Advent Children was the ish!

I think DOA was the best game to movie possible for that game. The story line sucks hard and the original point of the whole thing was to make bouncy boobs. I purchased the movie and watch it every once in a while when I feel I need a laugh, and an example of how not to make a movie. Plus, Jan Lee and Brad Wong lost the first round? Whatev!

Making exact story renditions can be good in some cases. For example, FFVII: Fans have been crying for a re-make of the game for YEARS, nothing new, just the same exact game with better graphics and more video. A series-style movie, like Dune, would do very well with FFVII. (CGI preferrably)

Ha, I bought House of the Dead for the same reason as DOA!

What I would like to see if it could be done properly is Parasite Eve, that game was great, with a solid story and just kind of fell off the charts.

As for book to movie, Fight Club, very few changes. Although the changes that were made did make the book better IMO, the movie was nearly a direct narration by Edward Norton.
 
That is an extra good example because it wasn't really presented like a book to movie adaptation. I actually didn't know their was a Fight Club book until after I saw the movie.

I personally think that the comparison will almost always hurt any form of movie adaptation. The only time it might help is when you get a cheap laugh.

i forget, i think i found it off either digg or 4chan. I love that video on youtube where the guy talks about Jackie's worst injuries tho.

Jackie Chan is the F'n man.
 
Yeah some of his stunts are painful to watch. Also i can't believe not ONE person has voted yep! (i love em)
 
RE: Degeneration looks alright; the voice-acting seems iffy though.

I don't think I can really vote since I don't watch too many films that are video game -> movie besides the super mainstream ones. On a somewhat related topic, Steven Spielberg may be directing a live action Ghost In The Shell.

now, with all these bad movies aside, if there is one game i MUST have hope for, it HAS to be the Warcraft movie. it seems like they are actually putting time into it, and not rushing it in any way possible. Though it is too early to determine anything yet, i have a good feeling that this may make the video game to movie jump. Specially since Blizzard has a humongous fanbase off of WoW, I'm pretty sure they won't try to fuck this one up. They even mentioned this on their Show panels at blizzcon n stuff, that they are sticking to the main storyline. Being how diverse the warcraft storyline is, i have faith in it.
No, i don't play WoW or anything. but those countless months i've played on ladder for wc3 were fun times. It was the shiet climbing that ladder.

I keep wondering what the opening of the movie is going to be like. When I saw hellboy two the golden army I started to imagine such a backstory rendition at the start of the world of warcraft movie. It would probably take about... 40 minutes? Maybe twice that.
 
From what I remember, MK2 Blew more cock than a whore on christmas eve... The first one was a god sent compared to that POS..
As for the DOA movie... you went to see it because you wanted to see a lot of tits and ass..lol like a cheap ass porno...
 
eh mk2 sucked so bad it made the 1st movie look like a...movie
although i will say i actually liked the 1st resident evil movie but it all went down quicker than paris hilton
about advent children i thought it was decent but not good
is it true that they are working on a live action evangelion?
 
Evil Dead was by far the best movie ever made based on a video game. :D

FF:AC
Resident Evil Degeniraition

Over all,I think all movies based on video games should be made in CG.
If they want to make them "live action",then I say get the casting crew from japan and the original story from the creators themselves...cause Hollywood can't follow simple story lines for shit!
 
I think the people at Hollywood don't want a Movie to be 100% like the game...

My brother want to see the new Punisher..he was Punisher for Halloween, the movie sucks
 
Oh I know that Hollywood doesn't want to follow the story line 100%.
The Dragonball movie is a perfect example...I'm not even going to touch that subject,it just pisses me off. >_<
 
this just goes with my philosephy that games based on movies generally suck. not much depth, glitchy graphics, and boring over all. the spiderman games were the only decent ones i thought. The only great game the was first based on a movie was the matrix: path of neo. i still play that every once in awhile.

and it works vice versa. movies based on games do not have the reputation of being anything spectacular. the new street fighter movie for example looks horrible. Mortal Kombat movies were cheesy and low budget.

I just dont think games and movies should mix unless all the time and effort in making the movie, goes into making the game. and vice versa.
