THE BEST VIDEO GAME MOVIE EVER -Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva 

How can a movie with where a British gentleman who is basically a mix of Phoenix Wright, Indiana Jones and Hercule Poirot have a sword fight with a venetian masked badass on a giant steampunk robot not be good?

ARE YOU NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE SOUNDTRACK

yes luke, this is a well made video.

Layton’s hat is magic, that’s why it stays on his head. Also, Emmy kicking everyone’s ass is the best thing ever

I've never played any of these games, but Grosky is my favorite now

Whenever someone says that all video game movies are bad I show them The Eternal Diva

Plot twist Layton’s hat was hot glued on his head the whole time

Nice to see people talking about Layton and his baddassery

Seeing all those puzzles from Last Spectre was like me going "fuuuuck i remember that one....... I hated that one" Great video man!

And - *oh me God winter Layton is adorablE-*

Finally, someone actually acknowledges the greatness (and existence) of this movie. It is, and probably always will be, one of my all time favorite movies - and it's a video game movie! The only thing that actually bothers me a bit is the plot holes... At least it's loyal to the games

Layton's hat stays on because of the power of time travelling love!

Good to know someone else enjoys this movie as much as I do. You’re review hit all the points I liked about this film: puzzles, adventure, Grotsky, and the completely crazy stuff that’s usually on par for a Layton game. I hope you keep up the good work and that your channel gets many more subscribers!

1:47 A wild Stachenscarfen appeared!

ok emmy has three minutes of focused screentime and most of it is her kicking ass

This is actually a great video, really well made and showing off indeed one of the best video game movies ever. When i saw the video i thought this guy has to have like atleast 20K subs, but i was very suprised to see a guy with 77 subs put such dedication in a video like this. Bravo sir.

I really Want the whole Layton series done as a movie in this Art Style 🥲

This movie is one of my favorite video game movies along with Pokemon movies and that it's also cannon in the series taken after The Last Specter.

He says "there is a lot of cgi" Me: YEAH BUT THAT CGI DIDNT BURNT MY EYES...

Now that you bring it to light, there is so much I didn't question in this movie solely because I have played the games before.

As always, they don't give Flora the love she deserves

If i remember this film is tied into the final game

Don’t make fun of Luke! PS: Awesome video honestly

Professor Layton is the best Game-Series °^°

with what you were saying about descole - i remember that when this film was actually released it was actually just before the third game released here in Europe so I feel like his entire entrance confused everyone when it released

Indiana Jones: British Edition

When the opra house turned into a whole ass ship!! I’m shooketh!!!

Why does noone ever talk about how when Layton figures out the puzzle he just like... lets everyone who didn't get it die? He's just complicit in what he at the time assumes to be a murder killing people, as he never is privy to the information that they're not being murdered. though with the end of the third game, civilian murder is just one of those things in the series as well

The fact that they knew better than to make a live action movie makes me so happy, so many adaptations make that mistake

I watched this movie in between playing Unwound Future and Last Specter, so I completely agree with the confusion in Descole's appearance. However, I feel like it also worked in a way. His dramatic reveal was my first big introduction, and that was neat. And Luke already knowing who he is, I mean, it'd make sense that he and Layton have more enemies. So, it wasn't too hard to swallow. Of course, I had my big "Ohhh" moment when I finally got the next game. Also yeah this was my least favorite Emmy voice, but eh, she's not in it that much anyway. 10/10 would puzzle again

I think the difference between this movie and a lot of other video game movies is that this one is actually part of the Layton canon-it happens between the events of the second and third games of the prequel trilogy, and the events of the movie are actually referenced in The Azran Legacy. Edit: whoops, wrong games, and I commented this before I finished the video-he actually mentions this point, to some extent

It’s a sin that this film and the series as a whole is so unknown Also I love how this film is canon to the game series and arguably the best part professor Layton series, AND IT EVEN ISNT A GAME.

