Which of these Nintendo movies would you want to see? 1,Another live action Mario movie 2,A live action Zelda movie 3,Direct to video but high quality CGI Mario and Zelda movies released in a Nintendo Video/DVD boxed set?

I don't know, live action movies aren't very convincing when they feature cartoon characters in a real setting.

I would love to see a CG (computer generated) animated movie of either Super Mario Bros., or The Legend of Zelda. And if the stories were supervised by Nintendo, then the movie producers would get more of the facts straight! Perhaps they could be CG cel-shaded - that would be interesting...

I am torn between both, but here are my reasons, as good as they are:

Mario bros: what can i say, the first one sucked(no offense) since that is the case for me, i strongly suggest that the grat directors of today should take up this story and remake it again, but if not remake it, then sequal it! but please, not the same director, for the love of God not the same director!!!! spare us please!!!!! im thinkin maybe speilberg for a great adventure plot, or maybe the guys who directed and wrote "the matrix" for a good action / kill-all-koopas title. any ways, those are my reasons.
p.s. The CGI film idea sounds great also!

Zelda: Ah what can i say, the sword fighting, the purly evil enemies, those hideous bosses, the midevel chivalry of finding the princess (err...dwarf lady) and rescuing her from the clucthes of the final boss, the plot sounds greaat in itself! however only people who have written and directed these types of movies should do this one. im thinkin the guys who did LOTR, or maybe some guys from DreamWorks, ya know!
whew im getting excited already, i just wish these movies were actually in the making!

In either case, let's hope they're not directed by Joel Shumacher.

Personally I dont think Speilberg nor the writters of the matrix could make a good mario movie. If anyone should make another live action mario film it should be Tim Burton. When you really think about it TMK is a world of ummm....weirdness. Everything is twisted and many things if you really think about it mostly in a dark way.

Umm... Tim Burton?! NO WAY!!
Anyway, the SMB move was really bad, in my opinion, but anyway a live-action Zelda movie, if done correctly (like say by Peter Jackson) would probably be good, but I'd have to say that I've been wishing there were a CG Mario movie for some time now... I can just see it, animated production art, Charles Martinet and Jen Taylor for voices... that would be sweet.

I agree that the Super Mario Bros. is trash. It made very high up on my worst movies of all time list. CG is definatly the way to go with Mario. As for peter Jackson directing a live zelda film it just wouldnt work. If you ask me LOTR is the best peice of fantasy film ever created. Zelda couldnt even touch it. If Jackson directed people would see it as a chessy piece of crap no matter how good it was. Simply because Jacksons former works were so much more amazing. Im not saying a live action Zelda film is a bad idea Im just saying get another directer. What about Ridley Scott (I spelled his name wrong didnt I)? Considering his masterpiece of fantasy film "Legend" and the sword swinging dramatic power of "Gladiator" I think Ridley would fit the bill quite nicely.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #9 on:** September 12, 2002, 11:31:24 PM »

Hmm... I haven't seen either of those movies... I agree, LotR is one of the finest films ever made... on the topic of fantasy films, you ever seen Krull?

ooze · « **Reply #10 on:** September 13, 2002, 12:34:12 AM »

No I never saw Krull but I hear Its a Conan Ripoff. Is this true or not?

Mario Maniac · « **Reply #11 on:** September 13, 2002, 05:29:01 AM »

I agree, Riddley Scott would be a terrific director to make a Zelda movie.

What about a Metroid movie? Riddley Scott directed the 1st Alien movie - and the Metroid games bear a slight resemblence to the Alien movies... It could happen!

My biggest problem about a Metroid movie is a serious lack of plotline. They would have to severely alter the games orriginal story. Otherwise it would be nothing but Samus jumping around blasting stuff.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #13 on:** September 13, 2002, 09:45:07 PM »

No, I can't hardly see anything in Krull even remotely similar to Conan... as far as I remember. I thought it was really cool.

frostbite · « **Reply #14 on:** September 13, 2002, 10:13:17 PM »

Yes, Shumacher's the guy that ruined the Batman movies....

As for the Metroid thing, Ridley Scott should direct it because his first name is Ridley. That's like Bob Ganon (animation producer of Calvin and the Colonel [http://us.imdb.com/Title?0054527]) being the director of a Legend of Zelda movie. It's like Kenneth Bowser (director of Superboy [http://us.imdb.com/Title?0094559]) directing a Mario movie. It's like... well, you get the idea.

They somehow get from Brooklyn to The MK, which is supposedly some sort of alternate dimension (I say the MK in the real games is an alternate dimension, but that's different.) So anyway, they get there and they have to save Daisy from Koopa (why didn't they call him Bowser?) who is like running for President or something, and anyway, it's stupid, because he's a guy, and not a Koopa, and the Goombas are like full grown guys with little teeny heads, and Yoshi looks like some kind of real dinosaur, and they wear the wrong clothes, and oh yeah, Daisy's father has been transformed into some kind'a mucous fungus blob thing and then Luigi tries to shake hands with him and it's like real stupid, and anyway, they finally get everything back to the way it's supposed to be, I guess, and the King turns back to a guy and hacks up a whole huge blob of the gunk he was, and (can you tell I've only seen like the last 20 min. or so of it?) then they go back to the "real world" and it's pretty much the end...

