Castlevania movie: "The whip is still in it"

Paul W.S. Anderson

This is the reason why this movie will SUCK!!! Anderson is the world's second worst director, behind bowle of course. Anyone see Resident Evil? How about the worst movie of all time... Alien Vs Predator? Yup those are his handiworks. I will not pay money for this crap or waste my time with it, solely for the fact of who is directing it. Come on, in the middle of antartica and they don't even need coats??? Gimme a fucking break!

Paul WS Anderson likes to think his viewers are morons.
The plot holes, inconsistencies and simple nonsensical actions in Alien vs. Predator made my brain bleed.



Why can't Gore Verbinski be doing this?
From Pirates to Vampire Hunters!

Many videogames could be made into great movies, namely Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and Metroid if you tried hard.

UNFORTUNATELY

They have terrrrrrrrrible directors and writers make them, why? I don't freakin know! But if you had a great director and writer make it, it would be great.

Resident Evil:Apocalypse and Alien vs. Predator are the worst movies I've ever seen, aside from any Uwe Bowl stuff. CANT THEY FIND SOMEONE TO DO THESE GAMES JUSTICE!?!?!?!?

Quit your bitchin',don't watch if you hate the director.

Anderson ruined what could have been a GREAT sci-fi film... Soldier, featuring Kurt Russell, with a script by David Peoples (Blade Runner, Unforgiven, 12 Monkeys). The script was good, unfortunately the finish product was weak.

Remember, kids, the "W.S." stands for "What Shit".

The reason movies based on video games typically are so bad is (and this is true with everything) money. Movie houses have no incentive to make good video game to movie transitions because they know fans of the video game are going to see it no matter how bad it is. If you can make a movie for pennies and be guaranteed a large number of viewers (i.e. fans of the game), in the eyes of the movie house, why WOULDN'T you do it?

Back to the money again, the people at movie houses with the power of the purse still see video games as an immature medium compared to the hundred year plus age of movies. They aren't going to be willing to take a risk and shell out a billion dollars to make a decent video game based movie that might turn out to be a loss.

You also have to consider the target audience of a video game movie. If the company drops a billion dollars on a movie that only a "small" group of people want to see, it really isn't worth it to them. Let's be honest here, most people won't go see a video game movie unless they've played the game. This takes us back to the first point and it's a vicious cycle indeed :-(

Well I'd HOPE that Castlevania still has the whip.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse the worst video game movie ever? Alien vs. Predator? Obviously, someone didn't see Mortal Kombat: Annihilation...

I hope one of the scenes that reference the game include a man eating a full roast turkey he finds behind a wall.

Mortal Kombat (the first one) is still the best video game movie in my book. That was a W.S. Anderson movie, wasn't it?

Whatever. He's still better than Uwe Boll.

Isn't it a matter of optioning right people for the project? I mean, compared to what a special effects budget for a movie like this looks like what's even an extra million for a decent script? In truth, I think the only thing that's missing from this equation is a director who wants to deliver something that's decent and a writer to help it happen. Not to mention a few actors to aren't villified (spelling?)as B-list already.

Worst video game movie ever? Do not forget House of the Dead... it had like a 10 minute zombie shooting scene, the house was like 30 feet from them, and took them 10 minutes of nonstop gunfire to get there. That's Uwe for ya, he'll butcher Hunter: The Reckoning as well, along with everything else he touches.

This just in: Dracula will be Bill Murray and Simon Belmont will be Owen Wilson.

This is the same Wes Anderson that did Royal Tenebaums and The Life Aquatic, right?

LMAO@14...That's WES Anderson, Not Paul W.S. Anderson...two different people, moron. AvP was terrible, Mortal Kombat Annhilation was terrible, Resident Evil was god-awful, and so now he moves on to my favorite franchise. The aforementioned games sucked, (except AVP, I still play it...gotta love the skeeter!) and when they made the movies, you HAD to have known they were going to suck. I mean come on. Remember when they made Street Fighter? That was my favorite game, but seriously, they ruined it. Oh wait, and then there's Super Mario Brothers...did anyone see THAT crap? The movies are made to be shit. They should just kill Paul Anderson, and make this a manga movie. That's the only way you can guarantee it will be okay, and will not be ruined by CGI.

Only good movie Paul Anderson ever made was was Event Horizon....and even that was no good.

Oh, one more thing, even though he deserves to be hung by his toes and stripped of skin with a potato peeler, spell Uwe Boll's name right. It just makes you look like a moron.
