Not doing the game plot I don't care about and can almost look forward to, we always knew it would be Male Shepard, so no sweat there, but why in the name of God wouldn't you get Seth Green to play Joker? Give him a few days of growth and he looks fine! It's not like Joker is some physically demanding role, he sits in a chair the whole time.

Beyond that, we don't have any info to go on. To answer Bioware's question from the front page about who I'd want to play Commander Shepard...I dunno. I'll have to think about it some more.

I thought you said good writers and director, not three of the biggest hacks and examples of what's wrong with modern Hollywood. <_<

Here I can't help but agree with Terror K. I like my movies to follow several laws of physics, the women to be real and the ham being finely cut and not slabs.

My concern with the ME movie is that its going to Shepard.... AGAIN. Do we really need a  blow by blow re-telling of the game- those tend not to work because  game plot =/= movie plot.  If they are going to  Shepard again I would prefer if they did a  that  follows the sources and themes but has its own plot to it.

This.. Point to that.

The history told us walking the
line of a movie/game adaptation, means failure..


ME Movie: Starships, explosions, ******, nonsense dialog, plot holes, big guns, sex... did I forget to mention plot holes????

 

More plotholes than "The Last Airbender"? God!!!... I'm thankful that I watched the series before the movie.

Fire Nation = indian ...
Water Tribe = caucasian ...

Acting...
Fights... (considering that earthbending was like 30 min of movement, only to throw a rock of the size of a thumb) Oh I nearly forgot firebending, they were supposed to create the fire, not guide it.

Its extremely relevant. As it is now, your Shepard is THE Shepard. My Shepard is The Shepard. Shepard is who we want them to be. That's the beauty of the character. This movie will destroy that. From then on, your Shepard will just be an "Alternate" Shepard.

I don't want that.

For the love of GOD, get of your possesive high horse! A move Sheppard doesn't change your Sheppard at all.

What is stupidity is making a ME movie, and then not having anything to do with the damn game. If it's a ME move, then it SHOULD have Sheppard, it SHOULD have Saren, it SHOULD have Joker.
Make spin-offs and side stories with different characters later.

Great, so they have the whole ME universe to work with, the entire galaxy, multiple timelines and different races and stories to use, and they just have to make it about Shepard. It would have been refreshing to see something else in the ME universe, and to explore different stories, instead its more of the same characters, not to mention they just give the finger to every player whos Shep isnt like the one they will canonize for the film.

They're not giving a finger to anyone whiny boy.

And the ME movie should be the first of meny, thus it should bring the best ME universe has to offer and the most recognizable - hence the ME1 story. Even moreso because its' nto aimed only at you.

Besides agreeing with Lotion Soronnar entirely, I think the movie is good way to reach a wider audience... if done correctly, of course.

I would like J.J. Abrams to direct and Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman on the writing team too, nitefyre410. The other team I'd like to see is Chris Nolan directing and Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer on the writing team. Legendary Pictures has backed Nolan on most of his movies, and it wouldn't surprise if they try to bring him on board for the ME movie. I think it would give me more hope of it being an amazing movie.

[Furball34]

Many different opinions here from end users.
Would have been nice to know Bioware's thoughts on this, other than press releases.

[Raganheart]

I thought Matthew Fox from Lost was rumored to play Shepard.

You seem to have the missed the point with Watchmen. It remained faithful to the message of the graphic novel, which was something incredible in itself. They could have easily ****ed up turning it into mindless drivel but they didn't.
300 was not Ben Hur but was a well executed movie that also remained faithful to the origin material, which was a graphic novel.
These two examples are of movies that remained faithful to the origin material in spirit and in style, with all the pros and cons that brings.

Thor was not a horrible movie but simply an ok movie. Nothing special but considering the source material I was pleasantly suprised. The script was decent and gave Kenneth Branagh room to make a stereotypical "ALWAYS ANGRY" character into somebody I could slightly empathasise with.

The original version of I am Legend, before the exec meddling was far closer to the spirit of the book than the cut paste ending of the theatrical version. Find someone with the dvd and watch the original ending. Much better.

EDIT: You forgot to mention faults with the Batman movies and Inception. Continue the knee jerk reactions to something you have near to no info about. At least wait till you hear about the actors before claiming that THEY CHANGED IT! NOW IT SUCKS!!!

http://tvtropes.org/...gedItNowItSucks

I didn't say anything about Batman and Inception because I know most people enjoyed those movies. Saying something bad about them, I'll have an angry mob drawing their pitchforks and torches to lynch me. Also, if I could get into details about why they aren't so great...well, there's not much to say anyway.
It's not that I'm butt hurt over what they're doing with Mass Effect, I wasn't even expecting it to be something "awesome" , for me it's just another movie I'll eat popcorn to and an excuse to go to a theater.
And please, 300? Too much grease and cheese and six packs. Things going on and stuff like that for the sake of making a movie.
I can appreciate a good movie when I see one. But what we get now are just some movies to waste our time.
As a costume and stage designer, I base my designs on the plot and characters. I don't dress them for the sake of dressing them and not catching a cold. That's why most movies are blank from my point of view. It's not hard for me designing what I'm asked, but if I don't find something interesting then it's the same thing as going to the toilet, finish my business and flush it.

