When one thinks fan films based off of video game properties, one thing comes to mind -- it's gotta be better than Uwe Boll's Alone in the Dark.
Fortunately, Boll had absolutely nothing to do with Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy. The fan film (produced by the Italy-based Hive Division) is a wholly original and independent piece of work that mixes live action with CGI. Chances of it being better than any Hollywood produced Metal Gear film are high, but that's not saying much.
Is it me, or does the CG metal gear in this trailer looking like a walking dildo? Hey, I'm just saying, is all. It's still better than Bloodrayne. Not that I like dildos better than Kristanna Loken. Because I don't, okay?
Yeah, it looks like it could be a good low-budget film, but I have a problem with the voices. I have trouble understanding anyone other than Snake, even though they're speaking English.
I think they should speak in their native language and just add subtitles, their english really kind of sets it off. (i believe they're italian? might sound cool)
also, this sounds gay, but snake really needs tighter pants.
The guy did the motions of Snake really well. He must have done his homework, as I really thought it was Snake walking around. And yeah, the ambient nature of the set and cinematography put this film far above anything we usually see. If there ever is an MGS movie, I hope they look to this for some help. Very well made.
I don't know what you're used to sticking up your arse mate but those Metal Gears looked nothing like any dildo I ever saw, you're obviously a sexual pioneer.
The dialogue sucks. They all sound like the deaf tennis ball girl from Seinfeld. Yea, Snake should be wearing tighter pants because these ones make it look like he has a badonkadonk. A droopy one at that. Snake looks kinda like Jean Reno. Hell I prefer Italian with subtitles over that.
Overall it's not too bad, but my biggest gripe about it would be the fact that all of the shots of Snake sneaking and moving around would have to make up like a third of the movie. With a character like that and the way the games work, it doesn't make much sense to have Snake getting into gunfights every twenty minutes.
i have all of the metal gear games and the movie looks like it would be successful if it is done right. i saw the japaneese version and it sucks snake doesnt have black hair its brown and in the game he a white dude not asian so i support the italian version it could cool, but the guy who is playing snake needs to work out to get built like snake

metal gear looks like a walking meat spin. i mean this.
But yeah, this trailer got the feel of MGS spot on. If only they were speaking a little more clearly.
That movie will be done alot better on the big screen.
Also Nick, stop thinking of male prosthetics.
But I was defenetly impressed by that it looks REALLY damn good for low budget fan made movie!
Hey Destructoid, keep us updated about this if you could ^^
Also made my own based around twin Snakes
