Did you enjoy the first good game movie?
Yes, I enjoyed Angry Birds The Movie
>>344678846
Postal was pretty good, yeah.
Yeah Jake Gyllenhaal was alright as the prince, the story was a little bit different to the games but I didn't really mind.
>>344678846
Angry Birds was great.
>>344678846
Spirits Within was pretty and enjoyable. The story was a bit meh, but it was a very interesting setting.
>>344678846MOORTAAAAL KOOMBAAAT
Nah, haven't had an opportunity to see Kingsglaive yet.
>>344678846
That orc costume design is total shit.
And the set looks like a Fischer Price toy.
No it's not out in america yet Q_Q
Well they got worse after the 2nd movie but they are all pretty enjoyable.
>>344681391
Nobody cares about that shit. The Warcraft movie has made the best human character in the entire Warcraft lore.

This is a screenshot from the low-budget porn parody, right?

Sure, it was a fun movie. Perfect actress at the time for the main character too.
>>344680713
I recently rewatched it
gotta say it is seriously underrated. but I mostly agree with everything you said. great concept but not very good delivery
definitely more interesting then every final fantasy game square has made since with exception of final fantasy x
>>344678846
is that supposed to be Lord of the Rings style scaling only this time done really badly?
>>344678846
The movie was garbage. It could have capitalized on the game of thrones factor and shock everyone. Stormwind was still in one piece at the end. Like....fucking why.
>>344678846
>>344681391
>And the set looks like a Fischer Price toy.
I thought I was crazy.
EVERYTHING looks like it's made out of plastic.
The walls
The armor
The pillars
The only things in this shot that have some quality is the orc and human woman's outfit, and the fucking candle stick
>>344678846
The orc arc was literally the only thing that worked. Every time the humans were on screen it was just a long string of paint by numbers script and joyless acting. I actually related more with Durotan, a fucking CGI puppet, than I did with any of the actual humans presented to me.

>>344684064
you didn't like arag... I mean Lothar?
>>344684064
You should read Fimmel's interview about his experience acting for it. He nearly had a McKellen moment where he was completely frustrated by talking to air and pretending to act. He said this isn't why he got into acting and hated it, "first big movie or not."
>>344684370
Spirits Within is fine as a movie, but it isn't a good video game movie. The FF7 movie is better in that regard.
The res of your list is spot on.
>>344683426
>seriously underrated
It was wank. Just a ridiculously convoluted way of telling the same old tired "respect and cherish mother nature" story we've hear a billion times before, except done very poorly and very pretentiously.
I tried to rewatch it myself recently and couldn't make it all the way through.
>>344684692
You sure you're not talking about Avatar?
>>344678846
At first I thought that image was from a porn parody.
yes, I did enjoy street fighter.warcraft was okay.
>>344684664
True, I guess I'm alone for liking the "alien ghosts" aspect.
Matter is energy, and can be phase shifted too. Seems believable to have "ghosts" in a sci-fi fantasy setting.
Yes, I did enjoy Silent Hill.
>>344684843
It's all the same shit.
For some reason sci-fi is rife with delusions of grandeur. You don't see the other trashy genres like action and horror believing they are teaching the world a very important lesson with every other film.
Yeah it wasn't bad

>>344685364
A half-orc. This half orc.
The problem with video game movies is they keep choosing video games with shit plots to adapt. A video game can have a poor or just alright plot because the gameplay makes up for that. You don't have audience interaction with a movie though, so you need a compelling narrative, which things like Warcraft 1, Resident Evil, Doom etc just don't have.
Video game movies will start being good once they give us adaptations of things like The Witcher, The Last of Us etc. Games with a strong narrative focus.

