I love the mass effect series, me2 is one of the most impressive games ever.. But (yes, you knew it was coming), I feel no urge to see Hollywood's take on it.
ME was interesting, clever and ME2 in particular had some interesting morally ambivalent paths to choose- probably why I enjoyed it, while not being a fan of fuckwit trekkiedom space opera.
Taking a good game and trying to make a movie out of it won't work- if you put it through a sausage machine that strips it of all notable features, and the things that made it interesting. The generic exploding blockbuster pipeline does that, reducing everything to the lowest common denominator. Thus must adaptations of everything end up as over-compressed exploding pap.
Kinda telling that the only film that I've actually bothered to see in the cinema this year was "Four Lions". The rest were either on DVD, or via torrents. It's not worth the time, money or noisy slurping face-stuffing phone-shouting cinema tard pain, going all that way to see yet another cookie cutter affair.
Rant., ramble etc. Sorry, I am miffed enough that this has made me rather incoherent. Gonna make some coffee and wake up a bit.
