Don't listen to the reviews that say "10/10 but I think this and this are done badly...." Cuz they're idiots.
That aside, I also want to say YOU CAN'T RATE A MOVIE ON A VIDEO GAME WEBSITE WITH VIDEO GAME RATING SYSTEMS.
But neverthless, I will review it, since peoiple are coming here for reviews on the movie. Just ignore all the stuff at the top. I was just getting the score to 8.5. Look at the standings at the end of the review.
Firstly, you do not need to playthe game to enjoy this movie. My friend's mom enjoyed it. Seriously. She never played the game. But the views are a little different from each side.
THE "I LOVE THE GAME/ PLAYED IT" SIDE:
THE GOOD
1. Great graphics, although a little lame here and there. Rather faithful to the game on how it looks, and does well in bringin the box characters to life.
2. The battle scenes of course are plentiful, which most people will enjoy, and are pretty well done.
3. Rude and Reno are hilarious.
4. Materia are still here.
5. Lots of the same music, but with some twists.
THE BAD
1. Story is kinda lacking. THAT'S WHY IT DOESN'T DESERVE A 10 BOZOS.
It's okay, but not very well developed, out of the blue, and gets a cheap happy ending.
2. Battle scenes do have some things that would never really happen in real life, and sure it's not a real life movie, but it looks like one, so should act like one in SOME of the parts.
3. The voices aren't the best (right, TIFA?)
OVERALL
It's worth seeing several times if you are a fan of the game, and while there are osme dissapointments, it doesn't take away the whole movie.
8.7/10
Now the I NEVER PLAYED THE GAME OR KNEW VERY MUCH ABOUT IT side:
THE GOOD
1. Looks pretty realistic.
2. Bahamut looks pretty.
3. OOOH FREAKY FIGHTING
THE BAD
1. WTF are those orbs? Sure, it's explained but...
2. Who are all these random people coming out of everywhere that everyone seems to know?
3. I don't get anything...
OVERALL
Good eye candy, but you don't get much of what goes on...
7.4/10
But all around, it's a great movie, not necessarily a must watch, but I recommend it.
