Yeah it was nice, but it ruined all the mystery behind FF7s ending. Did Holy choose to remove all humans? Did it spare them? It should have been left at that.

I guess :). I watched it three times now (good thing the movie is pretty short), and with a little help from wikipedia, I'd say I get it. Absolutely great movie... I'll definately add it to my list ;)

Actually, I never cared about the storyline of Advent Children... it has Final Fantasy 7 characters and high quality graphics... that's more than enough!

I often have a rather peculiar movie taste. I often like "big movies", those which are often loathed by many, but I also often like a bit stranger movies and also classics, not often understood by many. This list is in no particular order (nor complete): - The Shining (1980) While the overall script isn't very good (even though an improvement on King's original book; it's not that I don't like King's books, I do like them, but honestly this one was not one of his best ideas; perhaps without all the unneeded supernatural things it would have been great) the acting in this movie is simply superb. Many people don't see anything special in it, but for some reason the acting in this movie just thrills me. This is the *only* movie I have ever rented on DVD where I have watched one scene about 30 times because it was just way cool, where the acting is just something I cannot describe. Many people may not see it the same way, but for some reason it thrilled me completely. It's the scene where Wendy (Shelley Duvall) discovers that Jack's (Jack Nicholson) writing is nothing but "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" repeated all over and the "talk" that follows. I think that both actors make a *superb* job in this particular scene. I'm actually seriously thinking about renting the DVD again just because of this scene. And of course the axing-through-the-door is one of the most classic scenes in the entire history of movies, which is also superb. (The fact that Nicholson worked as a volunteer fire marshal in his past probably added a lot to this scene.) - Psycho (1960) The shower scene (and its following "cleanup"). Do I have to say anything else? - The Matrix trilogy Deeper than it looks at first sight. Many people didn't like the two sequels. I did. All the three movies were different, which I think was a good thing (I do think that repeating the first Matrix movie two more times would have been a bad idea). Many didn't like how the story followed in the sequels. I think this is because they didn't understand it. Once you understand it, it makes sense. (The trilogy even leaves some unanswered questions, some of which people don't think about. For example, Morpheus says that the machines took control 100 years before, and that some people escaped from it and built the city of Sion. However, the Architect says that there were 6 Neos before the current one, 6 "reboots" of the system, 6 startovers. If each one lasted for about 100 years, wouldn't that mean that the machines actually took control about 600-700 years earlier? This would be quite plausible.) - The (newer) Star Wars trilogy. Many people diss this trilogy. I don't agree with them. While the story is a bit simple, it's still excellent entertainment. Curiously, even though I'm old enough so that I *should* be a fan of the original trilogy, I don't really like it. It's childish, as awful special effects (even for the time; compare eg. the first SW movie, made in 1977 to the movie Alien, made in 1979) and mostly boring. - The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Nothing to say really. It's just superb. - 12 monkeys Not many movies are still entertaining and deep the third time I watch them. - Fight club Another deep movie with Brad Pitt in it. (I suppose Snatch qualifies for this category too, even though it lost something the second time I watched it.) - Rambo: First blood I think this movie is a lot darker than many people remember. I think that Rambo summarized this movie the best in the second movie: "I want, what they want, and every other guy who came over here and spilled his guts and gave everything he had, wants! For our country to love us as much as we love it! That's what I want!" May sound cheesy, but it actually has some deep meaning to it. - Predator I think this is the movie (the only movie) which defines Arnold Schwarzenegger. This was my favorite movie as a teenager. - The silence of the lambs Anthony Hopkins got the oscar for a good reason in this one. There are more, but I'll stop now in order to not to make this post too long... And it's a complete list of 10 anyways. :P

Is that supposed to be a good thing? Meh, there's something about CG Yoda that doesn't feel right. To me, at least.

The cause of this probably is his overly smooth and expressive movements (especially from the physiognomical standpoint). That, and also the uncanny valley — the more real it looks, the more we tend to say "doesn't feel right" about it.

I would enjoy an entertaining 3-hour long movie. My top 10 should be back in this thread somewhere, all of which are great movies.

Just because someone doesn't like long movies doesn't mean that they are spoiled. I personally don't have very much interest in the entire medium, so a movie that is twice as long as the average is a bit of overkill, in my opinion.
