You have to watch the Mega Man movie trailer

Though we're excited to see the robo-battles, we're a little nervous about being exposed to Dr. Wily's mustache for any considerable span of time. Is he serious with that thing? It looks like he let Mr. Snuffleupagus sleep on his upper lip.

can anyone confirm that the video isnt working? cause my internet is slow, but not this slow...
Tobias Reach @ Nov 24th 2008 12:18PM
Confirmed. Video must be borked. Tried the copy over at Game|Life, too, and the still nothing.
Courtney @ Nov 24th 2008 12:33PM
I got it to work at the source link, but it seemed to lock up for about 10 seconds before it started.
Kris @ Nov 24th 2008 5:58PM
works just fine for me
TheHashishin @ Nov 24th 2008 12:18PM
yeah, not working for me either.
Austin @ Nov 24th 2008 12:19PM
SO wait is this a movie actually coming out in japan? or is it all fake?

use the youtube, one it works.
Eric @ Nov 24th 2008 12:22PM
It's because there are alot of people hitting the server this is on. It's going to be really slow.
Deeznuts420 @ Nov 24th 2008 12:26PM
wouldnt it be ROCKMAN?
Darrell @ Nov 24th 2008 8:42PM
They referenced it by giving him the first name Rock.
Eric @ Nov 24th 2008 12:27PM
Ehhh, was not that impressed. Costumes look cool. But other then that. not much there.
BIGGEN (LIVE-PSN: BIGGEN1103) @ Nov 25th 2008 8:54AM
yeeeeaaaah, reminds me of Power Rangers. That's not a good thing.
dubbz3030 @ Nov 24th 2008 12:28PM
Is this like a college project or something. that shit is funny!!
Ranus Studios @ Nov 24th 2008 12:28PM
Son of a bitch, I was just thinking of ways to do a Mega Man movie that didn't suck. Dudes beat me to it!
Balla360 @ Nov 24th 2008 3:28PM
No they didn't.
reign-♥-of-♥-love @ Nov 24th 2008 12:30PM
have to say that was kinda gay. comment me down if you disagree. little underwhelming isnt it?
Xoviet chiK @ Nov 24th 2008 12:56PM
Is it even possible to be underwhelmed by a not for profit, no-budget, independent web film *trailer*?
aristokrat @ Nov 24th 2008 12:30PM
Well, I thought that chick was a dude in a wig at first.
But otherwise, it doesn't look terrible It seems that they have a decent scriptwriter, judging from the lack of abysmal lines, and decent acting to boot. Might be a fun watch.
Popfrogs @ Nov 24th 2008 1:59PM
Hahah, I thought the exact same thing about the chick until she talked later in the trailer. Hilarity.
Neil @ Nov 24th 2008 12:32PM
Wow....just wow. Makes the old Power Rangers TV show look like Emmy winning stuff.
Courtney @ Nov 24th 2008 12:34PM
I thought it was cool.
Rein @ Nov 24th 2008 12:37PM
That Dr. Light looks hot... and somewhat familiar.
Either way, I'd tap all of that.
mindshed @ Nov 24th 2008 12:53PM
amusing, but probably still not a great use of time
Burritoclock @ Nov 24th 2008 12:55PM
As opposed to commenting about it on a video game blog which is a great use of time...
Just ribbing you.
The Dark Wayne @ Nov 24th 2008 12:40PM
I thought at first that the person playing roll was a boy, at the end I still am not entirely convinced she isnt.
TWD Industries @ Nov 24th 2008 1:06PM
Aww, man, I put my headshots in for both Cutman and Fireman. I totally could have done that.
Blazur @ Nov 24th 2008 1:14PM
The did a good job stealing the song from one of the greatest moments in the Transformers movie. Oh, and Sub Zero have a cameo appearance in this?
Shmil @ Nov 24th 2008 6:36PM
there was a great moment in the transformers movie?
Viol8tor Mode @ Nov 24th 2008 1:31PM
Why are all the "Robots" played by asians? lol.
