Seriously, I don't really understand why people complain about this film. Not that it's the best animated film ever made, but it was enjoyable overall. About 70% of the haters are probably FF newbs who were expecting to see Cloud. The movie is based on Final Fantasy. If we don't count FFX-2 and the likes, every game has introduced a new world and set of characters, why should the movie be any different? Then again, most of those newbs expect to see Cloud in every FF. Sorry for the little rant, I just hate it when people don't check their facts. Anyway, I liked the movie a lot. The graphics were spectacular (although nowadays outdated by the likes of AC), the story and characters better than average. It definitely didn't deserve to bomb the way it did. But that's just my humble opinion.
