I don't have faith.
Especially when BioWare is probably going to be very far removed from actually making the movie.
Batman's actually pretty easy. He's a very simple character with a very simple premise. Shepard? Not so.
This will fail. Horribly.

I will admit that Inevitably was a poor word choice. What I mean is that Mass Effect is so incredibly different than every other intellectual property ever adapted to a movie that it is foolish to attempt to compare it to anything that has come before. You can't really tell me that Lara Croft, Doom, or Bloodrayne has anywhere near the depth of universe that Mass Effect has. And because Mass Effect has this depth, its ability to be changed into a movie must be better. Once again, Batman or Spiderman stand as examples.
Just because ME has a detailed setting does not mean it translates into a hour and a half movie. The type of depth you're looking for would've been most appropriate for a TV sci-fi series than an hour and a half movie. Games and shows like Babylon 5 have the leisure to show you world. ME does, but not especially a movie adapation of the Shepard arc. While you see a detailed world, the general audience might not. And a setting like ME won't make it any less incapable of a sucky movie.
Edited from doesn't to does.

I hae no doubt they'll use Shepard and I have no problem with that but how are they going to tell his story in 1 1/2 - 2 hours? I just don't see how it can be done and done well.
Still, I hope I'm proved wrong.
Surprise us Bioware...... please.

Brad Pitt is a great actor. But he's got too much under his belt. We need a relatively unknown to portray him to his fullest.

"If they go with Shep the problem is are they going to just adapt ME1? Or try and shove everything Reaper related into one movie? Just not gonna work.
What makes ME awesome and unique is that takes cinematic inspiration and references from sci fi and puts it into a video game. When you regurgitate that back to cinema, you lose what made ME the uniqe experience it is and you'll end up with a movie largely derivitive of every other sci fi space marine on a quest to save the galaxy from annihilation.
Come on BioWare, lets focus on making games not trying to milk your franchise for all its worth. Thats what killed Star Wars in my eyes- once Lucas started worrying about happy meal tie ins and action figures you wind up with rubbish like Ewoks and Jar Jar Binks.":sick:
Amen, Brotha!

Not all movies based on video games are awful. Who could forget Sonic the Hedgehog?

I'm cautiously optimistic... I trust David and Greg to know what they're doing, and the movie guys ARE the same people who produced The Dark Knight and Spider-man... Still, I foresee many unhappy people regardless of the outcome.
