  • Forrest Pando plus 2 years ago
    Very well done! I thought the graphics were great all around. The voice acting is great...though the lip sync is off it is %100 understandable why it is all voice over and it sounds spot on. Great writing and great everything. Look forward to part 2.

  • Ryan Jenq 2 years ago
    Just curious, was this filmed chronologically? A lot of the scenes in the beginning, I didn't like so much, but it got a lot better in terms of quality, shot choices, directing and all that. From the trailer 1 sequence on, that shit was incredible.
  • Hive Division plus 2 years ago
    Yes, the scenes in the beginning were shot like 2 years ago... during this time we improved our skills and we apllied them on the producction of the Final Battle: please considert this part as our benchmark ;)
  •  
  • Ryan Jenq 2 years ago
    Man, seriously, to be honest I thought the beginning was kind of amateur, but the last 30 minutes were absolutely breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking. I just had to post again to say how intense it got, how messages were actually being conveyed without seeming pretentious, or trying too hard it was just, there. I really really loved the film. Damn son, the composition during the shootout? That was ace.

  • Shadow Ghost 2 years ago
    I hope this gets an award of some sort and a T.V. Spot! I wonder if Hideo Kojima has contacted them and has seen it himself. Awesome work! So, this was part one of three? When will we see the next two parts?! Have they even been filmed yet? I mean, they've been working on this the past three years. I guess they are just releasing it in increments? Looking forward to it! Hive Division, good luck in future endeavors.
  • Hive Division plus 2 years ago
    Still no dates for the other two parts, we didn't start to film them yet, we are waiting about the feedback of this one.

  • Jaron 2 years ago

    This is far beyond any fanmade production I've ever seen. I can't still believe. People should pay to watch this :) ...But then again, this is a work of passion.

    11 out of 10.
  • Josh Chichon 2 years ago
    I'd pay to see it!
    I'd pay to buy a DVD!
    I'd pay to help produce the sequel D;!
  •  
  • Josh Chichon 2 years ago
    That was amazing, I expected no less, fantastic work, I would "Pay" to see a sequel, that's right, I'd pay money to see this, it's brilliant, well done, I top my hat to all those involved in this, was done quite well and deserves praise.

    Around the final quarter of the movie, that's the most amazing, Snake fighting the Metal Gear, pure brilliance, I can't describe how well done this is, how much praise it deserves.

    For a fan project, this sure beats any movie I've seen recently.

    I think District 9 has just been replaced as top movie of 2009 in my books with Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy.

    Man I'd love a DVD of this for my shelf!

    Superb work, would definitely love to see a sequel or two.

  • Josh Chichon 2 years ago
    Okay, seriously, had to post a second comment, I have to say I loved the movie, the humor was great, not too much, not too little, the DS, the Video Game Character suggestion and even the Ass looking, all of it was at the right time and the right moment, it wasn't half assed either, it was spectacular.

    You should really promote the movie more and more to get it more recognised, and please, somehow get a DVD copy, I want this on my shelf, lol.

    Amazing movie, I'm going to watch it a second time tomorrow maybe, and some friends of mine are huge Metal Gear fans, they'll freak when they hear how good this is!

    I actually look forward to any other Original works, including fanbased works you may have planned or may present in the future, definitely going to keep up to date with you guys lol.

    Bel lavoro Giacomo, complimenti. Durante tutta la durata del film ci sono davvero delle ottime inquadrature degne di un big budget movie.

    The voice actors after the credits were just amazing, they are hilarious. I was almost chocking at the Samuel L. Jackson joke.

    I can't wait for part two.

    A MGSP night is coming, and lots of people will join in, big 1080p true HD screen, decent soundspeakers and lots of popcorn.

    This is going to be awesome!

  • Dant Nobela 2 years ago
    I have to agree with a lot of people though. Overall the movie was great, but you can definitely notice the difference in quality from the first quarter when compared to the last 2/3rds. Also, FREAKING EPIC, all those crazy soldiers charging arms tech like that, WOW. But also LOL at the end, exactly like The Fellowship of the Ring, but not a bad thing at all though.

    THIS IS AWESOME.

    This is a demonstration of your production wits and creativeness - to work within such a tight budget to maximize your resources into a high concept action flick.

    I'll fly over and help shoot your 2nd installment if you don't mind foreign talents!

    THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING!!!! I literally made an account specifically just to comment on how F$#king amazing of a job Hive has done.

    The story line was smooth. I was actually Heartbroken towards the end of the movie when I realized it was going to be ending without a conclusion.

    PLEASE keep up the good work, take as long as you need to take in making the other parts !

