tquilha Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Following the Deadpool trailer, I came upon something that really made my day. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIvsa3PrG7I Fallout 4 movie?? Hope this happens. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I could see Bethesda remaking Starship Troopers for their first movie, with lots of bugs. Ba dum Tss Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm not sure. When has a film based on a video game *ever* been good? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I spotted this trailer today. Could be a bit of fun nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm not sure. When has a film based on a video game *ever* been good? Prince of Persia wasn't a total turd? Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Didn't see it. But 'not a total turd' is hardly high praise... Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Tomb Raider (the first one, not the second) wasn't bad. Hitman (2007, Director's cut) is actually a decent Bourne rip off Link to post Share on other sites
icolater Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hitman was around before bourne, the formula for the game hasn't changed much since it's first release in 2000. New COD WW2 is very very good, makes that WE Thomson release a must!! Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I hope the Hitman you are referring to is not the abomination with Timothy Oliphant in it? Yeah, the Tomb Raider film was OK. He is right though, there hasn't been a Shawshank or Empire based on a 'puter game up to now. The reason is pretty obvious, computer games tell a story in a different way, they give you control and tend to have no character development since you are the character and they can't force you to develop. Silent protagonists are a problem, designed so you can imprint on the character, makes it hard to transfer to a film. I suppose we would be better served thinking of a game that is capable of becoming a good film. Strong plot, film friendly narrative structure. Something like Half Life, Portal 1, Bioshock or especially Grim Fandango. What a game. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I hope the Hitman you are referring to is not the abomination with Timothy Oliphant in it? Yep, it was better than I expected it to be. On an entertainment level, not an adaptation. The one with Rupert Friend was unwatchable compared to that. Frankly, if I wanted to watch a high brow action movie, I'd watch Heat or Thief (1981) and skip almost anything made past 2003. Only two exception have broken my 2003 rule: No Country for Old Men and Winter's Bone. Edit: John Wick 1 and 2, as good as they are, I don't think it will be as memorable in the future.

Habakure Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Been enjoying The Punisher on Netflix. Only three episodes in but I like the pace they've set. Definitely owing some of the attitude to the max comics (Mark Millar) series. Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 In finding it a bit slow. Then again, I've thought the same about all the other Marvel shows on Netflix - they've all been slow burns. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Tomb Raider (the first one, not the second) wasn't bad. Hitman (2007, Director's cut) is actually a decent Bourne rip off No Director's Cut for Hitman exists, because the director was fired before the film was even released. And if they stuck to the script, the film would make much more sense (for example: in the script, 47 is chased by the Spetsnaz, there's a great action scene on the train in the beginning of the third act instead of that moronic swordfight earlier, and the FSB guy is behind everything). Same goes for Babylon AD. Director fired, film butchered with reshoots, outcome makes no sense. That's what you get from the company too busy sucking Koch. Or two Kochs actually.

Hedganian Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Six six eight is the neighbour of the beast. Six six seven is across the road from the beast. Link to post Share on other sites
