Actually the characters in the Diablo II cutscenes showed more expression and emotion than in Final Fantasy. They should get some of the Blizzard artists to work on the next Square picture.
But that's all they really need to fix. Human facial expressions are the hardest to pull off. We are humans and we know what humans have to look like. If they don't look that way, it is blatantly obvious it's fake. That is why some of the best animated characters aren't humans. Take Bugs Bunny for instance. Do you know what a rabbit looks like when it smiles or laughs? No, that's why when you see Bugs do it, it's believeable.
The other thing that would have helped this movie would have been to have a real movie screenplay and a real movie director. The plot would have been perfect for a game. You basically follow the main characters around as they go and find spirits. Once they find all these magical spirits the world will be saved. They might as well have been trying to find the pieces of the Triforce so they could save Princess Zelda.
So I would give it 2 and a half stars. The CG is just amazing (except for the lack of expression in the faces) and that's basically all we care about anyway so just go see it, because if this movie doesn't at least break even it will be the last of it's kind.
Decent CGI and action sequences are available too.

I saw this movie twice already, and I don't remember seeing anything having to do with Common Gateway Interfaces.
I loved this movie. You even get to see Mulder's ass.
