Random thoughts:

I was a little disappointed with the movie. As a few people have said, good graphics, sound, and fight scenes seemed to have been used to make up for a good storyline (I got bored with the fight scenes halfway through the movie - it seemed like every time something important to the plot was gonna happen, another fight scene started). Not that there was anything wrong with the good graphics (they actually made Reno, one of the ugliest characters in the game I thought, really good looking imo ), but as people have said it contributed to that "flash over substance" idea that dominated the movie.

I think Square could've done more with the premise and new characters. But maybe they were under time constraints or something so I dunno :\.

I thought Cloud had already resolved his guilt in the game itself .

I could forgive the character's fantastic actions ("flying," etc.) during the fights, because the game and movie are fantasy-based and a good deal of suspension of belief is usually necessary to enjoy things of that genre, though as I said before, there were just too many fights >_<.

Kadaj confused me for the first few minutes - I was sure he was a woman, but then he spoke with a deep voice
