What went wrong?
Name one good video game movie
>>340236720
one was modern a adam sandler movie and the other was a cash grab
>>340236813
angry birds
pfft, that wasn't hard at all
>>340236813
>>340236948
ill agree
it wasnt great but it wasnt bad
it was a kids movie anyways
>>340236813
street fighter
mortal kombat
>>340236720
The trailer was the most generic, cliche fantasy shit possible
>>340236813
Resident Evil
I liked it
>>340236813
Mortal Kombat was pretty good even if it was a bit campy. The sequels to it sucked though.

I get that the movie won't be that great, but holy shit can you try harder?
>>340237176
I never seen the original movie, but Legend of Chun-Li was fucking garbage. It's even worse than Dragon Ball Evolution.
I thought Warcraft was pretty decent
I really dont understand why people are shitting so hard on it. Its not great but far, far better than pixels or Batman vs Superman
>>340236813

It's better than two terrible movies
I guess that's a plus
>>340236813
Mortal Kombat (first movie), Silent Hill, and the first two RE movies.
>>340236813
Wreck it Ralph
>>340237913
Street Fighter was pretty fun. I think the director really tried to put every character possible, but most of them acted as minions. Make that as you will.
>>340238169
Without a doubt my pick
>>340238169
Hardly counts as a video game movie.
Was more like a movie about fucking candy advertisements, but with the occasional video game reference.

By the unlikeliest of chances, Polygon has a good breakdown of how the movie came to be what it is.

this seems like the only way to make a halfway decent video game movie. all this live action rubbish needs to go.
also, I seem to remember there being decent CG RE movies.
>>340236720

>>340236720
Unpopular opinion here. I think that videogame movies will never get high on the tomatometer because critics just don't like the style of them.
All these examples are no-brainer action movies, and critics are tired of those. That's why they always score low.

>>340238540
FUCK
>>340238642
If it ain't 2D animated then you can get out of my face.
>>340238568
Rotten tomatoes isn't the oscars though. You still see "fun" with high scores.
You don't need the movie to be about a orphan transexual who has a two legged dog and half estranged brother, whos mother was a holocaust survivor and a lesbian.
>>340236720
Real actors is what went wrong.
The full CGI scenes were so strong. The orcs were really entertaining. The real actors were less convincing than the fucking 3D fake green men. Come the fuck on.
>>340237176
>street
weren't there good SF anime movies?
>>340238642
I thought pixels was kinda good, but I went to one of those full service theatres and got a cocktail at my leather recliner, so maybe I just liked the experience more than the movie.
Either way I get to see the war craft movie for free as my friend owns a movie theatre, so w.e

I've heard somewhere that vidya movies are bad because they take away the biggest part of a video game, the interactive experience.
So, will there never be a truly good and memorable video game movie?

It's okay guys, fuck the movie, we still have this coming our way; http://au.ign.com/articles/2016/04/12/mega-man-cartoon-in-the-works
>>340238642
The franchise is dead and yet capcom finds way to shit on any megaman fan left.
I can see meeting with people at capcom trying their best to fuck with megaman fans.

I just seen Warcraft on Sunday and I hate it so much. Why did they change the lore? Medivh and first war already had 10/10 story that could be a great movie. I'm so fucking mad.
>>340238574
Game was based off the movie, I'm pretty sure.
The original tron. Not tron legacy.
>>340240034
At least we might get more megaman geams if it goes well
Warcraft sucks as it deviates too much from the source material what with adding dindu orcs who weren't around Warcraft 1, Dalaran already floating etc.
>>340236813
Prince of Persia.
At this point an Overwatch movie looks more attractive than the Warcraft one.
Too bad blizzard can't write for shit.
>>340239637
I wish they'd outsource MM to a western dev. nothing to lose at this point. no, actually I'd love a MM game done by platinum in the vein of MGR. since we're probably not getting a mgr sequel.

Gonna flop ridiculously hard in the US though.

