Live action adaps...

So, I was thinking about when video games and Anime get optioned for live action remakes and it occured to me that they both have a lot in common... they turn out... not so great. So I am curious to peoples opinions and would like to hear you guys vent.
Just thinking mainly about the disasters that were DragonBall Evolution, Fist of the North Star and the Resident Evil films personally...
But lets also talk about the good, such as Advent Children (OK, not live action), Casshern and... Im lost...

I really liked Silent Hill, and the Mortal Kombats were alright.

I have to admit, Silent Hill was quite faithful to the source material, thou regarding Mortal Kombat, you should check out the series on Youtube on the Machinima Channel... Legacy I think its called.

Dragonball Evolution... hmmmm big FAIL!!!

After reading the Manga I have a lot of complaints now, like what happened to Gokus first tournament? Or the Red Ribbon Army? Who he faces off against WAAAAAAY before Picolo.
And the fight scenes? What the hell, it's been neutered.
But believe it or not... There is something worse...

Lol, X3

Oh Chichiri, just you wait til a live action Slayers is announced... love to see your reaction to that lol
Bet it will be similar to mine if a Sonic film came out...

Being a huge Sonic fan, I scratch my head wondering how it would work regularly... I know of the fan film coming soon, but I remain sceptical (Its live action, with a CGI Sonic). Personally it would have to be animated some way I think...

I wouldnt mind a live action Slayers.... As long as it would be done by Japanese ofcourse. As for Sonic... The only way I see it working is a cgi Sonic. Come on it could work... There's a live action smurfs movie with cgi smurfs...

Japanese know what they are doing, thats why Death Note and Casshern are great films.

Sonic could be done I admit, but I fear it would divide its fan base even more, I mean the arguments you encounter on some forums between comic fans, Sonic X fans and game fans is ridiculous... Im happy I am more of a "Universal" fan there. And plotwise I would rather see SatAM adapted than the games (Though Sonic Adventure 2 would be the exception..)

I agree Death Note was awesome!! Dreading it when America makes their own version though

Dreading it like I'm dreading their version of Akira?

Have any of you heard about the upcoming Phoenix Wright and Devil May Cry live action films?

I heard about Pheonix Wright, but DMC? oh dear... I heard a Gears of War and A Castlevania film were green lit too... but that was a while back.

DMC?! Noooooooooooooooo "takes a breath" ooooooooo. Im sorry but a live action DMC?
I would prefer a cgi movie of that.

Judging by how annoyed you seem by the concept of a live action DMC, I'm guessing you're not that big a fan of the upcoming DMC reboot.


They're also making a Mass Effect and Uncharted movie, but since those games are very cinematic, they have the potential to be good.

Lol I really have no opinions or comments on reboot ATM. But lol I dare to think who they would pick to play good ol Dante.

I know who I wouldnt want to play him... just observe SW Episodes 2 and 3 and youl know who I am talking about.

I would see a Mass Effect film, the games are top quality, it would be a crime if the film wasnt...

I blame George Lucas' crappy writing for killing the character of Anakin more than I blame Hayden Christenson's acting, but yeah, I wouldn't want to see him act Dante.

If there was a Mass Effect film though, I don't think you could make it about Commander Shepard, as that's really the player's story about how they chose to make him/her. Still, there's a great universe with lots of potential for loads of other stories.

Ummmm... Captain Planet, coming to a cinema near you according to Cartoon Network...

Seriously? A Captain Planet live-action film?

I kid you not hahaha

The live action movies of Inspector Gadget and Underdog were terrible

X(


For Underdog they just put a suit on a beagle and used tech to make it look like it's talking. They should of used a Cgi version of the good old Underdog.

Inspector Gadget is a cinematic crime... I was watching Battle Royale last night (Based off a Manga I believe) and it was AWESOME! Not seen it in ages.
