Forums · movies from games
What do you think of game movies like final fantasy and Mortal combat? I didn't like the Final fantays movie that much because I had too high expectations for it because the games are so good.
what movies from games have you seen and did you like the movie or was the game better?

Spirits witin (the ff movie) sucked BIG time. Im not sure about the FF advent children though...
i dont really like wathcing games-to-movies type of thing cuz usually, they suck. Even the movies-to-games, suck..well..except the LOTR games and Matrix of course.

I really like to see Advent children. I looks great from what trailers I've seen. I think movies to games is better then games to movies because if the game is good, we expect the movie to be aswell. but a game about a movie can be cool, lotr third age for instance as Crimson mentioned.
wouldn't it be nice if there was a movie made about Kingdom hearts?

Yeah Advent Children has a lot of potential. Cloud, Tifa, Vincent, Barret, Sephiroth..can't wait to see them all again.
The first FF movie was just a pet project of the same guy who has produced FF...it should not have had the FF title, it was very misleading.

The problem with Final Fantasy Spirits Within, was it was not a "Final Fantasy" movie...people saw it expecting it to be like the games. To have similiar ideas and theories in it. It was a completely separate entity, just had the name Final Fantasy. If it was just called "Spirits Within" people would not have bashed it as they did. The expectations were too high.
I have no problem with "games" being turned into movies, as long as they are only uses as a basis for the movie. Take Tomb Raider for example. You have the character from the game, same type of theory, but that is all. The moive itself is separate, does not have the same storyline as the game.

Yeah and financially it was quite a disaster too I heard.

It was quite the disaster. Which is the main reason Square decided not to release "Advent Children" as a theater production. They did not want the humiliation as they had with "Spirits Within".

Straying from the original topic a bit but..Square should really just do a FF7 remake for the next gen consoles. They don't even have to add much new content, just up the graphics a bit (well a lot) and its sure to be a best seller.
And I wish they'd done Advent Children instead of Spirits Within. At the time it was reported Square would quite with the movie making business.

I disagree with a new FF VII being created. So much attention is placed on that game, which I find to be wrong. There are so many other FF games that I find more enjoyable and better storylines, they should focus on having those as a next gen console games. I find that FF VII is over rated ((waits for fanboys to attack)).
The movie business is not really what Square should be doing. They do hope to recover face with AC, but I am not quite sure how that will fare. I suspect there is too much expectation, and people will be let down again.

That is actually my fear, because it is FF VII, too much expectation will be given to it. So many people will get it just because it is FF VII, and not because it is a good movie.
I enjoyed FF IX alot more as well, but my all time favorite is and always will be FF VI.

good point. But the trailers looked a lot better then Spirits within ever did IMO. I have only played 26 hours of FFVI, got stuck on that island or something. I do think I will like AC, we'll just have to see what other people will think of it after it has come out.
The problem is I have never been one to go by what others have said ^^. I enjoyed "Spirits Within" and did not presume it was going to be like a FF game, hence the reason it did nto bug me. The graphics on SW was not bad considering the year it was created. That is like comparing a movie from the 50's and a movie today. You cannot just go by graphics.
Speaking of other game to film projects:
Mario was bad
Residnet evil 1 and 2 were bad
I love silent hill but I'm not looking forward to the movie next year
As for square updating old games, which lionlake put forth I think,
I've mentioned the unofficial port of Crono Trigger to GC, xbox and PS2 before, but there's one coming out eventually. It might be cool.
