How low can it go? :(
>>82302025
Why is it so bad?
What did they do wrong?
>>82303665
Needs more Jak and Daxter.
has there ever been a good movie adaptation of a video game?
>>82303665
Only twenty one reviews. hardly enough to make a valid score.
>>82303698
Wreck-It Ralph
>>82303698
Mortal Kombat
>>82303665
Not enough political commentary about how evil conservatives and white people are.
>>82303665
it doesn't begin with a Disney or Pixar logo
>>82304028
Stop using RT as an indicator of quality.
The game is fucking good that is really all that matters. If one IP was going to redeem the video game movie it would never be rachet and clank sadly.
Oh, I was thinking this'd be a lot higher.
>>82304060
AND YET HERE WE ARE IN A THREAD WHERE THAT'S HAPPENING
GO FIGURE
>>82304083
Not a bad flick, just too whitewashed.
>>82302025

I don't want to be the one of us to have to go in case I don't like it.

Hey I'm sorry Batman vs. Superman didn't do so well with critics but you gotta move on, man
>>82302025
How much higher would this score be if it said "Disney" on it.
>>82304374
>RT scores
Lul
Can you explain how RT works?
Because I think you don't actually know
http://www.metro.us/entertainment/ratchett-clank-is-a-joyless-and-derivative-off-brand-toon/zsJpdB---HYEveXCWzpk/
>Qwark, too, is a knockoff, or at least strongly reminiscent of “Futurama”’s Zapp Brannigan, right down to his declarative speaking voice and yen for venality and cowardice. Naturally he’s not in the same galaxy as good old Zap — barely a sketch of a joke of a character.
Not realizing Zapp Brannigan is a parody of Shatner (and to a lesser extent Captain Kirk)...Not instantlly making that connection undermines the whole point of your argument.
I'll never understand the Normie culture. How can anyone be so sure of their opinion and know so little...
>>82304374
Behold, the BVS fanboy strikes back!
>>82304451
It looks like a film by Sky studios or whatever it's called. They made the movie about the robot and Igor.

http://www.flickfilosopher.com/2016/04/ratchet-clank-movie-review-wretched-and-junk.html
This is the most painfully retarded review I have ever read. I'm not going to defend this movie because it probably is shit, but just read this shit.
>>82304374
It's all good until they give a movie you liked a bad score.
>>82303884
But Wreck-It-Ralph isn't an adaptation of a video game
>>82304553
>>82304491
>>82304445
BvS was bad. As was Man of Steel.
This does not excuse Marvel Studios or Force Awakens, I'm sorry my friends.
>>82304028
It's still a good movie adaptation of the game by any criteria. Just not a great movie.
>>82304253
but Speed Racer was fucking solid.
Not a 10/10 masterpiece but not the 39% RT gave it.
You can't trust RT scores man...
>>82304680
my nigga
>>82304680
Speed Racer is the best non-Bound thing the Wachowski's have ever made. Fucking love that movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG3rq-M7uMc
>>82303820
your right it will go even lower
>>82304680
You do realize that 39% refers to the amount of reviewers who gave it a "Fresh" rating and not an average of 39%?
Fresh is 75% upwards.
Do you think that Speed Racer is 7/10?
Then fucking bang on, you actually rated it just as high as 60% of the reviewers RT count.
Jesus people, learn how shit works.
>>82304083
I still can't believe Jake Gyllenhaal actually did that.
>>82303665
can tell by the trailer and a few clips. cheap as fuck. same voice acting as the game.
>>82304809
People get confused and think Rotten Tomatoes is Metacritic
>>82303907
wah huh?
>>82304888
RT keeps an average of the reviews they counted too, but nobody looks at it.
>>82304809
Most people know who the tomato-o-meter works.
But did you know that it's actually an incredibly fucking stupid aggregate system and that it's crown status in nerd communities is completely unearned and cancerous?
>the film of the least popular member of the sony trio did less than 25%
For once, I agree with Rotten tomatoes. There is hope for man yet.
>>82304954
>that it's crown status in nerd communities is completely unearned and cancerous?
Why?
>>82304169
>white washed
>/tumblr>>>>
>>82304028
RT doesn't appreciate superior shitty B movies
>>82304028
I hated how they fucked up scorpion and reptile with CGI as a kid but I fucking love the song that I still listen to it everyday
>>82305025
White washing is a thing that happens dude. It's not Tumblr's fault you don't want to notice.
>>82304978
because it's scored by plebs who have incredibly skewered and easy standards. The easy to please hurr durr internet masses who literally get score based on the hype and not the film itself.
>>82304551
>2 sentences in and it's already SJW propaganda
I'm out
>>82304978
Because when you have an aggregate that comes to a consensus based on binary pass/fail reviews (with no real consistency, a 3/5 review can be either a pass or a fail for no reason given), paints a completely incomplete picture. Movies that are competently made, but with absolutely no originality, insight, or intrigue can float to a high 90% on a tidal wave of mostly tepid reviews.
Do you think it's position is well earned? Do you think the RT trolling on this board has actually enriched critical discussion of movies?
>>82305111
>because it's scored by plebs who have incredibly skewered and easy standards
And who are they?
Do you think they're hired by RT?
You don't have a problem with critics.
You have a problem with all critics.
>>82304215
It's out tomorrow I think.
>>82304809
Can we talk about how retarded that system is though? Why not just make it like every other review site?
>>82305188
>You have a problem with all critics.
Well most critics are incredibly fucking stupid, and most critics cited by the tomato-o-meter are people who simply enjoy movies with a blog. But, no the issue is actually the tomato-o-meter in this case.
>>82304883
>cheap as fuck. same voice acting as the game.
That should be a positive motherfucker
>>82304883
>same voice acting as the game.
why the fuck is that a problem
>>82305202
Because it isn't about rating.
It's about "Should I go see it?"
75% was the arbitrary number to say "I should go see this.
So if it's fresh, go see it.
Just one check that's all that's all that needed.
At least that's the idea.
>>82305188
I have a problem with newspaper film snobs and blog mommys reviewing shit they don't care about. I wouldn't take recommendations from these people for comics or cartoons or vidya or anything I like. Would you? why?
It's the equivalent of the academy members at the Oscars saying... ''I picked Forzen, didn't watch but my kids liked it''
>>82304304
Go look at the RT for Space Balls.
>>82304551
why the fuck did they go off on a tangent for half the review complaining that ratchet and clank are male which somehow sends a bad message to female viewers
>>82304883
How is that a bad thing? The Ratchet and Clank games have great voice acting.
The film is legitmately shit though.
>game's trademark humor is replaced with generic shit for moviegoers
>Ratchet does almost no fighting
>less characters
>orginal game VAS
Basically, the game is more or less a R&C1 remake. This movie tries way to hard to be a "reimagining"
>>82304963
>Ratchet and Clank
>Least popular
Doesn't the series have more games than both Jak and Daxter and Sly combined?
>>82305098
Please prove these changes are made due to racism and not in favor of $$$
Protip: you can't
>>82305447
It's a hot topic, and they're not creative enough to make an interesting review without referring to the hot button issue of the moment.
>>82304551
>I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
>I’m “biast” (con): never hopeful about based-on-videogame movies
>I'm ''biast'

