Only because most video game movies have been done by people who didn't care, or even know, about the source material. Many video game cartoons have also had that problem (like DiC Entertainment's Street Fighter cartoon, or Ruby Spears' Mega Man cartoon). |
No, just because it's stupid. Video games are interactive, while movies are not. If you make a movie from a game you're not adapting the video game. You're adapting a random script that was once attached to a video game. You might as well adapt any other random script.
And who are they for?
The gamers would rather have a game. The movie goers don't know the game so it might as well be an original movie. And the general movie goer will certainly not run out after the movie and buy the game, so it sucks as promotional material too.
People who like a video game want another game. Making a movie is a pointless endeavor.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
