Pave-Low Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Well, I just purchased the SE DVD today and all I have to say is, The movie was Awesome. I would have rather had it on the lines of something like Final Fantasy 7 or 8 but it was still great. And the Graphics make you wet your pants. Oh, well thought I would share that. Anyone else have any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 I'm no big fan of it. I thought that the storyline was aweful. They poisoned Final Fantasy with Hollywood. At least Final Fantasy 7 spread out it's Life Stream storyline over 30-40 hours. This movie crammed Gaia down your throat for an hour and a half to two hours. Also, I think that romantic kiss came at a horrible time. Hell, the guys friends just got brutally killed by monstes and he's thinking about romance? HA!

coolkam007 Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 i love it also.. ^_^ .. but aki made me wet my pants (if you catch my drift ;) ).. not the graphics.. hehe.. but the graphics where amazing, i loved the way giya(sp?) looked just like the lifestream in ff7, and when that huge black (sorry if you find that offencive) guy was firing that wepon with one arm, they had the camera angle just right, it reminded me of barret.. i'm quite glad that the story was different from ff7, it had its own original story line.. which is good :) Cams rating: 4.6/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuja Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 [SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]thing is... the movie was MORE final fantasy than 7 or 8 which both sucked as FF games... GREAT games but no fantasy... the spirts were fantasy... and the kiss... just showed how true love will prevail over all... but then your too young to understand that im sure... and if you actually gave any thought to the movie... u would realize who each character in the movie was to a game... but then that would involve some intelegence in that thing u attempt to call a brain... but people who didnt like the movie are ignorant and have to have things their way or the high way... this movie was AWESOME so get over the no magic stuff and enjoy the damn movie[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pave-Low Posted November 4, 2001 Author Share Posted November 4, 2001 Yeah, ghuess your right, as a final fantasy it sucked. I did notice how alot of the characters where like one in a game. Also theres two times where they sneak a picture of a chocobo in. Like I said, if it would have been something exactly like final fantasy 7 it would have been the best. I wanted more magic, swords, and some fricken summons. Mabye theyll do a better one later. Overall though, I really enjoyed the movie. I really liked how they went into the story of the life stream. It was alittle too short for a FF though. YOu cant make a good final fantasy short, thats all part of what makes the game. IT should have been about a 4 or 5 hour movie..lol..then it would be just like the games and could tell the story a whole lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm twenty years old. You said in that little quote up there that "your too young to understand that.." Okay junior, first off, it's "you're" not "your." Anyway, if my buddies got brutally destroyed by monsters, I would be mourning for more than two minutes. You are obviously a youngster because you think with YOUR genitallia. Second of all, I'm entitled to my opinion. You have no right to insult me or my intelligence(which you spelled wrong). There are probably many people that did not like the movie. You claim that anyone that does not like the movie is ignorant? Do you know how ignorant that statement is? By the way, you broke the otaku board's rules by insulting me. In closing, you have a lot of growing up to do. Try to realize that not everyone likes what you like. I presented my opinion intelligently. I didn't just say that the movie "sucked." I gave my opinions on it. P.S. Final Fantasy 7 was, and remains the best in the series in my opinion. Chew on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have known when to quit. First off you spelled grammar wrong. Why do I care? Well, you said that I was unintelligent. You do make an interesting point about the TRUE LOVE theory. However, you stereotype people that don't like the film. You assume, that just because it doesn't have spells, I don't like it. Well junior, I like Grand Theft Auto 3 and there's no spells there. If they made a movie, I'd probably still like it. Actually, most movies that I watch, don't include magic spells. Now, before I mentioned that you made a good point about the TRUE LOVE theory. Well, let me ask you a couple of questions. Do you watch the news? Okay then, how many parents do you see sucking face when their children get brutally murdered? If your best friend died, wouldn't you mourn? If anyone's brainwashed it's someone that doesn't see the clear picture. They introduced Final Fantasy to Hollywood, and Hollywood, corrupted it in a way. That kiss should have been saved for the end, just before he died. Would the theme have been hurt at all? No. Would it be more believable? Yes. An interesting side note is that the ghosts resembled jell-o molds. Wow, that's really scary. The main attraction to a FF game, is the villain and how they relate to the hero or heroine. There was no fantasy in that film. It was sci-fi. Finally, you stated that you like a good argument. Well, there are ways to disagree. You're supposed to be a mod. Set an example and treat people with respect when you disagree. Once you call them "stupid" or "ignorant" you are in fact, lowering yourself. I've been here for a long time myself. I know how the rules go and I'm not afraid to mince words with moderators when they're wrong. Don't expect me to be intimidated by you one bit.

[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/B][/QUOTE] Man, I have to admire your endurance in this argument. You just keep coming back for more. So let's end it before it gets too old. Your opinions are as good as any. Anyway, I got the impression that you try to intimidate people with your status, when you said that I better watch what I say to you. I called you junior because of your mentality at the time, not your actual age. However, with that last post you really impressed me. I do have to point out a couple of things though. First of all, I re-watched the part of the movie that you were talking about and I disagree with you. That kiss did not take place hours after the deaths. You can clearly see the suffering planet beneath the ship. Even if you are right though, the directors shouldn't have placed that scene there. But this is not the reason that I do not like the film. After all, it's only one small flaw. Let me quote a bit of the IGN review: "As for the story, most of the dialog is pretty stale and the movie follows so many rehashed sci-fi and anime clichés that genre fans will probably find themselves groaning at a couple moments throughout the film." When I play a Final Fantasy game, I expect nothing but the best in quality. Perhaps my expectations for the film were a bit too high. In any case, I respect your opinion. Just remember though, people that didn't see this supposed "beauty" aren't ignorant. The good thing about a movie or a book, is that everyone can see it a different way, and that by no means makes people ignorant. It makes them unique.
