Every time

Memes'Its only problem is that they called it "blue", had they chosen a different name that had nothing to do with "blue the game" it would have been an awesome movie.'
Every single time.
I, Robot be like:
I, Robot at least had substantial aspects taken from (mostly) the last short story. IIRC the bulk of the overarching plot was based off of it.
Ugh foreal
Did anybody besides me like the old Silent Hill 1 film?
I mean you can't really expect modern audiences to understand the color blue, so of course it's just a reasonable reinterpretation into a different medium to make blue red like audiences are more accustomed to.
Basically every videogame movie is produced the same way: take an unrelated generic script, slap the game branding on it, ship it out.
See: Doom, Borderlands, Resident Evil, Street Fighter (Rip. Raul Julia), the super mario bros, Monster Hunter, Tekken, Prince of Persia, BloodRayne...
The first hitman movie was at least... like, kinda fun? Bad movie but we stan an ace king.
Let's not kid ourselves most games have a pretty generic story.
Half of those movies were directed by the same person, Uwe Boll.
I think he only happened to Bloodrayne?
he is, resident evil and monster hunter directed by paul ws anderson. there's tendency some directors bought game film right in bulk to cash in from the fans
Street Fighter wasn't just a generic script, it was a GI Joe script for a live action adaptation that hadn't gone through. I wanna say they only got the Street Fighter license in order to salvage the project.
Apparently the Mario Bros Movie actually had a good script that was much closer to source material, only for the directors to throw it out because they don't do fantasy, only cyberpunk.
Prince of Persia was at least partially written by Jordan Mechner, the creator of the series. Three other writers also got writing credits as well, but my understanding is that Mechner was involved throughout the process. Which is crazy because of just how bad it is compared to the Sands of Time.
Similarly, Wing Commander was written and directed by Chris Roberts, which makes me wonder how he could get so much wrong. Though in retrospect, I'm kind of surprised it came out at all.
I honestly enjoyed Super Mario Bros. Sure it only had like 10% in common with the games but seeing Toad being turned into a Goomba was hilarious. Street Fighter was also pretty great just for Raul Julia's bombastic acting alone. Seeing these creative liberties being taken can be infuriating at first but after the dust settles they can still be fun to watch if only to see how much of a trainwreck they can be.
Fuck anything by Uwe Boll though. He was an asshole and his movies were always painful to watch.
It might have been that the Mario movie was made by Illumination so I had almost no expectations going in but I did really enjoy it way more than I was expecting.
It's kinda weird how that company is definitely capable of producing a good movie and they've demonstrated that a few times but they kinda just choose not to
They're talking about the Super Mario Bros movie from 1993 with Bob Hoskins. It was a dark dystopian cyberpunk movie.
Oh whoops.
I love that move too tbh
Super Mario Bros is a high budget B-movie and it's pretty charming for that. I enjoyed much of it, but I also kept reflexively punching the friend who made me watch the damn thing so idk if that's a positive review or not. It's a bad movie, but bad movies can be fun. Plus, "Monkey!" is perhaps the greatest line ever penned.
I agree there's plenty of aspects in just about any movie to enjoy, especially for the meme value - I enjoy the hell out of James Marsters as King Piccolo in DragonBall: Evolution, he fucking nailed that role (I'm so funny). The movie is almost objectively trash though.
Never played resident evil, but I remember the first movie being great
Seconded that Hitman 2007 was a good movie.
I wouldn't pehaps go so far as to say it was good, but it was certainly very enjoyable and they paid enough attention to the source material that they got a ton of the little details right.
do not even get me started on the Sonic movies
They course-corrected well enough.
They missed me with that Monster Hunter movie, you could plainly see in the trailers it was just a US Military advertisement.
Wow, I completely missed that this movie exists and thought you were fucking with us. But no, they seriously did a soldier isekai into Monster Hunter world. How much coke was involved in making such a travesty?
Either too much or nowhere near enough.
Wait monster hunter the game series or monster hunter international the book series? the books focus on private contracting companies hunting vampires and what not for the government while trying to keep the public from knowing monsters are real, one of my favourite book series so I hope it's the latter
It's the video game series, unfortunately
Ok that doesn't make sense, it sucks because I bet will hurt the chances of the book series getting a movie if that one does poorly
it did do poorly
And then invariably you’ll have the people who come out of the woodwork to say “but it’s such a good movie and why were you expecting it to be just like the source material?” like that’s a good point…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
