Been done already. And it was probably better than what Fox can crap out. Move along.

A Mega Man movie would be awesome... if it were literally done by ANYONE but Fox. How anyone could seriously give them the rights to any movie or franchise after the crap they pulled with Fantastic Four is beyond me. They'll really kill it if they say Michael Bay is going to be behind it...

robots + explosion + some kind of plot = profit

[Summons75]

lazy and unprofessional studi + low budget + bad CGI + too many explosions + plus terrible writing = a terrible movie, not much profit.

[Darkfist]

but it did work with transformers

[Summons75]

Did you watch the MB movies? They are awful, horrible writing and the robots look nothing like they should in car mode or transformed state (Except for Optimus being a truck, that's about it.). The effects are pretty good but besides that the only positive thing about the movie is that it's not as bad as the Ninja Turtles movie...that's just a whole different level of awful.

@Summons75

I totally agree with you, the MB movies are garbage. However the point is they were really profitable.

That's FOX's only angle.

[rainslacker]

It worked as a popcorn flick. The writing and cinematography was terrible, and about the only thing that remained from the original show was Optimus in form and attitude....but even he was reduced to nothing but quippy one-liners. The other transformers were shells of their former self(vehicle types aside). it was very one dimensional, and the followup's were just as bad. The decepticon's had very little reason to be in the story except for exciting set pieces. At least in the original show they had motives beyond just being the bad guy. They're enjoyable for what they are, but it doesn't make me go back and think of the good stuff that the original series had.

Haha it looks like Mega man has boobs in the thumbnail

[DarthJay]

There are some things that I just can't see translating to live action. Mega Man is certainly high on that list.

[Lukejrl]

Probably have to make him megaperson to be politically correct.

[TWB]

Umm, hasnt Megamans prime time ended like... years ago?

New game could be cool but I doubt it. Capcoms probably just whoring out everything they can.

At least thats how I see it, considering some time ago they were on the edge of bankruptcy.

Working title "Megabomb"

[Unyoked]

Please no

Fox does O.K. With original movies, but their track record with licensed properties is horrible (though the X-Men movies have fared slightly better).
