Lem is right: Advent Children is absolutely amazing. It’s one of those movies where you think right after watching it, ‘I want to see that again, tomorrow.’

Cloud vs Kadaj

Favorite moments:

  • The mobile ring tone—hilarious.
  • That bit in the motorbike tunnel where Cloud takes advantage of how huge his sword is.
  • Reno and Rude were pretty cool, no matter what anyone says.

Reno and Rude

Watch some trailers here. But get the subtitled ones if you can—the dubbing’s not very good.

The overall feeling I got was that of getting to hang out with an old friend that you had some great times with back in, say, junior high. Then you’re back together for a day, and when it’s over you’re glad it happened, though disappointed that it seemed so short. My only other complaint is that I would have liked to see more materia and magic, (“Who’s using my materia?”) but that’s no big deal since I like fight scenes, too.

The most amazing thing about the movie? They got Cloud’s hair to look normal. Well, somewhat normal.

Unrelated note: check out some of the music available at HarveyDanger.com. I particularly like the first two songs.
