FF:VII Advent Children - Opinions Thread

[The Devourer Of Worlds]

Green eggs and ham is a more interesting story then The Crap Within.

Quoted for truth. At least Green Eggs and Ham entertains its target audience; you have to search far and wide for a Final Fantasy fan who enjoyed The Spirits Within. I really have no idea how a movie that seems to do many things right could end up so very, very wrong.

Please keep the discussion about AC, not TSW.

None of the Final Fantasy titles have anything to do with each other either, save the title and a few names and terms, and thats just a technicality. Spirits Within just focused on telling a good story, like all of Sakaguchi's titles.

And honestly, I thought FFVII was a decent enough title. Advent Children, I was entertained initially, than I watched it again and the flaws just kept beating any fondness I might have had from the initial viewing out of me. Poor direction, no plot coherence whatsoever, Deus Ex Machina resolution for all major crisis points (IE Aeries will fix it, she fixes EVERYTHING), characters who rely on gimicks (clouds bike, multi-part sword, tifa's large rack) rather than on actual clever writing to be likeable, I could go on and on.

I didn't say the FF games had anything to do with eachother (minus the cid's, terra's, chocbos, moogles, cactuars, crystals, wedges, biggs, ifrits, shivas, ramuhs, bombs and countless other enemies, names etc.) I was just sayin that FF6 would be awesome as a movie/show/anime.

yea i enjoyed both advent children final order and spirts with in make fun of me if u want and oh ARE WE EVER GONNA GET A DAMN RELEASE date for that movie

[sephiroth the dark angel]

i think they just wanted to make a movie of an ff they haven't made so they invented spirits within

[Oddball19]

I liked the movie in the sense that I found it "cool" but I have to be negative and say it was just something to please the fanboys. Only about 100+ unanswered questions as well from the story.

Who is washington? Is he a young kid in the FFVII game? I can't remember, but he's in the mooovie.

[Russielloyd]

Washington!?, what the hell you talking about, there's no one in the movie or the game by that name.

[Lord Magician]

We are not trying to look for a Masterpiece, or are we?

The movie was great. I say there is a decent amount of plot. The action was awesome. If they made it longer for more plot and action, that would have been a lot better. But overall, they did a great job putting it together. Maybe not the best movie (I think it is the best, since no matter how many times I see it, it is still VERY GOOD). But this movie still deserves a lot of respect.

[Setzer Gabianni]

Probably, graphically wise anyway.

Action wise as well, seeing as over the top stuff is what FF is made of xD

[liquidultima]

oh yeah, not washington, lol, i mean Denzel ... sorry (see how i got mixed up?) Mmmm...

Who was Denzel in the game?

[tifastrife]

i loved the movie the fights were the best part of the film

[Russielloyd]

Denzel wasn't in the game. Well technically he is but you never see him.
