Funny. I really enjoyed this movie, but they shouldn't of called it Final Fantasy because it has no relation to the actual game.

There are parts of FF: Spirits Within that I really liked, and others I didn't. It had its pros and cons. I wouldn't say it was crap, because it had its good moments. I agree with Darklink - They shouldn't have called it Final Fantasy because it doesn't have to do with any of the games.

It was boring, but the final made me cry

, the man left the girl >>U and died (wohooo) but I was a little girl

. Still, it was bad, not magic, nothing related to FF. Good thing that dad only wasted like 2$ for renting it lol.

Since when it is a given right to push your opinion on people who post? Instead of flaming it for not being your perfect Final Fantasy movie, look past that, ignore the missing elements - is it still a good movie in general?

I thought it was ok, not brilliant, but it was half decent. Graphically, this was better then AC.

Frankly, I agree that it was better than Advent Children. Advent Children seemed...plotless. Parts of it were even non sensical. For example, the 'arm up' part during the battle with Bahamut. Honestly... what was that about? And then the sudden apperance of Sephiroth? Was that supposed to be metaphorical?

Anyway, FFTSW had a plot, the voice acting was solid and I appreciated it for what it was. It wouldn't have been, at all, popular if it had just been called The Spirits Within, though I did think it lacked the qualities fans have come to expect from Final Fantasy (Summons, Magic, etc.)

If I had to give it a rating out of 10? I'd give it a 6 or a 7. It wasn't the greatest film I've ever seen but I definately liked it more than Advent Children.

I'LL KILL U

did u really watch AC

I don't know that murder is really necessary...but yes, I saw it. I was unimpressed. Graphically? It was fine. But AC recycled scenes (of the slums) and didn't compare as story-wise to FFTSW in my opinion.

I thought The Spirits Within was "ok".

I've seen movies that are much worse, and considering they did the whole thing with computer animation I felt it was put together well.. The storyline somewhat lacked any real impact though, and I guess that's what we're so used to Final Fantasy delivering, that overall the film was disappointing.

I felt that if you just called it Spirits Within, it was not so bad. However as soon as you say it is supposed to be a Final Fantasy well then it collapses under the weight of it letting down most of the population of Earth.

It lacked Magic, swords, decent monsters and Gravity defying hair. Spirits Within was not a Final Fantasy.
