SynopsisAC: Complete contains a considerable amount of new footage that the original version lacks, as well as roughly a thousand revised scenes. This adds a total of 26 minutes to the film.
Some of the new scenes include a more in-depth look at the Geostigma, Denzel and Kadaj's origins, as well as an extended fight between Cloud and Sephiroth.
The Japanese release of this edition features a new ending track from Kyosuke Himuro called "Safe and Sound", with additional lyrics from My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way. The track replaces Himuro's previous track "Calling" from the original cut of the film. However, in the North American release, the song "Calling" remains, and "Safe and Sound" is absent.

Most people probably remember back in the day when the original Final Fantasy Advent Children (FFAC) movie came out and they watched it. Animation was superb but it just didn't piece together like it should have. Heaps of holes throughout the movie made it hard for non-die-hard fans to enjoy the movie.
Final Fantasy Advent Children Complete (FFACC) is like its title says: "Complete". This movie is what the original should have been.
-STORY- 9/10
Well the story is pretty much the same as the original. However is it by far superior as all major holes have finally been filled. Popular questions arisen when watching the original movie include: "Why is this character here?" or "What just happened?" or "Who the heck is this guy?"
In FFACC most of these questions have finally been answered. Instead of a character appearing somewhere, the movie actually shows them getting there (or planning to). Instead of vague events that are hard to understand, these events are now in detail and explained properly. Instead of random characters appearing out of the blue and becoming main characters, we get to see their background. Denzel's background for example is now explained and hes not just some random kid who lives with Tifa for no reason.
There are now enough explanations in the movie for a person who has never played Final Fantasy 7 to actually understand what is going on. Although having played the game would still be recommended.
Only major flaw that remains in plot now is that Cid, Barret, Yuffie and the rest of the gang were once again very abruptly introduced. (Also a minus on characters)
-ART- 10/10
Question: What could be more amazing than the animation in FFAC?
Answer: FFAC animation in HD.
Not only was all of FFACC animation remastered to look spectacular in HD, but with the addition of many new scenes which were made with current-day technology, the movie is once again the top of the top in the animation industry. Anyone who doesn't watch this movie in HD has no idea what they are missing out on.
-SOUND- 10/10
The sound effects in the movie were perfect.
The music was once again perfect as expected of Final Fantasy music.
Dialogue was great. Cloud finally has more than 2 lines of dialogue as do all other characters. Only problem is that Red XIII still has a single line of dialogue at the end of the movie. (Possibly done for the novelty effect)
-CHARACTER- 9/10
Finally characters have been explained properly. Denzel is no longer some random kid who teleported into the world of Final Fantasy. All the characters have more screentime now. Zack now plays a larger role which should satisfy Crisis Core fans.
Major flaw in characters was that the three "baddies" seemed to have had a very vaguely explained entry into the movie. Still was an improvement over the original movie however.
-ENJOYMENT- 10/10
Being the big Final Fantasy fan that I am, I very much enjoyed this movie. Anyone who isn't particularly interested in Final Fantasy would likely still find this movie quite enjoyable though.
-OVERALL- 9/10
This movie was exactly what the orignal movie should have been. Most flaws have been erased and there is plenty of new material to satisfy anyone who has already seen the original movie. A must-watch for all Final Fantasy fans and is highly recommended to everyone else!
Notes:
-FFACC has roughly 30 minutes of additional content compared to the original movie. The location of the new content is not all bunched up but rather spread throughout the entire movie.
-All scenes have been remastered to look great in HD.
-Denzel actually helps out now and isn't a waste of pixels. read more

Ok, thins movie doesn't get as much credit as it should due to the first one. This is a must see for anyone not just Final Fantasy fans.
STORY
If you've seen the first one, you know it has alot of fan service by having all their favorite characters in the movie. It still has that and more, it fills all the plot holes and unanswered questions and other things that made you think "wtf?" All in all the story is well told.
ART
CGI graphics have never looked better than they do in Advent Children Complete. Let me just say that Blue-Ray DOES make a difference.
SOUND
Is situational, I have a surround sound system that made it seem life like, but as I said before it's all situational.
CHARACTER
In Advent Children Complete, the characters are more developed then they were in the original. Take Denzel for example, in the first one he is a completely new character with no background. In Complete they bridge that gap by explaining how and why he's living with Cloud and Tifa.
ENJOYMENT
The fight scenes are amazing! They're extended a little more than in the original. The story is easier to follow and the graphics will keep you in awe the entire movie. read more

Advent Children has a lot of sword fighting in it. If you liked it because of that you should definitely try out Bleach. The Shinigami are sword-wielding spirits, the animation is good and the story is even better.
good sword fights :D
ichigo's and cloud's swords are unusually large...

Both have a outstanding animation and go to way of "more action and less plot". Eye candy.
