Movies based on video games.

Not sure which topic this should go to. Move it if it needs to be.

Most of the movies based on games.......

Suck

Which games do you think would make a decent or great feature film? Or a bad one.

BAD:

Fusion Frenzy.

Bad Bad Bad!

Re: Movies based on video games.

Why do you ask which ones would be good, and then proceed to list a bad one?


I dunno....maybe Shenmue or Indigo Prophesy. Although they would probably not do justice to either of them.


Either that, or Mario Party. Just think of the possibilities for character development. We could finally see what makes Donkey Kong tick. I've always seen him as a sort of tragic figure.

Forgot to add the bad.

Castlevania.

Re: Movies based on video games.

I certainly hope that that turns out good.

Re: Movies based on video games.

Castlevania.

I know I'm going to be seeing that, because SOMEONE is a total Castlevania whore and is going to want me to go. >_>

I want to see it too, but I'd want to see it more if it was an SoTN movie.

I'd like to see a Shadow of the Colossus movie.

Complete with an hour of uncut horseback riding footage.

Re: Movies based on video games.

They could make a couple really good movies out of the Legacy of Kain series. But a lot of the bad game movies that have come out could have been good, they just weren't handled right. Silent Hill was almost good, just needed a few more rewrites. Resident Evil should've been a tongue-in-cheek zombiefest. They just need to be more selective of who they let make these movies. Paul W.S. Anderson is a hack and Uwe Boll is certifiably insane.

Re: Movies based on video games.

If they didn't **** up Resident Evil, they'd have the opportunity to make the sweetest monster movie ever since The Thing.

Other than that the MGS movie could be good I guess.

Re: Movies based on video games.

i think the mistake is taking video games that already have an acceptable (or even borderline) plot/backstory and making them into movies. this almost invariably turns into a poorly done re-hash of the game's story, with awful changes to make it "better for the screen".

if you take a game with a bad or non-existent storyline and make it into a movie, there's nowhere to go but up.

like... Adventures of Lolo: The Movie

Re: Movies based on video games.

If that was the case then Super Mario Bros. and Double Dragon would've been good. But I do agree with you about where they go wrong.

Re: Movies based on video games.

Castlevania (Unless they screw up the timeline.)

Metal Gear Solid (luckily, Kojima himself said the Uwe Boll would have nothing to do with the movie.)

But those are already being made into movies.

EDIT: those are good ones by the way.

Re: Movies based on video games.

Man the Mario movie was awesome. John Leguizamo is my hero.

Black could make a decent movie.
