Why do you think it failed so miserably? I thought it was a very exciting movie. Ok, so it didn't really feel like a Final Fantasy product, but if you look aside that, it's still a pretty good movie.

I think a lot of fans were expecting to see Cloud and Sephiroth battle it out, so when they didn't get to see that, they immediately wrote it off. People expect too much from FFVII, and they will never truly be statisfied with anything less than a movie based around that particular game.

Now that they have that, do you think people will able to look beyond FFVII and actually appreciate this movie for what it is? Which is a damn good movie.
