It's true. Even when I saw it first time on PS1, I didn't find the graphics appealing. Particularly, the color palette is super boring (like they could only use a few hundred colors max otherwise the hardware would croak or something). What got me hooked was the spy thriller movie theme of the storyline. It's like what a James Bond story would be like if he changed careers and became a mercenary. The first 30 minutes or so need patience. After that, you will be dying to find out what happens next.
They are now. Haven't you seen Sonic the movie? Great fun. It wouldn't exist without the game. Also, MGS is being turned into a movie too.

What does the plot-line of a old video game have to do with the creativity of movie-writers now?
It's more coz the typical game costs less to make than a Hollywood movie so they are more willing to try risky/more creative storylines in games first. Hollywood studios would rather churn out predictable and likable formulaic movies than take a risk on original ideas.

La Li Lu Le Lo!!!
Confused? Imagine how deep the game's story is if you need to explain just one line from the game: What does "La Li Lu Le Lo" mean or represent? : metalgearsolid (reddit.com)

Maybe it's me but I'd say she looks nothing like Calista Flockhart?
(beyond being white and female)

Like, maybe a little around the nose and eyebrows, but not much.

Oh. Lizzie Mcguire's mom!!!
I had a serious crush on Hilary Duff when I was 25. Don't judge me!
I can't explain it but if you focus only on the eyes and nose and lips and her facial bone structure, she resembles Calista a lot. Plus, the way she's staring, Calista did that a lot in Ally Mcbeal.
By the way, how many of you had an image of an ostrich pop up in your head any time you saw this expression on her face:
