I just got finished watching it and my inital feeling about it can be summed up with this.... =\

While I give the guy who made it (Eddie Lebron) big props for putting forth the effort in making this non-profit fan made film,it is not very good....at all.It reminds me of one of those crappy,horribly acted action films that you'd see on TNT at two in the morning.

One thing (maybe the only thing) I did like about it was the actor who was cast as Dr.Wily.(Dave Maulbeck) I believe he did a pretty damn good job in his role.All the other acting was either subpar or just flat terrible.(Mega Man unfortunately being the worst IMO.)

Anyway,see for yourself....or not.
It's a little over 93 minutes,so be sure you have some time to kill if you decide to give it a try.

Okay yeah, Wily is pretty awesome. So far everyone else is lackluster at best. Light really needs more of a beard. More like Richard Attenborough in Miracle on 34th Street or something.
 
Woof. I was 20 minutes into the movie and still hadn't seen shit. If my computer would have had the ability to fast forward the movie, I would have tried to see some more of it.

Acting was so bad, it was hard to watch. Wily was humorous though.

First 20 minutes into a "Mega Man" movie and not a single special effect? Bullshit. He could have atleast put in a CG futuristic city shot intertwined with the NY city shot to make it look slightly further in the future.

I do have to give props to a fan for trying to make something like this. But if you're trying to make a futuristic/ sci-fi movie like this with zero budget your setting yourself up for a fall.
 
Yeah,there's not any real action until about 45 minutes into it.Btw,anyone else catch the misspelled words at 14:28. "Artical Intelligence"? Must be a new special kind of AI.The word above it was also misspelled,although I forgot what it was.
 
I started watching it, but shut it off after a few... Maybe I'll try again when I'm less tired.

Kind of makes you wonder... most video game moveis suck, and a lot of people say "I could do better"... I wonder if that's what they were thinking when they made this... fail
 
I wonder why most video game movies aren't CG.I know that doesn't guarantee it will be a good movie(Final Fantasy),but it seems like it allows more creativity.

Wow, I just watched it. Not bad considering it's fan made. Never notices that Dr. Light named them 'Rock and Roll'.

Well, I liked the music and the general idea of the movie, but it wasn't enjoyable. I liked the end how it left him on top of a building just like he was in the begging of megaman 2 though.

In the end, all games made into a movie are guaranteed to be bad. They were originally made to be played, not watched. Some stories are suited better for movies and others for games.

Games can have from 5-50 hours of game play (including cut-scenes) and movies are usually about 1-2 hours long. It's just impossible to take something that was meant to be a video game and turn it into a (good) movie. You can even see in this movie how the fight scenes are 'rushed' and it takes him only a few minutes to kill everyone.

Anyways, it was interesting to watch and a cool idea, but it just wasn't any good. It was still pretty awesome of the fan to go and make a megaman movie just out of appreciation for it.
 
Overall, I didn't think it was that bad, especially when you consider it's fan made and how long it is. I mean, most fan made movies are like 5 minutes or maybe 15 if you're "lucky."

Roll was annoying as shit, but that's just like the character so major win there ;) The rest of the casting needed work, though. Again, Wily was the best part and is about the only thing that kept me watching.

Never notices that Dr. Light named them 'Rock and Roll'.
Heh, yeah. Rock, Roll, Blues, and Bass. I think there's even a bird of Wily's named Reggae. The amusing part is how the some of the musical names come from the Japanese games, while some come from the American games. Whatever :p
 
You definitely have to give them credit for making this. I'm not gonna bash, even though it's got some serious WTF in it, it because it's just too big of a project for anyone other than real studio to tackle, and they'd probably screw it up. Not to mention I don't think there are enough people to give a shit.