Well spoken, and makes for an excellent case to see the movie! Crying shame that the sequel never came to pass. Also, I've been on RU-vid long enough to witness the start and subsequent growth of a ton of small channels. And so many talented friggin people just hang up and abandon ship when they aren't met with an immediate wave of praise. Don't let the low view/sub counts deter you from continuing. If you're giving it your all, eventually people will notice and overnight you'll have an audience. But don't even do it for the audience--do it for YOU, baby. Do it to learn about video editing, and the crazy stuff you make will only get crazier. Do it to develop your voice, your style; that's not repeating the trends of your predecessors and blazing a trail to new perspectives. Do it to learn, and then master, and then be able to educate. Do it because _you _*_love_*_ this shit._

How did his hat stay on all night? Even the wind wouldn't dare question the Professor's status as a gentleman.

**how is his hat still on?** hat pins.

Don't question the logic of the Hat.

"where their evil captor's set up a picnic for them." I mean *spoilers* brother is in that crowd and he's gotta show he cares somehow.

Every "yes Luke" made me laugh harder

Thank you so much for talking about this movie, it is seriously under appreciated. An awesome review; I really liked your little bit there with Luke 😁Thanks again, amazing work!👍🏻😊

The entire plot of this movie is that a lost civilization waits for their queen to return to them reincarnated, it almost happens, then she dies, but then she's reborn again and it happens for real...then she dies again. But like, mentally. Not spiritually. I fucking love the writing in this series.

"That's NOT a puzzle!" 😂

Legends say that Flora is still waiting on Tower Bridge

I finally watched this movie since I just decided to play the entire Professor Layton series for the first time and yea this movie is really good. I also like that its canon to the games. I was really confused playing Miracle Mask at the end when Targent boss talks about a city of Harmony.

10:29 guest appearance of our beloved cursor. What a day to be alive and graced by the holy pointer of scene switching. 12:40 AND AGAIN, WE ARE PRESENTED WITH THE HOLY PIXEL CONGLOMERATE OF OUR SELECTING OVERLORD.

wont give away puzzle answers but gives away huge plot twists... fair enough

I'm not even going to lie, this movie (alongside the Phoenix Wright crossover game) got me into the professor layton franchise. See, playing the crossover confused me a lot because I didn't really know much about the world of Layton, so I did some digging. A video with the entirety of eternal diva popped up, and i decided that was the best way to get to know the characters. I watched the movie, and then became enthralled with this new world that had opened up to me. And then I fell into fandom hell. While still in the Ace Attorney fandom hell. High school got interesting for me. Now that I'm out of high school and still casually enjoy the stories and games, I can fondly look back on this movie (and remember why I love the dramatically masked science man so much).

Don't let Fabian see this video. He loves the Mortal Kombat movies and will tear you a new one.

I love this movie, along side tamagotchi the movie, animal crossing the movie, sonic and megaman's ovas, detective pikachu, fatal fury, fire emblem and the new sonic movie (just to name a few)

Descole: Ambrosia is mine and mine alone!! Me and a friend: Calm down Descole, we know how much you love your custard. (If u don’t get the joke there is a product called : Ambrosia Devon Custard)

I’m happy to see I’m not the only one who enjoyed this underrated movie! Originally I had watched it with very little knowledge of Professor Layton. That little knowledge being you could play the game on the ds. I fell in love with this movie and it made me want to play the games and get myself into the series. I have always been attracted to puzzle games, but games with more of a story. Like I know there’s brain age but.... that’s kind of boring. This movie was amazing even though I didn’t know some of the characters that well and overall from an outsiders perspective was a great adaptation.

I got this when it came out on DVD its amazing, the story is intriguing and fits beautifully into the series between the spectre's call and the miracle mask.

We👏need👏another👏Layton👏movie👏

This video game series is a great movie while no one talks about.

this film was huge in my childhood, i have a some fond memories with it. Thanks for reviewing it it really is an underrated film lol

Hoodlie: how did has hat not fall off Layton: because a gentleman never takes it off

I love how you narrate! this was so funny, and so great. I loooove love love love proffesor layton

That 'clocktower' is Big Ben which is probably the most famous uk/London clocktower in the houses of Parliament lol and the bridge where prof is on after is the tower bridge

I dunno why, the puzzle theme, both in the game and in the movie, gives me a mixture feeling of suspense, mysteriousness, and goosebumps

Instant sub just for noticing this movie. I will stay subbed because this was a good, well-edited video, and you should have more subs.