>The orc arc was literally the only thing that worked.
A Warcraft 2 movie is already in the works and guess what it'll be focusing on?
wreck it ralph was a better vidya movie than warcraft.
spirits within was a good movie but not a good FF.
I hope im not the only one who thinks the half orc chick made no story sense other than sex appeal to the audience. how is she supposed to take orc D without dying if shes a twig?
didn't help that we viewed some actual good movies before watching warcraft either, I was not impressed.
>>344678846
Garona was my least favourite part about the movie.
Maybe also that everyone in Stormwind dresses fine except the general who looks like a hobo the entire movie
>>344685798
did they just skip over the burning legion entirely then?
>>344685558
>Video game movies will start being good once they give us adaptations of things like The Witcher, The Last of Us etc. Games with a strong narrative focus.
Is that a joke?
The plots aren't the problem, they always change them anyway, it's the execution. They usually get hacks to make them and want them done as quickly and cheaply as possible. That is why video game movies suck.
>>344685798
Impossible to tell a proper Arthas story in just 2h.
>>344685798
they'll probably skip warcraft 2, or just explain it over quickly in the intro (stormwind got rekt by orcs, so the alliance rekt them back)
then they'll start with Thralls story since they literally ended the first movie with him getting found by humans
cant wait for the 6 gorillion orcs in work camps
>>344686042
the burning legion was never mentioned, they only refered to "demons"
Reminder
>>344685798
Warcraft 3 has way too much shit going on for a single movie, it needs like 6 to cover the umptillion characters who are all super plot central
>>344686281
>without the support of their allies, the war quickly took a turn for the worse
>Stormwind was sacked, burned to the ground, and the orcs pushed north
>Realizing the threat, the other kingdoms banded together under Lothar and fought the orcs to the... death (flash, Ragnar getting killed)
>The orcs were pushed back to the portal.
>Fifteen years have passed since then, and the surviving orcs have ben rounded into concentration camps (humans beating child orcs with battons, Thrall is watching)
>This is their story
It's shit, desu senpai, and it's so reasonable.
>>344686281
>Skipping Warcraft 2
Why. Even the canon version is just Doomhammer wank. It is even explicitly stated in several wow lorebooks INGAME that the orcish Horde lost the second war because Gul'dan fucked off and betrayed everyone.
>>344682469
Is this bait? Lothar was already in the lore.
>>344686561
>Alone in the Dark
>Bad
Well you can go FUCK YOURSELF, now can't you?
>>344686561
I would arge about the SIlent Hill movie. While its true the story was a complete mess, they used a lot of references to the games, like camera movement and such. Their implemented monsters and scenarios had proper meaning too.
Also the Street Fighter movie was glorious, move up that shit.
>>344687000
Why the fuck is Guldan a warrior?
He's an old warlock
>>344687105
>Their implemented monsters and scenarios had proper meaning too.
>pyramid head
>proper meaning in SH movie
>>344687228
He wasn't always old. And I assume this is a show of force, to show the orcs that the fel blood makes you stronger.
The only part of the Warcraft movie that worked was Gul'dan. Everything else was a never-ending cavalcade of cringe, starting from the miscarriage 2 minutes into the movie with characters we were just introduced to.
The only relatable character was a giant brown orc in a movie full of humans.
>>344687228
Because orc disputes are settled by beating the shit out of eachother with their bare hands so ya gotta be swole if you wanna lead
>>344687228
He was challenged to Mak'gora.
And cheated.
>>344686561
>Retribution
>good
wew
Nigger that ain't Postal.
>>344687279
Meaning new monsters faggot, not existing ones. We all know PH is just there because the guy that wrote the plot had no idea what the fuck was going on in his own work.
>>344687228
He's not. He resorted to cheating with fel once it became clear Durotan was the better fighter.
>>344686281
There's a few things they could do to make WC2 appealing to the general masses and the casual WC fans.
>Alleria and Turalyon as Tumblr shipping fodder that's at least canon
>Forming of the Silver Hand featuring recognizable names like Tirion and Uther
>Literally everything that happens at Blackrock Mountain
>"These truly are the Tides of Darkness"
What I think is going to be more difficult is fitting in the whole story of Beyond the Dark Portal with Sons of Lothar and their expedition into Draenor. Could they simply allude to it? Would it justify having it's own movie? Would it suffer the same issues that the Hobbit movies did with padding time?
>>344678846
Yes.

