Memorable, crazy movie

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Overall, the game-play was pretty good, but I expected more considering the time Square Enix spent developing this game. I liked how the developers tried to cater for newcomers to the Final Fantasy franchise with simple game-play mechanics and threw in some new ideas. The open world design was not bad either, and travelling around in your car/chocobo was a lot of fun.The biggest complaint I have is with the story and the characters in this game. The main story line isn't very compelling and some parts don't make much sense, even more so if you haven't seen the other materials made for FFXV. The characters lack depth and aren't developed very well. Noctis and Lunafreya's little love story has little to no back story and zero romance with an anticlimactic end. Noctis is not much of a hero to look up to, he's just an over-emotional spoiled brat. Ignis is pretty much a nanny-robot. Only Prompto and Gladius were characters that felt right; Prompto brought a light-hearted humour to the four- man gang, and Gladius was the big brother that Noctis needed much to have his back and toughen him up. Ardyn's actions are confusing and his motives aren't explained very well. All the other characters are just one-dimensional and simply forgettable.Other minor complaints I have are with the camera and the lip syncing. The camera was all over the place; a lot of the times it is hard to tell what is going on, more so in small tight spaces. The lip- syncing was just disconnecting.All-in-all, even though my review contains mostly complaints, it was a good action RPG, but it definitely is the weakest in the Final Fantasy series in story and characters.

The film opens with a rather lengthy introduction. I was confused by a number of things, like the princess staying behind and Lucis being the name of the good guy. Since when? Good guys in a city behind a wall. It is protected by the "Divine Crystal" whose magical powers are channeled through the aged King Lucis to both make a wall and give the Kingsglaive magical powers, particularly warping. Outside the city of Insomnia (seriously?) lives the evil empire with Starship Trooper bugs and a Kracken looking thing. They want the city and the rock.Like most films based on a game, there is little drama and a lot of fighting. I love the graphics and the Barbie Doll Uma Thurman Princess. My background is the gaming world is I played FF 1-8. Having spent the bulk of several months breeding and racing Chocobas, I got the sign on the truck. The film didn't allow me to connect to the characters. When a major character dies, I was emotionless unlike the week I had to take off of work when Aerith died. Apparently this game didn't having any healing spells as one character spends the entire film on a crutches.The plot twists around deceit and a royal wedding. And the ending...if I understand it...leaves things terribly open. Great action, great graphics, a plot you needed to pay attention to, and no Tifa Lockhart looking characters. Much better than the FFVII film.

To start with, I have to say that this is the first film of the saga I watch, my interest in it began when I played the video game. First I saw it with the thought that the game is a masterpiece, willing to know whether the film was a match for the game or not. I must admit it is ; Takeshi Nozue has done a very good job, and the film is really worth to be seen. I think it must be a difficult thing to do, create a film based in a video game. It can't be easy, but the way in which Nyx, Libertus and the rest of the characters have been developed is absolutely amazing, so good that you want them to have their own game, that way you would be able to play and enjoy it. However, there is no perfect film, and there is a part I didn't like that much. It is the battle between the General and Nyx carrying the ring of Lucii. Everything happened too fast, and there where parts of the fight in which I couldn't distinguish one character from the other.In summary my opinion of this FF15 film is very positive. I had a great time and I really think it is worth spending a couple of hours watching it specially if you are keen on the video game

I wasn't expecting much from this film based on Squeenix's track record in film making. Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within was a fine experiment and a revolutionary piece of animation for its time, but it was far from a great film and highlighted how difficult it is to tell a complex and fulfilling story in a 2 hour time frame rather than the dozens of hours a role playing game is allotted. Final Fantasy 7 - Advent Children was another uptick in the advancement of CG and a great action piece, but it was ultimately nostalgia porn for those of us who loved the original game. Kingsglaive - Final Fantasy 15 is a leap in terms of the animation quality, all but eliminating the ability to discern between animation and reality, but it's also a product of experience. Finally, the writers, animators, producers and directors at Square Enix have acquired the experience to harness the advantages of the medium and have delivered a film that I wish I could have seen on the big screen.Not only does this movie setup Final Fantasy 15 brilliantly, it's a damn good film in its own right. It has just the right mix of suspense, action and drama and was surprisingly well written and voice acted (including an all-star English voice cast.) Watch it on the biggest screen you can and be amazed at how far Square Enix has come!
