Can't say that i'd be particularly bothered about watching nameless grunts kill turians on Shanxi for 2 hours.
From my experience Shepard and friends ARE Mass Effect to me... just read the books, etc and you will know this to be true... It would be like having the rights to the original Star Wars source material and then choising to ignore it and do your own original prequel trilogy instead and we all know how that turned out.
If you can retell Mass Effect in comic book form in less than 8 minutes (Genesis) fairly well then i'm sure in the right hands you can adapt it to the big screen quite comfortably... especially with it's small cast. The main story quest only takes 4-6hrs and it's completely linear regardless of your choices anyway and renegade choices wouldn't translate at all well to film.
I can't understand why people can't just accept other people's interpretations of books, films, games, etc. as just that. I for one am interested in seeing and hearing about other people's interpretations of great works of the day and contrasting them with my own which is why I frequent boards like these in the first place.
If people who don't know any better believe the screen adaptation to be canon then that is their decision alone to make and they are entitleld to it.
