Title: I guess it really was the "Final" Fantasy

Square USA is closing it\'s doors.  Kind of hard to spend 145 million on a movie and only make 18 million.  Not too many business models will make that work.

Outside of Enron of course.

I thought they closed-up-shop a loooooooooong time ago.  Why did they wait until now?  Did they actually think they\'d make up for the loss in DVD sales or something?

heh it wasnt even a video game movie - if it had been based on a video game or an actual final fantasy then it would have been awesome imo - i mean imagine ff7 or ff9 with those graphics and a few more twists added in the story for surprise that would have been awesome

I know it\'s not saying much but "Tomb Raider" wasn\'t all that bad. (Why Laura, what big eyes you have!):cool:

Oh man, this is sooooooooooooooooooooo old news!

Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem, Crazy Taxi.. there\'s so much possible crud still heading our way.

And, btw, personally, I loved the FF movie!

I don\'t really think any video game would make a good movie.  Most of the storylines that don\'t suck are dumb or make no sense.

Let videogames be videogames and movies be movies.

i liked the ff movie though, although it\'s one of those typical japanese hard to understand stories...

I think instead of Aki Ross at no. 75, it should have been Ming-Na Wen (who performed her voice) on that list.  Now she\'s a beautiful REAL woman.
