All in all, this movie has to be the best movie I've seen based off of an RPG if I ever saw one.
Eeeerm....how many movies based on RPGs have there been? Unless you're including anime, I can only think of one other. And even including anime, everybody agrees that all anime based on videogames basically suck. So although I know you didn't mean it, that was a pretty backhanded compliment.

Anyway, if you don't mind plot holes that the movie never bothers to explain or Cloud acting like a dense wad of angst, you can enjoy the movie. As Jerry Falwell said, non-fans can treat themselves to an action flick. That's all it was for me. As long as I didn't take anything seriously, I could laugh right along with the movie.

But I'm glad I didn't spend any money on it.
