gatewatcher Posted April 13, 2004 Hm, I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet... John Woo has picked up the rights to this title and is planning on actually making it. 2006 release at the earliest, and a $100 million budget. Umph. http://general.gamerfeed.com/gf/news/6047/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/2207229.stm http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/04/07/news_6093071.html http://www.planetgamecube.com/news.cfm?action=item&id=3867 http://www.gamepro.com/gamepro/domestic/games/news/34870.shtml Or just google "metroid movie news." 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted April 13, 2004 The only John Woo movie I've ever seen was the Hulk movie, and that was a horrible piece of shit. 0 Share this post Link to post

NiGHTMARE Posted April 13, 2004 John Woo had nothing to do with the Hulk; you're probably confusing him with Ang Lee. Anyway, I actually liked that movie :). Woo's Mission Impossible 2 wasn't bad either (certainly better than M:I1), and I've heard good things of both Paycheck and Windtalkers. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted April 13, 2004 This is probably a bit off topic, but another John Woo movies you might want to pick up is Hardboiled. Yes, Hardboiled is an old movie, and yes, alot of the dialouge is VERY corny, but it has alot of really good action scenes, especially the Teahouse scene. 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMBoy Posted April 13, 2004 Heh, a Metroid movie. It's about time. I was beginning to think they'd never do one. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted April 13, 2004 If John Woo's making it, then it's gotta be worth seeing... 0 Share this post Link to post

Definately not my kind of movie though. Action bores the Hell out of me. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted April 14, 2004 Scabbed Angel said:Shrek 2: Shrek's Revenge Heh, it wasn't just the bad CGI that I didn't like (though that was kinda lame), it was mostly the bad plot and acting, and also crazy stuff. Since when has the Hulk been able to LEAP THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE MOJAVE DESERT IN ONE BOUND. Oh well, maybe I just didn't read enough of the comics. Speaking of comics, that comic-panel camera work was more annoying than anything else. 0 Share this post Link to post