Hmm, frostbite, that's cool/weird/interesting stuff you were saying...

Definetly a Super Mario Movie. I would go for a complete computerized movie (like Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Antz, etc.

Then, a Zelda movie or a Star Fox one.

LORD_DUKE · « **Reply #19 on:** October 13, 2002, 04:52:32 PM »

Starfox would be another good movie, but the lack of plot would probably make it suck. i know the games are all andross takes over this place and SF hasta go and kill him, but if they could make a really good plot, that movie would be a box office smash! a great Arwing dog fight scene would be a definite plus!! kinda like starwars!

Pyrasaur · « **Reply #20 on:** October 13, 2002, 07:59:12 PM »

Hmm, a Starfox movie sounds pretty kewl. It's got a pretty usable plotline, and they could use makeup techniques like in Planet Of The Apes to make the actors look right. A Zelda movie could work, as long as it didn't try to steal LOTR territory. Whoever plays Link would be Hollywood's latest stud. :D And I think a Mario movie should get another shot. SMB: The Movie sucked because they changed too much and made it too much live-action, ideally it could be like the Final Fantasy movie, all computer-animated. SMRPG could work for a movie, it's got enough plot and the team of characters would be more interesting than just Mario doing stuff.

Oh yeah, and I wrote up an account of the Mario movie. It's pretty sarcastic and cracks some dodgey jokes, but it's detailed. It's at the website I co-webmaster, http://www.geocities.com/pyratroopa .

I want a Starfox movie!
I've gone insane over Starfox! Starfox Adventures would actually make a pretty good movie, don'cha think?
And when it comes down to it, pretty much every Nintendo film would have to be computer generated.
'Cause we need Krystal! Krystal! Say it with me now! Kry-stal! Kr....

Hmm... well... actually, Starfox Adventures is so much like a movie already, what do we need a real movie for? They all talk and the cinematics are da bomb and...

Well, they'd need to edit SFA a little to make it suitable for use as a movie. For instance, if it were a movie of me playing SFA, 3/4 of the movie would be me hitting Tricky with the staff and laughing hysterically. Most people would get tired of watching Tricky get clobbered after, oh, say, 20 minutes. And lots of the puzzles and stuff would have to be taken out for the sake of time constraints.

Although Krystal is pretty kewl...I haven't played much of the game, can she do anything other than throw barrels?

You could make a movie about my attempts to get 100 on Secret 5 of SMA3... Seriously, It took almost 2 hours from when I started to my 100... enough for a full-length movie!

Secret 5: The Movie!

Feel the excitment when I figure out a new trick!

Feel the horror as I slam the GBA to the ground in anger!

Feel the disappointment when I resign with a 73 on the first futile attempt!

Feel the joy as I run to the goal ring with the 100!

Errrrrrr... Never Mind. You get the point.

Actually, Star Fox probably WOULD make a great movie... It should have an original plot, but with the same characters.

I agree.
Some people might actually like a You Trying to get a 100 in Secret 5 movie, believe it or not.
Pyrasaur:
Well, theoretically, she can do all kinds of cool stuff with her staff, but since she's trapped in that crystal for the duration of the game, no. Way, way back when, when the game was Dinosaur Planet, she had her staff all the time, and it was kinda cool... but it's not as cool as Fox having to save her, even though I wish she had a more substantial part. That's why I want her in another game, with a bigger chunk of the game featuring her.
Why would you hit Tricky? He's really quite useful... although, I agree, when you first meet him, he seems annoying.
But really, the last 10% of the game is the best. It's just about the same as a movie... the plot stuff... but it's better because you're actually doing it.
But man, Krystal's theme (or the love theme, or whatever)... that music just about breaks my heart. Finish the game and you might see why.
I want to see what happens next!
(Also, you know she's only 19? Kinda young for such a deep, mysterious character, don't ya think?)

heh, I could do a commentary: (Don't worry, no spoilers here)

All right, this is that part where I jumped off the edge of the ice block in a desparate attempt to find something. It was kind of funny, but I was really mad when I discovered it was a real pit. I must have been delirious when I did that.

Man, that room was annoying. I must have passed through it about 50 times. Ever get that feeling when you're lost when you think you passed the same spot about 50 times?

Ok, this I hated. There is that almost unreachable chamber near the beginning, and when I wasted 10 minutes and finally figured out how to get there... only a Star cloud! Not a single freaking point there! Grrrrrr...

And so on...

I would comment on the SFA moive, but...

Anyway, no, it is to, in the absurdly rare chance that comeone from that school actually comes here, assure that they don't know I think they are an idiot. I have this really fake identity at school, not to avoid getting beat up, but moreso to avoid going crazy. (Insane and crazy are VERY different things.)