    God damn !!! that was amazing !!!!!!!!! I have to rate this, THE BEST fan based movie I have ever seen!!!! EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A Rigged Production plus 2 years ago
    Great work, loved it.

    Superb, utterly exceptional film considering the lack of budget and resources I'm sure, coupled with the non-profit production, makes this unquestionably AWESOME!

    The voice acting was spot on, especially Snake, I kept asking myself throughout the film "There's no way they could have afforded David Hayter... right? Right?... shiiit..." and then I realised, "Well no, they couldn't, but it doesn't matter cause the VO Artist is fucking talented! That's what!" lol.

    Soundtrack was great, effects were great the whole damn thing far exceeded my expectations and I loved the outtakes at the end, hilarious

    "Hmm... What?! No, I'm fine with my long distance coverage!... *grumble grumble*"

    lol'd so hard.

    Hope the exposure works well for you, I've friends nested well within the Italian film industry so who knows, I might run into you sooner or later!

    Cheers and keep it up!

    You're the man, don't forget it.

    And finish the mission Snake! You Talamini and your crew are a great inspiration.

    And I don't know, but you could upload the making of, this could be a great source for others to have ideas too. Like a director's cut explaning a CGI scene, what camera you used, storyboard. Like a special about the movie.

    I think such a great material deserves something like this.

    Thank you and congratulations for you Talamini and your crew!

    This is indeed a most outstanding production!!!
    It reminded me of the day when I wanted to also do a movie of Metal Gear, but I'm just excited that someone finally did it after all this time!!!! Very inspiring!!! I cannot wait for The two sequels!!!! Though this was a fan movie, it topped a lot of Hollywood Produced movies lately. I'm going to do all I can to make sure people know this movie exists, and I hope you guys do get all of the recognition you are looking for. I'm really anxious to learn about that mysterious character!!!!
    Cheers!! Beers!! And Horns!!

    By the way the extra footage was fkn awesome!! To the MAAAALLLLLL!!!!! LMAO!!

    Great job guys, it's an amazing italian movie an honour for all the nation!!!!
    Grandi ragazzi siete stati superlativi!!! Perdonate l'entusiasmo ma la vostra opera lascia senza fiato soprattutto tenendo conto del fatto che è italiana e realizzata da italiani.Un orgoglio!!! E che cavolo! Possibile che solo francesi o americano o inglesi sapessero fare certi film? Avete dimostrato al mondo la pasta di cui siete fatti e di cui l'Italia è fatta, regalandoci un film che mi ha emozionato molto. Complimenti al regista Giacomo Talamini, agli attori la cui recitazione non è stata mai sopra le righe, dimostrando anzi una bravura che solo dei seri professionisti possiedono. Un applauso al direttore della fotografia e ai lead team per i loro effetti speciali, inseriti all'interno del film direi, alla James Cameron, ossia integrati perfettamente nella storia senza che prendano sopravvento su di essa. Non dimentichiamo la musica che ha saputo sottolineare con maestria i momenti del film , ora dolce e fluida come i sentimenti dei personaggi ora dura e greve come la pioggia dei proiettili sparati nelle scene d'azione. Okay! Basta!! Non voglio sembrare troppo piacione ma sono rimasto folgorato dal lavoro di equipe che avete saputo compiere. Spero che in Italia o all'estero ci sia un produttore con le palle che sappia investire su di voi. Ve lo meritereste. Con stima e sincero affetto. Andrea Di Bartolo

    This movie should be a model on which successive Metal Gear Solid franchise projects are based off.
    The fact that this movie was undertaken by a group of Italian filmmakers on a modest budget should put Hollywood to shame. The blending of live action and special effects renderings were on par and the script left room for new avenues to be explored.
    If Mr. Kojima isn't paying attention to this film then I don't know what to say.
    This is the team you want to make the first feature length film.
    At least bring them in as creative consultants.

    I've registered on the site just cause I had to tell you how impressed I was. I read a couple of reviews from the IMDB site and there was a couple saying.. past 15 mins it all goes a bit tits up.

    Honestly.. I thought it was great!! Had me gripped, the action scenes were quality. Even though this is a "low-budget and fan based production", I would class this as better than some of the movies I've seen recently in the cinema!

    You cast Snake, just right too, voice, look was perfect.

    Another specific thing I loved from the movie was the soundtrack, it was brilliant. You man Daniel James (i guess it was him as his name was on the credits) the soundtrack accompnying this movie is worthy of Harry Gregorson Williams!

    I think I've mentioned everything.. just keep it up, make parts 2 & 3 as I really want to see what happens!

    If Hideo Kojima and Konami are not keeping thier eye on you guys I'd be very surpised!

    All the best
