IT FUCKING FLOPPED
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=ratchetandclank.htm
>>336181350
Big surprise. Didn't the game at least sell well though?
>>336181468
It broke launch sales records for the series.
>>336181350
Game was great. Movie should've been on Netflix. It was definitely not going to succeed the way it's written (you are basically guaranteed not to get much out of the film if you didn't play the game)
>>336181350
No Sly movie then?
>>336181964
Hopefully. I don't want to see them ruin Sly.
>>336181964
Hasn't been in production for years? They've probably poured too much money in to cancel now, unfortunately.
>>336182471
http://www.ign.com/videos/2016/03/28/whats-up-with-the-sly-cooper-movie-kevin-munroe-interview
No, the teaser trailer was just a proof of concept. It hasn't actually started production.
>>336182471
It hasn't begun production yet. Sony was probably waiting to see how Ratchet did before greenlighting it.
>>336182640
>>336182669
Oh thank god.
I thought it was a pretty d-decent movie.
Where it sits comparatively
>Thought it was pretty decent
>Had plenty of nods to the games if you're a fan
>Can't say I like Ratchet's new personality of being a five-year-old who is overly obsessed with being a hero
>Pacing was rushed as all fuck
>There was no reason to change Drek's actor
>The Blarg being a bunch of rowdy texters was pretty fucking funny though
And the game is a fucking 11/10, I'd be willing to argue it's right up there with CiT and UYA as my favorite.
>>336182826
>>336182965
That's because you played the games.
It's not good as an intro for people that didn't.
>>336181350
Is it good? I've been meaning to see it and I'm a R&C fan, but I'm not sure if it's worth a ticket
I've pretty much been waiting to see it, unfortunately.
>Lowry running away from the pressure
Nice "star" you got there
>>336183120
It's not a bad movie, just another mediocre kiddie flick, but if you like the series you should like it. It's not good either though.
I saw it, I thought it was alright. But that's because I played the games.
>>336183384
Woopd wrong thread and board
My least favorite part of the whole Rachet and Clank universe is Captain Quark showing up and spewing toilet humor to appeal to all the 5 year olds.
I don't know the first thing about this movie, but I'm just going to assume that Quark just runs around burping and farting.
>>336182669
"How did the Ratchet movie do?"
"It was panned, people hated it."
"Oh I guess people just don't want movie adaptations of games, let's not do any more then."
GUARANTEE YOU THIS WILL BE THEIR LOGIC
>>336181350
More like Rachet and Tank™
>>336182904
>there was a double dragon movie
>>336183674
Let's all hope so.
>>336183674
well yeah
they didn't want to make a Ratchet movie until the lowest bidder showed up and took the job
if a Ratchet film didn't do well then they sure as shit won't do a Sly one
>>336182904
>all that Uwe Boll schlock
>>336183873
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z1a7GlGCAs
>>336183674
You say that like there's something wrong with that. It would be the optimal turn of events.
>Game is not really good, the only good thing about it are its good graphics for a ps4 games and the same gameplay we all know and love
>Move is just as bad as the game, graphics are nothing new because Pixar and others exists and there's no gameplay to save it
Are people really surprised it bombed?
>>336182904
>Worse than House of the Dead
>Worse than Alone in the Dark
holy shit that's bad
>>336184312
>not really good
>fastest selling game in the franchise
>>336184312
the game is great, movie is mediocre
>>336184430
COD sales are 100 times higher than R&C, does that mean it's 100 times better too?
>>336184373
it honestly doesnt deserve to be that low, the movie is like a 5/10 at worsy
>>336184312
Nice meme shitposter
you know i havent actually heard anyone talk about the movie or the game
maybe its just not popular where i live, but did the game just not get marketed?
>>336184569
so your average dreamworks film then
>>336184312
Except the game is really good, the heck are you smoking?
>Fight Club, Hook, Ninja Turtles 1990, and Fear & Loathing were all panned by critics when they came out.
Also, the reasons for bashing the movie in these reviews are stupid. It feels too much like a videogame? WELL NO SHIT!
