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.
