    Actually what you said is somewhat a contradiction as strength comes from speed. A large fighter that is around 250+, no matter how much of his body is muscle, will not be able to hit as hard as a person of toned and lean muscle mass despite the lesser size and amount of muscle. a well toned fighter can move much faster, and through that speed use momentum, and agility to transfer strength. Strength itself comes from size, but for it to travel it requires speed, without enough momentum and speed to transfer that strength, it doesnt matter how much muscle mass you have, that mass is useless if you cant apply it.

    Using barbells and other wieghts to do bench presses, curls, shoulder presses, ect has the impact of applying muscle mass from the outside to the body. wearing weighted clothing or strapping weights to the body and doing common movments applies a much more centered resistance. The musicle if facing tension from within at having to move in all directions rather then just having the weight focused in one point.

    So now, imagine having your body weigh more then it usually does, and yet being able to master moving at your regular speed despite the increased weight. Remove the weights, and you will find you can move with greater quickness because your muscles have become more toned and accustomed to moving with more resistance. That is the value of training with weighted equipment and clothing, it increases muscle tone, instead of muscle mass and thus increases your speed and allows you to become much more powerful.

    The AC Version of J-E-N-O-V-A is nice.

    I loved Advent Children. The plot was stupid of course, but who cares? The fight scenes were so damn well done that it doesn't matter. In fact, the plot was offensively stupid, but seriously, it's a movie based on FFVII. If you were expecting a great story you need to re-play FFVII and PAY ATTENTION this time.

    So you have to like a movie who's plot is incredibly [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] and just enjoy the fight scenes?

    This should never have been created, but because of certain posts on here and on other forums, my liking for this movie has gone down the pan because of some half assed people who cannot say anything other then: the fights were cool.

    All great movies need a plot. /rant

    Sometimes to much plot can be a bad thing, take the last 2 matrix movies, and take VII for instance, you could say the plot for that was too much for people, if the plot gets to thick then people stop paying attention, most people still dont understand VII, in which they thought Advent would explain it.

    Advent plot wise is nestled somewhere between Gone with the Wind and Kickboxer, but I liked this movie better than both of those for some reason, I guess im an action nut, and Im fine with that.

    Problem with the last matrix films wasnt too much plot, it was just that the story was so half assed. Neo being held prisoner in Revolutions was a interesting concept that showed that he wasnt as all powerful as we all thought, but the resolution was half assed as hell. In the original script there was a sequence where the Trainman tries to kill neo, morpheus, and trinity as they are trying to make their escape. But it was cut for unknown reasons. Also take into consideration there was so little closure to the whole story, and at three movies you'd expect a bit more other than "the war is over, for now".


    And if your an action nut, go check out lovehkfilm.com for some film reccommendations that make AC look like a drivers ed film. Hard Boiled espescially makes AC look incredibly lame and redundant for both plot, and action.

    I thought it was worth the wait. I first seen a trailer 2 summers ago and I fell in love. It was only a 30 second trailer, then I started collecting any info and trailers I could grab, just to satisfy my lust for it. And I love it. Its sitting beside me right now on my desk and I worship it so much. The animation, the OST, the voice acting, the character design was beyond stunning. Far enough the storyline is meh, but you do follow it, but people mainly focus on the action more then the actual story itself. IMO, better then Spirits Within which was a waste of my time and money.

    Your entitled to your opinion, but can you actually explain WHY you felt it was a masterpiece? To me a masterpiece is a film ANYONE can enjoy. Ive never seen ANYONE watch say, Seven Samurai, or Spirited Away and not be entertained. A masterpiece is a film which really has no discernable flaw. A film which is perfectly written, scripted, filmed, directed, and acted from first reel to finish. Ive gone on at great length in this thread (and others) as too why Advent is hardly a decent film, much less a masterpiece.

    Um Ishin is your lifes goal to piss everyone off. If so good job. And Vyk you are contradicting yourself because reflex and strength are the same.
    FF7 Advent Children was a good ACTION
    movie.
    And stop calling Barret a street thug. You are making me think your rascist. I hope your'e not.