>>336184529
>Comparing something to COD meme
Saw it with a few friends. Two of them had never played R&C and still had a blast with the movie. Sure, it's not perfect and the pacing isn't great, but I felt it was as good as an animated kids movie based on a game could be. The nod to both Jak&Daxter and Sly was well received in our theater too.
It's a solid 7/10. Not great. Not terrible. Worth the price of admission and will likely buy when home release hits.
Ace Attorney is still the best video game movie. R&C is a close second.
>>336181350
can't flop when you spend exactly $0 on marketing.
>>336184903
You're the retard that brought sales in the first place to prove it's good while it doesn't mean shit
>>336184910
How about the two CG Resident Evil movies? Those were pretty solid, even if they only had like 2-3 monsters to them.
>>336184373
>Worse than Chun-Li
That's embarassing.
>>336185013
No, I'm not.
>gamer gate in charge of dealing with critics
>>336183968
>>336184290
In this particular case yes. The problem is that they will never recognize WHY it actually bombed, as in, the elements about it that people hated that didn't belong in it, the ways they fucked over the source material, etc. They won't learn this or apply it to anything else. They'll just assume that nobody wanted a Ratchet movie.
>My 8-year-old loved it. But he would eat dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets for every meal if I let him, so let's not consider his opinion.
REKT
>>336184859
Wasn't The Thing also panned?
>>336185123
>fastest selling game in the franchise
Sure buddy
>>336185238
I'm not the guy who said that, retard.
I don't know that much about movies but come someone give me an idea of how much money it cost to make it and how much they basically lost
>love the games and really want to see this movie
>all the cinemas around me don't let single people buy tickets
>have no friends and the girl I asked out looked at me funny for asking her to a kid's movie
Stupid idea for a movie. Sony has been pushing R&C as Pixar shit since the PS3. Only the PS2 games have the right tone: funny but not stupid or inane.
>>336185284
Neither am I
not him btw
>>336183674
>Sony sees that the game did well while the movie bombed
Thank you God
>>336184373
>>336182904
This is what saddens me the most.
The movie isn't good, but is way better than Alone in the Dark by a huge mile.
I imagine people today are way less unforgiving to stuff that isn't good than back then.
>>336185390
What in the fuck do any movie theaters actually do this or this just a meme I keep hearing
I don't think I've ever went to a movie by myself just because I barely ever watch movies
>>336185209
>B-but guys.... critics hated Star Wars
>But guys....critics hated Wizard of Oz
It's not just critics though. Everybody hates this movie.
>>336185123
Why are you replying to me? I'm not him.
>>336183674
My personal view, but it seems they really wanted the movie to do well more so than the game.
>>336185529
I agree. Yes, the movie is bland as fuck, but some critics are going as far as say it's worse than Norm of the North.
>>336185552
pretty sure it's a meme, or a very uncommon practice
>>336185391
Sony will keep milking R+C until the franchise is as bad as sonic
Meanwhile, we will never see another good Spyro game again
>>336185320
Typically an animated movie takes about $50-$150 million to make, but in this case it's really up in the air since it's Sony and the animation was outsourced to some rando company.
A good guess would be 20m, and they'll need a bit more than 20m just to break even. 4m for fucking opening weekend is terrible. Top put it in perspective, Zootopia, a movie that has been out for over 2 months pulled in more than the R&C movie. Now THAT is sad.
>>336185607
Everybody hates niggers, that doesn't mean it's right or okay.
How much did it cost to make?
>>336181350
It says it made $5 Million
>>336185861
You have to spend money to make money.
>>336185861
>$150 million
Where the fuck does this money go? You'd think a majority of the assists would already have been created by now to use.
>>336185861
Not counting is well known this movie has an incredibly small budget.
so I guess it doesn't have to try THAT hard to get back the losses.
That actually happened with Rainmaker's last venture to theatrical movies before this, Escape from Planet earth.
The movie was okay. I wasn't really impressed with anything, but I don't think it was bad. That being said, I don't think they gave Ratchet and Clank enough screen time as a pair.
Ratchet was a douchebag for most of the movie. That, and they played him off as almost a complete idiot. I know it's a reboot, but damn pay some respect to the source material.
>>336185861
>a movie that has been out for 2 months has made more than a movie that has been out for 3 days
HOLY SHIT I NEVER WOULDVE GUESSED
Actually had a fun idea about how they could reboot Going Commando.
