Glad for the movie goers and the fans, nonetheless, RT has quasi no accuracy as an indicator really.

It sounds really promising.
I wonder if Sonic 3 can reach $1 billion in the box office?



Its bananas that 86% is the highest rating for a videogame movie.

Someone should make an arthouse film, the kind critics love.

I knew Keanu Reeves as Shadow was the right call. ^^



We've come a very long way since the reveal of that original design. XD

Adapt Ico over 3 hours with absolutely no dialogue. Denis Villeneuve would probably direct it for free.



It was great!



Still waiting for the first genuinely great game to movie adaptation. These have been just adequate so far. Will probably give this one a chance tomorrow.
