Forums - Movies & TV - Kingsglaive: FFXV - A Box Office Flop? RT: 8% Meta: 35

The trailers looks great, and along with top notch actors and actresses doing the voice work, so naturally I had high expectations for this movie. I haven't seen it yet, because I'm waiting for the bluray version that is packaged in the ffxv deluxe edition...But the reviews...It Feels Bad Man. I hope it doesn't turn out to be another Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

Rotten Tomatoes 8%

Metacritic 35

IMDb 8.4

The New York Times "There’s a very real possibility that watching “Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV” could result in brain addlement."

Ouch..

Almost every critic seems to remark that this movie is only worth if you're planning to play the game. Couple it with the fact that there's some huge Critical Dissonance and there's the possibility that as a movie in itself (i.e: editing, pacing, overlong action sequences) it's bad, but as Final Fantasy content, it is enjoyable.



This just makes me want to watch it more xD



Huh, didn't think it would do this badly... #WillYarIt

Although IMDB is quite a high score and I usually go there for movies, I will see how it does once more scores come in.

Also Its not 8.4% on IMDB, its 8.4/10

Yikes at anyone who had high expectations. I expected 3 things.
-Beautiful CGI
-Stunning Action Sequences
-Amazing Art/Music.

I just hoped it was a step above Advent Children which was terrible film with some cool bits. Naturally any core Final Fantasy fan is going to enjoy more than the average viewer, but don't expect strong film making or storytelling from Square.

Eh, seems like critics didn't like Advent Children either and fan reviews are around the same as what Advent Children got. So I guess it will be a fun watch as an FF fan and somebody who plans on playing FFXV.