>>344687608
Watching the scene it felt more like he was gonna win anyways but it was gonna take forever and he had to get to the portal
>>344687228
Watch the movie, he's sucking souls left and right, these ruler fist fights are just "no magic allowed" but he uses it anyway.
>>344687460
>Mak'gora, a near religious tradition amongst the Orcs
>Guldan not only cheats at it, he all but spit all over it when he demanded Lothar's head even though he won that fight HARD.
>Orcs still follow him en masse and wont break free for several decades
Wut
>>344686561
That someone made a shitty image?
Warcraft sure as hell doesn't understand the original game as source material, and it barely manages to understand the rewritten story elements, to the point that details are explained with 'it's an alternate universe so things like flying Dalaran is okay!'. The movie isn't very good either, though at this point I'm willing to believe that's because the live action humans just don't fucking work with it.
>>344687000
This webm actually shows even more of the lack of understanding. Gul'dan was part of the shadow council, evil warlocks who controlled the horde from the shadows and not openly. Why the fuck is Gul'dan openly in any position of power where someone would actually challenge him to an honor duel in the first place?
Name a better vidya movie
>>344678846
Why did someone paint that normally looking human green?
>>344688093
Duncan Jones literally said he had to simplify everything to make it understandable for normies.
Really don't think the people hating on the Warcraft movie have actually seen it, I thought it was pretty good and I'd definitely see a sequel to it, it didn't even look as shit as these screenshots, all cgi movies look weird when they're not moving

>>344682767
I like Silent Hill because it doesn't feel like a cheap piece of shit like every other video game movie. Even Warcraft at a $160 million dollar budget looks like cheap garbage 90% of the time

>>344682767
I thought the Silent Hill movie was pretty meh when I first saw it.
But after SH Revelations I had a sudden newfound appreciation for the first film. It at least made an attempt at capturing the game's lonely atmosphere.
>>344692240
Did they give it the same tragic twist that Sands of Time had?
>>344687995

>>344686942
yea but he was actuallly pretty good in the movie
>>344682767
>>344693767
the only good thing about that movie was the general look of it, it really looks like silent hill.
but thats oit, it only "looks" because and character are all fucking abominations
Why yes, I did enjoy Mortal Kombat a lot, thank you.
>>344678846
nah its was shit but i took a girl to it on our first date and im still going out with her so still good memories.
>>344694385
One of you will dump the other
>>344682767
I can't believe how many people decided to dislike this movie when it's the only video game movie I'm not ashamed to watch with my family. The story is great, and the use of the characters, IN A MOVE remind you, was perfect. It had it's own sense of dread to it, but in regards of using silent hill for movie content, it did a wonderful job.
>>344694081The prince was able to save Farah, but doing so took him back to before he met her and erases her memories of having ever cared for him. So their adventures together are essentially dismissed as a story he made up.
>>344687228
Because even if you are a nerd you still have to fight with your fists like an orc should
>>344694081He reverses time and returns to the day before they besiege the Maharajah's palace to warn the princess of the Vizier's treachery, but in doing so erases the events that caused them to form a romantic bond in the first place.
>>344694575
>>344694738
Considering the movie has fuck-all to do with the vidya, they managed to keep it. Of course it's the exact opposite of tragic and everyone lived happily ever after
>>344682767
>>344694538
I give the SH film some props for the ending. For all the changes to the story I didn't care for, I still found the closing scenes surprisingly haunting.

>>344694738
They get back together in the third game though, so happy end.

