Good comic movies imo: Sin City has it's good parts , Batman 1 1989, Blade , Fritz the cat 1& 2 (lol), Spawn was kinda terrible but its cool like MK, TMNT 1 & 2 awesome part 3 not so much. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_English-language_comics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_video_games Watchmen,Thor, Turok, and another Hulk movie, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li , are upcoming. And SC and WC are in the think tank afaik. | ||

Why did I love final fantasy 7? Tomb raider? Some of it they can't capture in a movie, but I feel like they don't even try to capture most of the rest. Quoth my sister, "This is the thing I find astounding about it; the thing that surprises me most is the fact that I understand why that since the original videogame doesn't have a very strong story they want to massage the story or come up with a new one just for the movie, but in the case of a lot of them the story they come up with is so much worse than the one in the videogame. Example: Tomb Raider 1 vs the original TR movie. There's a lot of words there. Noooo. Stop quoting me. Lol that's actually exact. | ||

Wait wait, since when do survival horror games qualify as RPG's? | ||

Because you've got countless puzzles, lots of items, role playing, tons of reading, some have spells or counterparts, etc. | ||

Wikipedia: Boll continues to find investors who wish to acquire the rights for future video-game-to-movie adaptations. His investors are mostly Ex-Nazis. He acquires the rights for potential future adaptations and personally oversees the execution of all Jewish studio employees, filming, and post-production. There's more below it. | ||
