GR Anime Review: Advent Children

[SalchichaPolaca]

yeah I think it looks amazing and all... but as a movie (even for me as a fan) is BULLSHIT!!!!

[ruhere4mybangers]

what an idiot -__-

[FabolousGamer]

I can understand that the story was not great but it was simple. The game was FANTASTIC. Why was it that? Because people are buying it for 75$ online for a copy. This dude has the weirdest taste in anime and games I have ever seen in my life

[Hayashirice911]

For those of you who don't know "Dilly Dally Shilly Shally" or whatever the fuck it was, was originally "Zuruzuru Zuruzuru". This is a Japanese onomatopoeia for dragging something. So in the context, it's Cloud dragging around his past burdens, and I have no fucking clue what the localization team was thinking when they put that shit in there.

[princelaharl664]

Played the game, hate the movie.

[veestormcourage]

You should have talked about the throwing! "Let's throw people into the air and watch them GAIN MOMENTUM! FUCK PHYSICS!"

[erflesmcbride]

I am 100% fine with this review, but final fantasy fanboys are gonna give u trouble, lol

[Blackwing024]

Up untill now i thought u do good reviews even if u didnt give enough credit to Gungrave.,.. but now u made the worst mistake ever... U MAKE FUN OF FINAL FANTASY?! ARE YOU FKIN INSANE? !!!!!!!  FF4EVER! even if i didnt understand that story so well i fell in love with it and with the characters.

[LAshleyify]

Respect to the music, though. The re-vamped version of One-Winged Angel nearly sent me into shock.

[SergioSource]

this movie made me start FF. once I ended cd1, I dropped it. Had more fun with FF1 than that ffs

[Lollipop708]

The movie is visual crack but the rest is just...shiit.

[lucbauer]

this movie is visually insuperable but its script is fucking stupid and anemic.

[lotorsgurl]

SEPHIROTH 4EVEA

[ChileHT]

I've never played the game and I got most of it... Personally, I'm a fan of Final Fantasy and I think this film was AWESOME! The last fight scene got boring though, it dragged on for way tooooo long but they were stunning visual wise. The characters were good and fuck, Cloud is H-O-T. I really loved it :)

[Lollipop708]

@ChileHT One problem, he is the worst character for brooding. EVER.

[jeremymuccllar]

ff7 is cool all of it is cool but the ending of the game lol i want them to make a anime movie about ff8

[airen392]

I watched The movie Without even Knowing about the game I understood the plot Quite well...

[Drizzt2549909]

I bought this movie the day Advent Children Complete came out on Blu Ray. I have never regretted it. The music was awesome. I have never watched it in English.

[FD87]

I'm not a FF fan and I think the story in this movie is crap.... But its the most beautiful crap I've ever seen... Not even the latest 3D CGI crap Hollywood crap out can match this.... I'd recommend this movie to anyone simply coz how beautiful the animation is... Hope to see this studio make a proper movie in the future...

[guv1111]

i assume by describing jenova as psycho bitch, you mean a small amount of reproducing ancient cells?

[IKnowWhereYouEat]

if you don't like FFVII why is there poster of it on your wall?

[guv1111]

@IKnowWhereYouEat

2 posters... one on the bottom left aswell

[MrShadowSight]

Final Fantasy Advent Children Complete is a superior film.

P.S. Final Fantasy VII is a great game, I respect your opinion however I just can not even remotely agree with it.

[MrShadowSight]

@MrShadowSight One more thing, HOW COULD YOU NOT TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!?

[HumanoidSlayer]

I love how all of the FF fans are completely trashing this review. You guys need to chill out he just stating his opinions on the movie. Oh and Dilly Dally Shilly Shally is probably the worst phrase ever no matter what its supposed to mean lmao

[lucbauer]

worst movie script i've ever seen

[Xiao911]

You beat FF7 in 20 hours? must have been the demo, no wonder why this review sucks.

[Razorblade309807]

It sounds like this guy is just pissed off because he was never able to beat the game or something. He says "oh the game is only popular because of its fan-base, not because its good" HUH? I think it has a huge fan base because... its a good game LOL. What's wrong with having to have played the game to understand the movie, um... it's a sequel to the game... correct? So... no shit you should have played the game before watching. This guy has no idea what he is going on about, he's just pissed...

