So yeah, I was at MAGFest for the last four days. During this time, they held a panel for this movie (I didn't get to attend, but the scheduling was stupid anyway - why hold a Q&A panel days before you show the movie), and they also showed a super rough cut of the film (which I did attend).
Okay...it's about as good as you'd think it would be.
Quick rundown:
The Good:
-Wily's castle looks awesome, as do quite a few of the other special effects
-Does well with it's budget (which is apparently 3 times what it should have been at this point)
-Some nice video game references thrown in for those paying attention.
-The guy who plays Dr. Wily really hams it up.
-Proto Man is the coolest character in the movie
-The overall look of the Robot Masters, as well as Mega Man, is nice.
-Yellow Devil was badass.
The Bad:
-The girl who plays roll is annoying as #####, and the guy who plays Dr. Light isn't too great either.
-Dialogue sucks, and some of the actors can't save it.
-Most of the fight scenes aren't that good.
Now of course, with a super rough cut, you have to realize that not everything that should be there will be there. Music and special effects weren't there for some of the scenes, leaving for some unintentionally hilarious moments, and there were some spots where it felt like scenes weren't completely shot yet. While we (a 3/4s-filled room) did laugh our asses off throughout the film, we all stood up and clapped at the end. I'm hoping that they'll show a more completed form at the next MAGFest.
The movie has a lot of heart. It does. But in the end, I get the same vibe that I got from the unreleased 1994 Fantastic Four movie: Lots of heart, but it would've been better (or at least tolerable) as a syndicated Saturday afternoon show. As a fan-made film, it's not bad. As a regular film...it's really not that good.

I laughed too. But I love the introduction to the Stage Select. Posted on: 7 May 2010, 23:08:25
I'm sensing... Mega Man Powered Up... Ice Man is nice... and then all of a sudden... STICK TO THE PLAN SOLDIER. Posted on: 7 May 2010, 23:10:02

I'm done watching it. It was pretty okay. |

Well, I saw it this weekend, and I have to say, for what it was, it was pretty good. The end kind of came up a bit fast and the last sequence kind of made me wtf as far as the back and foreth between Copy Robot and Mega Man, but other than that, I was pleased.
Of course you can sit down and nit pick the thing to death (I won't), but I will say I thought Wily made the movie. I just wish his hair and 'stach would have been all white (there I go nit picking).
It does have it's fair share of cringe moments (which aren't all bad really) but it's a college film. And I will say that this thing is INFINITELY better done on all levels than 90% of all the other game to movie franchises out there (Resident Evil, Mario, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Doom, et al).
A good effort!
