Not every video game has to go to the big screen but I think that hollywood should play the games and look at the stoyline before they start making the movie,but the 1994 Street Fighter movie was not good but Mortal Kombat follow its roots,but the Street Fighter movie remake is focus on Chun Li but I don’t know if this movie will work out in the box office,will see.
Tekken is another video game turned into film and it centers around Jin Kazuma but I was not very happy with the filmmakers following its trademark it should start from the beginning and if hollywood could be doing the Virtua Fighter movie with all characters from the games in one film.
I think that the live action Soul Calibur movie should be done by some Asian and Europian filmmakers and it should have the storyline based on the first game and it should have some storytelling as well.
Onimusha is still on hold but I think the screenwriters should rewrite the plot to get rid of the Big trouble in Little China storyline of the plot and do it all again to follow the story from the Onimusha Warlords game.
Darkstalkers could go into the big screen and I think Capcom should make some money on markets with Mortal Kombat movie makers Threshold Entertainment to work on the movies and TV series and video games,Threshold has lost Ninja Scroll to Warner Bros which i’m not happy with.
Thank you.

If you actually paid attention in the game and im assuming you did after he lost his wife and child he lost all morality and reason to life and become a constant user to fight off the pain.

its plain as day in the game.

Saying he never did drugs only when forced is a little odd thing to say because its not actually true.

it also brought a lot of controversy to the game when it was first released some people argued the game was only about killing and drugs and in a way it is though their is a story the game was made to be extremely faced passed to get you into the game having fun and it worked.

That last part is just my 2Cent’s

I’m shocked that no one has learned this and that somehow people find ways to become excited about the next ‘this is going to be the one’ video game movie. I applaud their sense of optimism though and I relate to it, because the exact same thing happens to me in reverse when I get into the newest game that I’ve been told has a gripping narrative. I’ve done this with Halo, I’ve done this with Gears of War, I’ve done this with Grand Theft Auto IV. Don’t get me wrong, Gears of War and Grand Theft Auto IV were amazingly fun, immersive, and gorgeous…but not for one second did I see anything I’ve never seen before. Or was it something I would just like to watch. No character is so compelling that I would rather be watching the thing instead of playing it.

“Oh wow, I went to do a deal with Russian arms dealer and it went bad and I shot a bunch of people.” This is Steven Seagal, straight-to-DVD happenings. Gripping is not the word I would ever use.

Oh wow, ‘Space Marines’. Oh wow, slutty Bronx secretaries. Fascinating. The list of character cliches goes on and on, and when these characters are created by committee as opposed to a talented actor that brings along their own thoughts and quirks to the framework you get from a movie script, you get a character assembled from the collective cliched memories of dozens of people.

Once again, these games are often fun as hell and are amazing technical achievements to say the least. But until a video game character is strong and real enough to become as iconic a character as Hannibal Lecter, Vito Corleone, Jack Torrance from The Shining, Vincent Vega, or even The Joker from this summer, movies from video games will be the disappointments they have been for what…20 years now.

To be honest, your bash against movies was pritty lame and uncalled for. Not seen max payne, was never into the game. But I liked the tomb raider movies, pritty solid old school action movies. Never liked the tomb raider games though heh. Liked mortal kombats, good bit of harmless kung fu action.

Street fighter and mario sucked though I agree.

All in all not that constructive of a review.

I only come here for the news anyway :)

It’s disappointing to hear that so many movies with so much potential in the last few weeks have been disappointing. This one is especially tough to hear about because the games are so near and dear to my heart.

We can keep hoping, though! Silent Hill came the closest… now we just need someone to take it all the way.

The key, as the comic filmmakers have discovered, is to just make a good movie… let the source material follow.

You KNOW it!
