Yeah, that's how I saw it, too. Spirits Within was a good film by itself, but with "Final Fantasy" tacked on the title, it was lost on FF fans. I was expecting to see airships and moogles and espers/aeons and such. What we got instead was entirely different.

There was a guy named Cid, that's about it.

Ugh! A movie, a cartoon series, and a proposed live action show... all sucked, IMO. The game was great, no doubt about it, but sometimes they have to just leave these things as games.

Actually, I didn't know Street fighter did that well. I just assumed, since other than the Tomb Raider ones, you never really hear much about these video game films.

Seriously. They NEED to make a new Mario film. All animated. Even if they have to collectively go back in time to stop the first one from being made. Or delete everyone's brains so no one remembers it.

I think a Mario movie could work if they used live-action for the 'real world' parts and animation (Or CGI I guess) for the Mushroom Kingdom scenes.

Then again, I also like the first one.

I would say an ALL CGI film would work pretty good (even though I'd rather opt for 2-D, but given the character's appearances currently, it would work better).

The actual live action film....well... I liked it to an extent when I was younger, I have to see it again to make a judgement. They got everything WRONG, except I felt Bob Hoskins played Mario well. Danny DiVeto was originally signed up to play him, but that may have been a rumor. I really like John Leguizamo, but he was ALL WRONG for the part of Luigi. Plus, I feel they tried to work in too many game characters as random human characters. Toad was pretty bad, Spike and Iggy could have had other names that would have made more sense, and making Big Bertha a fat woman, and not a giant fish? Eh?

The scene on the elevator with all the "Goombas" swaying back and forth and singing is priceless.

Here's hoping that this movie doesn't suck...

AMEN! That was the best! I think I want to see this film again, just for that scene.
