This movie is fan service, pure and simple. The point is to put all (yes all) of your favorite characters back in familiar settings doing familiar things and let things rip for an hour and forty minutes. Plot and character development were totally outside considerations. You're supposed to know the characters and not care much more than to see them tear it up.
That being said, if you didn't like how the fight scenes looked, I can certainly understand hating this movie. I thought the fight scenes looked pretty awesome and had a blast watching it and can't wait to find a copy of FFVII so I can replay it. This movie's all about the nostalgia and the visuals, and those both clicked perfectly for me.
