Advent Children was wicked cool
OMFG. Huge AC movie rant, so beware...you're gonna see my addiction in full force in this one. And if you don't know anything what I'm talkling about..quit reading right now, please. x_x Just..don't go there right now XD However, for those reading that haven't seen it yet, it's safe. Nothing spoilerific. That'll be my next post I'm still working on writing ^^,

First off, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was worth every single second of the past 2 and a half years I waited for it. Every single second. It has to be the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Favorite video game + 90 minutes of CG = Greatest thing in the world.
When I completed Final Fantasy VII in spring of '98, I was 10 years old. Sure, I didn't understand much at that time, and I took out my dictionary at times whenever I came across a difficult word, such as "Rendezvous", but I grew to love it back that, even when I understood so little. Over the years, I still always played the game, doing more sidequests and what not..learning more and more, and I grew to love it more and more each time, despite how displeased I was with the ending that they left so wide open.
But now, around 8 years later, and almost 18 years old, I have a huge, thorough understanding of everything about the game(I've had 8 years of stuff to go through, yo!), and now, I just had my immense FFVII hunger satisfied by 90 minutes of Godly CGI, starring characters from the video game that started my Final Fantasy addiction, and forever shaped me into the freakish, obsessive fangirl I am today. Be afraid; Be very afraid. Good thing they left it open, yo! xD
I've read on the forums that people have said it was disappointing..but I didn't find even a second of footage that I was upset with. I was all jittery while I waited 4 hours for it to download. Then when my Bit Torrent tray icon turned white, my heart skipped a beat, and I rushed into BS Player. And I sat there. For 1 hour, 41 minutes and 1 second, I sat there, my eyes never leaving my computer monitor. It was that entrancing to me. For an hour after I finished watching it the first time(you didn't think I'd just watch it once, did you?), I couldn't sit still. I was smiling uncontrollably sitting on my couch, in shock, and in awe, at what I had just seen.
I'm still smiling when I think about it. Ear to ear, I'm grinning like a madwoman, and I think I scared my family this morning by my mannerisms. I got two hours of sleep before my nerves woke me up and I burned it to DVD and watched it in the living room, despite my brother's complaint about "I don't wanna hear japanese >_<".
And at this moment, I'm still watching it. Well, listening mostly right now, since I'm typing this, but it's playing in the background. xD
Cloud and Tifa were just..awesome. They were pretty much the main characters in this one. Tifa got more action than the other guys, minus Cloud, 'cause he's the main character of course. Speaking of whom, Cloud junctioning his swords together, busting out all these new attacks, blocking bullets, BLADE BEAM, so cool. I'm totally gonna buy my buster sword now.
And Tifa, what can I say? She kicked so much ass xD I was counting all the limit breaks she used on Loz. 'tis a shame she lost the fight though. Then she got on Cloud for being a wimpy complainer: "Zuru zuru, zuru zuru." Haha, I love her. Go Tifa! You told him! Guess they're gonna be living together again with Denzel and Marlene, right? o_O I believe that's what Cloud said. Anyways, yay for that ^^
Barret was impatient as ever, and his facial expressions made me laugh...I liked his new gun arm ^^
Cid still runs all fruity! I loved it! xD And I loved his voice. It was sooo Cid, ya know? Ooh, and he named the new airship Sierra "Shera" Tee hee, so cute.
Vincent...what can I say? BADASS. Much love to teh Vinnie. Especially the cape scene with Marlene. Too cute.
Yuffie! Omg, Yuffie, she made me crack up sooo hard.
Yuffie- "Who's been messing with my Materia?"
Tifa- "The bad guys, of course."
Yuffied- "Kuso!!" xD So funny the way she said that. She's still a materia nut :D
Didn't get to see or hear much from Red XIII or Cait Sith/Reeve =/ That was a bummer.
Denzel is absolutely adorable. Marlene too. She's definitely inherited some of Barret's attitude :D Cute little thing.
Reno and Rude...CLASSIC. Hilarious. Love those guys xD The sunglasses scene, omfg..I almost fell out of my chair. Those two are my heroes.
GOD I can't wait for more of the compilations to come out T____________T If they're anything like Advent Children, I'm gonna be in heaven.
AND AC BASHERS CAN GO TO HELL.
The true FFVII fan will love this movie, as I did, and so I recommend you go watch it, just to test your fandom :P
'course, you've gotta watch it in Japanese with subs for now, not that that stopped me and many other people from watching it...we download anime fansubs all the time! ^_^
So yeah, that's my rant. I'm gonna go back to watching again...It's like a disney movie when you're a kid; You watch it 'til it's memorized!
