Movies out of games.... The next nightmare ?

I can understand the games made out of movies... But after watching Doom the Movie. I have sweared not to watch a game movie again.
Any opinions ? OX

Lol. Your reaction is funny.
I think it's possible to make good movies after a video game. For exemple a movie from a game like silent hill could be cool. Or Something from Metal Gear Solid. But I think the most important thing is the scenario. A movie from a game has to have a different scenario from the game, otherwise it's useless. For example, Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is very good. And I guess that if Kojima made a movie instead of a game for the last episode of Metal Gear, it would probably be great. On the contrary, there is not really something to tell in doom... it does not need a scenario. :)

Yeah, FF is very good. But did you hear about Uwe Boll? He makes movies out of from games, and Boll's movie all TERRIBLE! Did you see Alone in the dark? In the start, there are a car-chasing scene, and somewhere in the middel of the film, a sex scene?! And that's not all^^""". Boll can spoil every game. And he would like to make warcraft..Brrrrrr.

:o Oooh !
I'd heard that Alone in the dark could be adapted in movie but I didn't know it was already done. Warcraft could be good too. It could be a bit like the Lord of the Ring, but more brutal, more savage, more Warcraft ! ^_^'

Concerning Final Fantasy, I'm sure that Square could make a great anime (in CG for example) of Final Fantasy with an original adventure. They've already made an anime of FFV (not really interesting) and FFVII (Last Order), but an original scenario could be great. I guess a movie is too short for a Final fantsy scenario, that's why I thought to an anime :nya:

To come back to the adaptation of video games, I think the most horrible adaptation ever done was Mario. I have not seen it. What about you?

i herd that they are making a move out of D.O.A. and halo. i hope that D.O.A. will be good. i love that game. :) and if they make videogames into videos it shold be old school like sonic in the best 3D ther is out ther or Donkey kong, or mega man. and meny others

@Sheepthesheep
Yes, Alone In The Dark was adapted to a movie in early 2005 but acording to the critics ive read is one of the worst movies ever made jajajaj (sorry if you were waiting for it)
And the Mario adaptation was really crappy, but i think is good compared with the Street Fighter's.

@animefreak223
I've already seen the trailer of DOA, and... are you sure you want to know?
I think its going to dethrone all the crappyest game movies, seriously.

^_^' Mwahahaha !
Street Fighter! XD So funny ! This movie is a masterpiece: it 's awful XD!
When I saw it I was bursting out laughing from the beginning to the end... ^_^'
The french voices are really bad too. And Blanka ! Anyway...

Concerning the Mario adapation, I think that the idea which sums up the movie is that it is ..... a live... with real actors instead of an animation movie. Imagine a guy with a fake mustache who has the power to jump very high... etc etc :nya: Just to think of it makes me laugh....

^_^'Ha ha sorry sorry....

I luved the way Kylie Minogue acted :)

Don't give up so fast guys, eventually there will be a good movie based in a video game.

Curiosity will always drive us to watch the next movie. But unfortunately the curse keeps going. Movies from videogames suck! ^_^'

sorry to dissapoint u animefreak223, but from the trailer for DOA, it sucked...bad. it prob going to be worse than doom. bring on resident evil 3

The chance of being worse than Doom freaks me out.

I think movies out of games have untaped protential if the creators have creative control from the get go.

Yes, thats true The DOA movie is a complete crap. As DOA fan, that movie hurt bad.

But Resident Evil II isn`t was too bad, I like that movie

what really sux is that i heard that vin diesel is set to play agent 47, not that hes not a good actor, but come on. thats just a horrible mistake

I liked the moovie Resident Evil, but I didn't like Street fighter.
I was rolling my eyes every second untill i couldn't watched it any more x_x >_< :(

Well... about movies made from game pattern...

I guess it depends on how the producers act when creating the storybook. If u take a piece from a game and create a movie from it - its fine. FF7 is a good example - it creates the unwritten timespan between Sephiroth's death and the cleansing of the world. Unwritten pieces are good, only if things that happened appear unchanged or get to see old-known things or persons.
Worst-case Movie-Adaptions like Super Mario Brothers and Alone in the Dark are from that sort, in which the persons acting in the movie take the role of some ingame heroes in world totally different or in a way far from the "world" of the original game. Super Mario was like a bad horror-movie, dark and ugly. Alone in the dark... well sex-scenes and blood-splattering... nothing from the original fear and terror... really bad.
Movies that were ok... hmmm Tomb Raider and Resident Evil f.e.
Tomb Raider... original story - not really - but it was like there were just additional adventures between the the game-parts. Resident evil... not really what I expected from it. I disliked the actors and the changed characteristics from the game-chars. Especially Jill in part 2 - a smoking biatch... come on... the rest was ok... but the name Resident evil didnt match for the original game.
Well and for Warcraft... World of Warcraft mixed up everything in the original universe. A movie cannot really get it worse. Well actors etc... dont want to thin kabout that. But its like with the Manga... nothing to do with Warcraft...
Well this is like brain-storming...
Think about Mortal Combat, Street Fighter, Dungeons and Dragons--- collect more

ff7ac was really good, it's the best so far. and resident evil wasn't that bad...

Yup somebody mentioned Uwe Boll. This man is the devil. He takes games that were pretty popular and turns them into crappy, low-budget movies. I mistakenly watched his "House of the Dead" movie....didn't even watch it halfway through. Resident Evil wasn't THAT bad imo.

OH GOD yes Uwe Boll is the devil! Avoid all his films like the plague. While geniuses like Terry Gilliam (director of Fear of Loathing in Las Vegas and the Brother's Grimm) can't find any one willing to produce his films, retards like Uwe Boll get to churn out crap like Alone in the Dark and his most recent anal leakage, BloodRayne. He actually managed to find some good actors to be in BloodRayne but the dialogue and directing made the film barely watchable.