>Villains are Zurgo and Quasar, Qwark's brother
>Zurgo is the one imitating Fizwidget, while Quasar imitates his brother in order to further defame the fallen hero
>Their plan was to frame Qwark as the mastermind of the malfunctioning Proto-pet outbreak similar to the original GC, with Quasar readying to break into the scene as a new hero who was better than his brother
>Game ends with Qwark's name ruined, prompting him to leave for Florana
Re-up your arsenal could then play out relatively the same, albeit with the changes seen from later games. Thus, no Dr. Nefarious for the tenth time right away.
>>336185778
>Sony will keep milking R+C until the franchise is as bad as sonic
Impossible. Sonic's problem is that it keeps reinventing the wheel. Ratchet's eventual problem is that the formula hasn't been innovated CiT, but that's because all the games following it were budget titles.
>>336186147
>Ratchet was a douchebag for most of the movie. That, and they played him off as almost a complete idiot. I know it's a reboot, but damn pay some respect to the source material.
That's the source material. Play it again, if you may.
>>336185529
Freddy got Fingered is better than any of Uwe Boll's films.
>>336186234
*since CiT
>>336184716
>shitposting DW films
>>336186160
He's comparing the totals for this weekend, not its entire run.
>>336186161
nah it's gonna be up your arsenal.
I love going commando but I don't think it would make good movie material really.
I almost hope they try to adapt Jak and Daxter so they they'll get a good tie in game. Or any game at all.
>>336182904
>Performed worse than House of the Dead
Dear God.
>>336186160
Are you fucking retarded?
He said the Ratchet and Clank's opening weekend pulled in less than Zootopia's 10th weekend (or whatever the fuck they're at). Not overall you dumbfuck.
>>336186395
I wanna fuck that rabbit
There's extremely limited screenings in the UK, so that probably didn't help.
>>336186074
Shit goes mostly into advancing animation quality I assume. Stuff like Zootopia's fur technology.
Another nail in the Sony coffin :))))))))
>>336186236
Uh, no. Ratchet is from a backwater planet, but he's not an idiot. Ever since the first game he's been a brilliant strategist. That, and he didn't treat Clank as a second class citizen like he did in the movie. If anything, it's the other way around.
>>336181350
I didn't even know it was out
>>336186370
I meant the game. They're not gonna do another movie. Even if this one had been a blockbuster, a sequel likely would have just been something entirely new.
>>336183873
damn right and it was terrible. abobo was like bane from that batman movie with george clooney
>>336186596
when was the last time you played first game
>>336186685
yeah, good pointI just really want up your arsenal on the big screen
>>336186395
>a furrybait movie from disney that was advertised to hell and back made more than what is likely sony's first outing into movie adaptations of video games, starting with a ps2 game that most minecraft kiddies (zootopia's target audience), never played or even heard of
Say it isn't so.
I liked Paul Blart 2
>>336186161
I hope they don't reboot the rest of the games. R&C 1 was the only one that needed it.
Every other mainline Ratchet game aged perfectly fine. I don't know why people would even want to ask for reboots of the other PS2 games because their strong points would be eyecandy and that would literally be it. It'd be worse in every other regard.
>Didn't find the movie as bad as critical response seems to claim.
>Most R&C are now gonna focus on this as much as locked 30 FPS
I don't agree it was very bland and it probably would have gained better success as a Netflix-exclusive movie. But I don't wanna dwell on sadness so I'm gonna point out the stuff I ACTUALLY liked among all those misfires:
>While the friendship was barely developed, Ratchet and Clank's delivery was 10/10. You can tell their VAs have the characters down pat and stood up against all those bland celebrity voice overs.
>Design wise it looked like the games. which with these movies that's a rarity.
>Victor Von Iron's Funeral scene.
>That Blarg with no indoor voice
>"WILHELM!"
>Some of the description subtitles made me light chuckle"Oh, like you didn't see this coming."
>Drek and Nefarious' fate being quite harsh in constrast with the way more kiddy tone of this adaptation
>>336186892
I do agree*
My bad.
