then burn your opponent down using spell cards (since most trap burn cards are based on opponent's monsters). Of course the build is weak, but I'm sure it'll be fun. Typical burn cards include: Poison of the old man, wave motion cannon, ookazi, tremendous fire, and others. Also include standard burn cards and monster removal (in case they have numerous monsters in hand at time of activation). Good luck.

You can't make everything in 1 full post, due to text space. Anyways, I assume you're lazy and don't like to read. Read all those things and you would see how Peten the Dark Clown is a good card, and Inferno Tempest is a bad card.