>>82302025
I'll go see it and even make a review pastebin.
I had assumed it would be bad from the fact that the trailer put more emphasis on the celebrity voices and barely even acknowledge the two main characters.
>>82305333
That is the idea. That's not what people use RT for at all, and RT itself goes to great lengths to obfuscate this.
RTs only use as a website is "Hey is this movie a complete dumpster fire?" and even then it's not always successful on that front since a lot of deeply flawed, yet challenging movies end up with similar ratings to a Kevin James movie. It's a shit system, and the fact that it's basically used as a nexus for nerd communities to arbitrate what a good movie is the most noxious shit imaginable.
I heard the game is stellar at least. That gives me hope.
>>82305778
This. I don't need a good Ratchet & Clank movie if I have a stellar game
>>82304680
Agreed.
>>82302025
Read this list. See the adaptations? Now read the years they were made.
>>82305111
Ben-Hur and Shawshank are both deserving of those ratings though.
>>82305111
>TFA has 92%
Jesus the public really are easily pleased.
>Handing a video game movie to a no name studio like rainmaker
See, that was their first problem. Also retconning the first game and throwing in Dr. Nefarious in the first games plot line for no fucking reason.
>>82304809
>Fresh is 75% upwards.
Whoa, what?
I knew how the RT score worked, but I thought Fresh was anything about 5/10. If the cut-off is 7.5/10, then 3/5 stars would still count as rotten, which is just silly.
>>82306763
I thought it was 60%.
And we're down to 14% on RT now for this.
>>82302025
>Kick Some Asteroid
It was doomed from the start.
>>82304083
Oddly enough, this was in the 60%s at first I believe. The reviews came in slowly at first when it was released
>>82306816
but those puns/innuendos have been a part of R&C since the 2nd game.
>>82306472
The implication that a mediocre, nostalgia-bait movie like SW shouldn't be as rated as highly as anything on the lower half.
And that is correct.
>>82304215
Movies always come out on Thursday where I'm from, so I've had the chance to actually see it. And honestly I'm surprised its getting shat on so hard. Now the movie is by no means perfect, I'll get this out of the way. Some jokes fall flat, they could've done a better job establishing Ratchet and Clank as friends. But plenty of other jokes are pretty good, the movie is visually very appealing i think they handled outside of the problem i pointed out between Ratchet and Clank the general characterizations are pretty good, i especially liked Quark (well, except for one joke).
>>82302025death row
>>82306682
92 percent of people probably rated it between 6-10. I personally enjoyed it very much. Then again, I was a huge sucker for the dynamic camera during starship battles in the film.
>>82306297
>15 years since Lara Croft
>Did not even make twice as much as Mortal Kombat made 6 years before it.
Wow. Fuck this gay earth.
>>82303665

Rule of thumb.
You can never trust Rotten Tomatoes scores.Even my friends believe me.
>>82303895
>Mortal Kombat.
>They ruined best ninja.
No Anon.
>>82304028
That score should be lower.
>not just posting positive reviews on RT yourself

