Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Mark: 9.5/10
Review: A well made movie thats fast upbeat and very attarctive to people who have played the game and those who haven't. The fight scenes are simply amazing but there are some parts which you can see need some more work such as the motorcycle fight. The best fight scene would have to be the Bahamut SIN battle where all the characters help each pther beat him followed close by Cloud vs Sephiroth then Tifa vs Loz

p.s can anyone tell me what those monsters were in the first motorcycle fight and in the beginning of the Edge battle

my guess is those monsters were the midgar wolwes, as they were in midgar, however, the fact that the emo 3 could summon them and dismiss them could mean that those monsters are something we have not seen in the game, but simply some monsters under the control of the emo 3

I'd give it about a 6/10, and the only reason I give it that high of a score is cause of the music, and seeing my favorite characters in pretty cg like that.

I was pretty pissed off the entire time I was watching it. I'm sorry, but the SHM were almost pointless, I understand what they were, that's not what I'm saying, I'm saying they just seemed like something a 14 year old fangirl fanfiction writer would come up with. The only one that seemed to have a little substance was Kadaj, cause he's really the only one plot wise that made any sense. The other two were solely there to do pointless fight scenes.

Reno & Rude? Eh.....they weren't horribly done, especially Rude, but Reno? Come on. How many people have said this already? Reno was funny in VII but not spastic 'oh my god look i whacked Rude in the head! HAHAHAHAHAHA!' funny. They turned them both into bumbling stooges.

Tseng surviving I can understand cause A.) Misunderstandings of what happened at the Temple of the Ancients I guess, and B.) I never thought he was dead xD

Now, Rufus is a whole 'nother matter. We didn't actually see him die, true, but....come on.

But what I can't stand is the over-glorification of Cloud. Cloud didn't defeat anyone on his own, unless you count the Cloud/Seph battle at the very end of the game but......I don't know. Can you count a battle that you have no way of losing? Yet, the other characters come in and DO NOTHING. They somehow aren't even strong enough to make a scratch on Bahamut (which I find ridiculous, there were monsters and other baddies in the game that were just as powerful that they seemed to have no problem taking care of).

The jumping....I was informed of what it was but I still don't like the way it looks at all. It reminded me of some of those scenes in Spider Man, where it was obviously purely computer generated, and he looked like he was made of rubber and went bouncing all over the place.

Do you mean FFVII? otherwise your just comapring two completly unrelated things XD

I'll give the film 9/10

PROS

Pretty CG Graphics

Aeris!!!! XD that just makes me happy - shes perfect in the movie <3

The Tifa fight scene - the flower bit was just too awesome

The Cloud VS Sephiroth fight - finally we get to see sephiroth in all his glory

All the members of Avalanche fighting together

Made sure the LTDs are still equal - same amount of evidence for Cleris and Cloti

Cleris Scenes <3

Storyline

Cons

the SHM did Seem a BIT random - because you have to do your research to really understand them

As much as i hate to say this - Aeris was WAY overused - and the fact that she Had more lines Than barret and yuffie combined when shes dead is unacceptable....speaking of barret and Yuffie this leads me to my next point -

Underuse of Everyone except Cloud Tifa Aeris and the SHM - WHY couldnt they have used avalanche before Bahamut.

revived the whole LTDs all over again - with fresh ammo,

Has spawned a new army of evil - silly fan girls/boys whos only knowledge of the FF7 world is the movie and go around saying things like this :
"LYKZOMGCLOUDIZSOOOOWIKIDLYAWSOMEANDSTRONGANDHECAN LYKFLII!!!"

I've seen that movie many many many times(my kids love it).
Well first i believe there should be a small movie,what happend bevor,yes i know at the beginning they shortly telling but its not enought.My kids often ask me Mum what was Cloud doing bevor(they are not old enought for playing the Game and to understand 7Years and 3 ahalf years).I let see them the mowie because i think there are many messeges given in it,and they know them.
As for the other calling Cloud emo are wrong, why i'll tell you:
If in the future you will lose someone you loved you'll see that somehow you're losing your self for a while.To understand what he was going on in him,you must try putting your self in his position.I think then you'll understand a bit better.
I like that movie and i like watching the movie with my kids,and as my kids hopes that there will be a nother movie so do i.
