Movies vs Games

  Movie VS Games

            The games being turned into movies lately have been nothing but utter disappointments. I just don't understand the need to turn something amazing into something so mediocre. For example every Transformer movie is top notch while the games they keep producing is crap. I just think that they should be separate from each other unless they have a master piece on their hands. As far as I am concerned they have not produced anything worthy but it works both ways movies should not be turned into games neither.  In my experience I can only think of a few titles that were of any success like the movie DOOM which actually turned out alright and the Wolverine Orgins game which was actually pretty cool to play. They are talking about making a Splinter Cell movie which Tom Hardy would be playing Sam Fisher which shows promise but so did all the others. Good actors can only help a movie so much but when the expectations are really high the movie is never as good as they hype that leads up too it. Even the Hitman movie looked beautiful in the previews but when you watched the movie we all got another mediocre movie showing us that it should not be done. There is one movie that did make the cut that I can think of which is Star Wars which produced some amazing games and did not take away from the most amazing films in my opinion of the last 40 years. They came out with a lot of games like the old republic series which hands down the best game for x box that I can think of there is also the force unleashed franchise. The only reason I think these games were so successful is because they stayed away from the main story line which in most cases wouldn't be a success but these games were. Final Fantasy did the same thing they did a sequel to the most amazing game ever made Final Fantasy 7. The movie was visually stunning but it was animated which probably helped it to be such the success that it should have been. The Advent children movie was probably the best movie that started as a game and ended with a movie which most of the movie to game conversions should look at and follow. Long story short people need to stop making movies because they were great games just to make a quick buck or two it's really bringing down the game and the reputation of the company's that get involved.
