Doragon bôru: Saikyô e no michi (1996)
I wasn't expecting anything like this this.
Let me just start by saying out of all 20 films, this one is the best. However, I do have a few gripes as well. One thing I loved, was it's animation. It's honestly some of the greatest animation, losing only to super broly. I also LOVED the art style, which ended up looking like the manga. I mean, everything about the visuals in this film were gorgeous. Another thing that I liked, was the soundtrack. It's basically a remastered dragon ball gt soundtrack by Akihito Tokunaga (My favorite composer after Kikuchi). This movie feels extremely alive, in many aspects. As for the things I DIDN'T like. The biggest drawback with this movie, is it's breakneck pacing. It moves around pretty quickly. Another gripe I have, is the ending. I'm not going to spoil it, just don't get your hopes up. It's not terrible, it just, ends too quickly. We'll that's my review, this is by far the most unique dragon ball movie I've EVE watched. Besides my few gripes, this movie is a spectacular retelling of dragon ball's original story.
Fainaru fantajî sebun adobento chirudoren (2005)
Basically just a lousy cash grab.
The Good:
1. (Cool visuals) This film has spectacular choreography, angles, and animation. The best scene being the sephiroth fight. As a person who played the original game, this scene made my hair stand on end.
2.(Interesting concept) The idea of sephiroth living on in the life stream makes sense, and it's cool.
3.(Good dub) I hate dubs on a fundamental level, but Steve Burtons cloud, is the best cloud. A lot of the voice actors really fit their role quite well.
The bad:
1.(Outdated CGI) This movie came out in 2005, and CG has aged poorly. Play FF7 remake, and you'll see what I mean.
2.(One dimensional characters) The way this film portrays these characters, is AWFUL. I hate the villains, cloud is just this depressing fool, and the other avalanche members inclusion was pointless. Every, single, character, is BORING. And it's sad, because I loved this games characters.
3.(Bad script) The movies script is very vague, and honestly very hard to interpret.
4.(A lot of unnecessary cuts) I swear, every five seconds, the movie just shifts. Over, and over.
5.(Bad writing) While the concept is interesting, the writing around it is terrible. It could have gone better.
I hate this movie, always have. I'd say the only reason to watch, is if you're a big fan of seven. A REALLY big fan.
The Terminator (1984)
One of my favorite films, and for good reason.
Why in the hell did this movie get an eight?! This is one of the greatest films ever made!