Has anyone here seen what scores those reviews gave it? Maybe most of the negative ones are just under the minimum to be Fresh.
>Forcing in new characters for the sake of having celebrity actors
>Removing any ark Ratchet has as a character to make him a marketable boy scout
>Nefarious gets shoehorned into the story, without Lawrence I might add,and ends up stealing the spot of villain from Drek
Playing the game made me realize the movie was fucked, it also doesn't help that foreign releases are getting really shit dubs with cheap actors
>take video game series that has grit and humor marketed towards teens/young adults
>make a movie thats dumbed down even for children and includes cliches that people were sick of 10 years ago
Why is anyone surprised? Sony should just stop making movies.
>>82305111
You don't know how Rotten Tomatoes works.
>>82304635
This.
Calling Wreck-It-Ralph a video game adaptation is like saying the same about Tron just because there is a version of Snake in it.
The closest anyone ever got to good video game movies are stuff like Pokémon which
1) Aren't that good
2) Are made for kids, and
3) Came out simultaneously with the games as a joint project, so they're only as much based on the game as 2001: A Space Odyssey is based on the book.
>>82303907
hitting the nail on the head
>>82302025
I think better superhero films than video game films. That is right?

Sadly this.

>>82306682
It was feel-good garbage.
The public tends to ignore the "garbage" aspect.
>>82305513
It was changed to make more money cause people were racist. It isn't mutually exclusive. Americans hate anything from the Middle East that isn't oil or Israel.
>>82304646
>mfw contrarian edgemasters spend time on 4chan pretending that good and popular movies beloved by fans and critics alike are bad
>>82308256
I saw that and I can say that 8 is richly deserved. They pretend it's going to be an alternate history thing (which would be cool) but then they abandon that premise after the opening exposition in favor of D'Nesh D'Souza talking about boring shit and stroking his ego for two hours.
>>82308256
why are conservatives so talentless in general?
>>82310724
>using the words "good" and "bad" like they are objective qualities

>>82310791
They aren't, they just put it to use making money in jobs that matter instead of puffing out art pieces and pretending they matter.
>>82310802

>>82310919
Nah man, D'Nesh D'Souza really is shit.
>>82306862
That doesn't make it sound any better.
>>82310897So does Sly
>>82304083
Im still annoyed with how they handled it. Just because it was in the middle east they had to make it a commentary on the war on terror. It was so hamfisted in what was otherwise just a pretty ok adventure flick
>>82303665
It looks like a pretty average movie. Jokes aren't really funny, gimmicky weapons don't really matter if you can't shoot them.
Basically it looks like a movie written for six year olds with no greater appeal to older demographics.
And I say this as a HUGE fan of the games.
>>82310997
Thats what I was afraid would happen. Dammit that sucks.
I knew it being PG was a bad sign. I mean I know the future series was E10+ but still.
>>82304883
>same voice acting as the game.
>this is a problem
Okay I've never played the games but from this alone:
It just seemed. You know. Like, mediocre. Hardly heard anything about it- a whopping ONE trailer ever in theaters and...well it looks like it could have been direct to DVD and receive the same results.
>>82311327
The games are much better than this movie looks.
>>82303665
It's a 90 minuite video game cutscene. And it's unskipable.
>>82304028
>>82302025
Can we please stop using RT as some definitive version of what's good or bad? Yeah, the movie will probably be shit but instead of going off some critics I couldn't give two shits about I'll go off what people I know IRL think or if I really really have to I'll gamble $15 if I'm genuinely excited based off the promotional shit (which I'm not in this case). The same people who use a RT score as some sort of psuedo-emperical evidence of quality are the same people to disregard it when they give the opposite opinion of theirs on another movie.
>>82304470
We all know hot it works. We know that 19% means 19% of critics gave it a good review and that's exactly what he means and if you're not literally autistic you know that, you pedantic faggot. Literally everyone knows it's not some single entity giving the review.
>>82310897
WHAT
>>82311610
>7.7
but that's an accurate score for frozen
I feel extra bad for anyone who worked on the original having to see this now, must be disappointing
>>82304680
>>82304756
This and John Carter Needs A LOT more love
>>82311688At one scene Clank is analysing Ratchet because he doesn't recognise his species from his database. We get a shot through Clank's eyes as he goes over a series of different aliens: two images shown off are Daxter and Sly Cooper
Just got back from it.
REALLY don't see what all the hate is for. I mean, it wasn't AMAZING, but I had fun with it. Perfectly serviceable. I thought it was fun.
My only problems were I think it could've been funnier and I think the new Galactic Rangers felt a little tacked on, kind of unnecessary.The showdown between Qwark and Nefarious was fun.
Again, not a masterpiece, but fuck you, I liked it.
Now to play the game.
>>82305111
What >>82308018 said. RT scores don't represent the "average rating" of a movie. It represents the percentage of critics that gave a positive review.
A movie that gets all "it's decent" reviews will theoretically get a 100, while a movie that gets all "not good, but not terrible" will get a 0. The reviews aren't saying Star Wars is just as good as those other movies, it's saying that most critics viewed Star Wars positively just like how they viewed the movies on the bottom positively.
>>82302025
FUCK
This was supposed to be the year..
Warcraft is the only hope for video game movies now.
Now the Sly Cooper movie probably won't ever be made.
>>82311857The one liner joke was one of the better jokes in the movie
>>82311891
>Warcraft is the only hope for video game movies now.
We're doomed.
>>82311940
dont forget ass creed
>>82311959
I didn't.
I didn't even know this was a thing until a few days ago. It was the only ad I've seen.
>>82302025
The main problem with every video game movie is that they try to adapt a plot that was already told in the game. Video games don't follow a three act structure and a lot of elements that connect cutscenes come from the gameplay and players choices so cramming what like 10 to 20 hours of gameplay/story in a 90 minute movie is already makes the film dead on arrival.
I do wonder how the series will move on, the movie seems to be heading for a flop but the game has been received well both critically and commercially.
>>82311891
>Warcraft is the only hope for video game movies now.
Ass Creed will most likely be better.
Honestly, the game was bad too. Too focused on the Quark/Ratchet relationship but without any of the plot elements, villains doing things with motivations explained in gameplay voiceovers, and being switched out at whim. The locales were right but attempts to fit in parts of the old games were too haphazardly attached around the movie storyline. It scraps the reason Clank and Ratchet trust each other outside of a few hours seperated cutscenes which probably meshed better in the movie but don't here because they're six planets apart.
It's a movie tie-in game, and while it's decidedly Ratchet and Clank gameplay, the problem is obvious cut corners, linearity in some places and lost oppurtunities in others. Gaspar and Pokitaru seem like good ideas on expanding planets, but others seem like just rehashes because they were in the old game. Gotta have the Blargian Snagglebeast, gotta have Skid McMarx, but make his uncle the mayor of Novalis for... reasons. Cutscenes were either movie quality shots or just Fallout 4 level dialogue videos.
It was too short and too trimmed down, but it just didn't have the fun and cohesive story the Future games had added or the real exploration it promised. It's a shame because Sony is known to be fickle with franchises, but it's really not worth the money.
>>82311760
John Carter would've been better if the guy playing him had more screen presence. Other than that, it was an enjoyable film
>>82311891
>Now the Sly Cooper movie probably won't ever be made.
I think it's still full steam ahead in terms of production.They better get Carmelita Fox right.
>>82310724
I'm going to sound like a blowhard retard because I'm saying this on the comics board (I come here for cartoon nostalgia) but
Capeshit should be kept in comic books. It's really a cancer to the film industry and studios would rather sink money into it than give an independent filmmaker financing. It's insultingly lazy and safe.