>>336186892
it's almost as if movies aren't made for the people paid to be critics
>>336186890
Like I said RUYA would be exactly the same beyond changing Qwark's redemption a little. GC would still have to see some change since Qwark isn't vengeful after the story. I mean yea, they don't have to remake the game, but at least it's a fun idea of HOW they could do it without going retarded and making Qwark be a cunt for no reason.
>>336186853
Obviously this movie wouldn't even touch the overall gross of Zootopia, but the fucking NINTH WEEKEND of Zootopia did better than OPENING weekend of R&C.
That's fucking terrible.
it's a vidya movie, of course it was gonna bomb financially and be shit to boot.
>>336181350
well of course it did, it should have just been included with the game, it doesnt look like it was ever meant to be in theaters
>>336187271
Being a Disney movie kind of skews the numbers a bit though.
>>336186892
Vicktor's funeral was hilarious, and also kinda dark when all the Blarg got sucked out the airlock.
>>336187117
The one thing I liked about the remake was how that since it's told by Qwark's perspective, it made it a bit more of a fresh experience rather than just playing the exact same game with the exact same story.
I don't want to imagine GC or UYA in 30FPS with a handful of levels missing, from the original, mediocre OST, etc
>>336187293
the prince of persia movie was pretty good I though
Part of the problem is the lackluster marketing. Oh sure, they promoted it quite a bit on PSN, a place only GAMERS would even fucking know about. Not to mention they didn't show any trailers for at least a year before it was due out, and at one point had it set for 2015 before quietly shifting it to this year with no warning.
As for the movie, though I haven't seen it, I don't doubt the claims that while it isn't terrible, it's just "a movie of a game" rather than a brilliant adaptation that could have attracted millions of fans for more films and a flood of new game sales.
Still, I do kind of hope it doesn't kill off game movies. This showed promised by looking and feeling like the source material, something is undeniably rare with many other entries.
>>336181468
http://gematsu.com/2016/04/ratchet-clank-ps4-fastest-selling-game-franchise-history
Downloading the remake now. This shit better be good, /v/. I need to wash the taste of the movie out of my mouth
>>336186752
Last month.
>>336187561
It ran just fine, though. And not like Insomniac can't find a way to break into 60fps if they take the time. Also the OST was just fine.
>>336183674
When the only sector of your company that isn't bleeding money hard is the video game one you're not gonna want to put as much time, money, and effort on the other parts
>>336183754
I just wanna let you know that I appreciate this joke, anon. It got a chuckle from me. As I sit here, elbows resting on knees, producing one of the largest turds of my young life.
>>336185861
Double your budget + marketing to break even.
BVS is at $850M and the WB execs are grinding their teeth and wringing their hands.
>>336187480
Slightly, but nothing this bad.
To put into perspective, a equally financially successful Disney (Pixar) movie Inside Out couldn't hit a million on each day, while Zootopia has pulled over a million for Fri/Sun and over 2m on Sat.
>>336187758
Jirard actually said it best when he said "the OST isn't anything remarkable but it definitely fits what's going on"
>game launches for $40
>gets bundled with movie months later for $60
>>336185861
This movie actually had a budget of $20 million, so it's a feat that it managed to look as it did. And even then it's nothing compared to actual animated movies
>>336187971
Each day on the 9th weekend, that is*
>>336185747
To be fair, going to the movies along is quite possibly one of the most miserable experiences you could ever subject yourself to.I do it all the time because I have no friends.
What should we do sonybros??
>>336187936
I was monitoring BvS BO for a while, and holy shit people dropped this movie so fucking fast.
>>336181350
Saw this and was confused when I went to see Super Man VS Batman. Probably should have seen Rachet instead.
>>336187598
>shaky cam up the ass
No. No it wasn't.
>>336188062
Well it is by the folks who made Reboot, they've been doing CG for over 20 years.
>>336188256
eheh
>>336188274
Word of mouth killed it. A lot of people went to see it because it was the fucking Batman vs. Superman movie but the critical and consumer reaction to it sunk that shit hard
>no Kevin Michael Richardson
What the fuck were they thinking?!
>make money from the game
>lose it on the movie
>>336188323
It wasn't that shaky.
