:ph34r: i think ther should be more video game movies being made so that i can critasize them!

pluse havent been here for a while so hi to you

I think there should be better video-game movies.

Somebody, lock Uwe Bowel in a cage so he can't rape the game-movie industry anymore.

Why bother with the indirect method?

Just get a gun, and- (Spider is hauled off by the FBI)

No, death is not enought for that man. He must suffer... long.

I think there indeed should be more, but only if they make it good. I haven't touched Doom 3 since I saw the movie.

And if the Halo movie blows, I'm gonna get my fellow villagers to take their torches and pitchforks and go hunting.

Speaking of Uwe and Death, isnt he the one who's making the Postal movie?

Yep, and according to Wikipedia, it's coming out in 2007.

Donno about this whole video game-movie thing. Tomb raider (the movie) was about this chick having to get all the pieces of a clock to save whoever.
(according to what I read). Now, imagine the Blockbuster of the New Millennium: Donkey Kong the Movie: In order to save his gal from certain doom, our hero must jump 160 barrels and climb 4 ladders. Can he do it?
It just seems a little bit too insane even for my taste. Or Mario Brothers the Movie: Death awaits all who cannot pick up their balloons... Nah, I don't think so.

As long as it stops them from making games after movies, i'm all for it.

At least they made ONE good decision... They replaced Vin Diesel in the Hitman movie with Jason Statham... the best choice for the role... and I heard that movie is NOT directed by Uwe "I kill games" Boll...

GOD DAMN I hate these idiots. STOP MAKING MOVIES OUT OF GAMES!! It doesn't work!! At all! I can think of one exception - the Mario Bros. film. That was cool. Tomb Raider films - plotless action crap. Resident Evil - just crap, crap, crap. Silent Hill - ARGH. Do I have to mention the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat movies? Bah. Hollywood is full of talentless morons who don't have a single original thought in their tiny brains. No talent? Crap writer? Come to Hollywood, be an executive producer and rip off a video game concept. They absolutely MUST boil in acid. DIE.

One problem, I think, with bringing a game to film, is that games are way too often plotless (really). Hitman? Kill your biological fathers, and an occational guard... that pretty much sums that one up. Resident Evil never had a plot to mention, Tomb Raider I never did play, MoHAA? Hello? Space Invaders or Pac Man have as much plot as the majority of games around. It just doesn't make a good screenplay. The only exeption I can think of, is some RPGs, since the story/plot plays an inherent important part in those games, but even there not all can be "transcribed".

Another problem is the most obvious one: Too many producers/investors insist on films that focus on "the cool stuff that kids like", and kids "don't like plots, but big weapons and lots of action" according to the gospel of Marketing & Research. Look what happened to LotR. Even if that was a book and not a game. Ok, P.J. did a great job, I guess, but it was too much focus on stunts, battle, out of place romance (the regular Hollywood tripe) instead of the mood changes and subtle hints that were in the books.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mighty Midget @ Nov 29 2006, 12:47 AM) [snapback]269150[/snapback]</div>I agree with the romance.

Actually (and sadly) Mighty Midget, I remeber that there actually was a Mario Brothers movie made back in the early 90's. I can't remeber what the name was (if it was anything other that "The Mario Bros." I mean ;) )
For some reason I can even remeber that Roxette spat out the theme song which became a minor hit in Australia.

God I hate my memory sometimes :)

There WAS a Mario Bros film? Oh dear.... But, but, but... how, and why?

There was.
I saw it.
It was crap.

Yeah, it didnt had lots of Mario thingies.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tervez @ Nov 28 2006, 01:08 PM) [snapback]269069[/snapback]</div>yep...... and ill be the judge of that.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mighty Midget @ Nov 29 2006, 12:47 AM) [snapback]269150[/snapback]</div>
Yes but wate there sure was alot of PacMan toons eh

You can read all about the abomination that was Super Mario Bros. - The Movie, here, if you feel so inclined....


...What always amazes me is how Dennis Hopper, who's such a brilliant actor, always ends up in such abysmal films. Apocolypse Now this ain't.

Personally, I'm absolutely, totally and utterly excited for the Hollywood film-version of Pong! It will have everything, love, hate, revenge and redemption - all told through the wacky adventures of a single bikini-clad pinging ball in New York city ;)

Dennis Hopper can do what he likes, 'cause he was in Space Truckers. After that, there's just no need to try anymore. As for the Mario Bros. film, I saw it when I was a kid and liked it. Even my mother liked it, the crazy old bat. Bob Hoskins rules.

Dennis Hopper could do anything he wanted to, until he showed up in Waterworld... heartbreaking, 'though I forgave him after he popped up on the most recent Gorillaz album on that "Fire coming out of a monkey's head" song.

Why didnt' they just use Bateson? He did his job OK in the game.
