once again, ladies and gentlemen, my elitist-ism is rearing its ugly head. -.-
Anyway, today, i will share my opinions about the horribly terrific, absolutely addictive, glorious and utterly AMAZING movie, called Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. I was an avid fan of the original game where it was based off of, called Final Fantasy VII, (although i didn't play it -- i just watched my brother play it) and seeing the characters to whom i grew attached made my heart burst with excitement. *fangirlish-giggle* It was absolutely WONDERFUL to see Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Vincent, Yuffie, Red, Cid, Reno, Rude, Rufus, Tseng, Elena, Marlene, Sephiroth and Zack (note the absence of some flower merchant's name) be resurrected into the wonderful world of...finer 3d graphics.
First off, Cloud, in all honesty, looks absolutely hot. He really does. Not like he wasn't hot and handsome during the first FFVII, but really...resurrecting him like that made him even hotter, if it was possible. He also grew so much cooler (i love fenrir! that motorcycle rocks my world), with all his moves and the slight upgrade of his wardrobe. The animation of his hair was absolutely AMAZING, BREATH-Taking, i say...actually, SQUARE-ENIX did a wonderful job on everything. And when I say everything, i mean everything. Even if the story was quite corny, it was still sooo superb. Absolutely fabulous. Midgar, the ShinRa building, the stupid little chapel where Cloud (damn him) lives.
Another stupid thing -- the place where Cloud lives. C'mon, Cloud, MOVE ON! Living in that stupid chapel where Aerith picked her flowers?! go die, Cloud. I mean, what the hell are you doing?! WHAT the EFFING hell was that about?! Tifa, dammit, TIFA~! She's been there for you, like what, your whole life, and you spend the rest of your life mourning over some stupid flower girl that Sephiroth killed?! Damn you Cloud, Tifa is much PRETTIER than that stupid Aerith! aaaargh!
Argh. That was one thing horribly irritating about the movie -- Cloud having a hangover over Aerith. Wallowing in self-hatred because they just 'let her die'. Cloud, you damn sexy idiot, it was her TIME! and she was killed by the uber sexy Sephiroth, so just go and DIE, Cloud, okay?!
OOOOOOKAY. I love Tifa, so very, very much. She's so pretty. She's so beautiful. Although i would wish for a chest reduction for her, she's still very pretty and kind and cool. That fight scene in the stupid little chapel -- sooo cool. It really was. I can't find the words for it. That fight with Loz (who strikes me as a crybaby and a wuss) was soooo damn cool. And when she landed on the wall, with that pose and that stare -- the BEST. and the way the flowers' petals burst into the air...gee, that fight was really, really awesome. Wrecking a pew with your (not-so-bare) hands...nothing really can beat Tifa. Aerith can never do that in her whole lifetime, even if she does live again.
Denzel, meanwhile -- man was that funny. When i was watching AC for the first time, i thought maybe Denzel was Cloud and Tifa's son. Really, i did. I mean, mako-blue eyes...hair...and that he's being taken care of by Tifa...but then i suddenly realized that AC happened only TWO years after the original VII...so that was a stupid thought. But actually, it was rather cute that Tifa, Cloud, Marlene and Denzel were all living together. ALSO: the whole 'Strife Delivery Service' thing by Tifa-- that made me think that Tifa and Cloud were already married. I really think the stupidest things.
Marlene said a weird line -- pertaining to Aerith, she said 'Oneesan'. So i thought 'What?! Kapatid mo si Aerith?!?!?!' And then i remembered Marlene was Barret's daughter. But then, I wondered -- what the hell is Barret doing, leaving his daughter with Tifa? It was then that i realized that i shouldn't think too much.
I also loved the fight scene with Bahamut. Really fine and dandy, i say. Absolutely superb. I was squealing the first time i watched it when i saw the missing characters come in one by one. Barret. Red. Cait. Yuffie. Cid. Vincent. The whole party was reunited, fighting against a god/summon. WHOO! such glory it was -- i liked the part where they all throw Cloud upwards so he can defeat Bahamut. Well, except for the last part, when Aerith took his hand and pulled him upwards.
Damn i hate Aerith.
Anyway, let's get on to the three Sephy-clones, Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz. Kadaj is very deranged yet very sexy (leather!); Yazoo is very cool and sexy (gunblade!) while Loz, is just...Loz. Vina told me a few days ago that Yazoo and Kadaj all looked like matured and adult Rikus.
What else, what else? Sephiroth looked scrumptious, as usual. Very cool single black wing, i say. And of course, all fight scenes were simply fabulous. The motorcycle chases, the swordfights near the ShinRa company building -- hell, even Rufus falling off the building was great. And i absolutely LOVE the super cool feature of the Fenrir -- that whole sword-holding compartments. Not only one -- not two -- not even three or four -- SIX! six damn swords! I love you Cloud.
I hate Aerith. I hate the fact that Cloud fell in love with her, and not Tifa. I hate the fact that she still manages to insert herself into the storyline even when she's already dead. I hate the fact that Cloud still loves her even though she's already dead. I hate the fact that she still lingers on and continues that stupid love triangle between her, Cloud and Tifa, when it's already supposed to be a whole Cloud/Tifa affair. Aerith needs to move on to. C'mon Aerith, you have ZACK! go make out with him in heaven or something!
All in all: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children: Simply magnificent.