>>336188062
The technology they used to make movies a few years ago is getting cheaper. You can make a movie that looks like Up without the budget it had back then.
>>336188274
/tv/ deserves a victory every once in a while.
They needed fucking Twitter to praise this movie.
Not saying it's true but wouldn't the 20 mil budget also include the game as well? I mean, the entire movie is basically one giant cutscene for a video game.
Can someone tell me about backwards compatibility or releases on the ps4
Do they have all the r&c games? all the jak and daxter games? all the sly copper games?
>>336188420
Movie Drek is very different from Original Drek. Tbh Kevin Michael Richardson not only wouldn't have fit, it'd have actually made me madthat he gets hijacked by Nefarious by the end.
>>336185529
I'm sure it entirely has to do with the movie being animated while those other movies weren't. Uwe Boll or not it isn't hard to get idiots into a theater when promised some generic horror shit, as opposed to an animated kids film with pretty much zero marketing.
>>336188323
I don't remember it being particularly shaky.
A lot of people complained about the ending since it used time travel to make it so 90% of the film never happened, but I really liked that because I was so fucking mad about PoP 2008's ending and the movie ending was basically the same idea except actually done well.
>>336188374
It's hard to comprehend sometimes, because I also love a hobby full of people that eat literal shit and comes back for more.
>>336183674
It's not a dumb way of thinking. Sly is being made by the same shitty animation studio and if R&C couldn't sell on name alone, with a tie-in video game to go with it, then the project is as good as dead.
That being said only Sony's relationship with the animation company is fucked, we're not going to see any movies coming from them any time soon but this won't affect their decisions to make other video game movies. Hell, Sony confirmed an Uncharted movie and a TLoU movie as well.
That being said, they're supposedly both in development hell so they might go in the shitter anyway for an entirely different reason.
Can someone tell me about backwards compatibility or releases on the ps4
Do they have all the R&C games?
All the jak and daxter games?
All the sly cooper games?
>>336188787
The PS4 is not backwards compatible, you can only play the remake on it
>>336188579
You can't play PS3 discs on PS4, but you can play PS3 games with the "PSNow" service. Never tried it, but you should be able to play all the R&C games that wound up on PS3.
>>336185163
>fucking up the source material is why this movie bombed
Absolutely no one outside of gamers are aware of this franchise, and even then most gamers are only generally aware of it. The main reason this movie bombed is that its an animated action movie based on an IP with practically zero mainstream recognition.
>>336188864
Was there much of a complaint from fans about the remake?
>>336188787
I believe the collections are playable through PlayStation Now, though I don't know how good that is
>>336188710
>Hell, Sony confirmed an Uncharted movie and a TLoU movie as well.
>That being said, they're supposedly both in development hell so they might go in the shitter anyway for an entirely different reason.
They also have a bigger chance at success than R&C because they can at least can market themselves as generic action flicks for the basic popcorn movie goer which you can't really do with an animated property like Ratchet or Sly.
>>336188641
Kind of weird since Sands of the time the game literally ends with all the events unfucked by time travel.
And the 08 game was an interesting way to do an ending. Should have had the Prince at least say "We can't just keep sealing the bastard" instead of just looking like he wanted to get his dick wet.
movie was made , beside for more exposure, to cash in more money alongside the game
if the movie fails I'm sure sony won't give a shit
they give adam sandler 20mil for every single movie he makes , bust or not.
>>336188934
Aside from the shit posters, it is universally praised from fans and PS4 owners.
>>336189091
Neat, might get a ps4.
>>336184859
Fight Club and Fear and Loathing were not completely panned by critics, and Hook was genuinely a pretty crappy film (seriously, watch it now, its slow as shit and has a ton of really bizarre elements and plot points).
>>336188787
Get a PS3. It's at its cheapest now and it worth every buck, unlike buying 360 now, for example.
>>336188710
Uncharted and The Last of Us already feel like movies. That's not an insult as I think they're pretty good but why would you want a movie when you can just play the game or watch the cut scenes on YouTube.
>>336181350
did not have any of the innuendos that the original trilogy was filled to the brim with? I thought that alone would have it sell well.
>>336189141
It's decent but not worth buying a system over. Are there any other PS4 games you're interested in?