>>82306687
I have no problem with them using Dr Nefarious. if anything, the new characters they introduced didnt really add anything. if they just focused on using the other R&C characters it wouldve helped.
that and not playing it safe with the same scifi story we've seen a dozen times.
>>82303665
"What the fuck, there's no talking animals in this? It has action and isn't just a pure comedy? I don't know what this is but it isn't animation. Stay away."
Get ready for them to say the same thing about Kubo and the Two Strings
>>82312434
This was one of my problems too. The new Galactic Rangers felt kinda tacked on. I didn't HATE them, but they didn't really do much.
But I thought it was fun, I think the hate's blown way out of proportion.
>>82312238
i thought the game was fine. to me its slightly better than the first one, because if you play the first one, it has its promise but also alot of problems too. the new one has its own fair share of problems, but I had decent fun with it, and changes, for the most part, were fine. but fuck the hoverboard races.
i do have a problem that the story in the remake is pretty fractured. the original game's story wasnt anything special, but it flowed decent enough. the Remake is just composed of movie clip, cutscenes, Qwark's recounting, all while tryig to be straightforward and cohesive. and, it doesnt work, mostly because it wants you to watch the movie to fill in the pieces a bit. if they played more with the fact that Qwark is retelling the story, and got more outlandish and embracing the concept, the fragmentation mightve felt more intentional than just awkward to me. I hope someone gets what im trying to say

I was not expecting a masterpiece,, but a least something to gave me faith that a videogame movie could be done right. And i felt this tried a lot, but seeing all these reviews just bummed me out a lot. We probably won't have a sequel that could build from the first movies's shortcomings to fix it, and now the hope remains in the Warcraft movie (which doesn't look good) and the apparently-in-the-making Assasin's Creed (The game's plot is already stupid enough, the movie is gonna be worse)
Maybe my tastes are complete and utter shit; Probably given I didn't hate age of Ultron as much as other people.

Yeah, but the Force Awakens also has better or equal average ratings to all of those movies.
>>82310853
yeah but they're the only ones. actually i didnt know about the cerebus guy. didnt he kinda go off the deep end with grimness?
i guess the answer is because art is about looking past the bullshit and trying to think of things in new ways. now that the ultra liberals have taken over, we're sure to see a lot of great new conservative creatives in the next generation or so.