that rumor was out there before the movie was confirmed....

as to the folks discussing joker....joker's involvment hasn't been confirmed....the same transcript said it wasn't based on either game....maybe it's shep's actions leading up to ME1 or what not....also...this early in the game, it doesn't mean that green wouldn't be playing joker.....just that he isn't at moment, it's an honest answer at moment just doesn't mean it can't change....also....ever think that seth green can't or won't? just sayin

I understand completely with you but you see there are two kinds of summer movies. There is Transformers 2 and then there is X-Men: First class. Orci and Kurtzman were responsible for Transformers 2 and Cowboys and Aliens, JJ Abrams for the physics defying Super 8 and the nausea inducing Cloverfield, although his work with Star Trek was pretty good. If Mass Effect ends up like Transformers 2 my rage will consume the world in nuclear fire.

Oh God you are theater person! It is ingrained in your soul to dislike the drivel that is the moving pictures.
I see where you are coming from now and I understand. The problem is that theater is not like the movies. Successful theatrical productions are 80% actors and 20% Everything Else, while movies these days tend to be 50/50 between actors and post production. I know how you feel but I have steeled my mind for the inferior soul acting of cinema with the exception of feeling ready to puke while watching Transformers 3.

EDIT: Shia Le Barf wouldn't last a minute on a theatrical stage!!!

I clarified that the original, pre-meddling ending was far closer to the spirit of the book than the horrific theatrical ending. The original ending is on youtube and as you can see it is far better.  Protosevich had created a good ending before the big wigs worried that an ending where the creatures were intelligent would confuse the viewers. Here throw the blame on the focus group than Protosevich.

EDIT: Here is the wiki link of the movie. Read what it says about the alternate ending:
http://en.wikipedia....Am_Legend_(film)

Ah, fair point. However, it still wories me about executive meddling. What if the pre-screening audience decide they don'tl ike the nitty gritty universe that is ME, where civilians die and hard choices have to be made; in favour of the standard hollywood alien invasion cliches (reapers die of a virus, reapers have a singular hive mind to destroy, reapers have a mothership controlling them all, reapers suffer from a kryptonite style weakness, reapers melt in water - etc)

[SandTrout]

Just because a movie is shallow and overtly stylized doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad movie. I enjoyed 300 because it was over-the-top and stylized. It was an exercise in gratuitous badassery, and I acknowledge and enjoy it as such. Same goes for 'The Expendables'. Yes, it was ridiculously cheesy, but that was part of the fun.

The ME movie could be just a fun, shallow movie to watch, but that is wasting the potential of the IP, and the path that Legendary is apparently taking with it smells of something that is neither fun nor awesome.

[DoNotIngest]

A succesful ME movie would require the right people designing it, funding, and time. It has none of those. It's gonna suck.

Honestly, after Spider-Man 3, the reboot was welcome. Besides, reboots aren't always a bad thing, even ones that come out soon after the original. The Incredible Hulk is MUCH better than the first Hulk movie.

Considering that a lot of great films have come from Hollywood, you must not have great taste in movies.....

Is it any small wonder many of those "great" films tend to be from decades ago?

[Ramus Quaritch]

I really think that they should do the First Contact War for the ME movie. I don't think Shepard should be in the movie because it would clash with the fans' visions and interpretation of Shepard. I guarantee you ME players will see Shepard in the movie and say, "That's not my Shepard." Having new characters would free the movie of that potential conflict and rejection. The First Contact War is an interesting and virtually unexplored area in the ME universe. I'd really like to see that on film.

[Heather Cline]

Not a fan that they are going with male shep and stuff. i'd rather see femshep. so won't be watching this movie.

There were crap movies decades ago, there are crap movies today; there were classics back then, there are classics today. For every Godfather, there's a Manos: Hand of Fate. Hell, MST3K went on for several seasons with nothing but crappy old movies.

Yes, some of the movies Hollywood makes today are complete trash. But this is not a new trend. Acting like things were SO much better decades ago is just flat out wrong.

[Ramus Quaritch]

Now this would be much riskier and harder to explain to new viewers, but what would be absolutely amazing for the ME movie would be to have the movie take place on Earth during the Reaper invasion in ME3. While ME3 takes the point of view of Shepard trying to rally the civilizations of the galaxy, the movie could focus on the humans stuck on Earth fighting for survival against the overwhelming Reaper invasion. THAT would be epic.

[mulder1199]

legendary has demonstrated that if there's strong writing and directing they can produce good stuff....at least when the nolan's are involved....

Good thing I never did that then. Allow me to direct your attention here, in case you were laboring under the pretense that I can't distinguish between perspective and nostalgia.