>>344694942
I liked how Laika brought the girl who played Cheryl in the movie back to play the persecuted witch in Paranorman.
>>344678846
To me, watching the movie with no overall opinions, I found it to be extremely exhausting to watch and horribly put together.
Here's my 3 major problems.
No character was distinguishable from another outside of physical characteristics. I attempted making an evaluation of their personalities but couldn't find any way to describe any of them. On top of that, as a white dude, all the white dudes in this movie look exactly alike and it's silly that they would do that. On top of that, their REALLY weren't any other races besides showing dwarves in two scenes and some others as slaves???? The world felt so simple, yet nothing was properly explained to those who are learning about Warcraft for the first time
The plotline was there, but what the fuck was the pacing they decided to take? Why not have more development then "I MAY B UR ONLY SON, BUT IM SOLDIER SO THAT MEANS IM GONNA DIE" or some orc women explaining she can speak english because she heard prisoners speak english even though she has an extremely good understanding of the langauge.
The worst issue is the action happens all within the last 15 minutes of the movie, and at that point I just don't give a shit what's going on. had they put the wizard battle somewhere in the middle and moved a few things around it would have been better.
The simplest way they could have solved all these issues was making the plot of the first movie into 2.
Being generous, I'd give this a 5.5/10
>>344695515
Apologies for any grammar issues. I went through and added a few things here and there that I though I should mention.
What do you think of this?
>>344695515
>>344695859
The first war (the setting of the movie) had only orcs and humans going at it. Humans of Stormwind got shitstomped hard because they were all alone and formed the Alliance afterwards with other human kingdoms and races. Orcs invaded Azeroth because demons manipulated them after they had done genociding the draenei (who are exile aliens that fled their own demon-infested world with satan on their tails) and subjugating the ogre empires. There shouldn't be ANY races other than orcs, humans, ogres and draenei in any role of any significance.
Honestly, it should be like a 3 hour movie if you want to explain all the built-up lore
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ABEtiYz.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
>>344682469
hold up
is that Ragnar Lothbrok?
Pitch Black was the first good game movie.
>>344696671
I wouldn't have minded that honestly. I'm aware that they took the story of this from the book series (Or I was told they had), but the way the scenes were placed felt really poorly done. I'm hoping the next movie in the series will fix any of the issues of the first, as I see it possible for WoW lore to make an interesting movie.
>>344697075
They already fucked up any possible sequels by excluding or changing events
>>344678846
Of course I enjoyed the first good game movie, anon - the ostrich race is one of my favorite parts
>>344682767
This COULD have been the best game movie if not for two reasons: that shitty little girl and fucking studio interfering fuckwit who said "a man caring about a lost daughter is unbelievable." We could've had a full movie of Sean Bean as Harry Mason in the best Silent Hill setting possible.
I ain't even mad about Pyramid Head - he's the iconic figure from the series, even if that isn't his story. Maybe have toned down his Darth Vader epic villainy a little and just made him an executioner at the behest of the powers behind the town like the photo in the game's historical society indicated.
But, man, setting Silent Hill in WV (which really is foggy as fuck and abandoned as Hell in parts) and mixing Centralia-style mine fires into the lore... that shit was BRILLIANT.
>>344697702
I thought Silent Hill was already CANONICALLY based on a town in that area, right?
>>344679597

Super Mario Bros. is pretty fun, not perfect, but what you're gonna do.
>>344686561
>Mario and Doom on ''doesn't understand''
That's debatable IMO, they hinted at hell during the Doom movie, and the Mario movie to an extent has the Mario theme of taking a bunch of shit that has no connection what-so-ever (Mushrooms, Turtles and Plumbers) and making them work(Dinosaurs, Mad Max settings and Plumbers)

While I didn't really like the reason given for replacing Harry's concerned paternal role with his wife, I don't think that reversing the male and female leads in the film would have automatically improved everything about the plot.

You know, I'm kind of surprised that news on the Mass Effect movie all but disappeared rather than cashing in on the trilogy's hype.

I have yet to see a game movie that gets the game feel as good as this one. First and probably only time Uwe Boll would be the best person to handle a movie

>>344702497
I don't even live in a migrant threatened country and now I'm curious about this movie
remember that Assasins creed is going to happen soon
>>344703058
Just tell her Garona is your waifu, or that dead dad McfrostwolfxLothar OTP.

>mom overhears some political intrigue when I'm watching GoT
>she gets interested because she primarily studied Shakespeare in college
>she now watches all the new episodes with me as they come out
>she has yet to make even one comment about sex scenes
It honestly feels weirder that she says nothing at all

>>344703058
you should ask her which chinese cartoons she likes to watch
>>344689238
...Thats it?
As in, the final fight in the movie? Are you serious? Is that the whole thing?
>>344703786
>trying to get friends to read asoiaf
>none of them are able to look beyond the show
>>344704829
I gave up on that endevour long ago. I can barely get half my friends to sit through the show because "oh my god I think I'm gonna fall asleep".
>>344704829
>Implying normals read anything but YA fiction and FOTM trash
That being said Song of Ice and Fire is pretty entry level, but people insist on being stupid.
>>344701165
Well now I definitely need to watch this movie. Thought it was just going to be Adaptation Of Popular Culture To Movie #4375 and I was never interested, but this made me curious.
It was pretty decent.
Should have cut all the mediocre Hollywood romance scenes and all the Orc baby ones and it would be a strong 8/10 dumb action flick.
>>344705465
>Song of Ice and Fire is pretty entry level
Popularity =/= accessibility
aSoIaF is fuckin dense compared to a lot of other contemporary fantasy. Yes, even the other adult-oriented ones.
>>344706983
It's dense and long but it's not really that hard to get into. Worst offense it makes is to quickly segue back to characters you may have forgotten about if you didn't read the books quickly.
>>344682767
I also enjoyed this, I liked the way they combined the story of all 3 games into one
>>344689783
TWO movies, anon.
>>344700138
>tron
>videogame movie
anon
>>344700493
>the goldeneye movie was based on the n64 game
Surely this is bait
>>344705465
>Song of Ice and Fire is pretty entry level
Not sure if agree, but any recommendations?
I find it very hard to find fantasy series where I care about any of the characters.
>>344702379
The complaints would start the second they named a canon love interest. And backstory. And gender. And personality.
>>344678846
Mortal Kombat kicked ass! And fuck you, I like Super Mario Brothers
>>344708181
Assassin's Apprentice and Gardens of the Moon are great of you like good prose and epic fantasy, respectively. Folks over at /lit/ are much better at this than I am, even if they are a bit elitist.
>>344708916
>Mortal Kombat kicked ass!
Yes it did.

