Err, first of all, this is kind of an old thread. Second, no, I'm not a big TLoS fan, actually. Please don't yell at people/type in all capitals; it's rude.

Pokemon was an anime at around the same time it became a game, so it makes sense to have Pokemon movies.... Spyro, though... I dunno, it's just different. First they change him into this nerdy little combat thing, then they make him into a movie? Just... no.

WTF! WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT!YOUR A FAN,NOT A DISSER!!

No offence, but making a movie on a video game sounds...nerdy, or geeky however you Americans call it...

Is it going to be a kids movie like villain and stuff or is it going to be serious. If it's more of a kids movie they should base it on the older 3 spyro games.

I agree with Sammy. A movie is good, but like they said, if they had made it into a TV series that would be going too far.

I say as long as they keep the movie close to the games, then I'll be happy. Even if it stinks I'm going to see it. Good gosh, I haven't been to the theaters since Lilo & Stitch came out in like 2002.

Please don't flame me for my opinion as it will get you nowhere; thank you.

i'll comment on this in a moment.

Well Stormy, i put it like this. if you are gonna have a smash hit video game series, why not take it to the next level? this will make the series even more popular! making a tv series out of it would be going to far.

now back to the bolded statement. NO ONE is going to flame you for you opinion. that's what this site is for. stating your opinion. yah' dig?

so true but it all depends on the average movie viewer

I am really split over this, I am almost certain the movie will be rubbish, but I just want it to be good.

Games can be made into movies quite successful, such as final fantasy 7 (strange how the FINAL fantasy franchise has more or less the most games outside football). Advent children, although not a blockbuster, is a intresting action movie.

However, I just think that it couldn't work on Spyro, because final fantasy allows you to bond with characters through lots of cutscenes and a ridiculously complicated, and brilliant plot. Spyro bonds through continued battles, and, boring as that sounds, it worked. Spyro therefore is designed to become your friend, through being you.

Which is why the movie has a 97% chance of failing by my estimate, but for what it's worth I will be holding onto that 3% like there's no tomorrow.

I'd prefer it if they'd stay with the games but that's just me. <_<
But who knows...maybe a Spyro movie would be pretty cool...

Just have to wait and see. *sigh*

I'm really divided over it....would I like to see a movie...yes I would...but like Ratchet said way back in this topic...or somebody said anyways....the games are practically like a movie anyways. So in a way I just want them to keep creating games.

I'm just really thinking that they would totally butcher just about any movie version of these games...because the staff they have assigned to it so far does not really give me any comfort.

Too much...I'm leaning towards yes. Keep it as a game where it belongs...once you start dealing with actual movies and such you are playing with fire. They better hope for their sake that they don't drive this whole thing into the ground.

Well, It's about time they have an official movie, you know....
For all those games they made, they could have made a movie earlier....

(I know it's too far, but its worth it for Spyro's fans!)

The games were like films O_o so I think that's enough. More cutsecens than gameplay...

This would be a good kid movie, but I think they should just stick to the games. But I guess none of us will really know if it's good or not till it comes out, right?
