Well, those who say there is no canon in ME will certainly be butthurt by a movie. I wasn't planning on it anyways.

Id rather have Krogan **** smeared on my face.

I'll wait till it gets to the bargain DVD bin.

REAL ENDING WILL BE IN THE MOVIE

Despite what I want to say. Yes I probably will.

Someone said this is suppose to be a prequel. I hate prequels.

Hahahaha!

Oh, your serious? Let me laugh harder!

HAHAHAHAHA!

This is an odd one.  On the one hand they keep saying it's going to be an entirely new story. On the other hand they also keep telling us it will be based on the first game. In actuality it's probably going to be heavily based on the story of the first game, but altered in various ways to make everything better fit a smaller timescale, the production budget and the planned story arc for any potential sequals.

I've got a lot of love for this series - how ME3 ended, while important at the moment, is about as significant as William Shatner is to the recent Star Trek movies. A movie is essentially more of the universe, based in a parallel reality where there are Elcor, Volus, Salarians, Turians, Hanar... but this one's more than likely got a happier destiny.

The Mass Effect story isn't really all that complicated really - it's just the intricate dialogue and codex entries that make things as complex and fleshed out as they appeared. In fact, Bioware did a great job at condensing the entire plot of Mass Effect 1 into a motion comic for PS3 players - the story could still be told within a 120 minute timeslot.

Whether it's good or not depends on who's going to be starring in it, who gets to write the screenplay, and who the directors and producers are. There's no reason this can't be absolutely fantastic

If it had a FemShep, I would.

It's a video game movie. Who wants to bet all of it will suck?

No way. Especially not if it's about Commander Shepard.

[KelaSaar]

No way. I don't have a lot of faith in Bioware right now.

I'm of the opposite opinion - I can't see how you could have a Mass Effect movie at this point in time (when everyone 'knows' Mass Effect as Shepard's series right now) without Shepard. In truth they're likely to go with as close as possible best approximation of Mark Vanderloo Shepard, since that's the one everyone recognises even if folks normally choose to play as FemShep or a custom character.

But more importantly, Seth Green as Joker is an absolute must

Totally, just too see how much of the rest of the story they'll screw up.

I better keep a vomit bag ready, though.

I didn't care in the first place given the track record of all VG movies. But now?

What's the point?

The problem I always saw the movie is that it messes with the players' canon. No movie could ever incorporate everyone's view of Shepard, and thus anyone who plays Shep differently than they're portrayed in the film will come out thinking "that wasn't MY Shepard" and will either resent the film because of it, or feel that their Shep canon is meaningless.

For me, I know, I have two Sheps, and I'd personally like to see both portrayed in a film. Wouldn't feel right seeing poster-boy Shep in the lead role. And if they did get one of my Sheps spot on, I'd feel annoyed that the other wasn't portrayed.

It's just what happens when you RP a character. You don't want someone else telling you what that character's like. That's what you're supposed to decide and come up with yourself.

I was thinking the exact same thing.  If anyone can butcher a movie...

I can't really see what point you're trying to make here, since you've already established two concurrent parallel Shepards that are different from each other. If you can do that, then a third 'movie' Shepard should be quite easy to accept as well.

To put things into perspective, I'm a lifelong Doctor Who fan, and I also love the Peter Cushing movies. Yes, this is not the same 'reality' that the television series portrays, but the important elements are all present and correct. And they're both a whole lot of fun to watch. I could theoretically get hung up on details such as Cushing not actually being a Time Lord - but I don't because it's not the exact same 'universe'.

The same thing is true with a Mass Effect movie situation. It could be it's own thing and do really well (obviously you'd need some key things like the Citadel and Shepard otherwise people would say it was just any old space movie with the name tacked on), or it could try to be far closer to the game than it really needs to be - resulting in a jumbled mess that is basically a tribute at best and a confusing mess at worst for non-fans.

The thing is, movies are a whole lot lighter form of entertainment than games. They keep you happy for the 2 hours or so you're sitting watching them. That's all they're intended to do. Theoretically, there's no real reason why a movie can't be at least as good and accepted by the fanbase as the novels - especially if Drew Karpyshyn is chosen to write the screenplay.

[Tamuril24]

Whats the point? they will be no femshep and it will be total bull because we already know the galaxy is screwed.

[Dougremer]

Haha, this is the first time I actually think it will suck. Just because of the endning. I know for sure how it will end. Just wondering which color they will choose though.

[crimzontearz]

not if these are the real endings
