I have to agree with Deathshands, certain games have the potential to be made into a good movie. But when they have the chance, they screw it up. As for Resident evil, i can see the potentail. But at the sametime, i can see them screwing it right up. The past Zombie films, day the dead etc, etc or what ever (there normally something of the dead) were just funny. The acting was really, REALLY bad, especilly the people pretending to be zombies. I really hope that they can pull it off well with the resident evil movie, but at the sametime, i highly doubt it. I really don't want to find myself falling over with laughter over bad acting. I think resident evil would be better as a computer animated film, that way they wont screw up the zombies. Infact, it might be a better thing to turn games into computer animated films. Or anime films, the street fighter film sucked, but the anime film wasn't to bad. It stayed true to the game.

Also with games becoming films, they can really drifted away from the actaul game. Like super mario brothers, which had very weak links with the game. They basically just slapped on the name super mario brothers, and people went to see it.

When making games into films, they should really put more effort into staying true to the game. Instead of just making a crappy move and slapping a francise label on it.

Humm well personally

SHENMUE
Has a lot of potentail in becoming a film, not nessacerily live action, maybe computer animated. But i think it could become a fanatastic film, a brillant story and enough action.

ZELDA
And no, not the cell shaded one, perferably Ocarina of time. Although i think it would only really work in Anime or Computer animation. But it has a lot of potentail in becoming a film.

The problem is, games that are made into films are only the popular games. Not nessacerily games that have potentail plot wise. Crazy taxi has no real plot at all, but driving around picking people up. So how thats going to be made into a film, i'm not sure. But i can bet that when the film comes out, it will be so distant from the game. You wouldn't even think that it was based on the game. Heck, why don't they just go ahead and make the film without buying the license.

Because they know the license will help the films success, thats all it's about at the end of day.
