Why can't video games make good movies? Is it because of lack of effort?

>using shitty examples
Go watch the new hitman fucking pleb. If you would've used a different franchise I would've agreed, most vidya movies suck dick. Resident evil afterlife was ok too. Other than that they all suck.

I saw this in theaters. I had no idea back in '07 this game had a big enough following to warrant a movie.

Then I learned the film was produced by Vin Diesel whose Chronicles of Riddick videogames come to a close second for best movie based videogames. Obviously The Warriors is number one.

Are you implying Agent 47 was good

If so I have to say you're sorely mistaken
>>
>>66827588
Because the people making them don't care.

>>66827940
Agent 47 was fucking great for a vidya movie. Better than any that I can think of.

It was fucking terrible on every level imaginable. On its own and as an adaptation. Fuck you.

Shit directors, meddling executives, and general disregard for the source material by everyone in charge.

It doesn't help that 9 times out of 10 the protagonists are completely silent and mostly blank slates devoid of character, or are literal faceless cannon fodder meant to be thrown at enemy faceless cannon fodder until someone wins the game through superior strategy and efficient tactics.

It's entirely possible to make a decent movie out of nearly any kind of game. Unfortunetly the number of equally decent directors doesn't quite line up with that figure.

>>66828773
no cos the source material is usually garbage, unfit for adaptation
silent hill was a good one, it actually had a decent narrative to base itself off
prince of persia was also not bad
>>
>>66828610
>Street Fighter
it's a good comedy I'll give you that
>Mortal Kombat
the fight scenes are fun but pg-13 makes it a shit adaptation
>Clue
yeah
>Dead or Alive
fuck no
>Silent Hill
it was decent for a horror flick

Dead or Alive is good because it knew exactly what it was. Shameless T&A, and they turned the cheesiness up to 11. It never takes itself seriously, even for a second. Is it Eyes Without a Face or Persona? Fuck no, but it never tries to be. It's fun shlock and it embraces that fact.

You can start with a perfectly acceptable source and still fuck up, image/filename related.

Mortal Kombat. Nuff said.

Because the gameplay is a crucial part in the entertainment you get from a video game. Watching a movie based on a video game is just like watching unskippable cutscenes.
