Lemon Head Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I thought the myth books were superb, i reckon they could be successfully transformed onto the screen if done correctly. If it was done i think it would come out as a thinker/atmosphere film rather than any action-esque thing - and be all the better for it. It could be the only game-2-movie that was worth seeing (except the street fighter 2 manga - that's well good) a Monkey island film would suck though, i mean if you look at the quality of game/movie conversions so far it would SO not work, they'd cock it up beyond all reckognition. I reckon Sam n Max would have more chance of being a success if they based the humour and plots around true purcellism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapezoid Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 What have all the game-2-movie conversions been though? Tomb Raider, Mario Brothers, Mortal Kombat... Now compare THOSE games' plots with Monkey Island's plot. Which seems more natural for a movie? A Monkey Island movie wouldn't have to be based on the game, it would be based on the plot and characters. A lot of movies get their plots from books... "Monkey Island" would be a cool pirate movie, that's how people would view it, not as a movie based on a game like Tomb Raider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raVen_image Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 "Fellowship of the Ring" lived up to my expectations. Except... They left out one of my favorite lines from Gandalf... "Do not temp the patience of a wizard ....for they are subtle, and quick to anger" (One of my favorite quotable lines, ever.) On the other hand... The scene where the Ring-Wrath was searching for the ring, right above Frodo and the hobbits as they hid under a log, will be remembered, by me, as one of the most frightening, suspenseful scenes ever filmed.

scabb Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 If any LEC game was to be made into a movie, then Id choose Grim Fandango, not those stupid Star Wars games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I just got back from seeing LotR... The scariest part was when Bilbo went psycho for a moment when Frodo wouldn't give him the ring. Large Marge-esque.
