Megaman

When I saw this, I remembered thinking "Hmmm, I don't remember a Mega Man movie being released in 2010". And it became obvious pretty quickly why I hadn't heard of this. From the cinematography (calling it that is an insult to cinematographers everywhere) to the "Acting" to the vapid script and the very unspecial effects, this thing is a fiasco from the get go. There are two redeeming things about this movie: 1) it's free to view from the website (although I did have to pay for bandwidth. I want my 50 cents back) and 2) you'll never be hearing from any of these people ever again. Sometimes a movie is so bad that it's funny, but this is just so bad that it's BAD. I realize it's a low budget indie film, but so was Clerks. And where Clerks exhibited the unrefined talent of Kevin Smith, this mostly exhibits that some people shouldn't be allowed to buy video equipment. Maybe in time someone with make a Mega Man movie and when they do, it will qualify as the first one, because this thing hardly qualifies as a movie.

This obviously wasn't gonna be perfect in every way, but this is an actually good megaman adaptation. Blue Core studios actually did GREAT with the acting, GREAT with the story, they summed up everything the original game had in it. The CGI was as good as it was gonna get for 2010. All in all, this movie was part of my childhood. 9/10 for the high effort put into this low budget movie.

As a fan of the Mega Man game series I was intrigued by the fact that a fan movie was going to be made. The film creators based the movie off the very first NES game. The enemies are Elec Man, Guts Man, Bomb Man, Ice Man, Fire Man, Cut Man, and of course Dr. Wiley. They also kept the fact that once defeated, Mega Man could use the powers of the defeated robot to help him fight the other remaining robots. The Mega Man and Proto Man costume was actually quite good for a low budget film. I personally liked how they integrated his Mega Blaster Arm Cannon into the costume. The casting was especially good for Roll (Mega Man's sister) Her transition from Video Game to movie was outstanding. She is exactly how I would picture her in real life.

Sadly, when it was all said and done, the movie was just not that good. Let me start by saying the acting is horrible. I've seen some pretty bad acting in my time, but this has to be one of the worst I've encountered. The fight scenes were fast and pretty much one sided. It seemed like that spent too much time on story telling and less on the actual action. The thing with fan made movies is their target audience is going to be the fans, and not the casual everyday person. As fans of the game we all know the story of Mega Man. So it confuses me as to why they would spend 1/2 the movie telling the story when we all know it? If you're a fan of the the Mega Man franchise or have played the game it is worth a watch. If you know nothing about it I recommend skipping this and watching something else.

I really dislike these reviews where they bash a well-known LOW budget movie with "too little action" or "sooooo bad acting"... get real.

Don't discourage these movie attempts made from fans, without these we wouldn't have ANYTHING because no big movie company will ever do a Megaman movie for real.

Yes the movie sucks if you compare it to movies like Inception, Terminator or Transformers etc.

However, comparing it to something like a school movie project or just a fan-based movie with no real budget. Then it's a pretty fun movie to watch. If I would have personally made this movie I think I would have taken six actors to act all the robots, instead of actually going in and CGI three of the robots 100 %. With a low-budget those computer generated images show up too clearly.

I liked most the Elecman, cool hairstyle and a mean actor, the lightning effects were also done pretty nicely. Also Wily, seems he was the only one to take his role seriously, he was NOT a bad actor. For being in a movie like this his small acting shines.

Another thing I liked was that they used Wily Stage 1 song from Megaman 2 at the ending, that part made me smile. Too bad they didn't use any other 'megaman' songs as all of those old midi songs rock.

Also to answer one of the Reviews "why did they add 1/2 for story telling", and the easy answer would be the budget cuts; Having a bearded man laugh hysterically and threaten everyone in-front of the camera for 30min probably cost them 10 bucks to make. Instead of making CGI explosions for 30 minutes which they didn't have cash for.

Also without the story telling and only the five min action scenes, this would have only been just a "short" and not a full length movie. Also explains why all fighting scenes are only ten seconds or something.

Conclusion: If you want to see some block buster movie then don't waste your time. If you go in and expect a low-budget bad movie then watch it by all means.

It was fun seeing the very first Megaman 1 to be made into a movie as it seems to have a story anyhow, unlike all the millions of sequels.

I hate to give this a bad grade, but I have to be realistic. In the realm of fan made films, this is a glorious addition to the world. They pretty much take all the best elements of Megaman 1 and try to put it a real world setting. For the most part, it works.

The best part is the fact they are appreciative of the series lore and canon. From the feud between Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, Proto Man, Roll and even Megaman's clone. I wish they had put some more thought into the fact Dr. Light was terrible with robot ethics, but hey we can't have everything. Some day we might get a proper Megaman adaptation, for it will ultimately give us the chance to look back at these low budget attempts to make this series come to fruition.

If something like Sonic can get a series, why can't this one? Megaman has some pretty amazing lore, and would make a fine film universe. Hopefully someday Capcom can accrue enough capital to make a proper series. It would be amazing. Trust me. Look into the series lore and you will be amazed.
