Title: Beautiful but disappointing.
Product review: I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy. Need to say that first. But I'm also a huge fan of film. And aside from Advent Children's technical brilliance, the story and dialogue are sorely lacking.The dialogue is in places laughably bad. The story straightforward and its metaphors cumbersome and obvious. Its creators somehow made me feel LESS invested in the characters I loved while playing the game.It's a brilliant technical achievement, but so little attention was paid to telling a coherent story or crafting entertaining dialogue that in the end I was just hoping it would stop.I can't imagine anyone who hadn't played the game understanding or caring about this at all. As someone who did play the game, I'm left sorely disappointed.For anyone who loved FF7 and just wants to see the characters again, it might be worth a viewing. For everyone else? Meh.
