The movie was great fun. C’mon. William Fictner with vampire teeth, Cameron Bright in a Briefcase, and flaming fucking swords. 10 levels of awesome.

And no, I’m actually not being sarcastic this time.
I put up a positive review of Ultraviolet over at Twitchfilm upon released, and was pleasantly raked over the coals by the readership there….

Ouch.

Just okay. Ultraviolet was a piece of shit with some pretty neat ideas which weren’t approached properly. I say thee nay to Kurt Wimmer. MGS is my favorite game of all time so I’ll probably be disappointed no matter what, but I’d prefer if someone associated a little more with quality films were brought onboard.

Bale, on the other hand, would be a great choice to play Snake. It’s just too bad that this movie wasn’t made about ten or twenty years ago when Kurt Russell would have been a prime candidate for the role. Then again, in the newer games Snake is fairly over the hill…

Wimmer, at least as director, doesnt really strike me as class A. Equilibrium was a good movie. Also a connection with Christian Bale, who would be a fantastic choice for Snake. I suppose I wouldnt mind him directing. And I dont really blame him for Ultra Violet. From my understanding, the film was just kind of thrown out there quite unfinished. I will say I was expecting something alittle bit more big named. I suppose Kojima should have said “A contract that will most definitely not involve Uwe Boll” instead.
