FMV was only good when consoles were not powerful enough to deliver epic movie-like scenes(ie Final Fantasy 7) through their real-time engines. Metal Gear Solid was brave enough to use the in-game engine(albeit with added effects) to achieve its cutscenes and through the PS2 era we saw more and more games follow suit. During the PS1 era it would transition from amazing(for the time) FMV to contrasting real time gameplay(Resident Evil, Silent Hill etc). At the time no one cared because the FMV looked awesome and was actually a huge advantage the PS1 had over the N64. But now, looking back to that FMV, real time graphics of today look much much better. Real time graphics actually look much better than Toy Story, Bugs life etc these days. And you get to get the consistency of the graphical style by going through real-time cut scenes.