>>336189064
Pretty sure the game was put into development shortly after the film. So if anything, the game was being made to expose the movie. Problem is, the film barely got any promotion to hype up viewers.
>>336184859
Don't forget Eraserhead.
Saw it today. It was alright. It could have been something amazing is Sony tried. Fans well like it.
I did like the daxter and sly easter egg.
>>336189186
There's literally nothing wrong with a movie being slow.
People who complain about movies being 'too slow' are ADHD-infested retards.
>>336189290
Maybe them souls games.
>>336189302
>The game was in concurrent development with the film and shared the same character models, environments, animation and some writing. For example, Insomniac would send Rainmaker a 3D character model or environment, and Rainmaker would send Insomniac its slightly altered version for use in the game, so there would be parity between the pieces. Most of the assets in the film and video game had been touched between the two parties, and in some cases Insomniac would try to match a film scene as closely as possible in-game. The film and game also used the same color-correction tools.
most articles point to the game being first
>>336188641
the fight scenes were a mess in the film. Sorry, but that's now how sword fights should be filmed.
Just see zootopia instead
>>336181350
Who cares? The game did well.
>>336189386
Shut the fuck up, you know damn well there are instances where its OK for a film to be slow and instances where its not, I'm obviously talking about the latter here.
>>336189332
>Daxter easter egg
How cynical can you be, Sony?New, proper Jak never;_;
>>336188892
And there you have it; either no mainstream awareness so confusion, and for those who are fans it takes a dump on the series. But the company behind this movie will not fucking learn this.

Hey, I loved that movie as a kid, I saw it twice in the theaters. I watched it again recently and I wanted to blow my brains out any time Rufio wasn't on the screen.
>>336189213
Expanding the franchise. Books and movies can help deepen a franchise in many ways. Adding adventures that might not work in one medium, or bridging the gap between two different media.
Problem is, the first movies almost always have to be retellings of the first games, and with that comes the task of squeezing a story told over roughly 2 hours (give or take with some games, often more depending) into something usually less than that.
One of the biggest issues with Reboot and Clunk is how it just speeds through a lot of events with no buildup or world building, and not Drek's kind mind you.

True, it's the same way Guardians of the Galaxy- niche shit even avid comic book fans barely knew- was a big success. They advertised to guys that like space adventures (similar to Star Wars) rather than just the people who read the comics.
The problem with R&C's marketing was that it boiled down to "HEY GUYS IT'S A MOVIE BASED ON A VIDEO GAME HOW ABOUT THAT HUH", the average movie-goer doesn't know or care about R&C games so it bombed.

Sony and people who like good movies
>>336182904
I don't care, I love House of the Dead and Chun-Li. So fucking bad it's great.
>>336189547
Sounds more like the game came shortly after. It was probably done as a marketing scheme
>Let's make a movie, but also a game based on the movie
Only reason this didn't backfire like so many tie-ins is because they got the original dev to not only help with the film (which probably saved it from being a total disaster) and handle the remake, sparing the latter from being shovelware by some iPhone developer.
>>336183674
Remember in the 90's when every game just had to have a cartoon series and a catch phrase? Do you remember the mortal kombat cartoon series? The DK series? The new Sonic Boom?
This is a good thing. Movies should stay away from vidya.
>>336185714
any specific critics who said that?
>>336189897
Rufio was the worst part of the movie.
I've always loved Hook though. Can't really enjoy it now though because of the suicide thing.
>Death would be a wonderful adventure
>death is the only adventure you have left
Mein Gott this movie makes me bawl now.
>implying based Duncan Jones won't bring gamekino with Warcraft
>>336187723
It's a good game but lacks content. That's about it really.
>>336190239
>never touched one nanosecond of WoW
>Want to see the movie for some reason
Fucking why
>>336190185
But you listed two good series. I don't know how a Mortal Kombat cartoon series would work, though, considering it was an M rated series for the most part.
>>336190275
Except it's got way more content than most $40 games.
>Collectibles that help you gain more money and upgrade crystals
>Said collectibles pay homage to the entire series and help inform newcomers
>Non-linear level progression returns after being dropped in UYA
>>336184859
go read Roger Ebert's review of Fight Club, he makes a fair point that the film never lives up to the potential of its early scenes which examine the impersonal and depressing nature of modern life.
