Sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a look. Hopefully, it won't turn out to be a waste of my time... (crosses fingers).

If this was done by Pixar I'd be sleeping soundly, but Disney can be a bit hit & miss. But we'll find out this autumn.
Yep. That's rather sad to me. Zangief isn't a villain now and never really was a villain.
From what I've heard, the games are actually one of the few places where he ISN'T a villain of some kind.
The only place where Zangief has even been a villain is in the terrible live action Street Fighter movie that starred Van Damme. He appeared in the Street Fighter animated movie as well for a quick fight with Blanka but was just in the role of a rather random combatant fighting for money at a party hosted by Balrog/Boxer. In the games he's always been a neutral character who fights for the glory of his country and his no villainous intention what so ever. So, pretty much not a villain. Unless, of course, the simple fact that he fights for Russia makes him a villain.
What if he's the good guy counselor running the thing.

Ummm.. he starts his speech by introducing himself and saying he's a bad guy. I kinda of doubt that's likely.

This is relevant to my interests.

but damn, Disney must have paid a fortune to use all those copyright charecters. I see Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, and Namco at least. And Mario must be the most busy guy ever in that world, as he is in like what 50 games. Unless each new game gets it's own mario.

It's Disney, I think they can swing it

So this is like this generation of "Who Frame Roger Rabbit" well cameo wise?

Sure the cameo alone will not make it an instant hit (maybe box office wise) but none the less that alone compel me to give it a watch at the cinema.

Does this mean Zangief will be in Kingdom Hearts 3? :p

I really hope this will be good, it could either be "LOL REFERENCES AREN'T WE HIP?" or an actual deep film like Toy Story.

House of the Dead 2? I wasn't sure to start with, then remembered the dual axes and it made me happy.

Hmmm, well Zangief hasn't been a "bad guy" for a long time. Maybe in the early days of SF II that could be argued when his ending had him dancing with Gorby, but since then he's been defined as an Ambassador, and in Street Fighter IV a straight forward good guy, who to some extent seemed to be lampooning vintage GI Joe... his big motivation being to make a come back of sorts for his fans.

That said, it does look amusing. :)

It also occurs to me that in quarter chomping 8 bit cabinet games, the bad guy almost invariably wins in the end. Heck, it might even be guaranteed if the game has no set ending or finite number of stages. The most you could in theory hope for would be hitting some kind of kill screen and scoring a stalemate.

But there's the niggling details that they wrong. If they are going to have actual characters that we recognize, then they ought to nail the characterizations. Otherwise things don't click right. Zangief was never a villain. They need some kind of videogame plot consultant, or at least a random sampling of their target audience.
Consider, on the other hand, the details that they've put into some of the characters. Such as the way that Clyde floats back, forth, up, and down in a style that matches up with the way he does in the games. Or how they included the text as part of Q*Berts' language. And then you've got Bison who looks like he's got his arms crossed whenever he's not using them for something. Zangief as a bad guy strikes me as a deliberate choice for some reason rather than just ignorance.
I very much hope you're right.

I have to wonder who paied who to get all these cameos into the game. If the game companies paied to get the characters in as sort of advertizement, or Disney to borrow the rights to each character.

Also, this is a movie about video games, made by Disney. if a SINGlE reference to Kingdom Hearts isn't made I'm going to demand my money back.
It would be pretty awesome to see a Kingdom Hearts reference.
I would like to see a heartless, even if this just in the background. Also could Disney use a wreck-it ralph world in a kingdom hearts game and what possibilities could that lead to (zerg heartless? bowser heartless?).

OT: I don't care if the movie is bad I want to see it just to see the end product.

I was hoping it was from Plants VS Zombies but it isn't cartoonish enough, ironically. Besides the PvZ zombies have no hair and no weapons.

After watching it again, does anyone else think Zangiefs body movements are like the heavy in the meet the heavy video. Besides the obvious comparisons of both being big Russian guys.

In regards to the multiple comments lamenting Zangief's position... I was unaware that people actually cared about the canon of a fighting game that has, multiple times, crossed over with the universes of other fighting games.

Anyway. I'm not really a fan of John C. Reilly, but when I first saw the teaser for this a few months ago it looked like it would be pretty amusing, looking even better now that they've got a trailer that shows actual other video-game characters.

Found a place where you can play the game. It's a neat if obvious promotional tie in.

I think I may have to renounce my atheism, cause clearly some sort of high power exists and has delivered this unto us.

Definitely going to see this, then. I really hope some of the Rampage guys show up, and tell him they know how he feels.

I have no clue what the purple woman, the devil guy, and the robot are from though. Might be generic stand-ins.
I see Ryu Hyubasa, a couple of generic BDU-wearing soldiers, and what could possibly be the Tin Man, from the wizard of oz, but I'm not sure what he's doing there.
