XDDD milhouse. i'll have to use that pic some time.
but yeah, my point is i kinda hate debating in general. i dont know why I let myself get pulled into it at all. I said you were narrow minded because you kinda seem hell-bent against giving a video game movie a chance, as if you're one of those kind of people that think once an idea has made its mark in one entertainment medium, it should never cross over to another.
it seems to me like you might have a biased and slightly jaded opinion on the movies you have seen, because you want a movie to somehow have the same atmosphere and entertainment value as the game it's representing, rather than just be a good movie in and of itself. people do that a lot about movies based on books, too. I just think you should try to look at anything you watch in a theater with a mindframe of "I'm watching a movie, not a cinematic cutscene taken straight from a game," and keep an open mind about it. I'm sure no one pays the ticket price just to see the exact same game they played or the exact same book they read, except on a bigger screen. And if they do, they're stupid. No matter what name is on that movie, you really should only watch it in hopes it's good as a movie.
directors don't write video games, and game designers don't direct movies. They just like to volley their IPs around.

And that's all I have to say about that