OMG YES! MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS FILM! This was my introduction to Professor Layton and I loved it. You got a new sub can't wait to watch more of your stuff

I agree, this is one of the best videogame movies ever made, and the fact that it is canon to the overall story (being placed between Last Specter and Miracle Mask, with the latter even making references to the movie) makes it even better in my opinion (even if you criticised it for it)

It's one of the only video game movies that make sense

I showed the film to my best friend, and now he can’t stop going on about it he loved it so much 😁😳

Great video! I always loved this movie, not sure I’ll ever forgive it for the accent it gave Emmy tho

"A British puzzle solving archeologist is having a sword fight on top of a giant robot." Yeah that sounds about right.

Haha Prof.Layton IS SECRETLY A FENCING PROFESHINAL

When all else fails, giant robots are the trump card to end all trump cards.

y e s l u k e, t h i s i s a m o v i e

Hmm Layton’s hat is literally magic

Profesor Layton is such a gem

We only see Flora once in the movie, which I’ve gotta say is pretty accurate to the games

I watched the movie today on RU-vid and it really is a master piece. Definitely the best movie based on a gaming franchise ever made.

I think the difference between eternal diva and other video game movies is that it doesn’t just copy the story of the first game, it adds to the story of the prequels. Also, it involves the gameplay in the movie itself.

I can’t tell you how hard this made me cry, it was incredible! And all those twists and puzzles were amazing! I seriously can’t stop thinking about this movie and series in general!

I got the DVD and it's just so underrated 😭😭

YESSSSSS FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS THIS!!!!!!!

a someone who has never played a professor layton game (unless you count the ace attorney crossover) i just recently watch the movie and seeing the some of the stuff was weird but also accepted.

I remember seeing this after playing some of the games and being like, "A good video game based movie, IT'S A MIRACLE!"

LAYTON, TAKE OFF YOUR HAT! YOU’RE BLOCKING THE VIEW OF EVERY ROW BEHIND YOU

6:32 those were coins? I've never played Unwound Future and I thought those were popcorn shells or something!

Please do a video on the craziness that was Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright

Thank you for reminding of this fantastic movie. Great video!

This turned out just how I thought it would after reading your script, good stuff man :)

Dude this was a really great video. I enjoyed it. Props

Just found this and I'm so happy to know other people love this movie, because it wasn't much talked about in my country. I have to say one of the greatest aspects of the movie is the soundtrack, as it is in the other Layton games. Including an opera singer and the mythic songs was a great thing about the movie.

I loved that movie so much as a child and it’s one of my favorite movies of all time

THANK YOU!! I think I've seen this movie about 10 times and it's seriously so good, and also the soundtrack is gorgeous

Him: and then this happens RU-vid: plays advertisement

Always good to see people appreciate TRUE art.

"Ma-Jan-La-Nice." XD

I'm convinced that Layton uses some really strong wig glue to keep his hat in place

Why does this not have more views?

This is my faveroite movie of all time. I have all the games and I just ordered the movie of ebay and it should be here on friday. I have seen it before but just realised it wasnt just a digital release. I got the english version for 1.99

they really did flora dirty, we rarely see her in action properly and she is always with the professor because its part of the will.

It was so good - i was skeptical at first but so worth the time watching

Yes Luke, This review does remind me of a puzzle.

Great video on a fantastic film! This probably is the best video game movie. Bayonetta: Bloody Fate is an awesome adaptation of the game and its been a long time since I've seen it but I watched the Animal Crossing anime film with English subs and I remember that being good.

I really love this video, great job👍🏽😍

I’ve always wanted to check out the Professor Layton games but uhhhh I’m not to great at puzzle games unless it involves falling blocks (Tetris) or pushing blocks (Catherine). I think this movie would be a great way to experience the series for dummy’s like me.

thank you so so much for this. If it wasn't for your video, I probably never would have known that this movie exits
