World of Warcraft movie

I haven't seen a movie YET based on a video game that didn't completely suck. Advent Children being the only exception, I thought that was pretty spiffy. It didn't completely go over to appeal to a wide audience, and didn't completely depart from what the fans would want either, kind of a half-way-in-between sort of deal.

So if they pull this off, it would be the second movie ever based on a video game that was awesome. Then again, I haven't seen Silent Hill, I've heard that was pretty cool.

But yeah...I wonder why its so hard to make a good movie based off of a video game. Maybe they just need to shoot Uwe Boll for that to start happening.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Meh =/ it was merely OK, at least imho. But you are right, I guess its another one that didn't completely suck.

I'd also rather see a StarCraft movie, and not yet another Lord of the Rings rip off.

Amen! There was so much story potential in Starcraft as to what was going on behind the scenes. Anybody remember the opening cinematic to Brood War? You could build quite a lot off of that...maybe even have the movie open with that cinematic as kind of a nostalgia factor or something.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

lol, good point. It looks like shit on my 1280x1024 LCD.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
