There are too many games being made into movies.

I think all big games that are possible to make into movies should be made into movies. There's always the chance that one will be great.

Review potential prediction (not using typical movie critic metric who reward French movies and such garbage):

Gears of War - 3/5 ***
Dante's Inferno - 5/5 ***** (I'm so excited for both the game and the movie)
Bioshock - 4/5 ****
Prince of Persia - 2/5 **
World of Warcraft - 3/5 ***
God of War - 4/5 ****
Uncharted - 4/5 ****
Lost Planet - 3/5 ***
Shadow of the Colossus - 4/5 ****
Infamous - 3/5 ***

Next should be Elder Scrolls, Alan Wake and Assassin's Creed
(also I hope Wolfenstein, Fallout, Fable, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, The Last Guardian, Zelda, Halo some day.. there's so many)

I disagree on this one... firstly it's a Warcraft movie, in particular to the franchise and not just the MMO, secondly it's being directed Sam Raimi who is a veteran of film-making with a respectful pedigree behind his belt (The Quick and the Dead / Spiderman / Evil Dead), it has the full support of Blizzard and Chris Metzen is co-producing it, it also has Legendary Picture doing CG effect... (Batman, 300). The force behind this film is huge and very promising, I think it will be both a commercial and critical hit. (To give you an idea Spiderman 1&2 are both 90+ on Rotten Tomatoes and Evil Dead is at 100 with its sequal @ 98, Sam has made some mediocre film before but nothing below the 3 star average mark and mostly above that)

I'm happy you didn't object to the whole list completely lol.

I'm with you. I stand corrected. WoW will be a great and very epic movie. I dunno how they'll incorporate a story into an MMO, but now that you reminded me about the resources behind it, Sam Raimi and everything, u got me excited. And other people should be too. The negativity in this thread is saddening.
