Is there any hope of a video game movie ever giving us something worthwhile?
>>385943697
I liked Super Mario Bros, Warcraft and the P3 Movies
>>385943697
currently in development there are
the MGS movie (live action this time)
The Tetris trilogy (no really)
Pixels is good.
>>385943697
What, you haven't watched Mortal Kombat and Ace Attorney or something?
>>385943697
The funny thing about Pixels is that it wasn't any worse than other Adam Sandler movies but because it was about muh games people got even more upset.
Mortal Kombat
Street Fighter
Postal
Ace Attorney
Super Mario Bros
House of the Dead 2
We've had some pretty decent video game films from great to campy fun.

>ywn be a 5 piece tetris block that can't fit in anywhere who goes on a quest to fix itself then realize there's nothing wrong with you then come back to complete the puzzle that is actually wired to a bomb in the real world and save the world...or something
>>385946291
You surely made this up.......right?
>>385943697
I think that movie was not bad. For an Adam Sandler movie, I would even go as far as saying that it was fun.
Yes
That one Disney made is good but I can't remember the name of it. Does anyone remember what it was called?
>>385946291
Where did you steal that from anon?
>>385946758
Wreck-it Ralph I think
>>385943697
Seeing as how this entire medium exists is the gameplay, no. Closest you'll get is something like Edge of Tomorrow.
Edge of Tomorrow and Matrix.
GET READY
>>385946749
This movie was unironically funny i don't understand all the hate it gets. I definitely watched 80% RT comedies that were less funny AND more tasteless.

First Resident Evil movie was pretty good. Too bad they went full-retard after that.
>>385943697

>>385948029
just like the game series
>>385946749
it's hard to fuck up something as insane as Postal with a director like Uwe Boll
>>385948029
This awful coverart is incredibly nostalgic for me.
>>385947481
People simply didn't get the crass humor.
I remember how some critics were completely outraged at the Little Germany amusement park shooting since it showed children getting shot.
Thing is, the scene is completely ridiculous because despite hundreds of people being there ONLY the kids (and the disabled guy) seemed to get hit and the hypocritical stuff by the reporter afterwards is pretty much the icing on the cake.
There's a Kamen Rider movie where Pac-Man is the villain.

Haha! The hack will never see his dream realized.We all know he would fuck it up anyway.

the director is the same one from Kang: Skull island and he's a major dweeb about MGS and video games in general
expect another Warcraft

>>385943697
They made a movie of this. There's also the Phoenix Wright one.
>>385950827
That movie was barely vidya. I went in expecting Roger Rabbit with vidya only to find out that the licensed characters are only there for the first 20 minutes. They could've at least have them all show up at the end to help fight the shadowbugs.
>>385945539
You can do a moving featuring tetris like how it helped a family connect or some shit otherwise what could it even be about.

God, I unironically love this movie.
>whole section of scenes where children hooked up with blood squibs are shot
>they take full seconds after the squibs explode before they are told to pretend to die and lie down
>they just can't stop smiling and Uwe Boll didn't even bother trying to reshoot
In an interview after the films release, someone asked Uwe Boll why they did that scene and what was the idea behind it.
"They told me I couldn't shoot the children, so I shot ALL the children."
>>385943697
Haven't you seen Street Fighter the movie?
"For me, it was Tuesday" is an iconic line as "I am your father".
It's literally The Godfather of movies.
>>385950827

Police Academy 7 is legitimately the best Tetris movie that's been produced or will ever be produced by the sheer virtue of having both Christopher Lee and Ron Perlman in it.

Edge of Tomorrow isn't even remotely game related at all what is wrong with you?
>>385951092
Roger Rabbit's plot was centered around new characters, too, though. Granted, you had a few scenes of mixed interaction -- Betty Boop as the waitress at the Ink & Paint Club, Daffy and Donald onstage, Dumbo makes an appearance outside R.K's window, and the group gathering at the finale... to name some, anyhow.
While WiR didn't throw recognizable characters into the mix every 2 minutes, I think it helped that the movie wasn't simply "HEY! LUIGI WALKS BY IN THIS SCENE! DID YOU NOTICE GUILE IN THE LAST ONE? KNUCKLES WILL BE HERE LATER!"

