Too many game movies

[Lise]

Honestly. There are just too many movies made from gameplay. Enough already!! How about some movies with substance for a change?? Here's a look of what's coming and that's just the start.

  Zelda (looks so amateurish!)

Hollywood never has been about actual stories. More like 'what can make us the most money'. Hence the sequels after sequels and game movies.

As long as Uwe Boll doesn't direct any more game movies, they won't turn out *horrible*  

[Sportsdude]

isn't Halo being made into a movie?  

[purelife]

One could say that there are too many comic-related movies (Marvel)

[Sportsdude]

yeah comic book movies are in vogue now. Probably because of the computer graphics technology.

     Yes. It's unfortunate they're not casting women as Master Chief otherwise I'd be soooo damn perfect for the part. Halo is set to go on screen in 2009.

I heard Peter Jackson was doing the film then he backed out.  

[Lise]

He should back out. I don't think it's in him. He did well for LOTR but totally sucked at King Kong or whatever the heck he calls it.

  I'm for Bryan Singer (X-Men) or Zack Snyder (300) to direct it. I doubt it'll be any good though. Movies based on games are usually a big let-down.

[Sportsdude]

Speaking of video game movies. They're making a Sims movie.

  Ah a movie I saw, finally !

  Tell me more Lise, I'm curious. Why he sucks in KK ?

[Lise]

Well, for one thing I don't understand the ending part. Why build up the characters like Jack Black and Adrien Brody only to have them almost omitted towards the end? I know Kong is the main character but I just feel... 'cheated' that the characters did not come to a final conclusion. Y'know what I mean?

  Does the writer get the girl in the end? Does she feel remorse, where will she go from there? I like the special effects and everything but overall, the movie focuses too much on that rather than the story line itself.

[Michel]

Ah ok, I don't remember well I must say. I like some parts only because he really reproduced very well the original parts of the 1933 original. Other than that, everything that he add was just plainly uninteresting for me.

  Oh, and the "love" story was quite anormaly heavy I must say...

Was Silent Hill any good? My friend said it was but I don't trust his taste in movies.