Wreck It Ralph is a genuinely good video game movie
Prove me wrong
>>340237054
this movie was actually damn good, I was shocked
>>340238546
Angry Birds is actually pretty good.
>>340241697
no argument here
>>340236720
Movie critics who know nothing about the game and go into it expecting Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones and not getting that.
>>340238153
>>340241269
>Silent Hill
those movies were GOD FUCKING AWFUL
>>340239141
the binding of isaac
>>340241697
the fact they made an actual game out of it is pretty funny.
>>340241959
You shouldn't have to know the subject matter to enjoy a piece of media. I enjoyed the LOTR movies but have never and will never read a tolkien work
>>340239245
most games are movies now anyway. so sure.
>>340241697
Thats like saying The Incredibles is the best Super Hero movie.
>>340242225
Then dumbshit critics should stop drawing comparisons
I didn't see Warcraft because it looked like pro-migrant propaganda.
>>340242301
but it is
>>340236720
If it was a movie that was paid by Blizzard instead of Blizzard just handing out his IP and getting cash, if Blizzard was in actual charge of it and it was only CGI like Warcraft III, and well if they just make a Warcraft III non live action movie they could maybe sold more to the public, but they decided to do Live Action because cheap, Blizzard should learn about Capcom and its Resident Evil movies, only CGI not too long and overall good, which makes me sad to think we may not have another good CGI resident evil movie again.
>>340241972
At worst, they were B films.
But as Video Games adapted as movies, they were pretty on point to the themes and spirit of the games.
>>340242084
I'd watch it. never even played the games, but it seems like a movie extrapolating on what the games don't is a good way to handle it.
>>340236813
There literally aren't any. Some retards will argue that the first resident evil or silent hill or street fighter movies are good, but they're not. There is not one good video game movie. They all fucking suck.
Assassin's Creed directed by Justin Kurzel (and featuring the entire production crew behind Macbeth) could definitely change that, but then again Warcraft had a good director and production crew as well and look how that turned out.
With that being said, the Assassin's Creed trailer wasn't hilariously bad looking and offensive like the Warcraft trailer so maybe it could turn out good.
>>340242301
why isn't it? because it's not live action?
>>340242470
>>340242632
It is, but it feels like it can't really be compared to the others because it wasn't constrained by any existing source materials.
>>340236813
Mortal Kombat was probably closest to the source material but Street Fighter is by far the best for a good laugh
>>340242601
>street fighter movies
Who the fuck liked that?
>>340242314
Why?
LOTR and game of thrones are different, people don't compare game of thrones to lotr because they have complete different tones and storytelling. Ever consider the fact that maybe warcraft doesn't really have a good story to tell? Only W3 had a decent story, and they completely fucked up the lore and dumbed it down anyways in this movie to please to the casual audiences.
>>340242245
"Most" is a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think ?
>>340236813
catch 22
>>340237054
>Movie who's message is more or less anti-refugee, ask questions, etc.
>Gets bad ratings by popularist windbags.
Color me surprised.
>>340242835
It's a campy guilty pleasure, not an actually good film.
>>340240178
Because it no longer fits the mess of a narrative that Metzen has written himself into with WoW.
WoW is the mistake that ruined Warcraft.
>>340238271
It was literally a game about video game characters you fucking idiot. Did you miss the whole bad guy, good guy, get kids to want to play our games message?
>>340236720
>Blizz makes god tier cgi
>duur lets make a live action/cgi like avatar
>>340242767
So what? If you mean super hero adaptation, then say fucking adaptations.
>>340241972
First one was decent. It had nice atmosphere, though not a great film
Videogame movies will never be as good as Captain America The Winter Soldier
No hot gay orc sex.
>>340243203
I couldn't see anything that game related once they went to fucking candy land.
vidya became a backdrop.
>Half-Orc is now Draeni instead of Human/Orc
>Orcs are now "Fleeing their dying homeworld" instead of being drawn in by Medhiv to fuck shit up.
>Orcs are all didn du nuffins.
Fucking Awful
>>340236813
Mortal kombat, just the original one.
>>340237215
this movie was good
>>340243706
Did you miss the racing? The "candyland" was a video game.
maybe vidya movies never do well because 99% of vidyas wouldn't be able to stand on their own if they were just stories.
People of real creative writing genius go write books, or screenplays. vidya is were all the fanboys go. Just look at people with CS skills.
Any real CS genius is going to go do their own project or work for some huge moving force in the world like nasa or google or whatever. People with CS skills that go in vidya will be paid mere pennies and will never do any real huge feat since they have neither the skill nor the license nor the budget to do so.
>>340244189
The only game with a story that could stand on it's own I'd argue would be an RPG like Final Fantasy. Because you can toss out most of the game elements and have it still be good.
And yeah, you basically explained CS research.
>>340236720
The story.
Everything wrong with the Warcraft movie is with the god awful story. Warcraft 1 and 2 had the shittiest stories with the most boring characters in the entire franchise.
A freaking WoW graphic novel has a better story than those two games.
>>340242835
Tim Curry was BOAT
>>340242487
>But as Video Games adapted as movies, they were pretty on point to the themes and spirit of the games.
yeah, if you've never actually played the games and only read about them in threads here on /v/
>>340243481
the atmosphere was flatulent at best, none of the locations ever told any of the story like they were able to in the game, most of the story was told through exposition, something that even freshmen english majors know not to do - show, don't tell -
all they did, and did lazily, was spooky abandoned generic location #1, spooky abandoned location #1 becomes even more spooky and less abandoned with the addition of monsters.
My friends want to go to Warcraft movie with me

