It's not always bed, i found Pokemon the first movie in a pile of poundland movies.


Anyway off topic (sorry), did you know poundland sells Porno DVD's. Now who's sad and desperate enough to buy £1 porn?

What kind of poundland do you have?? :eek:

i swear poundland is a haven for children. to have porno in such a place....what has the world come to?

I still have the 1st pokemon movie and all my pokemon cards hidden in the bottom of my closet. im guessing in a few years they might become something of a collecters item.

:lol:
i was in stevenage last weekend. luckily never went near poundland.
eggybob is there any dedicated anime/manga stores in herts?

I think the closest there is, is a comic book store in Stevenage Old town but i've never been there. Waterstones has a small selection of manga and the HMV just got rid of it's main anime section and merged it with world cinema.

Damn it, the only decent place to buy anime and manga in beds is in MK.
been thinking...does everyone who lives in east anglia and london want to meet up?
 
I didn't really like it a lot when I first saw it, but I've watched it since and really enjoyed it.

I just want them to hurry up and get this special edition blu-ray out...it's gonna look FANTASTIC in HD. :)

Yeah, the same ****** storyline and character development... IN HD!

Go spend your money on something worthwhile d00de.
 
After a day in work, and whatever other hassle I have to endure, the last thing I care about is character development. =/

Brilliant !!! You're a genius to put in words my feelings =D I do like things as food for thought, but sometimes, I just want (if not most of the times) I just want something to turn my brain off for a while.

Fair enough, but what therefore is the draw to Advent Children specifically? If the characters are taken out of the equation, why not any of the millions of brainless action movies out there, made on greater budgets with less lengthy sequences full of perpetually swaying young children listening to 'cool in '97' Goth Teens talking about their Oedipus complexes? Advent Children is an insult to brainless entertainment (for starters, it clearly *thinks* it's clever even if no-one has ever fooled themselves into believing it is). There are many, many better bad films out there.
 
The movie isn't for you, Kupoartist, you've heard it before, let's wait for Square Enix to make Final Fantasy VI: Kefka's Return. >_>
 
I personally couldn't fault the movie, the first FF film was abit different, but advent children was good, FF7 was square enix' goldmine, and the film's story line wasn't excellent but it wasn't dreadful either, its one of those "yeah i don't feel i wasted that 2 hours but it wasn't breathtaking" films. awwell.

7/10

Sure i've heard it before, and it's still a weaker defence than Hadrian's Wall. Furthermore, I:
a) enjoy brainless action movies.
b) have played and enjoyed Final Fantasy VII.
c) Am between 15 - 25 years old.

So how am I not slap bang in the target audience for this thing? Oh yeah, because I don't like it. Therefore it's not for me. :p

Outside of the designated biweekly visiting weekend, If Square-Enix come within 1km of Final Fantasy VI, the police have powers to arrest them. Or we can only hope.
 
I hate most standard Hollywood style action movies with a few exceptions (love kung fu films though). I loved Advent Children, though I wasn't expecting to. Maybe it's the kind of mindless action film for people who don't normally go for mindless action films but want some gorgeous visuals and cheap thrills?

Maybe if Hollywood made some more films with lots of explosions, car chases, magic and astoundingly beautiful men in black leather, they'd be able to tap this powerful market sector too!

Actually beautiful people that is, not pouty 18 year old boyband wannabes and pop tarts selected by casting directors who aren't really in touch with the audience's desires. Mmm.

My friends love this (FF fangirls) and I don't think its that bad, but then its not that good either.

One of my friends (who adores all the pretty boys) and me end up just making fun of it usually. Must to the disgust of our other friends >.>

Advent Children is entertaining; I'm guessing that's what the draw is. Regardless of whether you want to see the character development or not (it is most definitely there, it's just slow), the visuals, fight scenes, character designs, voice acting and music are all of a high standard and are very entertaining.

Your hatred for Advent Children is so ridiculously over-the-top that it's glaringly obvious that you dislike it for reasons beyond it's actual quality.
 
That's all good and true, but Advent Children lacks one key component which drives a film to it's maximum potential, a great storyline, sadly Advent Children is severely lacking one.

The story of Advent Children is weak (especially compared to FFVII's) and it's clearly just a vehicle to develop the characters and show off the world of FFVII in glorious detail, but I have to admit that I enjoyed it. Geostigma, Kadaj et al and the resurrection of Sephiroth are all entertaining..

Ballsacks. Advent Children has nothing on my nuclear powered Halo Hate Van.

And actually, no, you're just simply wrong. Everything about this film is below average. Since having reasons for hating something is simply 'over the top', I may as well start stating things tersely.

In all honesty: the characters (they could have sat fishing for 90 minutes and I'd think it ruled) and the jazzed-up music.

...and I quite fancy Tifa, but that's between you and me. >_>