Not him, but the premise of the movie is literally a video game mechanic: Reload at death. You die, you respawn at the last save. You realize you have to do things differently if you want to succeed. Get further than last time. Die again. Repeat.
>>385953090
Just like this thread.
>>385946185
There was a postal movie? Holy shit
>>385943697
No, because people who just want money are making them. You get a fan of the game to make it, and you'll finally get a good video game movie.
But we won't get one, because nobody will hire a fanboy.
>>385953107
The way it was advertized just felt really dishonest. Look at this poster. I'm not saying they needed to show up every 5 seconds, but not having them show up in the finale was a huge missed opportunity. The fact that the sequel is ditching vidya for social media shit pisses me off even more.

Uwe Boll, which is hit or miss, but had some decent scenes from what people showcased.
>>385952070
Well yeah, all 3 songs from Tetris are actual music. I learned the "Tetris C" music on cello when I was in 8th grade, it's just a Bach minuet.
>>385954625
Literally only cameos and references
>>385946117
HEY GUYS, SHADOWS OF THE COLOSSUS IS LIKE THE TOWERS COMING DOWN ON 9/11!
Seriously though, surprisingly good movie.
>>385954808
>Uwe Boll, which is hit or miss

It's literally the ONLY thing Dave Foley's ever been in that I absolutely fucking hated.
>>385946117
Adam Sandler movies aren't all bad. Some of the older ones are decent. Happy Gilmore is a modern masterpiece.
>>385944220
>P3 Movies
I wouldn't really count Anime adaptions.
>>385954625
How else would they do it? The setting of the movie takes place in an arcade and you're following the story of a dated arcade game villain. They need to advertise that on the poster.
If they just threw Ralph and Vanellope there, it wouldn't have said anything about the movie and nobody would know who they are. If they made all original characters, nobody would know they were from classic arcade vidya.
Just glancing at that poster and seeing Sonic, Eggman, Pacman, etc. your brain automatically clicks "Oh, this is about video games"
>>385954625
The only thing that gave me a chuckle was the MGS exclamation mark, mainly because it caught me completely unaware.

Ready for more "dude references!" For normies?
>>385946291
Pixar really went to shit thanks to Disney, they're like the Adam Sandlers of animated movies now

That shit has been referenced by normalfags for years before it came out.I liked 8 Crazy Nights.

Apparently it's more like the battleship movie.
>>385945539
>The MGS is being produced by Sony.
It was dead before it begin.
>>385947307
This is fake, just like the rumored "fidget spinner movie".
However this is because they're ACTUALLY considering the Slenderman Movie.
No that one ISN'T fake.
>>385956361
YOU CAN TAKE A SHORTCUT
>>385953075
What an abortion of a film.
>>385954625
To be honest I would have put even more characters because that poster looks really swallow, there's a bunch of vidya characters just awkardly stading in the background, they're all stiff and just there aside Zangief. It really lacks impact and despite the decent number of cameos it looks empty.
A good alternative would have been having a poster with Ralph and the manlet in pixel graphics confronting each other.
While looking better him, that would lack the "hey guys come to see the cameos and pay us" part, which is very important for business.
If Hollywood makes a good video game movie, they advertise to their audience that video games can be an alternative source for narrative and thematic art. They would be advertising their own competitors if Assassin's Creed was actually any good. The continued embarrassment of video game films helps play a role in the persisting notion among most normies that video games cannot be art.
The only real chance we had a good video game movie so far was Final Fantasy, but that sucked too. I say that was the only real chance because it is my belief that we will not get a good video game movie until some game studio steps up and opens their own production studio a la Marvel. I guess maybe Ratchet and Clank may have been another real chance as well, but I'm not familiar with how involved Insomniac was in the film and I heard it was quite shit.
>>385945539
And the Tetris trilogy is being developed by the guy behind Foodfight. No joke
>>385946749
IMO cut out like 30 minutes and it's a solid movie.

That's worse than calling it Edge of Tomorrow.

This and Punch Drunk Love are actually really good movies.
And from what I heard, the newest movie he starred in with Ben Stiller, got a standing ovation at Cannes.

>>385943697
Scott Pilgrim was pretty good, but the video games were just used for aesthetic and style really, they didn't have much bearing on the plot.
>>385943697
Yeah, Kamen Rider EX-Aid the movie with doctor Pacman.

it was okay by movie-game standards.
Lot of awkward parts and rushing due to trying to pack a whole game into an hourish movie though.
>>385960715
Ratchet and Clank was literally the worst movie I ever paid money to see. It's on that painful sub-Dreamworks level of CGI shit that should have gone straight to DVD like Space Chimps or something.
>>385943697
something way better than vidya is coming out soonish
