Final fantasy: Advent children

[dementis]

i watched this film at the weekend, as this has only come out in japen it has not been translated so there was english subtitles... this did not ruin the film... Advent children is amazing and proballythe best thing i have seen in a long time... i would love to talk about it but it would ruin it a great deal for you

best. fight. scene. ever.

[Imrik]

A friend of mine has the Japanese version of this with subtitles, Im hoping to borrow it off him for a bit so I can watch it, it sounds amazing.

[Carn]

yeah, its a fun movie, altough I hoped for a better story. And nothing wrong with subtitles; i prefer that instead of lame voice-jobs.

I hate out of time voice overs, I've never seen why some people dislike subtitles. Once you start watching the movies you soon forget you're reading subtitles and it all just flows naturally.

[Carn]

Yep..and here in Holland, every movie gets subtitled..It also has to do with a country's amount of ehm, illiteracy and affinity with the english language..over here, everyone gets English in school, but in Germany people dont..so basically every movie/series gets redubbed over there...and trust me, the A-Team in German is NOT FUN.

i read somewhere that the subs are not accurate

cloud vs sepiroth >>>>>>>> neo vs smith

[Carn]

yeah well..the subs are made by a fan; they're not supposed to be 100% perfect..they're good enough to explain whats going on :)

[funluvinhobo]

Its on my pc and i wana watch it but my wmp and realplayer wont play any video files at the moment.

[albert_bass]

It's a cool movie just because of the effects. The movie is a bit slow in parts, and too fastened up in some others and the plot is so much better in the game, but of course it's impossible to focus all that greatness in a movie. Overall a 7.5/10 for me.

I completely agree, though the story was lacking at some points, the fighting owned any other fight scene. Well maybe.

[Drahmen]

Is it based on FF7?

[sum1soiledMyBongos]

I thought it was pretty mediocre. The story is thin with a very straight-forward and uninspired plot, and sometimes quite random scene transitions. Same old characters, none of which really show any significant character development other than the things we already knew from the game. Cloud gets about 80% of the attention, but his character is boring and predictable because it's basically just a rehash of his developments and discoveries from the game. And ffs, we've seen enough of his stupid flashbacks already.

It does look great though, and it has some awesomely choreographed fights. But that does not make a good movie and frankly, the action has its weak parts too. I mean, i know they're strong and all, but the way they just throw Cloud into the stratosphere like that is just ridiculous. Fight a giant bahamut up in the sky? No problem, we'll just give you a boost! Will five miles be high enough? Oh and don't worry about the landing, since you're a super hero and all. Lame.

[littledrummerboy]

best. fight. scene. ever.
Yeah, the whole movie

[hades2]

Too ****ed good for my own liking. Loved the fight scenes.

i have no idea... the fight scene between cloud and sepiroth wsa great tho

lol there all lvl 99, lol and yea... i thought it was bahumut zero... but anyway.,,, its from the game so yea there the creaotors that can do the funk they want

[GiB]

This movie looks awesome. I want it when it comes out.

i agree, the characters are just thrown in to make the fans happy........so you like barret? throw him in! i wanted the bahamut fight to be longer and not have cloud one man showto kill it

but still............

cloud vs sepiroth = best 1 on 1 fight scene ever

[infinate_ammo]

I hate this movie more and more everyday, the fact people enjoy it gives me a deep hate for the human race. The fight scenes sucked, they were uninspiring. A good fight scene should make you wanna fight someone, at no point did any of the fight scenes make me want to fight someone.

You people are far too persuaed to enjoy something just because it has good graphics.

[beaNN]

Dubbed stuff sucks, I think it actually ruins the movie instead of making it easier.

[red barchetta]

i read somewhere that the subs are not accurate
as a person who undersatnds both english and japanese 100%, the subs were pretty much correct.

ok.

[Digital Boy]

I thought the plot was garbage. The fight scenes were good though.

I thought the story was awesome, you have to understand a lot about FF7 to understand some of it though.

[The Digital Pimp]

The action and effects are awesome, and there's some flashy editing and decent music, as well as fleshing out the FF7 story and game universe. But characterisation was lacking, even on Cloud, who hogged the screen for most of the time, and the Aeris thing was way overplayed. Most of the fights were so fast you could barely make out what was going on.

As a FF7 fan, I did enjoy it heaps though. Seeing all the characters again brought back heaps of memories lol. Some of the fighting moves are actually from the game, and when Kadaj jumps away from Cloud near the end, Cloud does the victory animation! hehe

The story was complete trash, that is a fact. This is just as bad as The spirit within.

Stop it. It's opinion. Don't tell people it's a fact.

[IbanezSamurai]

I thought the movie was great.
The story was indeed all over the place, and even someone who knows plenty about FFVll might have trouble keeping up with the story. Also it was kinda funny, no matter how many times they shoot at the Cloud, he never get wounded.

Yeah you'd think they'd just give up on using bullets when everyone can dodge or deflect them.

[Grey Incision]

I disagree with everyone in this thread, best fight scene ever is when peter griffin fights the chicken guy who gave him a bad coupon

/sigh

How dare you bring that up. Now I'm going to be sad that Advent Children didn't live up to that fight. :upset:

[infinate_ammo]

But it's not an opinion, this film had barely any story and the small bit of story it had sucked. Fact.

Wow I thought I was the most ignorant person here.

[Damrod]

I watched the trailer, and it looked nice. I should look out for it somewhere. Where did you guys get it from? p2p?