Late reply sorry.
I get the first part but I don't understand why you couldn't share your love for Carmelita on here before unless you're specifically talking about femdom. Regardless of the specifics, I'm happy to have made you feel better and more comfortable about it!
Care to share more if you're still here?
>>82303698
I thought that Silent Hill was decent.
>>82313131
>if that have been shown in theater it'd have probably be as panned as R&C is being right now.
It was panned back then too. The Compilation of FFVII was pretty much a disaster and the best thing to come out of it was Crisis Core
>>82311610
Frozen was bretty gud though, brah.
>>82304083
Holy shit, is that Donnie Darko?
>>82304680
Speed Racer greatest crime is that it was an adaption of a 70's anime. It completely reveled in its source material, and It was actually what it advertised itself to be Speed Racer in live action.
>>82310791
Free thinking is shunned In Christianity. Doesn't make for good movies
Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence were always my favourite characters in R&C with some of the best jokes. I just don't have all that much interest in a movie without them...
>>82315834
Nefarious is in it, but it's before he met Lawrence.
>>82304809
>>82306763
No, reviewers post their reviews to RT and select if it counts as fresh or rotten.
>>82313070
This was just boring for the most part.
Already people in this thread who don't understand that just because they enjoyed or found the movie fun doesn't preclude it from being a bad movie. Same people posting here about how you shouldn't listen to critics, of course.
>>82316157
Yeah this
I enjoy Nicolas Cage as an actor but I fully admit he's been in some garbage
People always seem to be afraid of having "shit taste" and always obsess over only wanting the best and that's not a healthy way to look at or consume media
>>82306763
That's what some people who were complaint about BvS reviews are mad about.
Apparently the 3/5 reviews are listed as rotten but I never went to go check for myself
>>82304215
There was one anon in another thread who said it was decent. It wasn't amazing but they liked it (they also hadn't actually played R&C, I think)
>>82303665
there's not been a good videogame movie (or at least, a critically avclaimed) videogame movie in history. they've all failed for one fundamental reason.
that reason is they're not interactive. what makes Hitman work, for example, is how it gives you the option of how to kill your target and pretty much free reign from thereon in. Taking away all the choice turns even the most well-made adaptation of that into a ninety minute let's-play with no commentary. basically the same thing goes for all the other videogame movies.
>>82316413
Video games that try to be like movies, however?
They tend to be successful, much to the chagrin of "hardcore" gamers.
This ranges from cutscene-heavy games like The Last of Us to literal interactive movies like Until Dawn.
>>82316464
speaking of TLOU
>TLOU movie currently in development hell
Good riddance
>>82304883
Not really. Movie has Giamatti and Stallone
Eh, who cares? The movies basically an ad for the game series at this point.
Presumably, Insomniac was paid a flat fee for this property kind of like what Marvel gets for FOX Marvels films or Authors get for adaptations, so regardless of it's performance they got their money. SONY has virtually nothing to do with the movie so it's success isn't important to their bottom line. And the movie has such a low full release that most people who hate it will forget about it and or not hold it against the games.
>>82316464
This fact always makes me sad, real video games are going the way of the dodo and people are praising mediocrity because it's all they can get.
>>82305111
>The Matrix
>7.6/10
Ludicrous.
>>82316845
Actually Insomniac had been begging Sony to green light a R&C film for years before Rainmaker stepped in
So it's really fucking sad to see that they fought for years to get this made and the final product is a fucking bland mess that's just better as a game
>Mfw thinking about the casting
I get bringing in A-listers to your animated movie for star power. Mulan had Eddie Murphy, Aladdin had Robin Williams and Moana will have Dwayne Johnson
But they replaced voice acting god Kevin Michael Richardson as the baddie Drek with a phoning it in Paul Giammatti. Why? Paul's a solid actor but he has no real star power. No parent is going to drag their kid to this to see Paul fucking Giammati. And there's no way Paul's asking price was cheaper than Kevin's so what the fuck?
And don't even get me started on Bella Thrones bullshit as Cora. The only new cast members who seemed to give a damn were Rosario Dawson as Elaris and Dean Redman as Brax. The returning cast are all solid too but that was expected.
>>82317004
Oh, I'm sure they wanted a movie, I just don't think it'll hurt them financially at least I hope it doesn't. They're one of the few successful mid-sized american game studios left.
>>82304680
The only thing bad about Speed Racer was the kid. If they toned him down it would have been perfect. Killer film regardless.
>>82303665
Not Disney or Marvel
>>82304883
What I've noticed is the big name actors apart from Paul Giamatti were shocking. Sylvester's dumbass evil voice was stupid as shit. Bella Thorne doesn't even know how to act.

What about Angry Birds?
>>82313826How's this for a late reply?
On femdom:
I was bullied a lot in elementary and middle school. I wasn't bullied in high school (thankfully), but the damage was done. Being one of like 5 white kids in a school on the wrong side of town (and being an autist to boot) will do that, I suppose. Before I was basically conditioned to be non-communicative and untrusting of others (before 3rd grade), I primarily played with the girls in my school. They were so much nicer than the boys, and so much more interesting to talk to. And our favorite game of all time was when we all played cops and robbers. They all policed around, and would attempt to put me in "jail" (a playset with a lot of bars). Then they'd brag about how smart and strong they were for catching me. Sometimes I'd even make a villainous escape.
Fast-forwarding over all that unpleasantness, and my absolute lack of experience talking to females, and you have a classic headcase. The pleasant memories of old, the fascination I've always had with chasing/capturing/escape, and the ~6 years of bullying I received during important formative years, resulting in a heady mixture of fetish of the highest order. Pretty much the only bits of it I can't stand are cock shaming, or anything related to genital torture. That stuff is no bueno.
>>82317601

>>82302025
riddle me this gamers, If games are "art" how come every video game movie ether sucks ass or is painfully mediocre? The only exceptions to this are movies that aren't adaptions to specific games but rather only make references to video games characters and/or gaming itself (Wreck It Ralph, Scott Pilgrim).

