My little brother. That's 1. So... yeah.. at least 1. Probably not too many more than that.
I'll be getting this tomarrow/today so he can see it and odds are I'll probably just give it to him as a random present...

Oh wait.... I didn't care about seeing this movie.....forget it. However, even if I did care I still wouldn't have. Not all of us have the means to do that.
It was well over half a year ago when I pre-ordered this DVD, watched it witg Cal, fell asleep watching it, attempted to start it again, eventually watched it in bits, and decided it was wank.
lol well, to the suprise of my friend and I, it sold out here. Of course the store we were going to get it from only had 25 copies to begin with...
Oh well. I rented it so I could show it to my little brother. If he likes it I'll buy it for him later.

I'm a FFVII fanboy now? I find the game average if you must know. It was great in 1997, but it aged terribly IMO (worse than FFVI).
But I also think the movie (regardless of its use of FFVII assets) is a terrible movie (notice the bolding for emphasis). At least the game had a freaking story.
I just skimmed this thread so I dunno what's been said . . . but I picked this up . . . and MAN the english dub SUCKS! You watch the documentary and the japanese voice actors are maticulously instructed to get the most possible emotion out and it shows in the jap track, but oh MAN get a buncha hollywood idiots and you're payin them for their precious time to do a mediocre-ass job. When they mentioned rachel leigh cooke and that bitch from american pie/beauty/virgin I expected something descent. Oh well I'm just glad it includes the jap trakc and subs.
Awesome movie of course and after watchin the special features, I feel a little better about the lack of story. It's more of an artistic expression with really cool fucking scenes. I mean let's not fool ourselves, FFVII was really intruiging when it came out, really involved, but the novelty of an animated storybook is lost these days with a cheesy plot. So let's not dawg this addition, I'd say storywise it's more or less on par with the original game.
Man, Cid is a hick in the english track!? WTF? Well they nailed Cait Sith. He sounds like a douche in both tracks
Oh and I might buy PS2 for Dirge of Cerberus now. The trailer made it look real fucking cool. I think the cg scenes alone would be worth it.
Well i can't claim to hear too much japanese talk, but the japanese actors at least sounded like they were trying! Yeah the dialog is laughable, but it probably didn't translate too well either.
The inherent handicap and critical flaw in dubs is the desire to synchronize with the original video. Do you think Mena Suvari would suck on Family Guy? No, because she'd be free to voice her part however she wanted because the video would adopt her speech pattern, not the other way around.
Personally, I accept FFVII:AC for what it is: eye-candy and a money grab. It's also a lot closer to what people wanted originally when Square started talking movies..
We all remember the disapointment with "Spirit's Within." And that movie actually had a story. This time they just gave us what we said we wanted. FF:VII. They made it specifically to please the fanbois, and so they have.
There are a lot less people disapointed with this movie than "Spirit's Within."
In the end, it probably accomplished what Square wanted. nuff said.
Oh I'm not disappointed! It was this fanboy's wet dream!
Doom, you're probably right but actors are usually presented with challanges. Not everything is what they wanna say and how they wanna say it. They are ACTORS that's the point. They could have read the lines with a little more conviction. And I noticed something about the sound mixing made the vocals sounds kind of weird, like they wern't actually coming from the characters. Maybe it's just my audio setup. Anyway, for the english dub I thought the best acted was marlene heheh.

I think ff7: ac is at number 1 here in america and 3 in britian on amazon. A little was left to be desired but some of it wasn't to bad. Even though i feel it's not a 100 percent official sequal (just regular fanservice) they could have thought more on it. It's still nice to see the cast again:D.