I'm reading a few reviews of Fear and Loathing and the main criticism seems to be that its visually interesting but the script is sorely lacking the book's infectious energy. Which honestly I completely agree with, the book is leagues better than the movie. Same about Fight Club as well now that I think about it.
>>336190315
It's really not a WoW movie.
It's based off Warcraft 1, the strategy game, and lore books like Rise of the Horde.
Though there are some small details that WoW players will appreciate. (Ex: they remade a popular tavern in the game into a full set)
>>336190239
>implying this movie won't kill the career of a good director who once had a promising future
I have no idea why the hell he'd want anything to do with this shit.
>>336189386
>There's literally nothing wrong with a movie being slow.
I disagree entirely, pacing is one of the most important things about a movie.
>>336190617
Well I mean compared to previous R&C games
>>336189386
>why would anyone want decent pacing in an action-adventure family film? I bet you just have ADHD!
>>336190617
>this is what people consider content in games nowadays
holy shit I am depressed now.
>>336190804
Because he likes Warcraft, and wants to do the series justice. In fact, most of the cast are either current WoW players, or recovering WoW addicts.
ITT: a bunch of butthurt faggots saying that "critics don't know what they're talking about"
I bet you guys like Man of Steel too.
I thought this movie was like a made-for-nickelodeon or a netflix original. I mean, it looked like one. How the fuck did they spend $12 million on that?
>>336190239
>Blizzard was picky about how they would go about turning Warcraft into a movie
>they're okay with this piece of garbage
It doesn't even feel like Warcraft. Looks like some guaranteed flop based on some no name fantasy book that nobody wanted.
>>336190808
Hateful Eight earned my ire for this.
Meanwhile everyone is dry humping the movie. Fuck I couldn't get past one hour and 15 minute mark without falling asleep at the TV.
>>336190813
More than what Into the Nexus had.
>>336190953
It's got content, stop pretending it doesn't. You have plenty of planets, weapons, and secrets to explore.
>>336191030
>Looks like some guaranteed flop based on some no name fantasy book
I have no idea else you could expect from a movie based on Warcraft 1.
>>336190996
I did not like Man of Steel, though I hardly see what that has to do with anything. Did you want to discuss Man of Steel?
>>336191083
The last two tarantino movies were mediocre as fuck.
>>336181350
>The game is a booming success
>The movie flopped
I'm okay with this.
>>336191232
Something that looks like it's from the Warcraft universe, for starters. Live action was a mistake.
>>336191381
Not really. I thought it was shit and it had the same reaction of "CRITICS DON'T KNOW SHIT MAN OF STEEL IS REALLY GOOD"
i really wanna shitpost but i dont have it in me today
>>336181350
Hahahaha.and people say Vidya movies will be the next big thing after Hero movies
>>336190239
Reminds me of this.

literally no one has this in earnest

>do an absolute shit job on a game adaptation film
>"guess people don't want game adaptation films, better not do anymore"
LOGIC
>>336191602
Who said that? It's widely accepted that video game movies are almost guaranteed to be awful.
>>336187650
>shitty remake is the best selling of the series
why
>>336192019
>shitty
Says you.
>>336191539
really? The general consensus I've seen even among DC fans was that it was disappointing.
Personally though I really disliked it but for different reasons than I commonly hear. A lot of DC fans were upset that Superman killed Zod because that's not muh superman (nevermind that he killed mr mixy at the end of whatever happened to the man of tomorrow) but that didn't really bother me. What bothered me most was the pacing of the film and the villain's motivations making no fucking sense whatsoever. I remember just sitting there an hour into the movie and thinking to myself holy shit when is superman gonna beat up some bad guys already. They dragged the origin out WAY too long.
And then Zod is trying to reverse terraform Earth so he can make a new Krypton but doesn't care that this planet already has a race of sentient life that would be completely wiped out in the process? He also apparently doesn't want super powers because they take a few years to learn how to use? If he has the codex and a FTL spaceship he could go and do that literally anywhere, hell he could just go to mars and do it without having to wipe out billions of people.
