 Exellent storyline and action-packed June 21, 1999

I happen to be a big fan of the Final Fantasy game series, and this is a perfect movie translation. The movie is based on FF5 (I've never played it, but it looks cool). I don't know how they managed to put a LONG game into a two hour movie, but they did, and they did very well. If you like Japanese Animation movies, or are a fan of the game series, this is a fantastic choice.
 Doesn't Measure Up June 10, 2000

Final Fantasy is one of those videos that you'd expect to be incredible, with a lot of action and CG enhanced battles, but after watching the movie for a second time, I'm beginning to realize just how dull this movie is. Cuteness and humor abound, and with a bad guy clearly meant for scaring anyone under age 7, this movie is hardly a classic. I'm not sure why they decided to make Pretz and Linaly look almost identical (but of different genders) but it really didn't show a lot of creative intellect on their part. You could probably say that for a real serious otaku, this video is a rip off, but for little kids who just want something to watch on a rainy day, this film is perfect. With no cussing, nudity, and almost no violence, parents should be relieved. I, however, thought I was being dperived and watching the super-cut version or something. The villians had basically no depth, and the characters just didn't have any obvious relationships to develop. I suppose this could have been better (and more acceptable) had it been done as a TV series, but as a two video anime, it stunk. They need to find a better way to depict a battle between good and evil besides glowing hairless ostriches flying at the enemy. I'm serious. That's how childish Final Fantasy is. I've heard all about the video game series, and according to my fellow gamers, its a work of art. They tell me the characters were creative, the plot was interesting, and the backgrounds were quite a thing to look at. This anime had none of those things, and it was obvious the animators couldn't care less that their backgrounds looked like they'd been done with Crayola markers. In short, Final Fanasy is lacking in cool battles and has WAY to much humor, no drama, and bland characters. Skip this one, its not worth your money.
 Supremely Cheesy July 20, 2000

This series was not at all what I expected. The plot, although mediocre, was certainly lost on all the really bad cheesy parts. If you want to buy this because you think it's like the original FF series on Video Games, don't waste your time. I found this series very humorous, though, but only because it was really cheaply done. I hate to sound like a critic or a Final Fantasy "purist", but the mangled plot, shallow characters, and the horrible music make this an unsuitable viewing for anyone who doesn't want to make fun of it.
 A very good movie. June 20, 2000

Okay, this movie is a mix of action and comedy. If you like movies with foul language, lots of violence, blood, and gore then DO NOT buy this movie. I myself like movies that have this, but also like everything else. This movie is mainly like the end of the world theme until a bunch of people become chosen by destiny to save the world that they live in. The movie has a lot of jokes, but it is mainly action. The characters are also very cool ESPECIALLY some creatures. My favorites are Prettz and the commander of the "Ironwing"(the vehicle is very cool)! Please buy this movie! You'll like it! I did!
Terrible, absolutely horrible May 4, 2000

It doesn't deserve the title final fantasy. Sure it carried the 'crystals' theme, and a chocobo here and there, but the story, characters, and plot development were bland. The animation quality needed some work; characters were not very deep and plot was paper-thin. Simply put, it was too short to develop any character associations or plot development that I found crucial in many other anime titles. Terrible, absolutely terrible.
