Movie is going to fail

Only thing that made sense in this thread.

Probably, but you can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs first...let's just hope that this turns out to be the omelet and not another cracked egg in a LONG list of cracked eggs, most recently being Prince of Persia.

I'd rather them try and fail than not try; if it sucks, I'll just pretend it doesn't exist like I do with the second two Matrix films.

Yeah I agree.  Maybe this will be the movie adaption of a game that won't suck *Smirks*...  Its like renting every comic book movie based game thinking "oh this one will be good I'm sure."

I love when people go "They made The Dark Knight!" as opposed to, say, "They made Superman Returns / Lady In The Water / 10,000 BC / Jonah Hex!"

Not every movie can end up profitable/crticially accliamed, but that doesn't mean that's not their goal from the outset.

10,000 BC actually netted them a $100+ million dollar profit based on worldwide sales. I would think most movie studios would take that any day.

It wouldn't take away from my experience. This is Legendary's/Avi Arad's/director's playthrough in a nutshell.

And I'm willing to wager that a good 80-90% of the people who will end up seeing this movie will have no idea what the ME universe is about aside from the information they can glean off a quick Google search.

This production became less about us the second BioWare partnered with a major movie studio.

Well gee, thanks for that.

And which is just my opinion, man?

I'm pretty sure it's not the last part because I would think they have every intention of trying to turn this in to a profitiable movie franchise. Unless I have the whole notion of captialism wrong.

Felt the need to post this from the IMDB boards, written by SupR G over there:

"First, EA/Bioware is not making this movie. They never were, and never will. They are a video game production company, not a film studio. LEGENDARY PICTURES has the movie rights to Mass Effect. They are the same company that produced The Dark Knight, Inception, 300, and many more. Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuck and Casey Hudson of EA/Bioware are credited as 'executive' producers, and will have a say in some pre-production aspects (story, script), but ultimately it falls on Legendary and their chosen Director. So enough whining and crying about "Bioware needs to do this, and that" because you are barking up the wrong tree.

Second, they are not making this movie just for you die-hard fans. Get over it, and get over yourselves. Many of you feel that as fans of the game, you are entitled to something and that all your wants and needs must be answered. A true fan knows that this is a great action-adventure story, rivaling that of Star Wars, and should be shared with the rest of the world. You might think that you are their primary market, and you would be wrong. The actual gamers probably make up less then 10% of the potential film goers. Hell, DOOM had a bigger market, and look how that film turned out. "

I think that sums things up nicely, thanks SupR G

bro, from the very beginning i stated i was going to see this movie, im just sayin it might not be the best to have it about shepards story in me1because for some people not everyone(littlezack) it will take away from the experience

This wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, else I would have quoted an ongoing discussion within this thread.

And don't call be bro, guy.

It's not about you guys, it's about the hundreds of millions of people havent played ME series

Well if they see it and like it, why would they buy the game if they already know what happens?

Why whould they buy the game if they don't see a ME movie if they haven't by now?  I don't know about you, but if I saw a kickass movie and learned there was a game for it that let you make choices based in that universe, I would be pretty down for it.

Plus, what about people who don't play video games like Mass Effect? (i.e. the vast majority of the people in the world)

Yeah the majority doesn't get to go see a kick ass movie every weekend.  There are hardly ever enough action movies these days.  So lets take our beloved Mass Effect and hollywoodize it.  I heard Micheal Bay is free.  Anyone interested in Shia Labouf playing shepard?  YEA you might be excited for this but the very concept is a slap in the face to everyone who plays the game whether you realize it or not.

Because Hollywood doesn't make anything good, right? Only Michael Bay and Shia Lebouf are in movies.

 I'm having a hard time thanking anyone for the fact that the movie is being made at all.
Oh boy its ME1 where it will be played by some action start that wont resemble any of my shepards.....  Only way I would've watched this is if they stayed away from the games but I guess that was too much to ask for to.

Im actually glad it's about the trilogy and not about the First Contact War. Im very curious to see what form it will take. I don't care if the characters don't look alike or that the narrative is off. It's ME people, forget about the damn canon and just be happy with it.

Some "fans" are so irritating.

Well, maybe so, but I certainly don't think it's an irrational one.

If they used one of your playthroughs for the movie, I would think exactly the same thing.

Well in Superman's defense, it's had soem retrospective critical acclaim. I still don't like it. That one about the lady I can't mention as it brings me out in a rash. Yes I will readily admit that Legendary has made some stinkers but let's not dismiss a movie before seeing it, I'll just wait and see on this project.

My only issue that the movie will only improve the story visually. Every other department will be lacking, especially since they can't fit everything plot wise in ME1 into a movie. 

That's what I think too.

Well, that and I'm going to have a sour taste in my mouth when they inevitably get my favorite characters wrong. Shepard is hard to mess up because Shepard can be so many different things. I don't really care what they do with Shepard. It's the characters and relationships apart from Shepard that are going to bug me endlessly. I just don't have faith in Hollywood to not try and make things fit their mold.

I'm talking about quality, not profitability. Basically I'm saying that bringing up TDK is not reassuring that the movie won't be terrible. A movie needs more than a good production company behind it to be good.

You didn't have a point.

[Massadonious1]

That's because some people in Hollywood think Uwe Boll is a great director.

And besides, this is Avi Arad, the same guy who is a part of all the Marvel comic book adaptations nowadays.

There have been a few stinkers, but for the most part, those have done really well, crtically and comercially.

Avi Arad is the one who shoe-horned Venom into the third Spider-Man movie and then kept trying to get him a spin-off franchise where he'd be a hero, right? Gah.

The only 2 video game movies I thought were good to watch was Hitman and Max Payne.

Neither followed the video games to the letter. Hitman was more action-ey than the games were and Max Payne barely followed the plot of the original game, but when viewed from the outside both stood on their own merits.

Yeah Hitman was awesome how it opened up with that stolen footage of Dark Angel and.......... a bunch of shooting and 47 falling love....  Yeah they could've named that anything and stayed away from Hitman and I wouldn't be half as bitter as I am about it.

From what I remember, putting Venom in was executive meddling. Could be wrong, though.

It didn't. On a $105 million budget and $270 million gross, it made them perhaps about $50-$70 million. You forget that theatres take about 50% of the ticket price. With international gross, the studio's share is even smaller due to distributors' share. 10,000 BC didn't flop and the studio didn't lose money, but it wasn't a stellar success.

No, you just didn't have one. Michael Bay doesn't even make videogame adaptions, and most videogame adaptions aren't anything like his movies (most movies in general are like Bay's movies, really. Say what you will, but the man stands out )

[gamer_girl]

I don't understand why people are so opposed to a Shepard movie. I mean I get it won't be your Shepard but that's really the only defense you have. And it's a very selfish defense at that.
