You like the movie, fine. Others didnt so stop arguing.Originally Posted by atlanteay
and it's not about it being "Not as good", It's about the film being not good period. I like FFVII in the sense of it being a "decent RPG" rather than the "BEST GAME EVER OMG I NEED A TISSUE AERIES DIED" following. I Also Like pure action movies and series. New Getter Robo (a series Im currently watching, some who watched cartoons in the 80's may remember Getter Robo G As Starvengers) takes a classic 70's anime and turns into a pure godzilla style monster mash with the world ending a quarter of the way through, and that's not even the most intense scene. Hard Boiled, Ninja Scroll, Ong Bak, Con Air, I can think of and name alot of movies and series that are about pure action, and nothing but, and are perfectly likeable. But what makes them enjoyable is the action makes a lick of sense. In advent, nothing does. It's just pure showboating, fan service, nonsense logic (thank goodness cloud was wearing his bullett proof shades huh :rolleyes2 ) and whatnot. Just because a film is all action, doesn't mean a director can throw all rules of directing, scripting and writng out the window. I've seen Adam Sandler films with a more cohesive sense of writing and directing. And I HATE adam sandler.
Don't think my stance is disrespectful to those who liked the film, you don't have to agree with me, you dont have to disagree. Go ahead and like it, but part of a message board discussion is discussing your ideas and stances. There are plenty of "OMG ADVENT CHILDREN ARE THE EFFING ROXXORRZZZ" threads here that I don't touch due to my not having anything to say about them. but in a "thoughts about the movie thread", well Im gonna post my thoughts, and discuss them. That's what a message board is all about.
