on Nov 08 2008 03:45 AM I just watched it, and as a satisfying follow up to a videogame it worked flawlessly. The plot and characters are oh so obviously Japanese (that's a cultural statement) so it's hard to rate it from a different background. English renditions of something created/directed for a different audience are awful in the first place, so I hope you don't go bashing the original for what it was. It was never released to be a stand alone Hollywood movie. It shouldn't be critiqued like one. When cultures differ so much, taking set footage and just changing the dubs isn't good enough. -Yuji (Reply to this) |

on Jul 31 2009 09:14 PM Yes, totally agree with your review, Mike Sage. I guess you should understand doing this FF7: Advent Children movie is the purpose of fulfill the FF fans only but not for moviegoers like us especially movie critic. I guess this is the safer way for Square-Enix to produce this kind of movie then FF: The Spirits Within, maybe they don't want to risk their business again. Honestly, i am quite hoping FF can make it more like sliverscreen than DVD release only. of course i know these FF7: Advent Children is not suitable for the sliverscreen market, it's just not enough action and storyline to develop a movie like Hollywood, they are still far away. I hope Square-Enix can improve it. (Reply to this) |