Maybe the reviews are overly harsh, but look at it from this angle. We got so many of these kinds of movies nowadays and its hard for reviewers t oget excited about standard-fare animated flicks.
>cheap cash-in 3D movie by no name director and a studio that brought you 11 barbie straight-to-dvd movies sucks
What a surprise.
Too bad about it happening to R&C.
>>82303907
Hey, not every movie can be White-Shametopia
>>82319408
It's not easy to adapt media from one platform to another. Movies still have a hard time adapting novels properly. Comics too. The problem is that Hollywood just can't decide if videogames, and by extension the movies they spawn, are for kids or for adults.
>>82317055

>>82319451
>ask why games can't translate to film
>hurr durr muh paintings
I fail to see your argument Mr.Strawman. I'm talking about art translating into film. Games have plots and stories. Things that can be translated into film and yet nobody can get it right. How many times can you point the finger until you realize it's the games fault for it's plot-lines being so damn generic? in a medium all about interaction and gameplay it's not shameful to admit that most games lack in the story department.
Then again it's Hollywood's fault for picking games with generic or almost completely nonexistent plots to begin with. If Hollywood actually took a chance on a game with a supposedly "deep story" then maybe I would take it seriously.
>>82310791
They're generally less intellectual and creative because they have minds naturally presdisposed to disliking any change or challenge to their delusional worldview.
Also, add Mike Nelson from MST3K to the list of funny/talented conservatives, that one is forgivable and makes sense because he's such a 50s dad type and also suffers from constant excruciating headaches, I'd be irritable and pissy too.

I blame the "games can be art too" mentality from years ago.
>>82320359
Games can be art, since fucking anything can be art, but people will have to stop treating them the same as movies or paintings or books, and start looking at what it is that games excels at instead.
>>82303665

>>82320542

>>82320450
That's what I mean. So many people rush to prove that games can be mature and deep and artistic, that they forgot to be able to just simply enjoy PLAYING them.
>>82304083
Yeah, it's not that bad of a movie. The soundtrack is nice, it's got sweet action scenes, the romance is decent.
>>82320205
It is an mmo
Meh. Critics hated this too.A boy falls in love with a girl.
Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

>>82320868
Bleh, I can see why, it sounds really fucking boring just from the description alone. But that's the thing about love stories and the like, they are pretty subjective on where they aim: what I find romantic may do nothing for you, and the other way around. People like to follow trends about love even, so maybe Keit's one is not a popular one right now (I mean, literally everybody and your grandma are using multiverse/alternate universe plotlines nowadays, is not even fun anymore)
Animation looked nice though!

>>82321117
right there with you, anon. i was so pumped when it was announced.
>>82321117
>>82321201
Why would you get excited for a video game movie?
Just knowing that should be enough to realise it's trash.
>>82321269
It's based off of a Sony game IP, Sony's game IPs are the goddamn best in the industry.
>>82321269
The games' devs were pretty involved in making it, for one thing.
>>82321269
It was so easy to do, just give a interesting take on the tired Star Wars- type plot. How could they have fucked it up that badly?
>>82321474
That's exactly why it's going to be bad, they make games and not movies. Without the gameplay there's not a lot of interesting aspects to it unless you drastically change the story.
>>82302025
Why do you guys even listen to critics before watching it yourself? Rotten tomatoes is shit
It's the surprise that mystifies me.
Seriously, did you guys even watch the teasers and early previews? I knew it was going to be bad back then. There was nothing redeeming in those trailers.
Why did people assume this would be good?
>>82321380

I'm just upset that I was correct.

I hope you aren't just trying to bait someone into some Nintendrone shit.
>>82321753
Eh, if we're talking about games that could potentially transition well into movies Xenoblade could do it well.
Capcom has a few series that could transition well into movies too, Viewtiful Joe practically writes itself.

That's a GOOD thing, you potato.
>>82321677
I didn't assume anything. I just hoped it wouldn't be bad as R&C was one of my favourite video game series and I was interested in seeing the new take on the old story.
I'll probably get the accompanying game eventually but I'm not willing to buy a PS4 just for it (even though I originally bought a PS3 for ToD and ACiT).
>>82321923A shame the thread about this went to shit
But yeah, I'm surprised by how good it is. And to think I avoided it out fear of fushit.
>>82302025

I didn't think it was bad, just overwhelmingly boring in the trailers. Like the most generic CG family movie.
>>82322085
Yeah but you're also playing a game between the cutscenes as opposed to just watching a 90 or so minute cutscene.
>>82322000
In the game's defense, it's actually pretty good.
But that further highlights the problem. Having to release a game just to remind people that this is even a thing.

i could tell it was going to be awful when the end of the trailer literally said "buy the game."
It's just a feature length advertisement, and not the good kind like Lego Movie
I thought it was good!
Not amazing, but there's WAY worse garbage coming out all the time.
As a Ratchet and Clank fan, I had a good time. Only problems I had were I wished it was a little funnier (still had funny parts, but yeah, not every joke is a bulls-eye) and the new Galactic Rangers were kind of pointless. Stallone's character too, didn't think he brought that much to it.
Kind of had a slow start, but I was getting more and more into it as it went. Really don't get the venomous hate it's been getting. Is it AMAZING? No, of course not, but I went in expecting a fun Ratchet and Clank adventure and that's what I got.

