I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!

By that logic, Super Mario Brothers is a great movie, as is tomb raider. Classics even.

Video games have their own logic, and exist upon it. The film industry has its own logic, and exists within certain constraints. You cant expect to make a film and not use the rules of cinema while you are directing it and still have it turn out to be a quality product.

Only Metal Gear Solid has ever really been able to bridge both mediums successfully. But a good portion of it's success relies on it's own tounge in cheek style whenever the video game elements meet the cinematic elements.

Lord of the Rings is a movie that adheres to its own "rules of cinema". (Not every movie features Balrogs from the pits of Angmar (hell) spurting flames, with a old and gray man fighting it, falling through time and space........etc). Anyways, my point is, is that it had unreal elements in it, and all three LoTR movies were blockbuster.

Therefore, each movie has its own "rules". Such is the case with Final Fantasy, Advent Children. It wouldn't be final Fantasy, if it didn't have unreal jumps and action scenes. The basic laws of nature instilled in the game had to be adhered to in the movie (i.e. being able to take 1298270938472 bullets, and still having enough HP to whoop the enemy).

And the movie rocked. Not like Braveheart, or LoTR rocked, but it rocked for a movie made by a game developing company.
