The only thing I don't get for the movie is they would have to really change it to use actual actors in the roles. The humans of Sera have abnormal proportions if you have ever glanced at the box, and they'd have to apply the story to Earth with regular people playing the roles, which completely destroys the badass nature of the characters themselves. Michael Clarke Duncan would be a good fit for the size of Cole, but what other guys could match up and look similar to the characters really? I don't want it to end up like Doom, but that's probably how it will be.
No matter what the backstory, there is nothing in Gears that makes me think of Marcus as anything other than an efficient killing machine. Sure he might be brilliant but if the character never once shows himself as being any smarter than anyone else (maybe slightly smarter since he hasn't yet been killed) then it's not really a character trait.Cheeze_Pavilion said:
I mean, Gordon Freeman might be a real Casanova but nothing in any of the Half-Life games give you any reason to think that.
I don't want to burst your bubble but I think video game movies ought to aspire to be as good as Doom. Doom was bad, but most of them are worse (Mario Brother's or House of the Dead anyone?)captain awesome 12 said:
I want them to aspire to be better than Doom, and try to compare with the ridiculously well-made superhero movies that have come out lately. Don't worry, my bubble is made of solid Adamantium and thus cannot be burst.Eclectic Dreck said:
Reb Brown (who played the main character in Space Mutiny [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Mutiny]) would be perfect for almost all the Grizzled Space Marines?, but his voice is too high-pitched. In any case, gorillas would be good. Maybe with Chuck Norris's voice dubbed in... it would be the highlight of Chuck's career over the last ten years, sadly.

That movie was brilliant, and i think he kinda looks like baird too... in my eyes
It is pretty easy to make the movie better than Doom, that movie somehow managed to throw out what little plot concept there was in the game as in demons attacking Mars then Earth.Codgo said:
Haven't played either game but I have read the book which actually good. It would probably make a good movie seeing as it explains what happened before Gears 1.darthzew said:
I'm all for enthusiasm, and I truly am not trying to offend: If anyone thinks the Gears of War 2 storyline is great then they *really* need to read more.
I suppose I should be grateful that there's some appreciation for a violent game that makes an effort to tell a story, but the story itself is not masterful by any stretch. It uses some very blunt techniques to evoke basic emotional responses; cheap shots, in other words.
I don't think I could get behind a Gears of War movie that took itself seriously, but I *could* get behind something like this:
*spoiler alert; you have been warned*
