| DTG said: Actually I'm a huge movie fan and have watched hundreds upon hundreds of films from various countries and in various genres. Not a single film however has ever matched MGS2 in terms of depth of it's story. MGS4 is similar except for the horrible Hollywood inspired ending. The reasons films cannot match MGS is because they have a two hour runtime and so the focus is on action and pacing without the time to indulge in philosophical dialogue as MGS games do. They cannot go as in-depth with their storytelling and do not afford the time to divulge details. |
I stopped rating films on Netflix when I hit 4,000. I think it's safe to say I have seen a few films in my day.
Bolded:
You want a war setting film that explores characters and story far deeper than any Metal Gear Solid game? Simple, it took me all of 20 seconds to think of one that makes MGS look bad in every way, shape, and form:
Apocolypse Now.
If you're really in love with thick monologues and character exposition, opt for the 3 hour Redux version. That movie crams more philosophy, characterization, plot, setting, and emotion in three hours than Kojima could in 50.
