SchumacherFTW Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I ve heard the Super Mario Bros movie is some kind of misunderstood camp masterpiece, any truth to that ? It is a painful, soul sucking experience which makes you question whether an eternity with Lucifer himself would be better than suffering that 80 minutes of filmmaking again.

tonytr87 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Eventually video-game adaptations will be like comic-book movies. It's just right now they're in their late-90's phase. Assassins Creed could be the first really good one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassins Creed could be the first really good one. It could happen. Of course, comics are known for iconic characters and stories. Video games are known for...gameplay? One translates better than the other. Don't get me wrong,,,there some great character and poorly written but could be good stories in the video game side.

John Marston Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 A lot of video games these days already feel like movies. Kind of makes adapting them for film kind of pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as ideas to make a film around? Sure, there's enough there. Edited August 29, 2015 by kowhite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Are you saying comics have tons of trully good stories? Most of it is B-movie shlock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Characters yes. Stories, truly good ones...are rarer. But as ideas to make a film around? Sure, there's enough there. 100% agree. Stories in Video Games are weak as hell. Uncharted and MGS are always hailed as the most cinematic games, but if you take the story by itself its horrible. Even some of the characters in Iconic video games arent all that good Mario, Link, Master Chief, every single character in Gears of War, Kratos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, MGS has a ton of interesting ideas, it's just wrapped in a bunch of insane stuff. MGS1 has a legit pretty good story though. Before Kojima got too...Kojima.

Elessar Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Stuff like Witcher 3 has better (and well written) stories than 95 % of comics. Edited August 29, 2015 by Elessar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXtacy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) This video game adaption is definitely being given all chances to be good. There are a lot of games which would make good source material these days so I hope this does well. I think filming was suppose to start today. Hopefully we get a few more pictures soon Edited August 31, 2015 by eXtacy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get a few more pictures soon I'm hopeful here. If for nothing, the historical setting will be refreshing. I just wonder if they'll have a scene of Fass jumping off a cathedral into a cart of hay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
