Mass effect is boring and most likely the movie will be the same, it will probaly end out the same fate as the doom movie.
What do you mean by this? All three of those movies were directed by three different people. Is he known for other roles within those movies, or what?Quote:

Though of course, it can still be bad, just not epically bad.Quote:

So, not exactly a veteran, hein?
His original script for I Am Legend ("I'm A Legend? Seriously?) can be found here. It was much better before the movie bollixed it up.

This might end up just like the halo movie though.

My thoughts exactly. Besides...not many game-to-film adaptions ever do very well anyway.Quote:

I would like to see a scenario either from the first or the second bookQuote:

I'd be willing to look forward to this one... If it was any other studio but Legendary.. I might go iffy.. but with Prince of Persia RIGHT around the corner, I think we may finally have a good "game" movie to truly bust the market and get things going the right way and build confidence in the genre. Something to consider... Prince of Persia had a solid storyline (in some ways, comparable to ME) and the previews shows a movie made in a sense of "seriousness".
I mean... Video game movies never really started out on the right foot, ya know?
