Review: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005)
Saturday, May 19, 2007
This movie was 98% fluff. Nothing happened throughout most of the movie. Seriously, the story could have been condensed into 10 minutes and nothing would have been lost. And it still would have felt like fluff. It was pretty, but eye candy can only take you so far. It's a shame because the story in the game was so good. It made sense. But I guess coming up with 101 minutes of material was too much for the writers.
I didn't expect much going into this movie and I was still disappointed. Unless you're obsessed with seeing a few minutes of the cast of FF VII on the screen, don't bother.

Brilliant! This movie is the animated counterpart to The Godfather and Unforgiven. With direction that rivals Francis Ford Coppola at his best, and acting that would put Sir Anthony Hopkins to shame, Advent Children is a riveting tale chocked full off plot twists, mortal combat, and a deep pondering of the human condition. A must see!
