Current music:Aerith Theme - Nobuo Uematsu

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (SPOILER ALERT!!!)
It was leaked this morning. Full review time! Warning: I am a fanboy. =P

Story: 8.9/10 - Rufus makes the Turks retrieve the left overs of Jenova from the North Crater. Kadaj, Lodz, and Yazoo then go after the remains for the rest of the movie. Kadaj gets it in the end and drinks the remains to transform into Sephiroth.

Music: 9.0/10 - Some new and a lot of old songs from the game. All of it was used well. Lodz having the "Victory" song as a ring tone was amusing.

Fights: 10/10 - Holy crap, there was a whole lot of fighting in this movie. All the action was fast paced with a couple of bullet-time breaks. Reno and Rude also had their own fight scene. Reno's slapstick actions were funny throughout all the scenes he's in. Materia is used sparingly through the movie. The way they animated the Omnislash was extremely awesome. While all the fight scenes were great, I would have liked some more action shown with Elena or Yuffie.

Ending: 9.2/10 - Aerith's face was being hidden throughout the movie until the end. They completely show her face when they're all in the church. Geostigma is also cured. Happy ending for all.

Overall score: 10/10 - It's been a long 2 years since news first broke about this movie. It's lived up to the hype and the legacy that is Final Fantasy VII. This is what the Final Fantasy movie should've been.

Notes: If this movie needed anything more, it would be more Yuffie and more Elena. Elena was dead gorgeous when first appeared to suddenly save Rufus. It's a shame that she didn't get to fight along with Reno and Rude. The movie also confirms two long standing rumors. Rufus survived being attacked by Weapon, and Tseng didn't die in the Ancient Temple. I want the art book for this movie now. ;_;
