Sorry for the bump but I found this video...
… yeah…
I have never played any of those games or seen any of the movies. But that just looked awful. I mean the game was doing so much of a better job than the movie. That is exactly why I wouldn't want any Metal Gear movies.
They work as games, but as movies… well I couldn't be so sure? I mean all of MGS3 existed in areas that looked absolutely NOTHING like Russia, so would they choose to redesign the place to actually look like Russia? I bet they would. And the games could never keep a consistent serious tone, which was actually quite a cool thing. Seeing a movie attempt the small bursts of stupidity/silliness would probably feel a bit more off.
They'd also have to cut a lot of plot out, and that would annoy me too… although maybe not so much with MGS2, I mean that was great and all, but I wouldn't mind so much if it were slightly more straightforward (for the sake of a movie).
