Suspension of Disbelief and Good Fiction.

[Joker]

I've only seen the original AC, and only ONCE, the day it came out, and I remember that shit. =/

 

[Masamune]

I maintain to this day that Nomura should have hired an actual director to co-direct with him. Someone who deeply understands tone, pacing, transition etc. Not Nozue, who's only worked on Kingdom Hearts FMVs. Sheesh, there's a world of difference.

 

[Tennyo]

I am sorry people, but how do you LIKE this? HOW do you LIKE this film? It is BLOODY awful!

"It goes without saying that it was SHinra who put this world in the sorry state it is in"

WOULD RUFUS REALLY SAY THAT? Would he balls. This isn't even in character. Rufus was a ruthless leader who did not give a shit.

You do realize that everything Rufus said in that convo with Cloud was a lie, right? Of COURSE Rufus would say something like that if it helps him achieve his goals. He doesn't really mean any of it. That's what makes him such a bastard.

You really only need the most basic of story comprehension skills to be able to understand this.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

I think I understand that this film is a disaster from start to finish. Obviously you watched it and don't have a clue why it is piss poor. That says more about you than me.

In that case I'll say that I liked ACC because I finally got to see the FFVII world in something other then lego graphics as well as well as how all the fights would go when you don't have to stick to the ATB. As far as the plot went, it was a lot better then I thought it would be given all the criticism it got.

Of course, that fact that I didn't have to pay for it might have something to do with it...

 

[DLPB]

Hey doofus, he's trying to con Cloud into helping them.

WOULD CLOUD BE CONNED? YOU SEE THE PROBLEM. CLOUD KNOWS RUFUS AND WHAT HE IS LIKE. You have substituted 1 bad logic for another.

Rufus wouldnt even ATTEMPT to con Cloud. And he is dead anyway!

"Sephiroth is dead"

"yes but is his mind dead"

LMAO! Maybe he took a mind source!

HAHAHahahahahahahaha

 

[ForceStealer]

..and...you'll notice Cloud doesn't help him....... How does that make Rufus ooc again?

 

[DrakeClawfang]

You guys actually think he's gonna approach ACC open minded?

 

[ForceStealer]

Of course not, I already told him it won't change his opinion, I just said if he's gonna comment on it, he sure as hell should see it first.

But even I can't believe THAT'S what he picks as an example of bad writing.

 

[Tifabelle]

dude...stop changing your posts after people have already replied to them. AND COME BACK AFTER YOU'VE WATCHED THE FILM. If you're commenting here, then you're not even paying attention to the movie.

 

[DLPB]

..and...you'll notice Cloud doesn't help him....... How does that make Rufus ooc again?

You are missing the point. It is an ABSURD SCENE which wuld not have happened. Rufus isnt thick. He wouldn't even have entertained it.

And that's before we even dissect this terrible dialogue that sounds like it is written by a 2 year old!

I am pausing it and writing down notes. It doesnt take a 6 yr old to know this film is awful and basic. It requires NO concentration and half of it is battle.

Why, he was doing such a good job already.

And that's before we even dissect this terrible dialogue that sounds like it is written by a 2 year old!

Okay then. You write a better scene. I'll be waiting.

 

[DLPB]

Okay then. You write a better scene. I'll be waiting.

Oh god not that chest nut, you can do better than that.

In that case I'll say that I liked ACC because I finally got to see the FFVII world in something other then lego graphics as

Now that is something I DO enjoy about this. Plus the characters look almost exactly like they should.

Interesting. Isn't the fact that you're pausing and writing ruining any attempt a suspension of dibelief? It's obvious you're not even trying to view it as a FILM. You're just watching a number of __ length clips, and picking them apart. That in and of itself essentially negates your opinion of ACC as a film, because you're not watching it like a FILM.

How about you watch the WHOLE FILM, and then go through and break it down for analysis like a REAL reviewer?

[DLPB]

It has ruined my suspension of disbelief in 5 minutes. And I have already watched AC, I know what to expect.

Seriously, how do you think this is better than AC, so far its more of the same shit?

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Oh god not that chest nut, you can do better than that.

Can you? Obviously you have a profound grasp of FF7's characters, as well as storytelling conventions. Tell us, o wise one, what your scene between Cloud and Rufus would be like.

 

[Masamune]

The frustrating thing about ACC is where they made some improvements they also botched scenes at the same time.

Cloud's fight with Sephiroth was given some snazzy new bells & whistles, and just as we're nearing the money shot:

Spoiler

oh hai pointless Zack fanservice

 

[ForceStealer]

"Rufus wouldn't be there because he's dead."

 

[DLPB]

PLEASE MAKE THIS STOP. It is really seriously hurting. It is so mind numbingly bad!

 

[LunarSkye]

Close the screen and stfu then.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

stfu then.

Please, make reasonable demands of him.

 

[DLPB]

Another battle. 1 min 15 seconds of impossible feats for a human being. Can you say "broken suspension of disbelief"?

 

[ForceStealer]

impossible feats for a human being

The TLS emote archive is overloaded with facepalms. And yet there aren't enough.

 

[Lord Noctis]

Another battle. 1 min 15 seconds of impossible feats for a human being. Can you say "broken suspension of disbelief"?

You know I seem to recall that lots of things happened in FFVII that no human can do in real life. Like Cloud falling off the sector five plate and living. Or Sephiroth flying around. Or people using marbles to cast magic. Or actuallybeing able to wield the Buster Sword, and then take on and defeat people with guns.

Guys, we clearly made a mistake here. Forget AC/C, this guy is obviously completely new to the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole.

It's also impossible for a human being to suplex an entire train, but it happens.

 

[DLPB]

This whole film is 1 long useless narrative that goes on about Sephiroth and has fight scenes here there and everywhere.

The fight scenes are geared on matrix, well, see, this isn't the matrix.
