Not sure your stance on it, but I'll go watch it.

It's kind of exciting to see them taking such a great game and adapting it, but it's also worrisome, because it's such a beautiful game with almost no dialogue or, frankly, heavy plot -- that's what makes it great. I like that they never say why Wander wants to resurrect Mono, or why she's dead in the first place, or what exactly Dormin is. I don't want them to turn it into an action movie. The writer has already said that with such a basic framework, it's easy to add stuff in and turn the story into something movie-worthy. It would cheapen the story and turn it into another cliche.

The guy who's writing it also wrote Street Fighter - Legend of Chun Li. That's not a very promising thing, either.

It'll probably suck, like the ass-tastic Dragonball Evolution. So be it, I'll still probably go see it. Just the sheer SCALE of everything.
