Has anyone watched the movie yet?
I watched it yesterday and although it's a cool movie I believe it had the potential to be much better. As far as I see it this movie is to the series what FFX-2 is to FFX. It was made to pay the fans a service and tie up some loose ends. However, while I loved FFX-2, Hagaren the Movie left me wanting. There are quite a few unexplained events and the enemy's motives are bland at best. For example, there's a certain creature there that used to be a certain somebody but how that transformation came to be or how the creature ended up where it did are two things that aren't explained at all. The viewer is left wondering.
It's a nice movie but it doesn't do the series justice. The best things I got out of this movie were the ending (fan service), two great L'Arc-en-Ciel songs and the gorgeous Limited Edition (best dvd edition I've bought so far).
