    Advent Children review

    Let me just say that the graphics and action in AC is superb. All of the action scenes are REALLY cool. The CGI is simply the best CGI ever, too.

    Too bad that's where the coolness of it ends. The story is utterly incomprehensible - they never explain a SINGLE ELEMENT of the plot in full detail. Yes, I mean the AC plot, not the FF7 plot. It's just a mess of random battle scenes. Sephiroth returns for reasons that are so vague that it's impossible to describe their vagueness due to being vague.

    The music, although well done, is barely audible for the most part due to the millions of random gun and sword sound effects during basically the entire scenes. The OWA remix would be cool if you could hear it, as well as the remix of Still More Fighting. They're all done in a cool, Black Mages-esque, metal style. Like I said, shame you can't hear them. The random J-Rock song during the second half of the credits isn't very good, either.

    Meh. I'll give it a 6/10 just because the battles were so cool and the graphics ruled hard.

          I just got finished watching this.

          The fight scenes were, for the most part, absolutely orgasmic. Especially Cloud vs. guys in the woods and Cloud vs. Sephiroth.

          The rest of the movie may as well have not existed, although Reno, Rude, and Barret were all hilarious. Granted, I didn't go into the movie expecting anything more than action, so I am not dissappointed.

          In fact, I love well done action like this more than almost anything else in animation, so this movie gets a solid recommendation from me.

              *SPOILER?*






              I mean, most anyone who would watch this movie would know the story of FFVII, but whatever.

                Moogy, how can you expect a movie that's storyline follows a very incomprehensible game plot to have a plot that makes sense itself? FF7 was simply the most loophole filled game I've ever played (and why I don't like it much.)

                However

                CG fighting = fun, even if the main character is an emo piece of shit. So I'll see it once it actually comes out.

                  I've never even played FFVII, and i still knew that. If you use the internet you know that. If you know what Final Fantasy is, you will know that.

                  I won't watch this; since i've never even played the game, it'll probably just be a big sack of crap to me.

                      benny for some reason when you said that I pictured you sitting around going "hey let's watch this movie--OMGWTF look out the window a pizza hut is sinking into the ground!"

                      but yeah.

                        Seriously guys. Can you go bashing this movie without really understanding what goes on in it? I watched the movie without subtitles, and the parts that I see everybody bitching about make sense in Japanese.

                        Why Sephiroth comes back: Sephiroth doesn't "come back". That guy (the main antagonist) has to become Sephiroth in order for Jenova to return and destroy the planet once and for all.

                        Yeah, a lot of it was random, but they couldn't just make the movie as long as they wanted, because then there would just be huge amounts of filler for those idiots who are like OMFG CLOUD HAS A SMALL SCAR ON HIS LEFT TENDON THAT WASN'T THERE IN FF7 THIS MOVIE BLOWS DONKEY ASS AND WTSHIT I HATE THIS.

                        Seriously. It would take another hour and a half or whatever to explain what went on in those two years. It was better to just be a little ambiguous about it and save a lot of time.

                          Anyone got some english subs for this? I'd like them please.

                          Oh yeah, I did watch the movie in Japanese. The graphics are AMAZING. Too bad I can't understand any of it, otherwise I would give a more proper review.

                            Why not add another hour and a half? If the graphics are so orgasmic, even a 20 minute description of how Cloud suffered the small scar on his left tendon should be great, right? This is why people are stupid. I would MUCH MUCH MUCH rather watch a 2 hour movie consisting of stick people in flash calibur animation with good character development, a solid plot, and intriguing dialogue than watch an amazing looking movie which makes no sense....meh. I guess until the stick people movie get's released I'll just wait for my download of AC to finish.

                              How doesn't it make sense? Sure, I never played FF7, but this made a heck of a lot of sense to me.

                              Other than the whole "omg da kids r evil" "omg now deyr gud"