[red barchetta]

from a torrent. you can search for one at google or something.

you know what a torrent is, right?

you're a dumbass. not because you thought AC sucked, but because you are a dumbass

[andyhainey]

AC PWNED!!!, the best part was when cloud jumps down the reck to finally kill that guy, but then he transforms into sephiroth, then they look at each other (cloud in amaze)

[Dave]

You obviously know nothing about ff7 then.

[infinate_ammo]

Why do you say that? I think ff7 is possibly the greatest game on this planet.

[Turkish]

I got it from Ares and googles the subtitles seprately. I used BSplayer to play the movie with the subtitles.

[Dave]

If you knew as much as you should by loving the game so much, you'd know how the story in AC is good, in my opinion.

What was wrong with the story in AC?

[Jim]

I mean, i know they're strong and all, but the way they just throw Cloud into the stratosphere like that is just ridiculous.

There were alot of bits that made me go "yeah right". ^^That being the major. The fights were impressive but waaaayyy over the top. There were funny bits too. Reno and Rude providing most of the humour. Also, the "end battle" ring tone was funny, if a little self indulgent.

In any case, the movie was a decent trip down memory lane...

[infinate_ammo]

What was wrong with the story in AC?
Tell me what was good about the story in AC? The story was so incredibly generic and boring and plain, I couldn't have cared less about any of the characters. About 10 mins must have been spent writing that story.

[spitfirejunky]

They totally deemphasized the roles of the other characters. I wanted to see Vincent do some beast action.

And the bullshit scene with the redhead and the dude in the suit and shades really needed to get cropped out. I mean, what the **** was that? That waste of reel time could have easily been budgeted towards another good fight scene.

[infinate_ammo]

They totally deemphasized the roles of the other characters. I hated that, they made it seem like Cloud was the only character, we could have atleast got just a glimpse at the start of what everyone is doing with themselves.
Not that this would have made the movie good, but Reno and Rude should have been cool type characters not losers who try to be funny. They were like a japanese attempt at brittish humor.
That waste of reel time could have easily been budgeted towards another good fight scene.
There were no decent fight scenes anyway, it's just alot of crap happening that is to over the top and fast paced to follow.

You must of noticed how clever the way Kadaj and co were the failed clones of sephiroth, that Hojo made when he thought Sephiroth was dead? And that explained why Kadaj turned into Sephiroth, when he Jenova Cells hit him, because it was the only missing from the Sephiroth clones, and the way that Sephiroth was so obviously controling them, like he did to the old, failed Sephiroth clones, like the way he did to Cloud in the game. The way Aeris still hasn't gone back into the lifestream yet, because she still has to protect the others, unfinished buisiness, if you will. The geostagma thing also explained how Jevona killed the original ancients with the "virus" they talk about in the game, when it/she first came to their planet.

I think it must of taken them more than 10 minutes...

at the end he gets wounded badly, but dosent he get healed by that water place in the church or something i cant remember now

[Dave]

You say that, but I don't even think you knew that about the story.

it was even more weird how Cloud's hair managed to stay the same despite getting wet/jumping ridiculous high/riding a bike without a helmet.
Wow, thats deep.. Yawn....
i presume you ignored the story while playing ff7 then? thats why you didnt enjoy AC - its a sequal, so there is a need to understand the story; there is a need to know about the jenova cells and sephiroth's clone.

Atleast someone knows what they're talking about :thumb:

[Grondahl]

I thought it was quite a fun film to watch. It's not close to being a really great film as there's not enough plot or character development, but enjoyable nonetheless. Certainly better than Spirits Within.

I ****ing love the story in FF7, its just ****ing brilliant. This on the other hand is pure ****.

the problem is not with understanding the story. its just that i think the story is er....not given much attention. almost the whole show is fighting.....

[andyhainey]

Holy crap dudes, i just watched iT!!!!! it is OUTRAGEOUSLY INSANE.i love the bit where cloud realizes it is his will to save the planet, so lots of sword come out of his massive sword, he turns gold and he starts doing something crazy thing like omnislash, ugh, i live for this movies guys. what was everybody elses favourite scene?

it wasnt an important scene, but when i saw cloud take out TWO swords from his bike, i was like 'YEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!'

[spitfirejunky]

Don't you know who they were?

I don't memorize names. They appear in the FF7 as members of some kind of crew of mercenaries to Shinra. Their role isn't nearly as important as that of the other characters.

[infinate_ammo]

Dude the Turks? How could you play the game and not know the names of the turks?

[Turkish]

I dunno, every time I watch the movie, story seems to make more and more sense.

[infinate_ammo]

Hmm I wouldnt know, I refuse to put myself through the hell of watching that again.

[Turkish]

dude, I think you're blowing this way outta proportion...the movie isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.

[Damrod]

Saw it yesterday. The story lacks a bit here and there, but for a mere DVD release the animation and work that went into it is pretty impressing. I like it.

[spitfirejunky]

Dude the Turks? How could you play the game and not know the names of the turks?

I haven't played it since a few months after it was released.

[-:Vincent:-]

About the whole "there's not enough storyline" bull ****:

First - It's all about FF7 the game, of course you'd have to of played the game to understand the story.

Second - It's an animated movie with people that look cool and fight a lot, the storyline isn't really much of what the creators were worried about.

[Turkish]

I think the story lacked a little, but I don't think it was anywhere near as bad as The Spirits Within which is what infinate_ammo is trying to put it as.


I loved the movie, although parts were confusing and there were some plotholes....I thought it was pretty dang good.
