the white drew carey Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I think I'll skip this new MGS movie and stick with the original: Escape from New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 In my opinion, they already wrote a WC Movie... it was called Wing Commander III, had Mark Hamill, John Rhys-Davies, Malcolm McDowell, Jason Bernard, Tom Wilson, and Tim Curry for cryin out loud. The hollywood version had.. oh wait, yah.. no one. I think FPJ hit his peak in Scooby Doo, personally. Plus, no Thrakhath. Blair went from being a badass fighter pilot veteran to some idiot "pilgrim," who had some special "gift" so he could navigate jump holes manually.. such bs. 359854[/snapback] You sir, have excellent taste -Jeremy (who could never figure out why the "original" wing commander cast wasn't tapped for the movie... it could've rocked) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightbat Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yes, everyone listen to BSU, Mortal Kombat sucked the wad out of a dead homo's ass. 359780[/snapback] Ordinarily your movie tastes are pretty in line with my own, but this is not the case. The first MK movie was actually pretty good (especially compared to the jerk-fest it could've been). I liked the first one. The only downside was Christopher Lambert as Raiden (evidently he was hiding from other highlanders while posing as a Chineese Thunder God... no one was convinced) 359877[/snapback] I'd rather agree with A1's detailed review of MK If FF 'Spirits Within' wasn't labeled as FF and wasn't some eco-kumbaja-hippy-bastard-doomsayer's wet dream (it was like captain planet was shoved up my ***) it would have been a cool movie to watch But in defense: FF-SW didn't feature "Live" actors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Rogers Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 All this hate should be directed to Konami, who would give out the franchise's film rights to such an infamous 'filmmaker' (using the term veeeeery loosely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 If Kojima were a smart man, he'd threaten to never make another MGS game for Konami if they follow through with this idea. Small return from 99.999% Chance of Suck film by crappy director vs. Continued Revenue from Lucrative Game Franchise produced by revered legend. Make your choice, Konami.

Twoducks Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Well, I for one had a kickass weekend playing and beating MGSolid when it came out. Two days of videogaming goodness that I still remember along with my SNES days. Great gameplay and a plot very well moulded into the game (no need for hours of random battles to care for the characters here). Crappy director for videogame movie? Ok then, another movie for the "I wont even rent this crap" pile (the pile is getting dangerously high). They'll probably get the Rock to be Snake or something stupid like that.

He's having a lot of fun with Acid as far as I can tell. 359983[/snapback] You know, after reading your earlier post, I gave the matter some thought and I agree: a movie about the original Metal Gear I think would be best. There's not as much dialogue that *has* to make it into the movie (but we HAVE to get the classic "Uh oh, the truck have started to move!"). And it just lends itself well to a movie format I think, although I think most MG games do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaming Guantlet Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) Uwe Boll? I was under the impression someone else nabbed the movie rights to MGS. Can't remember who though. It must have been a rumor in itself then. I know it wasn't Paul S. Anderson. He nabbed Castlevania so I don't think we have to worry about him as far as MGS goes (although Castlevania is another matter).

Wesker99 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I've been following this for a while, and I was almost certain that it was a bogus rumor. I had also heard that the tax loophole that made Dr. Bol such a desirable director was no longer available / on it's way out. Anyway here are the facts. All of his movies are flops. The past three have made considerably less in the box office than they cost to make, and this is going to make people that count hate him too. That and I can't see Kojima giving up his baby. I don't think he could be that far out of the loop to let someone like Bol use the Metal Gear name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojima is one of those types of artists who is so obsessive about their works that I can't imagine him merely turning over his work to someone and leaving the rest to the winds. Does Kojima have any influence in how the Metal Gear franchise is handled, or is he merely an important member of its directorial staff in the video game world.

You're mistaken. Snake deals with all problems by sneaking up behind someone in a cardboard box, jumping out and strapping C4 to their back, then hiding around a corner until they get near someting flammable or a large number of friends.

CoryHolmes Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I always found the clone/genetic engineering aspects of the MG series to be its high point. The walking mecha took a leap of faith on my part. But the arm possessing a body, an Illuminati-type group that's been alive for more than 200 years...? That just ruins it all for me. MGS2 had so many plot points that turned me off that I just can't stand the series any more. Especially now that I've discovered the joy that is Splinter Cell. That blows MGS right out of the water.
