OPINION Spin-off of the MK thread

[Shaquille Sunflower]

So from what I’ve read in the Mortal Kombat thread the opinion on the movie is 50/50 or at best 60/40 that it’s a good movie. My question will we ever get a live action video game adaptation that is universally seen as being great?

I know there are animated versions that some people think are pretty good but for the most part, I can’t think of a movie based on a video game that really gets rated high. What do you think needs to happen?

Better directors?
Better actors?
Writers who’ve actually played the games and not just get handed source material?

Speak on it.

I have high hopes for the Uncharted movie and The Last of Us show coming up

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Thought Sonic was seen as at least good by the vast majority of people.

 

[SeaSnake]

Not until they put that marvel money behind it

Uncharted will get compared to Indiana Jones movies by people who never played the game

If they stick to the game story and not create some new crap I think TLOU could be great for everyone. Can't think of a movie similar that people would complain that it's a ripoff of

Lemme watch RE and get back to you

Detective pikachu would count yes

Then I think just recently did Hollywood start making decent video game movies

there’s a few past outliers but MK I would never watch again and RE I’ve seen quite many times
