Niek, I have learned not to listen to a single word you say. ^_^ (please take no offense)
Hey Niek, I just reread what I said and I wanted to apologize. What I said was rude, no matter which way you look at it. I haven't been having the best week and I guess it kinda showed there. Sorry. Just to be clear, I have nothing against you at all. ^_^
Anyway Niek, it just seems like you haven't really taken much of a look in to why they made the film the way they did, as Bludleef pointed out. But that's understandable, since you'd have to be watching all of their HoT updates and, unlike me, I doubt you've wanted to take the time to watch all of those.
Also, when I was referring to "imagination", I was wasn't talking about the movie in its entirety, but I was just referring to Link talking... but, yes, judging from the trailers and outtakes, there probably isn't a lot of breakthrough stuff in what Link says. Anyway, it's obvious that it reflects OoT pretty heavily.
Actually they specifically wanted to remake OoT as a movie. That was the whole idea in the first place. But obviously nobody wants to see a direct copy of the game put in to a movie (right?) so they attempted to make it their own thing while still keeping a lot of stuff from OoT, figuring that it would be the best way to make the most fans happy. I do not know if they succeeded in doing that just by watching the 3 trailers, but I guess I'll find out when I see the movie.
I still don't get why people are so gay for fanfics...
This is a fanfic with moving pictures... :x
Honestly, I'm not big on any fanfics, but this is a rare exception. I just think it would be cool to see somebody's interpretation of OoT in movie format, which is basically what this is. It'll probably only be a one time watch, but I at least think it'll be fun to see once.

He's right though, and perhaps you should set aside your desire for a Zelda film to be completed to examine this a bit further.
I'm probably coming across a little more excited about this than I really am.
I have just been checking up on the HoT site every now and then for a couple years, so it's cool to see that it's finally coming out.
I've enjoyed watching their HoT updates because they're kinda funny (Link killing to "Let the bodies hit the floor!" was my fav). Because of that, what I really want to see are the outtakes for the film. I also expect that some of the poorly executed drama in the movie will give me a few laughs as well.
I have examined it enough to know that it will be pretty entertaining in some form or another.
...I AM a student filmmaker that you can do far better than this on their budget. It all looks so plasticy and ridiculous.
Hey, cool that you're a student filmmaker. So is my brother and I've often helped him with his films (mainly musically and being the guy that moves lights around, etc).
I do know that this film sucks in comparison to most movies, probably even some other independent films (except that Indiana Jones one SUCKS! Very boring and why wouldn't the dude shoot him a couple more times instead of thinking that a 2 foot deep grave would hold a live man..? Stupid).
One thing though... they never said what their budget was... so...
I'll just leave it at that.
Just because you can do something does not mean you should. I'll still watch the final film, more than likely, but like any other movie with a shitty looking trailer, my expectations are not too high.
I agree with your statement here. The trailer looks pretty bad and the voice acting wasn't the best at all.
I'm not expecting to be blown away by an amazing movie, but I am expecting to have a few laughs and to possibly see a bit of good action.
If it makes any sense, my expectations are not too high for this, but I'm pretty excited to see it anyway, just because it's Zelda, it's free, and I can. ^_^
