Doom has a thin plot by game standards. Should be fun (or not) to see how they stretch that out for 90 minutes.

Would have been funny if the star of the movie was a chaingun.

Its very "doomish" thus far i think..

Im sure they will ---fudgesicle--- it up some how, but for now i think its gonna be 'decent'

Look at past games made into movies, you will find a trend...

I just read in the Thursday newspaper (that large multi-page thingy made out of wood pulp) that Microsoft has given the OK to a movie based on Halo.

The movie sucked big time, but House of the Dead had some pretty hot chicks especially the asian chick and the red head running arround in the bustier with the bouncing BOOBs.

Yeah, resident evil is one of the very few exceptions.

Stingray · « **Reply #13 on:** August 26, 2005, 09:58:42 am »

Never seen House of the Dead, but Gozur's review makes it sound like it's worth watching (muted - like a Mariah Carey video).

Resident Evil sucked. So did Tomb Raider. So did Mortal Kombat. So did Street Fighter.

Now Tron, on the other hand...

Given the concept they were starting with, I didn't think the first Mortal Kombat was all that bad. Good soundtrack, at the time too.

Anyhow, as DOOM3 on the PC pretty much *looks* like a movie already...there's really no point in actually making a movie. I mean they could have taken the opportunity to add to the Doom mythos, maybe expand the storyline, but it looks like they're just going to put the game on the screen.

Hollywood has truly run out of ideas.

Stingray · « **Reply #20 on:** August 26, 2005, 11:01:13 am »

Does Tron really count? Didn't the movie & the game come out at the same time? I always considered Tron to be a game based on a movie that was based on video games.

PLEASE DON'T POST A PIC OF THE TRON GUY!

That list has a bunch of stuff that started out as not a video game, like all the pokemon. Tron started out as a movie, games were made from it.

But out of the ones that were video games first, they all suck. Yeah, there's classics like Street fighter, mortal Kombat, and Super Mario Bros. They are good for a cheap laugh, but all in all they suck.

shmokes · « **Reply #24 on:** August 26, 2005, 12:23:03 pm »

Check this guy out

He's like the goto guy for directing movies based on videogames now. Don't know how he managed that, considering his current videogame-to-film resume only includes Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead.

Good cast for Bloodrayne, though. Who knows? Just kidding, it will suck.

edit: I guess it helps that he's producing the films too.

Tomb Raider is the best one so far and it was terrible. If any of those movies stood alone, as in the movie was exactly the same, same script same actors, etc., but there was no videogame it was based on you wouldn't be defending them. You like them because you want to like them because they are based on videogames and you're all hardcore or some junk.

Those movies all suck. They're terrible.

fredster · « **Reply #28 on:** August 26, 2005, 04:35:47 pm »

I heard on the entertainment news last night they were negotiating for a "Halo" movie to come out in 2007 also.

I liked Tomb Raider. (I also liked Van Helsing). Do slow mo on tomb raider when Laura is running out of the ice cavern. One of my favorite scenes in all movies. I also like Tomb Raider 2.

Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 were cool. I still watch them from time to time.

House of the dead was interesting. Not real good, but I like zombie movies. I didn't watch mario brothers or street fighter.

I liked House of the Dead. It had a better premise than most game based movies. They tried to be too Blair Witch about it, though.

shmokes · « **Reply #31 on:** August 26, 2005, 05:55:55 pm »

I probably did enjoy parts of all of them. An enjoyable part doesn't make an enjoyable film and I don't enjoy sitting through 20 minutes of crap for every 30 seconds of entertainment.

To be fair, I haven't actually seen House of the Dead, but I notice that it got a 6% rating on Rottentomatoes, so I really don't have a whole lot of hope that it's set to buck the trend.

Clonedsheep · « **Reply #32 on:** August 26, 2005, 06:03:11 pm »

I think I was expecting too much from House of the Dead. I didn't like it @ all. I was kinda expecting a Dawn of the Dead feel.

shmokes · « **Reply #33 on:** August 26, 2005, 06:08:27 pm »

Speaking of which, have you seen Shawn of the Dead (or is it Sean of the Dead?)? Dawn of the dead was a great show, don't get me wrong. But you NEED to see Shawn of the Dead. God....it is funny.

Eh, I found Shawn of the Dead annoying after a while. I wanted to reach in and slap that dude for letting everyone piss on him like that.

You were right the first time.. its Shawn

Great flick too

it's actually shaUn of the dead

And yes... very funny.

I have to agree though that there are a few game movies that I can watch when in the mood. Sometimes you're just in the mood to watch an entertaining, if not actually GOOD, movie.
