The film is, at least, a marvelously enticing advertisement for the upcoming Final Fantasy XV video game.

Rated: 2/4

Entertainment Weekly

Instead of trying to adapt the video game experience into a film format, Kingsglaive transforms the movie-going experience into something familiar to video game fans. It's essentially a really long cutscene.

Rated: C+

While "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV" has things to be admired, such as the phenomenal CGI, but it is ultimately a movie in which perhaps only fans of the video game would enjoy.

Rated: 2.5/5

Amazing visuals but violence, weak plot in game-based movie.

Kingsglaive is an incredibly beautiful film with a lot of fun nods to its Final Fantasy origins. Unfortunately, it never quite finds its footing story-wise, even with the help of some incredibly talented actors who breath life into their roles.

Rated: 6.9/10

This movie had beautiful art, a good story that will, if you watch before playing the game, will help you understand what's going on.

Just a collection of random FFXV cutscenes that they didn't have time to put into the actual game.

There is no coherent story. The characters face are all emotionless. DO NOT watch is horrorpiece.

When you see a low critics score and a high audience score, nine times out of ten it’s a goodie. This rule applies here.

Wildly considered a poor adaptation and a bad movie, but it's one of my favorite movies ever, not cause it's the most brilliant movie out there but it's still a good one off, seeing as it follows characters who are introduced and dismissed in the movie. the selfless actions of it's main hero, overcoming pain and adversity for the greater good.