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!
Fuck adaptions. Games should stay games, movies should stay movies. Tired of plot elements or characterization being thrown out on the whims of actors and executives.
>>344687000
RULES OF NATURE
>>344709046
Cheers.
I've heard both good and bad on Gardens of the Moon. Well written for some, bloated with unnecessary detail for others. I should probably just take the plunge.
>>344678846
> WC probably won't get a proper sequel
> Meanwhile Fembusters will star it's own cinematic universe
Thanks Merrica
>>344709739
>Wanting a Warcraft sequel
Yeah, can't wait for Thrall, Illidan and Kael'thas looking and sounding nothing like their game counterparts.
>>344709252
There are definitely some elements of storytelling that only work in the medium that they were conceived.
But I wouldn't completely rule out the inspirations that different mediums have had on each other. Granted things like a good movie-based game or game-based movie is definitely the exception, rather than the rule.
>>344709576
It's pretty much the modern posterboy of epic fantasy, so take that as you will.
>>344709882
True, adventure games break the mold a bit here mostly because they are text heavy.
>>344708181
Dune
The Nantucket Series
>>344708050
i would say tron being a videogame movie is a grey area. but theres one thing im sure of: i loved this movie.
>>344710146
>Dune
Sci-fi? He asked for fantasy.
>>344708181
>I find it very hard to find fantasy series where I care about any of the characters.
Here i'll recommend you a few good ones.
>Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind
>The Forging of the Shadows by Oliver Johnson
>Thraxas/Thraxas and the Warrior Monks by Martin Scott
>Going Postal by Terry Pratchett
>The Changing Land by Roger Zelazny
>>344685798
Wouldn't it be this since we had that "cliffhanger" at the end?
>>344680713
No, Max, it was bad.
>>344710146
>>344710951
>Sci-fi? He asked for fantasy
Either/or. Just a decent conflict and a developed cast I can actually get interested in.
Tried Name of the Wind and Gentleman Bastards and the protagonists kind of killed it for me.
>recommendations.
Appreciate it.
>>344710951
>The Changing Land by Roger Zelazny
*The Changing Land is a Locus Award nominated fantasy novel written by Roger Zelazny, first published in 1981. The novel resolves the storyline from the various Dilvish, the Damned short stories (collected in 1982 as Dilvish, the Damned.)*
Perfect taste in fantasy my friend,Thraxas and The Forging of the Shadows are awesome too.
>>344688320
That's why the whole idea of making the movie in the first place was a bad idea, desu. It was still too complicated for the normies as it was now, but it was dumbed down too much to appeal to the fans. Nobody besides the retards in China were happy with it
>>344700462
They should've just had Harry Mason in the town and cut out the whole investigative plot in the first place, considering it ended up adding nothing to the movie.
>>344686561
Since when is the super mario bros movie considered good? I though everyone hated that abomination.
>>344686561
The Wing Commander movie is funny, since the guy who made the games directed the movie, but it's also true.
What happened, Chris? What the FUCK happened?
>>344714842
>the guy who made the game directed the movie
Honestly I could see this working in some casesToo bad pic related couldn't direct AC since Ubisoft fucked him over so hard
>>344700178
>>344700338
I remember hearing something about the elements telling Thrall to fuck off for cheating and he gives the Doomhammer to shamans because he can't use it anymore.
Hes probably going to go home and become a family man instead of dying.
