Poll: Metal Gear film scrapped

[sephiroth1991]

You may or not be aware but it was in the planning to make a Metal Gear Solid film. However(by the grace of god) it has been scrapped.
What is strange it's not because the producer dropped out or a writer being thrown into prison but cos Konami dosn't want it.

What's your opinion?
Are you glad there not makin' it?

EDIT: AS requested i added a 'Meh' option

 

[zauxz]

Yeah I think we have enough bad action movies with confusing plotlnes

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

I don't care about it eitherway.

Not a big fan of MGS, so this isn't good or bad news for me.

 

[x0ny]

I like MGS but the trend is that movies based on video games don't work out too well. I think Konami didn't want their game to be blemished.

 

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

Didn't we already have MGS4?

 

[Babitz]

The movie would suck, so I'm relieved.

 

[Dapper Ninja]

I doubt a 120-160 minute movie could contain a full Metal Gear Solid story, anyway.

 

[Ocelot GT]

MGS is not really appropriate for a movie. It's better suited to a series or mini-series. And an animated or CG series at that or else they'd blow all their cash on the set design or simply blue screen it.

 

[jultub]

I loved MGS, but movies made about games aren't usually that cool

 

[Beartrucci]

While I would of liked to see an MGS movie, chances are it wouldn't of been that good. It would be too hard to compress it all into a movie that goes for 2-3 hours max.

 

[Babitz]

Seriously, would anyone want to look a movie about snake sneaking all the time and talking on codec? That basically defines the game. Well, that and cutscenes.

 

[Jaranja]

Didn't we already have MGS4?

Hah, good one.

Video Game Movies are usual crap. Also, I'm not a fan of the MGS series.

 

[MetaKnight19]

I'm not a massive MGS fan, so I'm not really down-trodden about there not being a movie. To me it seems like it would just be another action movie and as this chap said

Didn't we already have MGS4?

 

[Timotei]

"And so then, Metal Gear Solid fans around the world breathed a much needed sigh of relief. Their beloved hero. not to become a victim of Hollywood rape."

OT: I'm kind of glad it isn't going to be made. Even if it was, one would expect Hideo Kojima to be involved in everything from directing, to writing, to producing, to applying gaffers tape, just so he could make the movie as true to the game as he could.

And let's face it, it could never be as bad as the Super [This movie never happened] Brothers movie.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

129 minutes of lame dialog versus 10 minutes of action? No thanks!

 

[Bjorg3in]

Good, video games made into movies is a horrible idea.

 

[Wintermoot]

game to movie adaptations suck 80% of the time so its not that bad

How can you make a movie about game that is actually a movie...?

wait...waaa?

OT: Meh. I could go either way on this.

Guess we'll never know
