I am curious how various gamers feel about what square decided to with Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children. If there is anyone out there that has seen the movie without playing the game, your opinion is welcome, however, I would like to know if the hard-core FF7 gamers (like myself) feel that Advent Children did the game any justice.

Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread... I have a burnt copy of the first disc. I liked the movie, but I think this is one of the first movies I prefer to watch subtitled rather than dubbed in English. There are too many close ups and it reminds me of Godzilla when I watch it dubbed...

The end fight with Sephiroth is awesome though, one of the best animated fight scenes ever.

I really enjoyed the movie and how it represented the game's characters. That's all I have to say about that.

It was alright, just would have been nice if they didn't forget to include the plot.

I bought the soundtrack a long while ago. It's incredible!

As for the movie, it was alright. One thing really bothered me, though. Rufus....is alive. Square was pretty slick about it, though. When Rufus was gonna explain how he escaped the destruction of the building, Cloud threaten to leave if he didn't get to the point. Slick, but very stupid.

Good movie. Much more of a FF movie than "Spirits Within" ever was. They perfectly captured the atmosphere of the game, but indeed, the plot could've been a lot better. Oh well. They made up for that with some kick-ass fighting sequences.

FFVIIAC was a good movie (especially the battle sence with bahamut lol), but i think a prequel would have made a much better movie. i guess thats what the new games are for

Advent Children did do the game justice (IMO) for the sole reason that this is what the fans wanted... MANY fans wanted a sequel/prequel/remake, so square did so. Am I overall happy with the movie? Absolutely.... although I didn't like how Reno and Rude died...

They were tha shiznat!

I'm also one who prefers subs to voice-overs. I can watch 100 subbed action movies before I can try to put up with one decently VO'd (except for ones where the VO were played up on, such as Kung Pow, even then you don't really have a choice).

EDIT: The music was awesome. I do like the remixes from the movie more than the OST. (In case any of you are wondering, the song playing during the Tifa/Loz fight was "Fighting" from the FFVII Piano Collections ^_^

Reno and Rude didn't die. When Rufus was cured of the Geostigma, you can see the entire party with him, even Elena and Tseng. Looks like Reno and Rude Rufus'd their way out of the explosion. *rolls eyes*

plot was kinda weak especially how everyone just kinda shows up outta nowhere to fight Bahamut. Vincent Valentine looked pretty awesome though. probly better to rent than to buy
