At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

... View MoreFirst off, I'm a fan of the game series from Capcom, Mega Man, the story of a blue robot who began his life as a lab assistant to the goodly Dr. Light. When Dr. Light's old acquaintance and partner stole the original six robot masters in the first game, Rock, as he was known, chose to become "The Blue Bomber," Mega Man.This movie follows the plot pretty much to the letter and doesn't deviate from the source material. I was impressed with the fact the director could pull off CGI as he did that was as good as anything you see on a made-for-television movie and even added in a great soundtrack (albeit taken from other films) to blend into the story.My rating however, comes with the following complaints.Non-profit or not, the acting could have been a bit better. That said, that could be easily fixed with a little more editing. If those two things could be rectified then this movie would be an excellent addition to any movie collection, though in my opinion it is regardless.The fight scenes were a bit bland, but they weren't the worst I've ever seen. Also, the character of Dr. Wily steals the movie completely. It was awesome as an experience to see Mega Man come to life on the computer screen, acted by a real person and not talking like a child.I give it a 7 out of 10, and it's well deserved.
... View MoreMaybe I'm a little too old to remember the video game, but as someone who came into viewing this film pretty cold I found it to be pretty entertaining from start to finish. I should point out this movie has the look and feel of a low budget indie flick, but in my opinion, the storyline, acting, and characters surely make up for it. After getting past the first 10 minutes, I found my interest growing. The characters are genuinely interesting, and the story progresses along nicely. Nice performances by "Rock" and "Roll" (cute names), and "Dr. Light" along with the other supporting cast. My favorite of course was "Dr. Wily". He puts so much emotion and effort behind the role he genuinely comes across as being despicable! The fight scenes are a little short and the computer animation shows, but we're not talking about a film here that had the budget of "Transformers 1 & 2", so it's understood and forgiven (in fact I found both the Transformer movies to be quite boring and unimpressive). There are some laughs and chuckles throughout the 90 minutes. Some intentional, some maybe not. But I can genuinely say, for someone who is as picky and critical of low budget sci-fi films, I actually enjoyed this one through. Give it a watch, you may just find yourself enjoying it as well!
... View MoreThis movie was just plain awful. The camera shots were not good. The actors can not act. EVERYTHING looks fake. My opinion is that some production company needs to pick up the Mega-Man title and redo this entire movie. WITH higher quality everything!!The armor of mega-man looks like some kids went down to the local bike shop and purchased pads to make them look like they had armor on to appear like they were highly advanced worriers.There were some shots with the camera where they zoomed into far then zoomed out and it is totally obvious they had messed up. If you like amateur type movies i recommend watching this. If not, the movie will be a waist of your time.Over all i give this movie 2 thumbs down.
... View MoreAs a Megaman fan, I watched this movie, but wasn't really impressed. It is a independent movie, though. You must forgive Mr. Lebron about it.However, the movie falls flat on it's face in some parts of the film. A lot of the dialouge in the movie is rather cheesy and vapid. Dr. Light's character seemed rather unrealistic and came out as boring at times. Dr. Wily, however seemed to steal the show. The actor who played as him really put some spice in his character that he played as. There are a lot of talky scenes that make you want to fast forward to the good parts of the film.There is a lot of talking in this. A lot of talking. Most of it drags on forever it seems. Megaman seemed to either act like Ralph Wiggum or X from X7 at times, but that can be excused.The fight scenes are not overly impressive, lasting only a few seconds to a minute tops.The Robotmasters are okay looking. Possibly the best looking one was Gutsman. The rest were okay, aside from Iceman and Elecman who reminded me of Sub Zero and Scorpion in their outfits.If you want a Mega Man fix, watch the Ruby Spears Cartoon that came out in the mid 90's. It maybe cheesy and corny, but it's way better than this waste of time.The movie nets 2 out of 10 stars and a C-.
