It was a bonehead move to do an experimental movie with a super hot ip at the time. Advent Children should have came out in 1998 then years later Spirits Within.

Live reaction of general US and European moviegoing audiences in 1998 trying to comprehend the nonsense that is Advent Children

confusion

Wouldn't have done much better than Spirits Within probably. Both movies are boring, unwatchable garbage

The only good thing about Advent Children was some of the fight choreography, like the cool Tifa fight and Cloud's sword motorcycle. The story and what they did to all the characters was terrible.

This is basically how I feel about all FFVII media after the original game. Just completely lacking the tone and charm
