I'll be damned.

 

Nice to see it's actually happening.

 

Most successful video game movie?

 

What's the most successful one currently? Detective Pikachu?

 

Warcraft (2016) - $439 Million
Detective Pikachu (2019) - $433 Million
Rampage (2018) - $428 Million
The Angry Birds Movie (2016) - $352 Million
Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time (2010) - $336 Million



then two RE movies, two Tomb Raider movies, and Sonic round out the top 10.

 

Best quality or most successful?

If we're talking best quality, I think it's probably still Mortal Kombat right? Like Mortal Kombat is actually a legit good movie. Although Detective Pikachu is up there. And Sonic was decent.

 

I think it has a pretty good chance of surpassing $439m, assuming the theater-going experience is safe and back to normal when this comes out.

As far as quality, I enjoyed both Sonic and Pikachu of the movies mentioned. Loved MK as a kid, but I haven't seen it in so long, so I'm not sure how it holds up. Sounds like I should give it a rewatch.

 

Detective Pikachu was good. The most recent Tomb Raider was vanilla but pretty decent, imo; interested in what comes next there.

I cannot be convinced that I should watch Sonic.

 

From the director of Gangster Squad and the writers of Punisher: War Zone does not leave me feeling confident about this one.

 

Punisher: War Zone fucking rules, though. That & the first Iron Man are the two good films they’re credited on. (A few of those other films, though...)

 

(Though, in Sony’s eyes, this is actually from the director of Venom & the star of Spider-Man: Far From Home, lol. Also, those writers worked on one of the scripts for Morbius & are writing the Kraven movie J.C. Chandor is developing. Very much so Sony trying to build another blockbuster franchise using all their Marvel tools, lol.)

 

also from the director of Venom, which, woof

 

Yeah, somehow that is still one of his better ones haha

 

supposedly sully

 

ugh

 

yikes

 

hahahahhahah

 

Eh, trailer doesn't look too bad

 

It looks interesting and fun. It actually evokes the feel of the game to me, which for now is a compliment.

I wasn't wild about the young Nate choice, but I guess having the movie be a prequel to the series creates an opportunity to enrich the canon, and there's always opportunity to build from that into the series proper.

I know video game movies have a legacy of sucking though, and I've seen multiple game-to-movie bombs start out with a decent looking trailer, so I'll set my dial to quietly and tentatively expectant.

But as it is, I don't get any alarm bells. It looks like a fine action movie.

 

I hope its good! And I edited the negativity out of my initial post lol

 

Looks sick
