Bad reviews mean no more money spent on video game adaptations, hence b-rate movies
I think it's important to note to "gamers" that dislike the discontinuity and accuracy between games and movies, or that are upset with the timeline of release, that bad reviews, and refusal to watch a movie, hinder future films and make producers unwilling to pay out for the genre, thus limiting opportunities to make good adaptations. THAT BEING SAID: I really liked it, I don't play the game but the movie was action-packed, with good fight scenes and great monsters. The best part for me was the realistic and believable reactions (of actors). My kids are hardcore fans of the game and they think the monsters were accurate aside from one being not to scale... lol. They were really negative about watching it because of the reviews until I explained that reviews are basically useless if they focus on anything but the actual movie. They liked the movie overall and how the director made the human world the old world and fit in with the teleporter. Some characters that entered late, died too quickly and didn't contribute to the movie as in the game. They also said it was way more brutal and gory than the game, which I thought was hilarious. Anyway don't ruin the genre for everyone else because of your crappy elistist reviews. Carry-on
