Yeah I agree. People hyped it up so much that when you actually saw it, it was more of a joke than anything. Heck, they still hype up the game to where Square can pull anything out with those characters and it will be a hit. In all honesty, I can't even look at the original game too much anymore because of all the constant hype.
FYI - Advent Children (The FF Movie with the characters from 7) wasn't that great imo. Sure, it was visually pleasing and the fights were cool, but the story and characters seemed to lack the charm that we remembered from them. But because it's from VII, I've had people yell at me for saying the movie wasn't good.
