...you CAN'T make a movie out of this! Deus Ex is just too good! It's like The Matrix minus the gay.

The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly. |

Never make a movie out of a game. It will always do horrible. Even though there's only 1 game-to-movie transition I can think of (Final Fantasy, pretty bad movie), every game should stay a game. I barely played Dues Ex and I know they'd kill it.

Yeah, speaking of game movies, I can't wait until they bufu the Mechwarrior series. I'll be panting awaiting that film until the day it's released, just so I can be devestaded when it doesn't meet my epic expectations.

Tomb Raider was a huge success and wasn't all that bad of a movie. Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within (something like that anyways) wasn't bad it was just artsy. The CG animation was ahead of it's time but if you don't like movies that aren't action packed it probably wasn't something you enjoyed.
But, yeah, there is a long tradition of Hollywood making horrible movies based on good games (Super Mario Brothers, Street Fighter, Resident Evil etc). The main problem, I think, lies in the fact that Hollywood usually picks games with little to no plot so they can have free reign. The are some really good RPGs that would make decent movies (FF3(6) comes to mind) the problem is that you couldn't fit all the story into one movie without cutting a ton out or otherwise butchering it. Another problem is it's hard to get talented actors into the projects since in the past anytime anyone said "Video Game" they automatically thought "Oh, so kiddie shit, right?" That's begun to change with more mainstream games that were popular to almost inheard of levels like the GTA series. Deus Ex could be a good movie, if Hollywood stuck to the actual game plot (which they wouldn't). Hell, if you think about it the game pretty much already is a movie, just one that you get to shoot things while watching. Mechwarrior wold make good movies, if the Battletech storyline wasn't so massive. You could easily get a trilogy out of only a very small portion of the story that's already out there on it. And now that I think of it? GTA or GTA Vice City would also make some kick ass movies.
