Maybe if it was like 10 minutes. A full movie? No. There's just not enough there.

Absolutely not. In fact, I'd rather the first Metroid movie be based on that one manga that actually explored Samus's past.

it would need to be short. Probably only an hour and a half, tops.

I would argue we would at least need some dialogue from the mission briefing. Some from Mother Brain and Ridley, too, if we want to avoid them coming across as just brainless monsters.

Have the first part cover Samus' past as seen in the manga, a brief look at her time at the academy with *sigh* Adam, and then continue on to the story of Metroid 1, where she combats the Metroids, Ridley, and Mother Brain.

I imagine a silent film version of Metroid would be like a cross between A Trip to the Moon (1902) and The Mysterious Island (1929).

It would actually be pretty fun to do as a 12-minute short.

Yeah, this way we can be shown why there's so much hatred between Samus and Ridley and not just simply told.

No. Samus wouldn't be blabbermouthing non-stop either. Because who is she going to talk to? But a completely or almost completely silent modern movie might bore audiences. I've seen a couple movies where they barely said a word through most of it to build atmosphere and nodded off.
