I wonder if/when the tide of bad video game movies will turn and if so which game movie will it be? I don't really foresee any of the currently slated ones turning out well.
I just saw that the other day. Well a little of it, I slept through most. That's not meant as a knock on the movie just what happened, I wanted to watch the whole thing.
(Silent Hill was suppoused to be the one that turned the tide... us gamers just too damn picky about our adaptations. "PYRAMID HEAD WASN'T IN THE FIRST ONE WHY IS HARRY A CHICK?" I know pleanty of people who haven't played the game who thought it was an original and really cool movie. But then again, it was terribly paced and not very well made...)
The thing is that it hasnt turned yet, and I dont think it will, most video games just isnt made to be translated over to movie format without losing a lot of stuff that was in the game.
Everytime I see the Hitman previews it pains me how they are going to screw it up. Those kinds of large extravagant battles don't go with Hitman. Hitman kills people stealthily without anyone noticing, he isn't supposed to go all out Rambo style unless you really like to play the games like that but it's actually just as hard as actually finding a stealthy way through.
