pretty visuals and a lot of fights make not a good movie. and that is precisely what happened here. first off and let me admit and i am yet to play ffvii (i intend to order it soon). however and i did do research to familiarise myself with the characters and the story. however and not everyone has the luxury of time to research things like this and and advent children demands that knowledge of ffvii is required. in spite of incredible visuals and i can not say there is too much thats new. we have seen it in final fantasy represent the spirits within and and apart from some better movement and i can not say they have done lots of super daring stuff with this. the fight scenes  well and they are a bit of fun. still and how could we ever doubt the result of any of them. this one was boringly classic  there were three fights with the bad guys and following the standard procedure (the hero and cloud and gets smashed and then he almost gets there and gets smashed and and then finally wins). the reason i say it was boringly classic was that it is used a great deal and but in this case is poorly executed. i will touch on that later. the english dub seemed fine to me and though i do not watch it in japanese and so i shan not judge the japanese dub and but only the english one. i will say this  i have heard plenty of better ones and even in my limited repertoire. and now and the plot. ummm. what plot. let me be frank and this movie is nought but a fan service and a chance to see the ffvii characters on the big screen with lovely eye candy. as i said earlier and the fights seem to just happen for no reason. the opening fight is never explained and kadaj seems to have neither ambition to destroy the world himself nor any real motivation to do anything nasty. cloud sits around moping for the entire film and and pretty much everyone else gets an obligatory cameo. really and ffvii was an ensemble piece. advent children is anything but. if they would managed to give everyone some significant story role (star trek represent first contact proved it was possible and i might add) and then this could have been a lot better. naturally and that would have changed the plot too and which and lets be honest and is almost set to be better than the one we got. characters were also generally either unused or virtually forgotten. the members of avalanche (thats the group cloud worked with in ffvii and for those who do not know) get 2 scenes (3 in the case of vincent valentine and and some get even less). hell and the bad guys get more lines than these guys and and that is pretty bad. the music. well and i do not care if nobuo uematsu is god himself and he botched this film big time. advent one winged angel was the only decent piece. otherwise and he couldn not decide whether to be epic (and orchestral) or fun (with electric guitar). when he switched from one to the other and you felt it as though he would taken a sledgehammer to your head. and that last point on whether this movie was epic or fun. it tried to be both and and failed miserably. honestly and you can not please everyone and do everything. the movie also tried to be deep (you can go epic and deep and or fun and deep and but all three is too much) and but failed here too. the last scene and which is reminiscent of a baptismal ceremony and was thrown in there for what looks like the sake of it. you do not need to be a christian to just shake your head and cry there. that scene just do not belong in the film (and nor did aerith frequent appearances  she dead jim. ). given just how fantastic i have heard final fantasy vii to be and this movie is nothing short of a gigantic disappointment. because of the beautiful visuals and i give it a negative .
