Personally I thought the film sucked....

Dear lord, I thought I was the only person in the whole world that thought that.

One good thing about the movie was the clothes. That's it.

Count me in among the haters. And admittedly it only has three salvageable factors: Vincent was pretty fucking kickass in the movie, the clothing was awesome, and Bahamut Sin was cool. Other than that, down the drain it goes.

And thus the haters outweigh the likers in this thread
Yea Vincent was cool...but in my opinion giving him DOC and a bigger role than most characters in AC is his compensation for having such a tiny moment in FF7.

hah, I guess I'll be the first of the non-haters. Ok so the plot was a mess and the side-characters were purely fan-service....but even with all that crap I still enjoyed it. I mean, usually I hate films with all style and no substance, but this? This was pure eyecandy. I've never seen such awesome cg animation. Even if just for the fight scenes and music, this movie was not a total bomb. It's a good popcorn movie.

First off, let's just point out that the title talks not about Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children,

but its less popular sister film, Avent Children.

I really hated all the interplaying dialogue in Avent Children between Hojo and that brick wall. I mean, it never WENT anywhere.

Oh, and the fight scene between Barret and JENOVA-lite? Laaaammme. Barret would NOT just slip on a banana peel like that.

And who was that fag with silver hair that kept on popping up everywhere and looking all angsty? He didn't fit in the movie at all.

What do you guys think?

I don't like the fangirls it has drawn to the daylight

Oh my god...the fangirls...don't even get me started on that one... Let's just say that they bite. VERY VERY hard!!

Off-topic: T&T...the platform game???

Do you get to play as Godot and blast the evil-doers with Laser beams and scolding hot coffee.

The graphics and especially the music were absolutely great, but the story was mediocore.

And what's cooler than swordfights on speeding motorcycles?

I would have liked the movie Beowulf a lot more if they didn't try to make it "badass"

A good plot not riddled with fan-service.

It's an action film, it doesn't need a good plot as long as the action scenes are ass-kicky enough. And what's cooler than swordfights on speeding motorcycles?

It's not an action film. It was a bitching-and-crying-fest with a couple of mediocre action scenes.

In my opinion Arnold Schwartzenegger defined action films and if the plot isn't good enough....it better be funny as hell and this wasn't funny as hell.

For some reason, I still think Cloud's Omnislash is WAY cooler back in FFVII.

What you saw at the end was not
Omnislash, but rather a completely new Limit Break inspired in one that
appeared in Final Fantasy Tactics (in which Cloud showed up as a secret
playable character), named Cherry Blossom.
