Insufficient Funds is a regular post in which we feature a free, or very close to it, piece of media that you can enjoy without overdrafting your bank account. So if you're low on funds, stay tuned to Cerebral Pop every Friday morning.
Every single time Hollywood adapts a popular franchise -- whether it be from video games, comics, or books -- fans of the series find faults. Sure, there have been many movies that were met with mostly favorable reviews, but in general it seems that the common belief is that a fan would have done it better justice. Well, we might finally have our evidence.
A 90 minute, fan-made Mega Man film is out. Here's the thing, I think it kind of proves that the common belief I referenced before is actually wrong. I watched the whole movie, and it was enjoyable enough, but it had a lot of Hollywood clichés that we fans would have raged over if they were in a big budget adaptation made by some Michael Bay-esque director.
Still, I respect the drive that it took to make this movie, and it was certainly good enough to kill a Saturday afternoon of mine. I just kind of wish that I'd have at least had some big budget robot masters to oggle with my eyes while I was ignoring the groan-worthy clichés. Oh, and if you needed another reason besides "to kill time", Wily is amaaaaazing. Perfect casting for him.
Go and watch the whole thing right here, for free. Hit the jump for the trailer.
