FFVII AC General Discussion

[Daenerys]

For all your general movie banter!

What did you like / not like about AC? Is there something in particular you hated? Something you really enjoyed? Something that made you want to throw it out of the window? Tell us all about it here!

[Kandy-Sugar]

The main thing that shit me off about this movie was Marlene. <_<

Man she was so irritating. A typical little brat in my opinion who would stomp her feet if something didn't go her way. I didn't like the person who did her voice either. <_<

Denzel on the other hand was perfect. XD I loved him to bits! I hope my boy turns out as gorgeous as him. He had a really nice innocent nature about him and I felt sorry for the poor thing with him being sick and what not.

The smile on his face at the end of the movie made me cry to be honest. It was the first real smile I'd seen from him and just made me so happy. XD The name of his story, "On the way to a smile" definitely suited his story perfectly.

Sexist! SEXIST!
sorry. I couldn't resist. :-P

I didn't think either of them had enough of a role in the film, it was easy to feel sorry for Denzel especially when it was clearly obvious that he looked up to Cloud, and Cloud just kept buggering off. But then every time you did feel sorry for him it moved straight to a different scene and you wouldn't see him again for another half hour >.>

I have to agree in terms of Marlene though I think for me it may have just been the voice acting which was annoying. It would have been awesome if it was set in Zack's time...plus Tifa's well fit in AC.

[Artnok]

I thought it was all around a fantastic movie. The voices could've used more work imo. Clouds new Buster Sword was just badass. Not to mention i ripped it onto my computer. =D

[Sybelle]

I just love the film. When I saw it for the first time I had no idea what's going on there because I have never played the video game. Now, I'll try to play...I just can't make it run...I hate technology

[LittleMog]

The film had good fight scene choreography, but the story was a little bland I think. Also, I wasn't particularly keen on the character of Denzel.

[Ifrit]

I personally think it would have been awesome if as an added challenge, along with bahamut's megaflare, have Kodaj summon Ifrit to use hellfire.

Who else agrees with me on that part?

:ifrit:

I liked the movie a lot for its action and the whole ressurection of Sephiroth thing.... SO AWSOME when Kadaj is all of a sudden Sephiroth!!!

However, I did not like how magic had very little part in the movie. I mean, I saw like two spells ( a Firaga (?) from Kadaj to Rufus Shinra and possibly a Matra Magic from Kadaj to Cloud at the end of the "puppet speech") and two summons (a Bahamut of course, but those lizard things might just be creations of the Jenova cells sort of like all those unexplained monsters that show up after Sephiroth attacks in the beginning of FF7). Going abstract, one can maybe interject that the characters were using the buffs (mighty guard= protect, shell, haste) the whole time.

The other thing I did not like (sorta, the action was awesome DBZish) was that everyone, not just everyone's favorite "EX-SOLDIER 1st Class" could perform unreal melea combat and aerials that made me question the point of all those stairs and ladders that were the bane of my existence throughout FF7. The only reference in-game to such powers are the scene where cloud floats up to Sephiroth's mako crystal and hands him the Black Materia and maybe during the dialog right before the Final battle with Sephiroth where everyone is just floating there or moving in on Sephiroth or flying into their respective party formations for the Bizzaro Sephiroth (is that still the agreed upon translation? What about Safer Sephiroth?) battle.

Finally, I just attempted to make Cloud the non-magic melea badass he was depicted to always have been in FF7 by equiping him with the buster sword (because that was what one flashback scene AC showed him with, mystile, and muscle belt along with HP Ups, Enemy Skill (for Mighty Guard), Long range, Counter Attack, Cover, Death Blow, Double Cut. I also had Tifa along with her best equipment and Master Magic and mime and Vincent with the same and in Chaos mode.....thought they were the two coolyest side characters in AC and better have some minimal insurance just in case and because I had to bring them. And guess what.... Bizzaro Sephiroth never got close to being dead and I eventually shut the game off after two and 1/2 hours of all the Cloud melea (cough*SUCKS*), ultimaing, and whatever the hell Chaos does I could take before what would have been my inevitable pwning.

So thank you FF7AC for putting Cloud on a god-like pedestal I have no bussiness even trying to reach in the original game that gave birth to you!

"What the Hell!!"
*Ducks flying newborn clearly making a point that the stairs and fire escape are redundant*

Yeah Cloud and Sephiroth were both a little extreme. But shouldn't they be? They have Jenova cells in them (alien cells) and they are infused with Mako energy (steroids?). So I don't mind the effects of the movie. It does seem a little off with the game though. However that's just how it was made back then. If you look at CC Zack does some pretty amazing shit too.
