I watched Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children today. (Finally.)
I can't say I understood everything that went on--while I did watch AJ play VII, I don't remember much about the story or the ending--but ultimately it was comprehensible enough. For a dead chick, Aeris sure does have a lot of lines. ;>
There were some crazy-cool fight scenes in this movie. The first scene was awesome because it featured the original battle music--and then the bad guy's ringtone was the music they play when you win. That cracked me up.
But the two major battles at the end were the best--first with the creature, then with the main-bad-guy-who-I-won't-reveal-but-you-can-probably-guess.
I was very happy when Cloud decided to stop feeling sorry for himself.
Cool thing: At one point, I thought to myself, "Cloud sounds like Yuuri." Well, what do you know. I think Sakurai Takahiro is my favorite voice actor :>
Final note: Tifa kicks ass.
Tifa is my 2nd Video Game heroine of all time. She wasn't a weak little healer, she was a frontline fighter who wasn't afraid to dish out a little ass kickin' while looking as hot as can be.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they made her look less like a barmaid in the movie, which was nice. Hey, even though she has a nice rack, at least she knows when be more modest with them (especially in a fight, since a little wife beater shirt rips easy) My only complaint is that she didn't do enough fighting in this one, I think. Her own fight segment was awesome, but i wanted to see more.
Oh, and on a tangent last note, my fave video game heroine is Elhaym van Houten from Xenogears, but that's a story for another time.
The 1st line of the second paragraph is kinda redundant, I meant to say "It was nice that they made her look less like a barmaid. For that I'm glad." or something to that effect, with my cousins here, I lost track of what I was writing when I looked over to see what they wanted, so I didn't get coherent thought in that one. My apologies
ReplyDeleteI agree that Tifa could have done more in the last half of the movie. After her initial fight scene, she just turned into a foil to get Cloud to get over himself, and otherwise mainly stood around looking pretty.
ReplyDeleteI did like seeing everyone on the airship, though. :D