>>82303698
Phoenix Wright live action movie was surprisingly good.
I saw the movie last night. I'm not sure if this is a point that has been brought up yet, but one thing I found really weird is how they handled the few action scenes they had. In Metropolis (or rather "Aleero City") there was that big fight against all those warbots, and something I noticed is that every time a warbot was shot down, they just simply tipped over. This is a very noticeable problem when you remember that this is part of the Ratchet & Clank series, where ever since Going Commando has been known for it's fun and extravagant robot destruction physics. Unlike the games, you don't see robot limbs and gears go flying or their metal casings crack and dent, all this movie does for the most part is just show them fall over. And that's especially weird since they had the resources straight from the reboot game to do this, it couldn't possibly have been that hard to implementable into the movie.
>>82316464
I feel like film critics wouldn't put up with the kind of narrative stuff that gets game critics moist.

>>82320450
>>82320635
It's the most retarded shit too because you could make much more meaningful or artsy shit by having the player actually act out the events or make choices or do anything that video games should do. It makes the impact that much more visceral compared to basically watching a movie with some boring duck and cover shit added in.
But most of these shitty games that try too hard are being made by AAA studios who have no idea how to go about that because large studios and companies are not built in the way to make anything actually artistic compared to some small dev team who's making a passion project out of their "office" and who can stylize their shit to actually reflect the content and themes instead of trying to get the best graphics on a shitty six-year-old piece of hardware/
>>82328591
>instead of trying to get the best graphics on a shitty six-year-old piece of hardware/
It really is a shame that they're abandoning gameplay for graphics.
As much as people don't want to admit it Nintendo is the only one not doing that and even then they're taking some questionable routes.
>>82328662
Yup especially when it's on hardware that is so far behind when it first comes out and sticks around for years. The only games I play anymore really are 3DS shit and indie PC games. Not trying to be a hipster but they come out even more frequently than AAA games nowadays and there tends to be a LOT more decent-to-good ones typically for a fraction of the price. It's honestly stupid to stick around on consoles nowadays. I'm not one of those fags who lie and say you can build a $350 PC with graphics or performance "even better" than PS4 but you can build one around that price and run a lot more games a lot cheaper with a lot better quality with only a minor performance dip in that price range and a major increase in performance if you're willing to spend a bit more.
>>82328977
Remember the days when consoles actually had games to sway the consumers instead of being one big graphics, "first exclusive DLC" wank?
Has anyone else noticed how low the budget for the movie is? $20 million. This movie could end up doing crap and still possibly make it's money back.
>>82328662
Yea, you would think the hardware/software would be at that point where developers would be able to smooth out the rough edges graphic-wise while devoting more effort into game design, rather than trying to make everything photorealistic.
>>82329277
>>82329177
>>82328977
Alright, this is getting ridiculous.

>>82329310

>>82329479
He's not saying they're "wrong" he's saying blindly placing faith in critics for no real reason other than that they're critics is stupid. Where did all this blind faith in the almighty Tomato Meter pop up from?
>inb4 YOU DONT KNOW HOW ROTTEN TOMATOES WORKS
Literally everyone here knows how it fucking works. The percentage is just based on overall mostly postive or mostly negative reviews. Stop being pedantic autists. Also if you DO look at the score you'll see the point is that all of those movies were rated lower than or equal to TFA not the retarded Tomato Movie everyone is so quick to blame.
Whatever happened to actually judging a film based on personal experiences rather than pretending that critics' reviews are some sort of emperical evidence of good or bad quality? I'm not gonna decide to see a movie based on critics who don't have the same interests or TASTES as me instead of actual IRL friends.
>>82305111

Video games are just possibly inherently unable to be adapted to the big screen for a number of reasons. That and they never have phenomenal talent behind the movies. It's only until pretty much just now with this movie and the upcoming Warcraft movie that studios have even cared to try to faithfully adapt the source material.
>>82329893
>It's only until pretty much just now with this movie and the upcoming Warcraft movie that studios have even cared to try to faithfully adapt the source material.
>this movie
The R&C movie turned out terrible as well.
>>82321874
Devil May Cry, with the right balance of self awareness and seriousness, could absolutely work. Reboot Resident Evil and make it more of a throwback to 80s horror and action movies, and again focus on the perfect amount of camp and seriousness to get people invested. Two of those should find some inspiration from John Carpenter movies or, in DMC's case, something like 80s Stallone or Arnie
>>82329948
I guess it's either back to the drawing board or studios just need to fuck off and quit trying to adapt video games.
I liked the movie.
I thought it was a decently done video game adaptation.
If anyone has a problem with that then feel free to disagree, but remember that this is just my opinion and not yours.
>>82321753
Umm, yeah? Not to mention Capcom, Square-Enix, SEGA, Namco, Koei-Tecmo, etc.
>>82329967
This. Street Fighter could really work as well.
Metroid too.
And Deus Ex.
>>82330116
You're entitled to your denial but don't think that it changes the fact that the movie was shit both story wise and visually.
>>82330198
>Metroid too.
No way, we've had a Metroid game with a focus on story and it was terrible.
>>82330198
I hear theyre trying to make a Deus Ex movie based on Human Revolution. Im really hoping that doesnt suck, since I enjoyed that game quite a bit
>>82330254
Just make it slow and atmospheric as possible. More focused on atmosphere and telling the story through action than anything else, like a few spaghetti Westerns. Minimal dialogue.
You know, Kid Icarus could really work as a CGI movie as well.

