Why hate on Spirits Within?

[SoulTaker*]

It would have been better if they had some form of magic, summon, sword, or even a freaking chocobo. Dead whale ghosts arent scary, I felt nothing for the characters, no deep love story, and I dont even like love stories. Their wasnt even a archvillian really, Final Fantasy is what it is because of the extravegant costume designs and character designs, evil clowns, silver haired demi gods, swirly eyed nomads, talking dogs, a kid that weres an overall/hoody/tank top with one pant leg longer than they other with compression shorts and fish twine outfit (yes Im talkin about Tidus), otherworldly worlds, and humans with incredible powers doing things we cant hope to ever do.

You didnt see Peter Jackson taking elves, hobbits, wizards and orcs outta Lord of the Rings and slapping it with the same title. Gigantic swords, gunblades, thundagas, Vivi, BAHAMUT all staples of the Final Fantasy series, and non are no where to be found. Can i get some Kung Fu fighting? One flip kick? Just one?
