THE BEST VIDEO GAME MOVIE EVER -Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 เม.ย. 2018
- There is a seemingly bottomless list of infamous movies based off of a video game or a video game series. It doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon, either, with the recent Tomb Raider and upcoming Rampage. So I want to show everyone a little-known film based on the Professor Layton series that is actually an amazing animated adventure!!

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?
No idea. How?
@@HoodlieRPG by making it live action

That's one way to put it

A Venetian masked badass who turns out to be said British gentleman’s brother
ARE YOU NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE SOUNDTRACK
JustAPotota 54 Considering this video is almost half a year old at this point... no. I did write about it in the script, but my recording screwed up and I didn’t have time to re-record the line.
Yes, the soundtrack is beautiful.
@@rain.620 professor layton games have the best soundtrack in the world
Marshdoggo likes sushi Aggreed, Level-5 deserves to get award for best soundtrack.
YES this movie has the best soundtrack among the series the remix’s are great the orchestral vibe is just so elegant
yes luke, this is a well made video.
A well made video?
kanashimy key my friend Luke is wrong again this is more than a well made video this is a doge level quality of video aka this video is incredibly well written and has a great sense of humor and is just fun to watch
Yes Luke, this joke is overdone.
Yes Luke, this video is basically a monotonous narration of the whole movie with nothing new to add except the title.
Layton’s hat is magic, that’s why it stays on his head. Also, Emmy kicking everyone’s ass is the best thing ever
Whenever someone says that all video game movies are bad I show them The Eternal Diva
Good on you.
I've never played any of these games, but Grosky is my favorite now
I don't know where or how i saw it, but I thought you said he was your favorite color and i was?? really confused??
You need to play these games. A lot of GameStop’s carry them
@@creation1233 I don’t have a ds and I can’t get one. I am waiting for them to come out on mobile. 😩
@@professorlayman523 If you haven't got the info yet, THEY ARE ON MOBILE.... welp, at least the first three games of the series
And I do believe it was on mobile already when you post this comment five months ago
@@suzumeko7 I was referring to the prequel trilogy
And - *oh me God winter Layton is adorablE-*
Nice to see people talking about Layton and his baddassery
And they think Kingsman embodies the true gentlemen. They know nothing lol
Plot twist Layton’s hat was hot glued on his head the whole time
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
Seeing all those puzzles from Last Spectre was like me going "fuuuuck i remember that one....... I hated that one"
Great video man!
Kinda Drake Thank you kindly. Out of curiosity, how did you find this video?
Popped up in my recommended
@@KindaDrake but hey. that reminds me of a puzzle
That fucking sliding puzzle right? I love almost everything about the layton series, and that puzzle is the reason i have to add 'almost' to that statement.
Kinda Drake the spectres call (as it’s called In the uk) puzzles were quite difficult for me aswell
I got the DVD and it's just so underrated 😭😭
Mr. Banana Bread I know. No idea why, though.
Layton's hat stays on because of the power of time travelling love!

