Soul Calibur movie

[Tomiko]

It can be... okay... depending on who directs it.

No...just no

After seeing a shitty director turn transformers into an amazing movie, it really doesn't matter to me who directs what anymore and instead its more about the concept. Soul Calibur would be aweful lol.

You're calling Michael Bay shitty? He directed The Rock, one of the most awesome movies ever madeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

qft

That has to be one of my all-time favorite movies. <3 Sean Connery

When will Hollywood learn that movies based on videogames are destined to fail? And to make a movie based on a fighting game?? WTF are they thinking?

Mortal Kombat movie= YOUR SOUL IS MINE!

Yea, but transformers has an easy to follow plot and pretty easy to enjoy.


Soul Calibur on the other hand....


of course this just makes me wonder how the hell they're gonna handle Nightmare

[Venture]

Hollywood doesn't get that Transformers succeeded only because of a combination of Steven Spielberg assisting, sick CG effects, and the childhood adoration millions of grown-ups had for the cartoon. Michael Bay's only real contribution was screwing up all the combat scenes with his Michael J. Fox camera-work. They could have given it to a homeless person on the street, and it would have still been a good movie.

They're gonna keep trying out different combinations of popular fads and special effects, and lose all that money they did make on Transformers trying to recreate the phenomenon.

MK movies = <3
Cant wait for the new one.

I love Soul Calibur, but a movie of it could be bad...storywise none of the games are that strong and most of the characters don't lend themselves to OTT action sequences. I can only see fights being good if they're choreographed by a good martial artist.

[captainbeards]

like FF spirits within was? lol.

That wasn't a bad movie in all honesty.

It wasn't widely accepted and wasn't marketed very well, in my opinion.

Ebert and Roeper gave it two thumbs up, if that matters.



...and yes I bought it on dvd, lol fuck you guys

Take "Final Fantasy" out of the title and it was a good movie :D

I was never really into the games (Soul Caliber)... but i know how movies based on video games usually turn out....

Speaking of movies... what ever happend to Dead Or Alive? >.> lol havent heard anything about it >.>


EDIT on JPIV:

One of the ideas featured a group of soldiers that were genetically crossed humans and dinosaurs.

Hmm what? lol?

I work at blockbusters, and we're getting the DVD to rent mid-September....I'm still not sure what to think of that...

Ew?

Director: the person responsible for the interpretive aspects of a stage, film, or television production; the person who supervises the integration of all the elements, as acting, staging, and lighting, required to realize the writer's conception.

Director of Photography: the person who is responsible for all operations concerning camera work and lighting during the production of a film.

The "director" on a film set is probably more equivelant to your "supervisor" at your IT job. Doesn't quite add to anything when everyone else is doing their job and is definitely more qualified to. There's too many people involved in the production of a film to be able to pin it on one douchebag (Michael Bay) when things are shitty, but you can bet your ass he gets the credit when they go right.

When I think of Video game movies i remember: mario Bros. street fighter and Wing commander

AWESOME MOVIE

One of the ideas featured a group of soldiers that were genetically crossed humans and dinosaurs. This was proposed by John Sayles.

[arus2001]

Probably the biggest problem I have with fighting game movies is none of the chicks they cast have the appropriate racks for the role. Surely they could teach a pornstar to kung fu dance and go "hiyah!" instead of "ooo baby!"

/chauvenistoff 8)

In all seriousness, I could see a SC movie. The problem is it'd likely get so diluted by attempting to accommodate the entire game's cast that it'll be shit when you see two guys you thought were badasses die 3 minutes after coming onscreen.

When will Hollywood learn that movies based on videogames are destined to fail? And to make a movie based on a fighting game?? WTF are they thinking?

Mortal Kombat (the first movie).

Definitely NOT Street Fighter. Wirefighting style for the more fantastic moves and plenty of well-choreographed fighting, and you might actually have a movie. Course, you might have to CGI Volo, just for some of those truly un-natural contortions.

Basically, it needs to have action and visuals that hit you like a mack truck or else it'll join the long list of videogame movie failures.

I rest my case

[Charla]

You make a compelling argument.

What does everyone think about Advent Children? Or does it not even countas a "video game movie" for various reasons.

[BRP]

The real problem is that the people making those movies don't know how to apple to the audiences that would be interested in videogame movies in the first place.

[Isiolia]

At the core, the Soul Calibur vs Soul Blade sword story could work as a movie. It's not Shakespeare, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be entertaining. 'course, very easy to make it amazingly craptacular as well.

[Yangsing]

People actually paid to watch DOA?

I watched the SF movie when I was little. That movie shattered my dreams. Then I played Street Fighter: The Movie fighting game and gave me nightmares.
