I enjoyed that one. Honestly, I think it would have done better if they didn't decide to slap the Final Fantasy tag on it, since it has nothing to do with any of the games. The only connection it has (if you can call it a connection) is a scientist named Cid. That's the only Final Fantasy element in the movie.
Well yeah but barely any FF title has any connection to each other anyway. I liked the small things, like Cid, but to me it's just a futuristic and more modern Final Fantasy.
To be honest, Final Fantasy always had a blend of futuristic society/setting. The opening for 13 alone shows the difference of Grand Pulse (untouched nature) with the society of Eden which use monorail type rails with large machinery and heck, one of the first enemies you come across is a Warmech machine. Same with 7 and the Shinra corporation and the technology there.
It sucks that Spirits Within failed because it looked amazing, but just wasn't that interesting and the obvious, far from source material problem that the RE films have. Some amazing feats in that film though. They individually animated hairs on characters head....and then sunk all of Sqaures film department. D:
Even if you look at the film away from the series, you then begin to realise how bad and a mess Squares writing is. When you take away gameplay from a Square game and leave in all the crap story that's ...just crap, then you're left to watch it. With the games, the gameplay is what generally keeps it going.
As for KoF. You will laugh at that film dude. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAWhat a craptacular film
SO STUPID!
Another crap film
The Legend of Chun-li. WOW that's a stinker!
But!? Now a good film would be Street Fighter 2
The Chun-li/Vega fight is awesome!
And the classic "so bad it's good"
Street Fighter The Movie