Claire...
1:47 A wild Stachenscarfen appeared!
HOLY- I NEVER NOTICED
Really lol
I really Want the whole Layton series done as a movie in this Art Style 🥲
That would be awesome, I hope if the new game sells well they consider that
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!
ok emmy has three minutes of focused screentime and most of it is her kicking ass
He says "there is a lot of cgi"
Me: YEAH BUT THAT CGI DIDNT BURNT MY EYES...
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.
Druiette Thanks. Although... that’s, uh... way too much praise for my videos. If you wanna see a channel more fitting of 20k subs, check out GamerThumbTV.
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
@@Zeldinion I know, but in the intro you see her and Layton and Luke leave her behind again
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.
... oh, right, I guess those kind of count as video game movies.
Hoodlie I don’t really count them. They’re more of an anime continuation than video game movies.
the pokemon anime doesn't count, unless it's origins. the anime is a base, rather than just the game, as pokemon won't probably be nearly as popular without the anime reinforcing the game. because of that, the mistake of which is based off which appears. as for the eternal diva, if you played the games you'll know that they don't leave you on cliffhangers, they use teasers that are unlocked by playing the previous game and entering the code after finishing it. the movie was teased in the last specter, namely, the helicopter scene.
Professor Layton is the best Game-Series °^°
Yes I Totally agree
Agreed
Preach!
Don’t make fun of Luke!
PS: Awesome video honestly
I'll stop making fun of him when he stops stating the obvious. Thanks!
@@HoodlieRPG At least he doesn't act like tomb raider..
If i remember this film is tied into the final game
According to the timeline, it takes place between The Last Specter and Miracle Mask. The final game was Azran Legacy, which was the final game in the prequel trilogy. So... in a way, kind of.
If you open the hidden door feature in The Last Spector(using the code from Miracle Mask) it shows concept art of this movie...
Indiana Jones: British Edition
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
I get how that feels. I watched this before I played the game Descole debuts in, so I was completely lost.
I kinda liked it. Made Descole a little more mysterious
When the opra house turned into a whole ass ship!! I’m shooketh!!!
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 TH-cam 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._
Place Placington ... there was supposed to be a sequel? Maybe it was converted into the Anime staring the Professor’s daughter?
Also... um, thank you, but... I’m already doing all that. That’s why I’m still making videos.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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
Don't question the logic of the Hat.
**how is his hat still on?**
hat pins.
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
The fact that they knew better than to make a live action movie makes me so happy, so many adaptations make that mistake
Don't let Fabian see this video. He loves the Mortal Kombat movies and will tear you a new one.
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 swear on my life it was "Spectres Call" but I guess that thats the Mandela effect. (Minus alternate realities
@The Multicolored Cuck oh I get ya
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.
Professor Layton is a whole other world. I was never a puzzle head, but Professor Layton had a tremendous influence on my childhood. The PL saga is honestly such a masterpiece.
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!👍🏻😊
How did his hat stay on all night? Even the wind wouldn't dare question the Professor's status as a gentleman.
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.
This video game series is a great movie while no one talks about.
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)
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.
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 wheezing
"That's NOT a puzzle!" 😂
I love how you narrate! this was so funny, and so great. I loooove love love love proffesor layton
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.
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.
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'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).
Hoodlie: how did has hat not fall off
Layton: because a gentleman never takes it off
wont give away puzzle answers but gives away huge plot twists... fair enough
Every "yes Luke" made me laugh harder
Great video! I always loved this movie, not sure I’ll ever forgive it for the accent it gave Emmy tho
THANK YOU!! I think I've seen this movie about 10 times and it's seriously so good, and also the soundtrack is gorgeous
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.
Yes, I know. This was, like, my fifth video and I didn't notice the cursor.
@@HoodlieRPG its aight, praise the cursor.
Haha Prof.Layton IS SECRETLY A FENCING PROFESHINAL
Thank you for reminding of this fantastic movie. Great video!
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.
Dude this was a really great video. I enjoyed it. Props
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
Legends say that Flora is still waiting on Tower Bridge
the funny thing is that she is on the castle
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!
It's one of the only video game movies that make sense
"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.
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 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)

* pulls out sword *
0-0
This turned out just how I thought it would after reading your script, good stuff man :)
Thanks. I appreciate you looking the script over.
I really love this video, great job👍🏽😍
When all else fails, giant robots are the trump card to end all trump cards.
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
They really introduced a new character to be a major player and just left them in Dropstone for half a game.
YESSSSSS FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS THIS!!!!!!!
Him: and then this happens
TH-cam: plays advertisement
Wait, what? I’m not in the partner program. Are they seriously playing ads to make more money?
I watched the movie today on TH-cam and it really is a master piece. Definitely the best movie based on a gaming franchise ever made.
I showed the film to my best friend, and now he can’t stop going on about it he loved it so much 😁😳
We👏need👏another👏Layton👏movie👏
P0ke / Aeterna Games I think we’re getting an anime starring his daughter, if that helps.
@@HoodlieRPG that anime is already out, but it just tells the same story as the mobile game afaik
Hmm Layton’s hat is literally magic
Hmm yes good point
LAYTON, TAKE OFF YOUR HAT! YOU’RE BLOCKING THE VIEW OF EVERY ROW BEHIND YOU
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!"
I dunno why, the puzzle theme, both in the game and in the movie, gives me a mixture feeling of suspense, mysteriousness, and goosebumps
You, sir, caused me to burst out laughing multiple times throughout this video! Great content
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 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.
Oh, I'm watching the movie right now! And it's great) I instantly fell in love with the animation. So simple, but so atmospheric. The soundtrack is amazing, no doubt. A really interesting plot, in it's own way, too. And the characters are really nice and likeable.
"Ma-Jan-La-Nice." XD
I loved that movie so much as a child and it’s one of my favorite movies of all time
"A British puzzle solving archeologist is having a sword fight on top of a giant robot."
Yeah that sounds about right.
SPOILERS
with his long lost brother dressed as a “Victorian coat hanger” who’s secretly also an archaeologist and has gone mad over the years, seeking revenge for, and later against, his kidnapped father, who is also an archaeologist. Quite the family.
@@addisonhorsell5544 Victorian coat hanger!!! 🤣🤣
@@billystokes3917 I can’t take credit I saw it on a meme 🤣
You really deserve more subscribers
thank you so so much for this. If it wasn't for your video, I probably never would have known that this movie exits
great review
It was so good - i was skeptical at first but so worth the time watching
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'm convinced that Layton uses some really strong wig glue to keep his hat in place
Always good to see people appreciate TRUE art.
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.
Yes Luke, This review does remind me of a puzzle.