[Gamerkillzone]

disliked this guy. stupid review

[CachiersFTW]

For the record, I looked it up, "Dilly Dally, Shilly Shally" means your focusing on unimportant things and your wasting time. Duh, didn't you bother to look it up?!

[Farfeb]

I watched this movie for the very first time and I felt like I am in computer fantasy.

[xWindtearx]

1:55 - 2:58 ROFLMAO

[NinjaTuna39]

you know if you put on the subtitles it actually translates the game dialogue and then you can tell whats going on yay

[1991ByronMitchell]

its a fighting movie

[Digiscat]

so it really is the lip sync..i spazzed when i saw the scene

[candydandy400]

Man you are good at destroying every animes dignity and makin a good story seem like crap.

[ubbrok]

The plot ain't so complex, it's easy to understand what you need to watch the film without playing the game.

[HottestAngel776]

I seriously think the Final Fantasy guys all wear makeup! Swear, to God they do.

[rossdude]

So the intro is so strange. Usually a story has a hook that drags you in, but AC had us watch a misty crater for a good while while gun shots go off somewhere. Why not show that gun fight? As it is I'd rather have the film start with Tifa answering the phone. More exciting than misty crater .

[SuperKingNova]

Action was good, but dang........... story oh man bland . Graphics awesome ....

[JKP0P]

LOL was he complaining about long fight scenes? I love that, why not see a bunch of people with overly superhuman strength fight for ages?

[1337Flyboy]

i paid 8 dollars for the blu ray movie and i regret nothing.

[nonamexg18]

@1337Flyboy same here. It makes a good demo for a home theater, just skip to any of the gorgeously rendered fights, pump out the TrueHD surround and BOOM: ur buddies will be inclined to go Blu-Ray and get a home theater with a nice big HDTV.

[KingBazia]

@1337Flyboy 8 dollars? I paid freaking 50 bucks for the DVD when it was new ... best buy ever!

[bobdotexe]

watched this movie before I even knew what "Final Fantasy" was;

after playing FF 3/4/7, the movie'z not so great any more; yet better than FF:spirts within

[bobdotexe]

20+

it took me 70+

then the power went out when I was fighting sephy.

:(

[TheHeartless09]

dilly dally shill shally O.o

[shadowjoe94]

i had to watch this movie 3 time cause i kept falling asleep around the second half and when i did it was as arkada said a visual orgasam

[Xirbtt]

Stealer of jokes from Freakazoid! Curse you!

[chosha1]

I believe the dilly dally Shilly Shally' isn't a miss translation, but its a reference to something Areith/Areis used to say. Its basically a silly catchphase to tell people to ignore the past and move on. Yeah, just to mention it. ^_^

[ootdega]

Well, as I played the game (it's a 100+ hour game, by the way) when I was 12, I didn't give a shit about the story. It was fun, it was awesome, and...Omnislash.

So the movie was still awesome to me, since I never gave a shit about the story. It was like one giant fight scene with annoying story parts getting in the way of the action.

I assure you, I have much better taste now.

[ultrajd]

I know the movie was bad but you have to admit Tifa+leather= Awesome.

[exiaedges]

So you use blu-tack to stick your posters up the wall and also I'm curious know what are characters on the silhouette poster.

[ultrajd]

@exiaedges If you mean the iPod one its Sephiroth impaling Aries.

[12eebok]

Haha, thank you, I was wondering why the hell you had that poster on your wall while ranting about the movie.

[SwEEtShaydZz]

100th viewer >:U

[SwordSaint32]

Lies didnt play 7 and understood the movie fine. And you do have to relise this is a acton flm there are going to be fights.

[Asmodeus696]

@SwordSaint32 I also didn't finish the game. Mostly because I have massive OCD and wanted to get all the characters. Plus I fail at chocobo related racing and raising..merph.

[httm241]

@SwordSaint32 the blitz ball is mightier than the buster sword

[blueraytechnoavatar]

@SwordSaint32 no no no hear is the thing it uses fight scence to use up it's runing time now we all know it's a action film but to many action scence thay can't get to the plot

[IloveOtherPplsMsry]

Tell me again why is this franchise so popular?