>You know, Kid Icarus could really work as a CGI movie as well.
That I could see, just make sure the treehouse writers work on it.
If I remember right they were the ones responsible for the script in Uprising, it would make a great action comedy.
>>82330351
Would be great. Would also never happen.
>>82330440
Hell yeah.
Honestly I wouldn't really want to see too many video game adaptations anyway. I think it might be an interesting experiment but there's no real reason to pursue such a thing when video games are probably the hardest medium to adapt to the big screen and there's no money for it in the long run, except for Capcom's Resident Evil movies.

Disney HATES competition. See BvS scores on RT.

That aside the Ratchet and Clank movie was underwhelming to say the least, it didn't retain any of the wonder from the games.

The latter
>>82312304
I mean, I'm all for that. Problem is, capeshit is a literal money printer. It's one of the safest investments a big movie studio could make, as those things pack the theaters quickly.
Of course, I would prefer that big time distributors/studios would use the money gathered from those (nearly) guaranteed investments to fund more risky pictures (and I'm sure a lot of them do just that. Fox, for example, has the Searchlight brand, which has had a hand in the films of people like Terrence Malick, Wes Anderson, and Alexander Inarritu). However, those risky pictures are exactly that, and can live or fail depending on how marketable it is.
>>82322700
I'm down for orc women getting more exposure.
>>82328284
That's disappointing. Stuff/enemies exploding was a really entertaining part of the games. It really sounds like corporate meddling to tone it down to be more 'kid friendly' because Insomniac would have known explosions=fun.

The studio died 10 years ago when its creatives were let go. Only the cucks and girls are left at high tier positions.

In these cases, Sony and Blizzard were the ones pushing for a movie.

2bh they should've just went loose and gone for a pg-13 rating. It's clear they couldn't write pg approved jokes for shit.
>>82341717
Did you read any the Barsoom books before seeing John Carter?
I liked the movie as well, but I felt it would have been a bit better if it had stuck closer to the source material on a few things, particularly the Therns.
>>82313070
You're not seriously implying Advent Children is a good movie, are you?
>>82303665
Unlike the gaming media, movie critics aren't Sony fanboys and shills. It looked mediocre as fuck from the previews a low tier Dreamworks movie at best. Sony fanboys being the retarded cult members thy are are giving it good fan reviews.
>>82305472
But most of the reviews are focusing on the wrong shit. The complaints are mostly issues they have with the characters/source material. If they knew about the games than they would have known right off the bat they would not enjoy this movie regardless of how well made of a film it is.
>>82331137
Disney doesn't own Rotten Tomatoes. In fact, WB does, so RT should be shitting on Marvel and hyping BvS to the moon if it was the festering conspiracy you make it out to be.
>>82314293
Even then the story for Crisis Core wasn't that great either save for a handful of moments. That game was mostly saved by it's gameplay.

Never understood why Speed Racer got such shit reviews.
It's one of my favorite movies.
>>82312304
As a comic fan, I couldn't be happier. I see where you're coming from though. Sorry.
>>82343954
Probably because it's an eyesore. It physically hurt me to watch that in theatres and I'm not joking. The damn thing with all the colors and fake backgrounds made me physically ill.
>>82343160
Yeah, Genesis was pretty fucking bad, but the gameplay made up for it by letting you oneshot him repeatedly by punching him every encounter.
>>82331080
I saw it a few hours ago, I enjoyed it despite it's flaws.
>They keep adapting shit franchises no one cares about like Street Fighter, Prince of Persia and Ratchet and Clank instead of good franchise like Halo, Mass Effect and TLoU
Hurts. At least there's a Warcraft movie coming out, though that looks utter shit since it's full of retcons and muh nobel savage orcs.
>>82341717
Speed Racer is a legitimately amazing film. Negative reviews of it are seriously shit like "it's too cartoony."
a fucking adaptation of a children's cartoon.
critics ain't shit.

not just that, its literally "the walking Dead + The Road". Movie critics are gonna call it out for what it is
>>82303665
it just didnt really do anything right. It pandered to mostly little kid humor and had nothing about it that made the original games great.
>>82304215
dont bother. waste of $10
>>82342123
I read the book for the first time just last year. It's a great book. got about halfway through before falling off the wagon like I do with most books. The lore is dank as fuck and they could have turned it into a trilogy with all the stuff that happened

Only read the first book as well, but the complaints I heard were that they tried to cram the lore of three books worth into one movie. The plot definitely needed room to breathe. As well as a noteworthy aesthetic to make the whole thing stand out.

Watching the legitimately autistic users of Something Awful flock to the defense of this movie, claiming it was a work of utter genius while the rest of the world looked at it and said, "Holy shit, this is GARBAGE," was an amazing time. So many actually triggered goons.
>>82312979
Silent Hill COULD have been fucking amazing. If they had just let Sean Bean actually be Harry Mason (buh... buh... buh... people won't believe a FATHER can love a child that much!) or just turned him into James and made it Silent Hill 2 instead, it could've been the best ever.

>If games are "art" how come every video game movie ether sucks ass or is painfully mediocre?
Easy because art comes in many varieties, humor and writing can work on only a video game and a video game alone.
Rachet and Clank's humor on a movie is cliched and overused while it works for a video game since it's interactive.
>>82304083
It was an ok movie, and I never even played on of the games.
