Review of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

The movie is average, but certainly better than the game it was based on(And I say this as a full-fledged fan of the FF and JRPG genres) . Another movie based on a game, something like Tekken Blood Vengence. The fights are typical JRPG. If the figure had been cut in half, it would have stood for another hour. And although the fights can be spectacular, on the other hand everything else makes no sense. Characters jump from left to right as if I were watching Transformers The Movie 1986. The only difference was that Transformers The Movie 1986 had music to match the situation. InAdvent Children there is some boring, incongruous music played on a piano. It doesn't help even when you hear a remix like "Thurks", "Jenova", "Those Who Fight" Or "Fanfare". The plot isn't any better either. The creators probably don't know whether (FFVII Spoilers) the characters are alive or dead. But I can't be too harsh on this movie considering it will influence the series quite a bit. After all, if it weren't for this movie, we probably wouldn't have gotten Cloud in Dissidia or Chinese Demake on Nes. After all, there is nothing more creative than Sect on Motorcycles.
To sum up: The movie is okay, I don't recommend it if you haven't played the game, but it's better to watch it in this order:
Crisis Core on Psp --> FFVII Remake/1997 original --> This Movie --> Dirge Of Cerberus On Ps2 --> (Maybe I'll watch Advent Children Complete someday)
Ps: I do not recommend Japanese dubbing. It's not that he's bad, but he just doesn't fit in with a lot of characters like RedXIII or Vincent Valentine. Especially when playing Dissidia or Remake in English. It's actually funny that RedXIII got a special place in the credits even though he said maybe 3 sentences
