All the best movies are based on books. Prove me wrong.

But I agree with you.

Problem Child 2 is an original script.

Shawshank Redemption

>Jaws
>Blade Runner

I agree, I've thought this was true for a long time

>screenwriters Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North wrote the script based largely on the biographies Patton: Ordeal and Triumph by Ladislas Farago and A Soldier's Story by General of the Army Omar Bradley.

Once Upon A Time In America wasn't based on a book and it's better than any book based movie, including and particularly The Godfather movies.
Also, Elizabeth McGovern is my cheekfu.

>Movies based on books are kino
>Movies based on Video Games are dog shit
Hehe

>story driven medium is better adapted to another story driven medium than a play driven medium
wow, who knows why that always happen?

>>79673924
Almost every video game has a generic plot that could easily be adapted nowadays, stop parroting things that don't make sense. I suppose movies adapted from books are shit because you don't get the feeling of sitting down, reading a good book

>>79673890
it's a fact that 99% of video game writers are talentless hacks

>>79673999
>generic plot
>good movie
The plots are generic because they are just a framing device for action

>>79673999
if a video game movie managed to fil all the time normally spent playing with compelling action scenes it could be great. like john wick or mad max style, just enough story and an interesting setting to motivate 90 mins of action. makes me wonder why that has never once happened

>>79674039
This.

The best storytelling medium is books, followed by film, the stage, television, campfire stories, gossip, and below every other medium lies videogames.

>>79674149
Movies can have generic plots and still be good, original doesn't always mean good. There's a lot more to why video game movies are shit than just the writing

>>79673590
I'm gonna make him an offer.

A masterpiece of Polish cinema

The Hobbit Trilogy is fucking awful

Videogame writers cripple their work by limiting it to the conventions of film just like how filmmakers cripple their work by limiting it to the conventions of theatre.

The only good movie-like game I can think of is the Metal Gear Solid series, since it balances all the HEAVY cinematic moments with pure gameplay and the pacing isn't shit. They're basically ~14 hour stories as opposed to Uncharted, The Last of Us, or anything by David Cage where they stretch a boring 1.5/2 hour narrative over 10-15 hours.

Why is this movie so hated?

>>79673590
lotr and the shining prove you wrong

American films***

>>79673871
The Hoods

Legacy of Kain
Planescape Torment

is 2001 based on a book ?

>>79681294
Yes,actually
So is Barry Lyndon and Stalker by Tarkovsky

>>79681294
>>79681734
I thought they were created at the same time.

>>79681944
Yes and no. 2001 is based on a short story, but the book 2001 was made at the same time as the movie.

>>79681294
It was not.

2001 was co-created as a book and movie

>>79682013
>inspired by Clarke's short story "The Sentinel"
