What's with the horrible caption font? Is that some derivative of comic sans? Urgh.

While it's quite impressive for a fan film I have to wonder why anyone would put the amount of time, effort and money into creating something they couldn't use in any commercial way. Neil Blomkamp's "Alive In Joburg" shorts probably had the same budgets... but they were original and he transformed them into a real film. Couldn't the creators make their own techno-thriller using the same concepts?

This makes me sad.

Philanthropy? Why is Snake collecting stamps?

This is a poor attempt at humor.

I remember seeing the trailers on youtube ages back but I didn't know they finished it. I definitely check this out once I’ve got an hour to spare.

Where does amateur movie end and indi movie begin? Where does infi movie end and studio movie begin.

Is this a good fan film or a bad studio movie? Did 1 man make this? Was a group of friends? Was is a college class project? Was is some rich dude who hired 30 people to do it?

Dig Dug was better because it was amatuerish. This Metal Gear movie is some aspiring movie maker with probably a long list of credits already, putting a lot of money into something lack luster for the scope he aspired to.

I haven't even seen it yet but Jeez- "Naysaying! Always fucking naysaying! why don't YOU create something, like inward singing!"

Slightly off-topic... I wounder if Bloodrayne would have been more appreciated if we found out some college kid was playing the game, took a bong hit and said, "Shit I can make a movie." Then went out and got a bunch of his friends together with a digicam, and made the movie?

"You're so cool! With your dark attitude, your beard and bandana. You'd make a great video game caharacter or something!"

I thought this fan-made flick was done pretty good. I had no problems with it. Was it spot on? No. But neither is Hollywood. There was a little cheeseball acting, but for the most part, I thought for not being done by a professional studio like Fox or Paramount, it was a great effort. Probably better than what would have come oout of Hollywood.

One hour? Shit, there's MGS *cutscenes* longer than that. :)

I liked it, only made it through about half because I had to get back to work, but pretty cool.

Too bad its only the first part of an undisclosed amount of parts. I'm very interested to see how the rest of it plays out.

I am a huge Metal Gear fan and that rocked. Sure some of the acting was crappy, but at least it is something. God only knows if Hollywood gets their hands on the Metal Gear franchise that it would probably be given to Michael Bay because things blow up and that is all he can do is make stuff explode.

I thought it was very well put together. I enjoyed that the guy who played Solid Snake did the voice spot on. I didn't understand vampire chick lady thing with the eyes and stuff. I mean I guess they had to throw something in of supernatural abilities, but other than her not looking very hot at all, I thought it was a good flick. I'll def watch the others when they release them

AMAZING.

Spot on.

EVERYBODY GO HOME

Ah, I thought the voices didn't quite match up (if you watch it to the credits, it'll list the voice over actors.)

I gotta say that was impressive. I almost felt like I was really gonna play a new MGS game. The stilted writing, the overplayed movements, everything about it just felt like the games. Which is pretty cool actually, I'd much rather it felt like the games than some Hollywood flick that would ferret out little quirks like that and rob the story of its identity as a Metal Gear project.

I hope they make another chapter. I'm convinced Frenchie is gonna die at some point lamenting how he never liked all the violence anyway.

And to the first seven or so people in this thread: can't you just enjoy something without being a dick?

I agree with with Shadowtag: It wasn't perfect, but then again, what is these days?

I gotta say though, if I had the money, resoucres and everything else these guys and girls had, I still wouldn't come close to this for a fan-film. Brava, Hive, Brava.

If Hollywhack did steal MG and shcill it out, it wouldn't be any better than this.

Oh and Shadowtag: I think they do have other chapters done, just not in avi format.

Haven't finished it yet, but from what I've seen, I can safely say that I'll buy any DVDs they might put out once the series is done. It's cheesy and some acting's a little hammy, but that's exactly how MGS is. I can honestly see a bigger studio doing a lot worse than this, great stuff.

The best is the Secret Cut of the movie after the actual one is finished.

"This...is porn..."

Thank you Anonymous and manobon...

One because, yes the secret cut made the whole thing perfect.. they obviously were laughing at themselves at the end and during the making, awesome!

...and yeah?!?! whats with the Naysaying? I mean really?

How did no one mention the ape escape monkey in the peddled wares at 13:35? I'm easily amused with the little things, i suppose
