Thread: Advent Children Review

    Default Advent Children Review

    For fans of the SpoonyOne, we know he is now also on the site of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (AKA the Nostalgia Critic) but also on that site is TheGuyInTheSuade. He did an AC review I just watched.

    FFVII: Advent Children

    My favorite part was the CSI Miami joke.

    This guy is an idiot. I don't care about the movie, but this guy needs a life.

    well at least one thing is true, he didn't get the movie, and obviously didn't understand the plot of the game very well either...

    He has one. He entertains people.

    What's to "get" about the movie? It's terrible. And he did get the game as he liked it... He just thinks the movie is terrible and newsflash, so many, many people. Myself included.
    Whether it's the godawful voice-acting (people think the VAs in 4Kids Yu-Gi-Oh suck but priase this crap?) or the fact we have a movie full of three terrible villains no one cares about, this movie has no redeeming qualities at all.

    I would show you all Spoony's review of FFVII but you'd just whine and say "Sephy doesn't have an Oedipus Complex this guy totally didn't get the game".

    Him entertaining a buch of nerds on the Internet does not equal a life and does not make him less of an idiot. I'm sorry but he's not funny or entertaining.

    Well, outside of not catching the fact that the Rufus reveal at the end was more about Rufus hiding Jenova; I think he got most of the movie and I agree with him on most points especially the bad writing and the fact that the film is more about pan-handling to fans than being about a creative expansion of a good game.

    The "Religion is Good, Cloud is Jeebus" joke had me laughing as well.

    He's cute!

    He has his moments, I think, but the clips of English voice acting make me chuckle the most.

    i think it was ott but a point he made is very true "it would have been easy to do right" just show what the characters from the game have been up to, more locations frm the game and them all coming together. could have been so much better, i still like it but he makes a good point
    ...It is because there is a limit to time that we wish for nights that never dawn.
    Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...
    Remember that well.

    Those had me chuckling too, I had not heard any of the english dialogue until I watched this review. I'm usually skeptical about fans screaming about VA work until I hear it but for once I'm in agreement that the english is pretty bad.

    I agree. I usually can tolerate almost any dub and I hate people who think dubs are inherently bad or inferior but the AC voices were terrible.

    And people have the nerve to call this good while blasting the Yu-Gi-Oh dub. (apart from edits and script rewriting, the voice-acting in the show wasn't bad at all. Ted Lewis was pure awesome as Yami Bakura)

    The Yu-Gi-Oh dub was pretty good imo as well. I felt it was more of the editing and censorship that damaged that show. Course nothing beats this dub

    Indeed. Nothing beats Slifer the Executive Producer and Mega Ultra Chicken.

    But really we could spend all day just rambling off the infinite number of funny quotes in YGO TAS.
    Have yous een the TeamFourStar DBZ Abridged? It's kickass as well.

    Once again, the real problem with it is the fact that it could have been good had it been done right. Wasn't it originally just going to be a 30 minute flick detailing what everyone was doing? Why could that not have been enough? They could have done the battle against Sephiroth as a flashback (like when Cloud battles him in the Lifestream at the very end) to appease the more rabid fans. There was no point in bringing him back or detailing issues that had technically been resolved (poorly) in the original.

    It was just poorly done and I still have major issues with releasing a story that requires an optional book to explain part of the story (Denzel) and another book to explain the villains and the plot (Ultimania).

    I still hold that Last Order is the only good thing to come out of the Compilation.
