Agreed.

Take a game which is an driving simulator, and turn it into an action movie. 

Don't they have another driving IP that they can water down with bad movies?  I guess we'll see Action/Adventure GT games in the future rather than the technology pushing simulators.

Oh you've seen the movie already? How was it?

Also, can I borrow your time machine? Need next weeks lottery numbers

Thanks!

First of all...

Sony hasn't won an Academy Award for best picture since 1982 (Gandhi).  They haven't won a best director award since 1987 (The Last Emperor). 

While Sony ended up with the highest market share for 2012, it did so by releasing the most movies.  However, despite that, the highest grossing film they released in 2012 was Skyfall, at #4.  If you combined Sony's top two grossing films from 2012, they still don't best or equal the three top three films that year.  This year, Sony is down all the way to #6, without a single top-ten grossing film.

Expecting a Sony film to be high-quality entertainment is an exception, not the norm. Columbia is typically Sony's quality film studio.  It's kind of like what New Line Cinema was like before Lord of the Rings. 

Note:  Warner Bros. has completely absorbed New Line, so they are no longer a running entity but they used to be known for their low-quality films. 

Finally, No.  I've already won next weeks lottery.  Sorry.
