Oh my god what a disappointment.. (no factual spoilers)

I haven't seen it yet, but considering what everyone is saying (Besides you, Origins) I don't think I'll be disappointed.

I worked up myself so much(especially in the week coming up to the release) about the film, I probably wouldn't have been happy with the results no matter what Squenix had done with it.

My slight disappointment aside, it was a fine work of eye candy and fighting scenes. The story didn't really hook me (Ghost in the Shell made more sense to me, and that's REALLY saying something).

I give it a:

***

out of five. Extra brownie points for Little Miss Materia. <3

My first post on the forum i thought advent children was good but when it came to the story it was disappointing

they could have done 100 times better than that

good music, fighting scenes good but it took everything out of final fantasy

sephirith was there for about five minutes why they bought him back i don't no

square-enix should stop doing final fantasy sequals

Hey dude..it IS STILL FINAL FANTASY.
Sephiroth is back..becoz they wan sephiroth tocome back..tocontinue the story..coz..the story is not complete..

what can be better than Sephiroth???

A decent Villain?

Example?

Well...for me...nobody can be as good as Sephiroth in FF7 ;)

I agree that it was a disapointment, there was too much action, nice for kids that still luv that stuff, but I wanted more story, and the movie was extended alot ( mainly the ending ) by just mindless action. And the fact that all my favourite FFVII tunes, had a heavy metal remix, nice for some, but I really didnt like it. I do like some of it, the references to the game were cool, I luv that all the characters came back. But Cid should of been in it longer. Even the victory tune on the guys phone was a nice touch.
I'd give it 6/10 maybe 7/10.

I just love how people expected an action movie (sequel to a game filled with battles, no less) to be mostly drama. Did you people really expect a deep profound story, especially when the game had no such thing? Sure it was epic and dramatic, but the game was far from deep and was mostly all about the big fight.

Honestly, I was quite pleased with it. I didn't expect alot going in. But it was definately entertaining. The story-to-action ration was about the same as the game's, just the game was 40-100 hours, while this was an hour and a half. Plus, with what little story they had, they did a good job of bringing out the emotional side of the main characters, most notably Cloud. The other characters didn't have such big roles, but FF7 was all about Cloud anyway. There was time in the game to show backstory with the other characters, not so much time here. Not that big a deal.

For an action movie, I was indeed impressed. For a FF7 movie, I was more impressed. I always found that FF7 lacked any real heart. Where the game excelled in the story area, the movie excels in giving that story some real emotion.

Although I dont like putting them in comparison.
AC is like T3, should never of been made.........

Reading some of the reviews I wonder if you people watched the same movie. Then, I remember what a high pedestal most people put FF7 on, despite how average and uninteresting the majority of the game is. The game itself was mostly pointless battles, surrounding an interesting, but not very compelling storyline. Hell, alot of the main battles you fought had nothing to do with the main storyline. They were there to draw out the story (The Weapons, almost every fight with Shinra).

dont get me wrong sephiroth is cool but i really didnt think there was any point about i.t i mean at the end of the day this was a film made trying to be a final fantasy which it isnt because final fantasy is all about the storys mainly.

i mean where did those three guys come from they didnt even explain anytyhing really it was just watching ff7 as a game but in the end it was alrite

Can someone give me a link to it, I want to see it for myself.

A link to the movie? Sorry, we can't do that here.

just do a google...

THIS MOVIE WAS A VERY... VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!
I was so mad at myself for getting my hopes so high... I actually thought the movie would be on the events in the game... not after.... I really had my hopes up on seeing a movie where they went through the same things in the game........ D4mn it!
