    Default Video Game movies

    Pretend you're in a world where video game movies are usually really good.

    What would you want to see?

    Personally:
    F.E.A.R.
    Metroid
    Half Life

    Also, what should NEVER be a movie? And nothing like NES games that obvioulsy would make shitty movies, but something mainstream that would suck.

    Um, Legend of Zelda, duh.

    Also, Tekkin is a video game that should have never been made into a movie and should never be made into a movie again. That was the worst thing I have ever watched.

    Seconded.

    Let's see...also, another street fighter movie that doesn't suck (and no, the Legend of Chung Lee doesn't count as a movie).

    Uncharted and the two Resistance games would probably make a pretty good movie.

    Half Life would be ok. But it would be weird if they gave Gordan Freeman a voice. Same story with Legend of Zelda

    God of War should be good. But Bret Ratner is behind it so I have no hope for it at all.

    I'd like to see a Mario Bros. movie that revolved around the Mario 2. A Halo movie would also be pretty sweet.

    Warcraft 3 as an LOTR style epic badass trilogy. Done right, it would be hellawesome.

    Anyone seen the Dead Space movie? I downloaded the animated comics from the PSN store and they were good.

    Also standing in the Metal Gear Solid line. Would like to mention that I bought Mortal Kombat since I haven't seen it in ages. Hope the special effects are rediculous.

    I still live in hope of seeing Tetris: The Motion Picture.

    No-one should ever make a movie of Crazy Taxi, but I wouldn't be surprised if some douche like Jimmy Fallon did.

    before i get crucified for saying this, let me just say that Halo has AMAZING potential to be a fucking epic movie if done the right way.
    It's just such a good excuse for an epic story and tons and tons of ultraviolence and gore with a PG-13 rating.
    With the CG at the level it is, can anyone say that a Halo movie would be anything less then phenomenal?

    Also. Metroid.
    and FEAR, as was previously stated.
    If they flesh out the characters so that they DONT suck, it would be an amazing movie.

    Yes, everyone can because, let's face it, it would suck.

    Unless you literally just want your movies to have lot's of guns and nice shiny explosions in which case you shouldn't be allowed to use the word phenomenal in regards to cinema.

    On a serious note, someone could make a decent job out of a Grand Theft Auto film if it was done as a gritty, serious, semi-arthouse film about life on the streets.

    I disagree. It would be an great movie if it were centered around the actual storyline of the games with a healthy amount of guns and explosions thrown in to keep things interesting.

    Grand theft auto 4 would make a ridiculously good crime movie.
    Also we need more Mortal Kombat movies.

    Something like FarCry2. Even though there's probably a movie I don't know about that's similar to it.

    From what I understand. Garland's script was very very good, and it did not revolve around explosions but more about how characters around Master Chief perceived him.


    Anyway:

    Mass Effect will be a pretty cool movie.
    Half Life 2 would be pretty cool.

    Mass Effect's storyline was phenominal!

    rumors have always circulated about Tarantino doing a half-life movie.

    apparently he masturbates to the game

    I think Life Force (Gradius II) would make an awesome movie. Make it just balls-out action as the Vic Viper and Road British fight their way into the monster and kill it from the inside. The pilots could have witty banter, maybe even crash inside to get out of thier ships and make it more visually interesting.