P.S: is that Protoman @ 2:30 mark?
ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Nov 24th 2008 5:18PM
Crap, we've been detected.
Hashbrown Hunter @ Nov 24th 2008 1:24PM
Uh...is it just me, or does Mega Man look a LOT like Jet Li in that teaser poster?
Kye - Capcom DF @ Nov 24th 2008 1:36PM
I thought so too.
KiraXD @ Nov 24th 2008 2:35PM
yup i thought so too... lol
Ningin @ Nov 24th 2008 1:27PM
Hey sorry about the site slow downs at Ningin.com. Every time we've added a new server or optimized something, more people just keep coming! So just come back a bit later, the servers are working, just being extremely taxed.
And the embedded player here on joystiq isn't going to work. We're not YouTube quite yet and can't afford to stream hi-def videos on other websites, especially one as popular as joystic! But we're going to fix that soon hopefully!
The Fatass of Kickassness @ Nov 24th 2008 1:27PM
Seems interesting enough, but the robot master design seems a bit too Megaman X-ey for my tastes... I guess that's about the only thing you could do if you're going for a live action Megaman, I guess.
FOXHOUND @ Nov 24th 2008 4:51PM
It's that or Vin Diesel. ;D
KarlW @ Nov 24th 2008 1:35PM
That guy looks nothing like Megaman!
Batzarro @ Nov 24th 2008 1:39PM
Kinda cool. Though I don't get why Wiley's face is all sick.
Blazur @ Nov 24th 2008 1:39PM
The actor playing Dr. Wiley is just now going through puberty.
xGeneral DEATHx (Mr ESC Welcome Back Party Ultimate Mega Action Force) @ Nov 24th 2008 1:49PM
Another interesting trailer-never-meant-to-be-a-real-film is "Grayson"...google it and enjoy endless hero cameos from the interesting to the downright why-the-fuck-did-they-throw-him-in-there.
Blazur @ Nov 24th 2008 2:03PM
Oh man Grayson rocks! I'm still hoping this becomes and actual movie. Dig around and look for a behind the scenes making of the trailer, which is equally as entertaining.
bAssackwards @ Nov 24th 2008 2:12PM
Wow, that was awesome!
... now I want a Mega Man movie to really be made. =o(
Mister Servo @ Nov 24th 2008 2:42PM
That was actually pretty damn good and they went with a nice epic selection of music for their trailer. The guy playing Dr. Wiley is sooo damn cheesy, yet it's oddly perfect for the character.
Charlie_Six @ Nov 24th 2008 3:12PM
I thought it was kinda cool. The special fx when Megaman drops onto the street was really well done I thought. I don't know if I'd watch the movie for 1.5 hours though!
I wanna make my own B-movie some day.
navstar @ Nov 24th 2008 4:09PM
I dunno. All the robots look like they are right out of the game. They don't look "cinematic" enough. It's like Michael Bay Transformers vs. Fanboy 3D Transformers. There needs to be a little artistic interpretation to make them believable. The MM art style doesn't translate directly to reality without looking cartoony.
Kevin949 @ Nov 24th 2008 3:48PM
I'd watch it.
D @ Nov 25th 2008 8:02PM
haha i'm diggin the Dark Knight soundtrack.
Kassu @ Nov 24th 2008 4:32PM
LOL @ random Shoryuken in the dramatic-music-clips.
343 Guilty Fart @ Nov 24th 2008 6:03PM
Oh c'mon, what's not to like about this? Some people like Mega Man enough to go out on their own time and money and film this stuff. I thought it was awesome. I'm not sure about a whole feature length film, but as a trailer it was fun and well done. Who didn't love Mega Man dropping onto the street, that was brilliant.
If you didn't at least crack half a smile then I think something's wrong with you.
Cadeaux @ Nov 25th 2008 12:49AM
Wheres Rush?
