Street Fighter. It's fantastically bad.

It's not a movie, but the Fallout series had a great first season, and I'm looking forward to the second.

Alex Garland has made some pretty good movies, so there's a chance. I thought his instincts with annihilation were pretty much spot on. But yeah, movies based on games do not have a great track record.

Video game movies have a chance of being good, they are almost always trash with a slim chance of being good. For a game with a lot of lore and no plot, the chance of being good is close to zero.

Maybe a miracle will happen.

I wonder it is going to be THE Elden Ring story or An Elden Ring story, a small contained story in the Elden Ring world could fly really well, bonus points if Patches kicks the protagonist off a cliff.

my preference would be a film about the shattering, giving us some (but not too much) more insight into just what fucked the world up so godsdamned much.

but that would need to be extremely faithful to the lore and character designs and i just don't see hollywood showing up for that.

First, it's A24 and they put out amazing movies .

Second, Detective Pikachu, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros Movie, and I'm not sure if it would count, but Wreck It Ralph are all good video game movies.

What… uh… I can’t imagine this movie being weird enough to feel like a movie based on a FROMSOFT game while still being accessible to the wide audience needed for a big budget fantasy movie to make money.

Super Mario Bros. (1993) was a cult classic.

The 2023 movie is forgettable garbage.

The Sonic movies are fun though. Knuckles TV as well.

Silent Hill

Sorry, best we can do is having the audience dodge roll every scene.

Its funny in this case because not "fucking it up" effectively means making a movie that's barely related to the game outside of the basic setting.

Hope they make something trippy like The Green Knight

I’m cautiously optimistic. The lack of a plot in the game leaves a lot of creative room for the film and the deep lore gives them a lot to work with. Also it’s Alex garland and a24 so like. I’m in.

The last of us was great too. Not a movie still. But .

"A24" is the only thing here that gives me a tiny bit of hope.

I really wish studios would just start hiring writters and making original content. Im so bored of everything being ripped from other media.

I think about this a lot

I love the idea of media expanding on the lore, but needing to insert a plot could ruin it

My only "solution" is a TV series instead of a movie and every episode should be a separate story

That one got a lot of hate, but I actually liked it. Not so much the second one, though.
