I admit the story could of been better. I hope the idea is fixed in FFVII:AC.

This is true, and besides, this topic is way too old.
"I've spent the last ten years of my life defending my country, I've sacrificed for it, fought for it, and bled for it, now it's time I got something back, so please just respect me and my fellow Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines as we continue to do this job."

The Sailor Moon one that airs in Japan starred a slew of less-than-attractive actresses. Coulda chosen better I think.

If they haven't been able to hit George Lucas with that charge, I don't see you getting far with SquareEnix

(...then again, I personally think this whole thing is being set-up for some let-down potential anyways, so I'll just shut up again)

yeah but the things is: i don't care about star wars. Final Fantasy is actually a major part of my life, if the film aint good it'll severly fuck my mind and shatter my image of squarEnix as being a good, wholesome company.

It's the same in principle though...people get into the franchise, the franchise makes a bad move, and suddenly they respond like they've just been forsaken by them...

Again, I'll say, given the build-up I wouldn't get your hopes too high on AC...let's face it...the bar's been raised pretty high for Square and, as such, the odds of them being able to match all the expectations are slim...

...but, we're kind of getting off topic here...so, in an attempt to bring this back to the main point:

There's prob. people who are thinking the same thing about live action EVA...

this is true, but i think live action Eva will be absolute crap, as for why you can just take a quick peek at the Eva section of my earlier long-ass post.

yeah, Eva is just too complicated of a mech system to make a good movie out of.
now if they were using maybe Full Metal Panic or Dual, i could see posibilities
Freddy vs Jason vs Alucard

That all depends and what you're deeming "original" and "unoriginal". Personally, I see original ideas all the time...I'm not sure what Hollywood you speak of. People just seem to call everything a ripoff just because theres some tiny shred of some similarity between 2 movies, shows, videogames, ect. Its getting rediculous, and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. People are just looking for something to deem a film "unoriginal" by now. Pretty soon a movie absolutely like no other will come out and people will say "omg its actors are human...HOW UNORIGINAL! HOLLYWOOD WHY ARE YOU RECYCLING IDEAS!?!?".

Personally, I don't find anime to live action adaptions appealing in the least, but I've seen plenty of originality from Hollywood that never stops coming. If the last original thing you saw was in 1996, you obviously have been living under a rock, beneath a staircase, in an abandon house with no lighting in the middle of Stonewall, Oklahoma for the last 8 years.

Or your sadly unobservant. :P
