Doa The Movie

[angomeka]

I know. Look what they have done with Comic book movies.

Comic book to movies use to suck like the old Captain America movie, and Daredevil meets the Hulk Movie. But that was mostly because they had bad speical efficts and crappy storylines but now you got X-Men, the new Batman movie, and Spiderman that proves that the move to the big screen can be done. Now what they need to do with video games is to pick better games like Splinter Cell (which i think is already in the works) to make movies off of. Leave the Mario Brothers, Double Dragon, and Street Fighter (shutter) video game to movie ideas alone.

IMO bad special effects and crappy storylines were just the symptoms; The disease was that most of the time they were just not taken seriously. Superman, for instance, was pretty good (though I can't stand that scene where he and Lois are flying and you can hear her thoughts), and that came way before stinkers like Street Fighter and Double Dragon. I think more comic book and video game movies now are getting the "serious" treatment, though that's not to say there aren't still a ton of crappy ones.
