Is it a good idea to turn games into movies? - Opinions?

What do you think? They mentioned plans to turn Metroid into a movie and possibly even Splinter Cell.

Depends on the game I think....Those 2 might be decent..

SSJKarma · 04-11-2003, 03:42 PM

doesn't matter what kind of game !
the AUTHOR and PRODUCER matters !

example:
TOMB RAIDER = pretty damn true to the series... (except some story leaks, example, the father's death)
MORTAL KOMBAT = pretty damn true to the series... (again, story leaks here and there)

can't really remember others that were good... just can't remember a lot !
every other games that i saw...

WINGS COMMANDER
DOUBLE DRAGON
STREET FIGHTER
MORTAL KOMBAT 2 : THE ANNIHILATION
FINAL FANTASY : THE SPIRIT WITHIN

and some others... the author just didn't have the same vision as the author who made the game !
see... it all depends on who made the movie... as the author the same vision as the one who created the game ?

example... AKIRA TORIYAMA is helping in making his ANIME DBZ into a REAL ACTION MOVIE ! so yeah, it can be real good... plus, its 20th century fox who produce it... so big budjets !

really, it all depends on all those critters !

EDIT:
forgot to mention... DRIVER has also been bought by some company to make the LIVE ACTION MOVIE !

Like karma says it depends on what the game is...If it is a game that will reqiure alot of specal effects it might not be very good.

as long as they dont ruin the action and storyline[STREET FIGHTER], its all good. but tomb raider:

-only lara and the butler[Abe McGilicuddy, its in #3 guide] lived together.
-she had her own training courses built, indoors and out, not sum gaint room with a robot trying to kill her.[it was pretty hot though]
-there should of been a little more action.
-it could of been made with the storyline from tomb raider 1.
-some info on her history were false:
-father name: lord hemsherly croft[ sumthing like that, its in the manual.]
-he wasnt killed as how the movie described.

but if they are making a second one, i wonder if von croy will be in it.

TOMB RAIDER was pretty damn true to the games SNAKE !
my friend is a complete fan of the series...
he has 1 thru 5 and completed them all...
too bad he cannot have the sixth one since he doesn't have a PS2.
but anyway... he said that it was pretty damn good and true to the games !

but like i said...
STORY LEAKS happen in all movies...
his father is the worst...
the hotel thing was true, her life was true, her training IS true... in game it only show basics, normal that in a movie we see better things then basics. don't you think ? the kind of trap and the kind of mystery was true to the games...

OVERALL... TOMB RAIDER was one of the few movies that was actually up to the quality of the games !

really... it all depends on who is making the movies anyway... if they share the same visions as the original creator... then and only then the movie will be good !

for my part, too much games were sold just for the fun of making money... by bothching the movie, they ruined the games reputation !

even the resident evil movie was horrible !
the zombies, lickers were greatly made, true and exactly like the series... but story wise, it was plain horrible !

Super Mario brothers and Final Fantasy had nothing to do with the game at ALL!
