Thoughts of the movie

[LunarWeaver]

I think the new villains were simply a catalyst for Cloud to begin a new journey of releasing his past regret and guilt. Kadaj is directly tied into Cloud as well, so I'm not sure if I'd call him underdeveloped... He's sort of like the Cloud that could have been in some ways. I rather thought the entire thing was about Cloud and all 20 of his swords and not about Kadaj and company.

Besides, Kadaj does his part. His general personality comes through the screen, his intentions are properly motivated, he causes mayhem for the protagonist, and he has flunkies (Yazoo and Loz) who do most of his dirty work. Sounds exactly the same as every villain in every movie made to me...

But it's all in the realm of opinion, so certainly you are not wrong. Opinion Realm is awesome like that.
