Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals

This mini-series is action packed and hilarious. The character designs, especially of Rouge and the captain of the Iron Wing (forgive me, I forget his name) are outlandish and fit the personalities. It's very faithful to the Final Fantasy games and much less serious.

This movie was made by people who are into loli undies, because I kept seeing the girl's knickers showing again and again all throughout the movie. This girl also has a glowing butt when the crystal inside of her gets activated. In one scene a big ray comes out of her ass to activate something, if you're into Two Girls, One Cup and jailbait you might find that a turn on, but what's this doing in a Final Fantasy movie? There's another scene where the main bad guy looks like he's masturbating, it was really obvious that the energy of the universe was giving him a hard on. The pirate in the movie is a dominatrix and the scene with the big military guy wearing a leather bra should gives that impression. The pirate gets a scratch on her boob and her general lover goes berserk at the enemy.

There's lots of loli undies, dominatrix's, glowing butts and butt rays and little plot. It's best to forget this movie after you watch it and Square Enix should pretend they never made this movie.

Don't watch this expecting a strong, serious plot like many of the FF games, it's a very fun, action-packed mini-series with a sense of humor. I actually prefer this over the Alec Baldwin FF, even though this is clearly for younger audiences.

This one was much more like an actualy FF story. It had four very different lead characters (the cocky swordsman, the gruffy old soldier, the spunky tomboy and the innocent magic user), chocobos, air-ships, and crystals. The animation isn't the greatest in the world, but it's by no means not good. The action is very well done, but not overdone. The best part of the film is it's sense of humor, however. The film never takes itself too seriously. Some FF die-hards might think it's too light-hearted, but the best thing they can do is remember it's just a movie, and FF is just a video game.

To sum it up: What works: Good action, decent animation, a very FF story, and a sense of humor about itself. What doesn't: It's sometimes a little too light-hearted. Great scene: Trying to get a crystal to leave a girls body, a pirate forces the girl to drink lots and lots of prune juice. Rating: Unrated, but contains mild anime violence and some mild sexuality.

I saw this a few years ago, and remember little except my poor reaction to it. It struck me as very childish, with one-dimensional characters, and an unoriginal idea. 'Save the crystals, save the world' was already getting old in the video game series by this point, and it felt like an attempt to milk something popular. You'll probably like this a lot more if you are younger, and Final Fantasy-obsessed, but it really wasn't worth the rental for me.

Do not listen to the morons who dont find the spirit within this great movie... if you have any love for the Finalfantasy games watch this! Ok so its oldscool(Visuals,music,plot...)but so are the games. The Japhumor is crazy as in most anime but their is peace to be found here also. The english dub is ok. As with the games,the thing you will be left with after seeing this is a Good,Chill feeling that you will want to experience again and again...