Wreck It Ralph isn't a video game movie because there was no Wreck It Ralph video game they based it off of you fucking tards

And Roger Rabbit has Loony Tunes in it, that doesn't make it a Loony Tunes movie
>>340246408
Yes but it has nothing to do with any of their video games
>>340246584
Why the fuck not? I always considered it to be one だね
>>340236720
Blizzard did. Orc Lives Matter is a pretty good thing to single out, though.
Because it was a generic shitty western fantasy cookie cutter, Michael Bay style action movie with the same boring Humans vs Orcs rhetoric. They could've focused on something more interesting, like the Burning Crusade or the Rise of The Litch King. Orcs aren't really that interesting
>>340236813
Wreck-it Ralph
>>340246905
They'll do that stuff in the sequel
Warcraft is actually good.
not even kidding.
all the warcraft fans loved it.
i loved it myself.
It's an ok movie, not great but better than the rating critics are giving it
Looks like it'll be monetarily successful enough for sequels anyway despite critics

>all the warcraft fans loved it.
Be honest /v/ would warhammer make a good movie?
>>340242835
It's not a good movie, but it's hella enjoyable by how campy it is, and Raul Julia cheesed the fuck outta his last role. If it wasn't for him, it would be just a generic bad movie.
>>340247797
More than likely no. Too much backstory. If it's an action movie where that's not necessary than maybe, but I'm still leaning towards no.
>>340247531
Just by preorders in china the movie is looking to be very successful, they're already planning on making sequels
it'll be very successful in every marked that isnt the US
>>340242947
>being in support of an extremist political group forcing propaganda in movies
Bet you whine about it when liberals do it.
>>340239554
I actually like this one, has a lot of love put into it.

>>340247979
>it'll be very successful in every market that isnt the US
you know if the aborted fetus that was Terminator: Genisyshowever the fuck they spell itwasn't so successful in China then I would just laugh at you
People care about critics? These are the same people who give praises to generic marvel movies
>>340242847
>Only W3 had a decent story, and they completely fucked up the lore and dumbed it down anyways in this movie
W3's story isn't even in the movie, you fucking retard. You haven't even watched it.
>>340247797
wtf does that even mean you dunce. That is like asking if the Renaissance would make a good movie. Warhammer fantasy is a setting not a specific story. Also its been retconned into Age of Shitmar (and god would anything involved with that be a shit movie) The same goes for 40k, 40k is a setting, you cant make a movie about a setting.

What kind of cruel god would do this to me? Its bad enough Capcom dragged his corpse through the mud, now Fox is gonna dig that body up and use it as a puppet.
What did Megaman do to Capcom to spurn such wrath that they would mock him even as he is no longer a relevant gaming franchise?
what is actually wrong with the WoW movie anyway?
All I see is goldfacing next to a review score
>>340249776
The most glaring thing to me is the makeup work in place of proper CGI for orc characters. It looks bad. Story is shit too.
>>340250113
>CG over makeup
Kill yaself ma man
>>340250410
I didn't say that, I said it was exclusively makeup (probably minor touchups in editing) versus exclusively CG. The latter would probably look better if they could pull it off.
>>340236720
Eh pixels was generic as fuck but I had fun with it.
40 minutes were cut.
>>340236813
Mario Bros MovieI will fite anyone that disagrees
>>340249776
The major complaint is that the pacing in the beginning is really weird, because they cut 40 minutes of completed footage.
The other criticisms are more opinions; some people say Medivh was bad, others say he was good. Some say the soundtrack was bad, others say it was good.
The only consensus is that the pacing is off.
>>340245324
yes
>>340243273
Avatar at the least looked good visually and the women na'vi werent just blue human.

The sole reason I remember this is that the destructoid podcast did a MST3K thing on this and it was incredible. Before all those men went on to worse things...
