A lot of people thought Advent Children was terrible. I had my misgivings initially because I loved the ambiguity of the game's original ending (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4_sw0trdNc) ("did humanity survive?").
But oh my gosh I loved it so hard, regardless of how vague and flimsy the plot was. The casting was so perfect (homg Maaya Sakamoto (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=maaya+sakamoto&aq=0&oq=maaya+saka) as Aeris) and the characterization so delightful. It is the greatest 101 minutes of fanservice ever. So I am very happy to hear that you loved it, in spite of having never played FFVII.
I have to say this to Square Enix, though...
