No they're not impossible at all.

They studios just try and give them a little more appeal to the mainstream than to just "le ebin gaymers" They also have no faith in the projects so they hire bargain basement directors, writers and for the most part actors (an occasional big name among vidya movies)

The end result is a rushed studio meddled in mess thats generic as fuck and bearing little resemblance to the video game it was based upon.

Why would they need knowledge of video games to determine the quality of a movie?
>>
>>68878182
Because directors don't understand the source material. That's why I'm worried about Warcraft. If Blizzard has any involvement in the movie then it'll be decent. Warcraft done right will be the best video game movie but I'm just worried that they aren't going to know the source material

But it is. Marvel is also Disney's property and we all know the already exposed bias towards Civil War, while BvS was destroyed by critics even if it was a better movie. Only shills won't tell the evidence, that Disney owns critics and probably is paying people across the internet to spread false rumors about their rivals like DC.
>>
>>68878277

This. Mascot platformers will never translate well into anything unless they just use it as a jumping off point (like the Mario Bros movie, also that pun was unintentional).

Also this movie is about fifteen years too late and is marketed to tiny babies, as in babies that can barely, if at all, speak. It was destined to fail.

Actually Blizzard and Chris Metzen need to stay the fuck away and let Duncan work his magic. I honestly think Assassin's Creed will end up being decent cause there is a lot of talent behind it.

Thought that was so cool when it came out. Has aged horribly in the looks department. Still has a great atmosphere and art design.

How did they manage to fuck this movie up so badly?
I remember being hyped at the teaser then quickly losing interest.
>>
>>68879140
>Blizzard and Chris Metzen need to stay the fuck away and let Duncan work his magic

Like I said the director needs to know the backstory and the lore to make a great movie. Us Warcraft fans are going be be looking out for that stuff. Especially since Warcraft has a very extensive lore behind it. Plus look at Blizzard's game trailers, they are amazing, like 10x better than most of the stuff the movie industry pumps out.

Also I'm very skeptical about the Assassin's Creed movie, I have a bad feeling about it. If it's set back in Altair's time then it will be cool, other than that I just don't see it working

Well its not like assassin's creed is that hardcore of a rated M game like say the Witcher. I honestly don't even remember nudity or hard swearing just violence which as we all know is fine in pg-13 because we have fucked up morals. Though I will admit black flag was the last assassin's creed I played so it could have change.

>>68879312
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Duncan a massive warcraft fan?

>>68879444
While the first one isn't perfect it's actually better written than the remake. It's also more mature with its sarcastic humour.

I hope so, I mean don't get me wrong the movie looks good and since I'm a fan myself I'm going to see it regardless whether it is good or not. I just want them to make a great movie. I mean I jizzed a little from the VR trailer they had where you're on a gryphon flying over Stormwind.

You're not wrong. So far, it just seems that people haven't been interested in trying to adapt any really big important video games. We can blame the SMB movie, I guess, and also Nintendo for being scared shitless of ever trying anything like that again despite holding the IP for the games most ripe for adaptation like Zelda or Metroid.

I'm not saying that Nintendo is the only video game company that makes shit worth adapting, but maybe ten or so years ago if they had decided to give Zelda a movie or tried to give SMB another shot, chances are we'd be swimming in video game adaptations right now.

They could have gotten the ball rolling.
