Really? Looking back at the last few posts by you and Ishin, it would seem the both of you are arguing.

Yes, the story was focused on Cloud. It was meant to. But Cloud wasn't alone. I'm surprised you guys haven't added what the wolf was supposed to symbolize.

Wasn't it supposed to be the Fenris Wolf? If memory serves, it appears as summon in FFVI and FFIX.

The wolf symbolizes Cloud's grief and self-blame IIRC. The Fenrir is mentioned in the movie with the name of Cloud's motorcycle.

And yes, Fenrir did appear as a summon in FFVI and IX.

In VI, it cast Image on the whole team.
In IX, it cast an earth or wind attack on all enemies, depending whether or not Eiko had the Maiden Prayer equipped or not.

Well when one person states that something is complete and utter vile rubbish and the other can see some merit and enjoyment in it, there's bound to be some clashing of opinions.

i loved teh movie. My friend who never even heard of final fantasy watched it and loved it. My first thought was:"WOW! pure eye candy and super moves!!" then after playing the game, i understood the movie and i thought it was rather deep. I'm just happy taht i get to see Aerith and best of all her eyes. They kept her face rather mysterious after helping out cloud then again..she is an Ancient and she can do many thing let alone helping out cloud.

and Ishin, we know u hate the movie. It's not as good as teh classics and it's copying scenes and moves from other classics. So please stop arguing with Amaru. we want to hear more opinions from others. You hate the movie fine, other people don't so quit arguing.

my score for it: 8/10

You like the movie, fine. Others didnt so stop arguing.

and it's not about it being "Not as good", It's about the film being not good period. I like FFVII in the sense of it being a "decent RPG" rather than the "BEST GAME EVER OMG I NEED A TISSUE AERIES DIED" following. I Also Like pure action movies and series. New Getter Robo (a series Im currently watching, some who watched cartoons in the 80's may remember Getter Robo G As Starvengers) takes a classic 70's anime and turns into a pure godzilla style monster mash with the world ending a quarter of the way through, and that's not even the most intense scene. Hard Boiled, Ninja Scroll, Ong Bak, Con Air, I can think of and name alot of movies and series that are about pure action, and nothing but, and are perfectly likeable. But what makes them enjoyable is the action makes a lick of sense. In advent, nothing does. It's just pure showboating, fan service, nonsense logic (thank goodness cloud was wearing his bullett proof shades huh ) and whatnot. Just because a film is all action, doesn't mean a director can throw all rules of directing, scripting and writng out the window. I've seen Adam Sandler films with a more cohesive sense of writing and directing. And I HATE adam sandler.

Don't think my stance is disrespectful to those who liked the film, you don't have to agree with me, you dont have to disagree. Go ahead and like it, but part of a message board discussion is discussing your ideas and stances. There are plenty of "OMG ADVENT CHILDREN ARE THE EFFING ROXXORRZZZ" threads here that I don't touch due to my not having anything to say about them. but in a "thoughts about the movie thread", well Im gonna post my thoughts, and discuss them. That's what a message board is all about.

what i meant is that you don't have to argue with extremely long posts with another member. it's like you're trying to prove them wrong no matter what. Anything they object, you deny/object. It's tiring and other members are irritated too.
You left enough opinions and we all know you hate this movie and love those ones you like. You keep objecting to others and their opinions would end up with an arguement instead of changing their minds because they enjoy it and you don't. No matter what you say they'll still think the movie is great and they won't dislike it because of something you said.

once again, let's hear some new opinions.
