The first 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' movie is a direct adaptation of the eponymous series, containing the events of the first eight episodes while leaving the last four to its sequel. Make no mistake, it is a very good movie. I just don't really see the point of turning a twelve-episode series into a two-installment movie series. From its technical aspects, this movie is excellent. The soundtrack is fantastic, mostly using the excellent pieces from the series with a few new additions. The upgraded visuals are stunning, yet also very familiar; it's basically the same just with a higher budget (unlike, e.g., the Evangelion movies which used a bunch of questionable CGI in addition to the series' cel animation). The direction is also superb, as it already was in the series. From its contents, well, it's just the first eight episodes of the series, streamlining a few parts. I wouldn't say that anything important was left out, though in some scenes I felt like the passing of time was undermined a little. I'm not perfectly sure why you would cut twelve episodes into two movies in an eight-four division instead of six-six, but I'm sure it'll make sense as soon as I've watched the second part. That's the issue, though. The first movie is very much a first part. It ends with a cliffhanger, leaving pretty much all plot points dangling. That is not to say that the ending is unsatisfying or sudden; I would very much say that this is a very good point to stop, basically right after the big 'Holy cow!' revelation of the series (and thus probably the reason for the eight-four split). Just... what's the point of turning twelve episodes into two movies? To be honest, I'd rather have twelve episodes with upgraded visuals rather than two movies; it would be easier to portion, would reflect the passage of time better, and IMHO is just a more sensible approach to split up a long story. I don't think there's much reason for watching both the series and the movies (except for experiencing the story twice), which I find a bit disappointing. Basically, you have to decide if about three-quarters of an hour of left out scenes are worth the downgrade in visuals; the overall story is basically identical. I just don't really see the point of this movie's existence. Still a good movie, though. It just doesn't deliver anything the series didn't already.

As a feature length version of the anime series seen a year previously, the movie hits all the points that it needs, it has a vastly improved animation and art budget, but with it taking a third of the series and compressing that all into a shorter run time, there's going to be a serious amount of character development that is missing or lost. I understand that this is not suited for the regular viewer or the casual viewer, that the vast majority of the audience watching this are going to be the type who have already seen this series and want to see it in a feature. But I do have to judge this based off of the idea of a non-anime fan watching this for the first time. And while every beat is hit, the character interaction and understanding of why Kyoko and Sakura and Sakura's breakdown into a Witch is somewhat rushed and might have an outsider taken out of the movie for that and other scenes. For an anime fan who loves the Shaft style artistry and gorgeous colours, its a definite 10/10 on everything, for those outside it, they will lower the vote depending on what they value more in a story. That's the only reason I put it as a 9/10.

I was dragged into seeing the premiere of this movie by one of my friends without having ever heard of the TV series and without having seen a whole lot of anime, and no anime with English subtitles. I went into the movie with a skeptical attitude, but what I saw over the course of the following five hours was one of the most fascinating and enthralling cinematic experiences I have ever witnessed. Since I don't really have much anime experience to which I can compare this movie, I can't really comment on the specific details. But as a movie buff, I can say that this movie is a spectacle, a monumental achievement in animation which should not be missed.
