Metal Gear Solid movie confirmed.

After Silent Hill, I lack all faith in video game movies for the rest of my life.

But honestly, any given MGS game is too long to adapt into a even a long movie. That shit's going to be so heavily abbreviated it's going to suck ass.

They should turn video games into season-long live action series or something.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't think it would be a good idea to make a MGS movie, there's already 24 which is like MGS but a different Snake and Otacon...

I'm not bashing anything. I'm saying I was hyped about a movie that I thought could only turn out to be awesome and was disappointed by a film that can best be described as "okay". I pretty much feel that if Silent Hill couldn't be a awesome game to movie adaptation then no other film will be, at least for a long time.

How soon again do you think it'll be that someone like Roger Avary will be writing and someone like Christopher Gans directing a video game movie? Most likely whoever makes this Metal Gear Solid film will be far less skillful. That said, the film will likely turn out worse than even Silent Hill, aka mediocre at best.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

"Metal Gear" property.

What embodies Metal Gear besides strange bosses and quirky AI (ie cardboard box disguise being effective)? Oh right, and a giant mech (as if that's specific to Metal Gear in any way).

You strip away the intricate plot, impossibly deep villains, and philosophy and you really don't have anything but a 2-hour long generic sneaking mission.

I basically feel that it's impossible for this movie to be good in the eyes of fans random audience members or critics.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My guess is that this is what it'll end up as, but probably unintentionally.

Currently wondering if there will be any scenes involving a visible ! above Snake's head.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Steven Seagal.

edit for typo

I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I had to scroll up just to see who had posted that. Cereally, what the hell are you thinking. Keanu Reeves was made for the role of Solid Snake, not Jean Claud Van Damme.

How ya doing, buddy?
