ost_uid0="SSJKarma"]its never depending on the game my friend... always about the script itself !

WINGS COMMANDER is an old game that showed the way to 3D SPACE SHOOTING game !
it was awsome.
but the movie sucked so hard...
it wasn't the game who was bad, it was the movie and the game was awsomely made and was very very played... but the author that made the script just didn't took the game in consideration and simply made his own story based on the GENERAL UNIVERSE in which the heroes were going in... that plus the fact that he he did a completely new story made the movie way too different then the games, so it became a big pile of #### !

same happens to other movies as well !
RESIDENT EVIL for an example had the very same problem !
between redoing the story of the games, they decided to make a completely new story... not a bad idea, but they took the main city and used everything that was GAME REALTED... what happens to a movie like that... it becomes a little off place ! it cannot be put in the story line of the games.

it was basically not a RESIDENT EVIL, but more of another ZOMBIE movie like many others !

i must admit tho, aside of the story who was poopting hard... the movie was greatly made ![/quote]
Well I did like the movie it was pretty good. I was shocked to see what happen to the black guy (thought he make it) but the story did take place as in the game except they were under Racoon City. And in the end she comes out seeing the city bieng taking over by the zombies, then it ends.

ninja turtles owned all. i thought that double dragon was a bad movie. i used to like it when i was little but now im like *why did i like that fruity movie*

and street fighter.........i dont know what the hell they did to that movie. i mean how u gonna get a skinny old guy to play bison. ryu and ken didnt look like ryu and ken. and since when did ryu and ken sell weapons to people ??? (thank god the animated movie was a lot better)

mortal kombat 1 and 2. what more can i say. those movies kicked ass. the fighting was mad tight.

i didnt like the final fantasy movie that much. cause i didnt see any sword play in it.

and i though tomb raider was ok. could of been better.

i think it is a great idea to turn games into movies. but its just the dumb directors that always gotta #### up everything
:angry:

You can expect a second RE movie coming soon: Resident Evil Nemesis. I wonder how good that one will be.

SSJKarma · 04-18-2003, 10:29 PM

juggernaught: your completely out of line !

FINAL FANTASY: square did participate in this one, but they never had the chance of touching the script, all they were there for, was helping in making the grpahics of the movie, which those graphics were good ! but since the scenario was very very very stupid in itself... sorry but that movie was based of a very very promising game that was suppose to be very very very good, but all they sucessfully did, was throwing the game off balance with a very very very weak movie !

Dragonball the movie... yeah, but it was a FAN BASED movie...
the movie was very greatky done in itself... but since the character never had the creator as an helper on things, he just never got up to the challenge !

as of now... the REAL DBZ movie that is coming, is in developpment, but AKIRA TORIYAMA signed with 20th century fox who now have the rights to DBZ... what they are doing, is talking with AKIRA for the scenario and the movie itself !

so the movie will really be great if it continues that way !
why do i think so ?
because, has of now, every movie that was asking the creators to actually do the scenario and characters, have all been great sucess !

SPIDERMAN comes into mind... was done by the original author !
X-MEN (marvel did made some changes, cause the characters were like completely different, now they were half-way there)
TOMB RAIDER also is in that category... EIDOS comepletly had to do with the movie ! so the game was really found in the movie !

hope to see the second one that is coming...
TOMB RAIDER : THE CRADLE OF LIFE
angelina wasn't suppose to do it, but at the final moment, she decided to do it !

so basically, if the creators have to do with the movie, then and only then will it be exactly like it was suppose to be ! as for little story leaks, or characters leak... well, there are gonna have alot and will always be existing in every movies... so its not all about STORY and graphics, its all about the characters. the story is also important, but as long as the characters are fine and un touched, the story can be anything, as long as it is good !

ost_uid0="SSJKarma"]but i answered... all about love huh !
first all 12 games have SWORDS and MAGIC !
how come the movie don't ?
second: techniology is a good thing (have been done in FF before) but they always had MAGIC and SWORDS.
third: did i mention that the FF games had MAGIC AND SWORDS ?[/quote]
Hey, EVERY Final Fantasy has something different from the last! They started out with only using midevil weapons . . . but eventually worked their way into using midevil AND guns and stuff! We ALL know that they are BOUND to come out with one soon enough. With the movie, they were trying something new, as they do in all of the games.

But I do agree that it was dissapointing, compared to the games . . .

On Topic: I think Metroid would make a sweet movie

imported_p · 04-19-2003, 05:16 PM

well.. resident evil was a good film there will be number 2 and im hopig there is nemeis on the 2nd 1 its a bout a young cop called leon who goes to racoon city and when he drivers he finds a dead body ,before u know it zombies appear and then once he goes to this dark, alley he see this girl named clair and a zombie heading up to them ,and leon shoots it and it goes, down he drives in a poilce car with clair before u know it there's a zombie in it, and they scrash in to a truck and u have a handgun with u ,and u have to kill 7 zombies..., then after u walk in to, a gun shop seeing somebosy helding up a shotgun but he tells his hes ,not a zombie. then he lowers the weapon, and closes the door when u get the bullets before u know it zombies smash threw the window ,and starting eating him i suggest that u kill them and, go threw the door... u see zombies stuck in a fence knocking it! ,and once u get bullest u see a zombie coming... well i dont want to, make a big reply but o well tell me what u guys happens in the next bit!!!!!,

SSJKarma · 04-19-2003, 08:35 PM

well...
the movie has nothing to do with the games !
the one you just mentionned is the second game which is like a month after the first game !

the second is the continuity of the first game...
the third one has nothing to do with any of the first two games... RE: NEMESIS is a big TIME LEAK ! it is suppose to happen after the first one and before the second one... but at the end of the game, they completely vaporize the city with a nuclear bomb ! in a case like that, how come the second could happen ? so you gotta drop the third game if you want the story !

RE 4 : code veronica
is the suite of the second game...
as CLAIRE and LEON as joined forces with her brother CHRIST against UNBRELLA !
but as soon as claire infiltrated a certain facility, she is being brought to a prison where she have to survive the horrible EXPERIMENTs that unbrella were doing there, using PRISONNERS as test subjects, the when get out, christ, leon and claire find the HQ of umbrella and put an end to their evil plans !

RE 5 : SURVIVOR
this is more of a side quest about a guy that survived RACCON CITY while it was being destroyed by the ZOMBIEs... the guy escaped by helicopter, but the helicopter crashed landed in a nearby city, which proved to be infested like RACCOON city was ! proving that raccoon city wasn't the only city which was tested in !

see, sofar the story of the games goes like this...
first = prelude
second = hero's arrival
fourth = Final Battle

third = ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
fifth = SIDE STORY

the other RE that camed out are all ALTERNATE UNIVERSE now... they all basically change the stories in a way or the other and cannot be placed into the original plot !
