Why? Explain it. As far as I can tell, there are only three POSSIBLE reasons anyone could like this movie.

1) They enjoy the animation so much, that they overlook the plot and script.
2) They enjoy the action so much, they overlook the plot and script.
3) They enjoy anything with the name "Final Fantasy" in it so much, they overlook the plot and script.

These are all pretty crappy reasons to actually commend a movie. SURE the animation was excellent. It was BEAUTIFUL! But just good CG is NOT enough to make a decent movie (Prequels, anyone?).

Of course the action was cool! It was right on par with DBZ! I love watching people flying around in the air punching each other and driving around on motorcycles doing impossible stunts. BUT, that doesn't belong in an FF7 movie. FF7's story was so AMAZINGLY COMPLEX, and this movie, which is suppose to be a sequel, doesn't even come CLOSE to having a good story. If it had been "Generic Action Movie #109209129," then it possibly could have been half way decent once you took into account the animation.

But it's not "Generic Action Movie #109209129." It's "Final Fantasy 7 : Advent Children."

The entire movie revolves around COOL ACTION, whereas the entire game revolves around story. Jesus christ, have you even PLAYED the game? It escapes me how ANY serious fan of the game could actually ENJOY this movie. AC did to FF7 what TPM did to Star Wars.

If there is some DEEPER MEANING for your enjoyment of the film, please, enlighten me! Let me know how someone could find enjoyment in such an inane, pointless, flawed movie. I'm really dying to know.

Actually, scratch that. You can waste your time with LOL COOL ACTION. I'd prefer to waste mine with LOL INTERNET.