I mean I get that he was genetically designed to be a war leader so he doesn't understand diplomacy very well but the idea that someone from such an incredibly advanced race would find a race of sentient life that lives in a way his own once did and his initial reaction is to wipe them out because of their disgusting barbarity rather than conquering and civilizing them (which he could easily do) is just dumb. Its made worse by the fact that its done without any explanation whatsoever.

>30 fps instead of the original's 60
>cut out 1/3 of all the worlds
>npcs talking in the back round way more than the original
It's shit

thats mfw I didn't see BvS

>It's going to be a relatively decent movie that's well received by critics
>Meanwhile Warcraftfags will scream "not mah Warcraft" and shit on it
Oh this will be delicious
>>336192225
It runs just fine, 30/60fps are not the only defining aspect of a game.
The worlds are still large enough and offer plenty to explore.
They only talk in the places you can see them or they're nearby. They're also not as chatty as people keep claiming.
The game is just fine.
>>336192225
nice joke
>>336192361
They're almost extinct though
>>336192458
>>It's going to be a relatively decent movie that's well received by critics
This won't happen. It will do well though.
>>Meanwhile Warcraftfags will scream "not mah Warcraft" and shit on it
I'm not even going to see it.
>>336192819
let me guess, wc3 was your first warcraft
>>336193116
Why would I care about a Hollywood version of a game that I already enjoyed as a lad?
>>336193294
oh nvm, I see wow was your first warcraft
carry on
i liked it
>>336182904
It looks like it's the only movie shown that didn't lose money. It broke even. That combined with merchandising and dvd/psn sales, it'll end up going positive. Plus the movie hype added to the video game sales, which preformed well. All in all, not a bad move for Sony.

Totally not biased fanboys.
>>336193538
Not wanting to watch bad movies means WoW was my first Warcraft? You're not making any sense, anon.
>>336186890
Wait people think that R&C 1 needed a reboot?
I thought it aged fine I don't get all the people that say no strafing was hard to get used to after the other games.
>>336193786
look all I know is that your soundcard works perfectly

>It runs just fine
No, it's
>went to the cinema to see this yesterday
>before the film starts I head to the cinema showers for a quick shave before the movie
>no fucking shaving cream left so I have to go dry
>face stings like a bitch throughout the whole film, killing any potential enjoyment I might get from it
>>336194231
Fucking hell my thumb slipped. I was going to say the only constant thing about the framerate are the drops during action sequences.
>>336194254
>head to the cinema showers for a quick shave before the movie
>a quick shave
>>336194374
Except it doesn't drop, at least to anything that notable.
>>336194223
are you not :(
>>336194254
Why the fuck would you need to shave to watch a fucking movie?
And let alone AT the fucking theater.
>cinema showers
A public restroom isn't a cinema shower room.
>>336194374
on my third playthrough and i've yet to see any framerate drops
>>336194254
Pussy.
>>336191737
good god, dont remind me
>>336187650
Looks like this series is going to continue the whole half-game thing they've been doing for a while now.
>>336181350
Too bad the game is doing so well. It means they're going to reboot Commando and Arsenal. They're gonna retcon and ruin everything.
>>336194765
You beaten at your own game, son. Looks like you were the WoW player all along.
It doesn't get any better than this
>>336195206
fuck off you bitch
>>336195538
Fuck you and this worthless pink human alien. Stay the fuck away from Commando and Arsenal you fucking piece of shit.

https://youtu.be/WjdmOeLJP1I
I watched it when it aired. Lasted 2 seasons, since it was MK and they were huge back then
>>336195953
And you sound like a nigger, so your opinion isn't really relevant is it?
>>336181964
You are misunderstanding WHY this movie failed.
Sly movie will not have the same writers or the same adherence to a video game counterpart.
This whole R&C reboot was based on making a movie and a game side by side. That's how it was planned.
Even if they did more "PlayStation Originals", which they will, they'd be a case by case basis like any other film. In this case, the film just needed way, way better writers. The R&C script is completely humorless and bland for 2/3rds of the film.
>>336196071
and you think yours is fuck off
>>336194912
It runs fine. Its when you try to push the game to its limit. That's when the deeping starts.
