If it's crap... We'll tell you

Video Game Movies

Alright so far we have been graced with the videogame adaptations of Hitman and Doom. Im just kidding they were shit. Anyway with the new and upcoming topics of Halo:The Movie (which was a garbage game nyway) And Gears of War: The Movie (best game ever fuck off if u dont like it.) So by what we've been given so far do you think these movies are worth making (besides the garunteed nerds who will pay top dollar love the movie just cause they wack off 2 the games) Or is it money poorly spent when ideas can go into making more fun and original movies?

But, I did play the campaign for the first Halo game and the story is cool.
I think it will attract the non-gamer sci-fi geeks.
I am sure Halo won't suck as much as the other video game movies.; ▶ Reply to This

Personally I would love to see a 3 hour movie adaptation of Final Fantasy 7. Parasite Eve would work well too. Now that I have played SSBB, I think I'd like to see that written into a movie.; ▶ Reply to This

I can't really think of any VG movies that turned out to be good. You would have thought the FF Spirits Within would have been good, given the cinematic feel of those games, but even that was garbage. When I was younger, I used to really like Super Mario Brothers, but now I understand it was just some old bullshit.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Final Fantasy Tactics movie. That game made sense, and I liked all the political machinations. Ohter games that might be good movies (albeit cartoons) would be Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, or Sly Cooper. Not a lot of deep material, but if you get some of the same writers fun could be had.; ▶ Reply to This

They should make a live-action Zelda movie. That would be badass.; ▶ Reply to This
