Post here your own thoughts on how you feel about western adaptations [Films] of popular animes, examples include Transformers(which rocked ), Speed Racer and we could not prevent it, Dragonball: Evolution.

Better include that to games and comics. Advice to all game publishers: Avoid Uwe Boll at all cost.

Well, RetroMayday do u know more about the Gears of War film they're making cuz I wanna watch it tho the irony is I haven't played it yet. Any suggestions on where to look for the PC port?

GOW PC is old. You can still find them in retail if you're lucky. IMO second hand market offers better value for game that old. Too bad there's no plan to port GOW2 to PC.

I still don't see any GOW movie trailer yet. Tech and game sites should be buzzing if it's out.

P/S Microsoft! Where's my Halo movie?!!

... is Halo out or did i miss it?

Duh.. Read any newspaper these few years? It's not out yet. There's a long story behind it so please google it before asking. (Pardon for the tone. Actually felt stupid answering that question.)

IMO film adaption of anime must depend on motive and setting. Modern audience prefer elements of realism, eg. bound by real life physics. We generally associate fantasies with art thus it's better for some animes to stay the way they are. Dragonball: Evolution and Speed Racer are just plain weird because of the lack of realism.

Yeahlah.. GoW 2 was not intended to port on PC T_T" Maybe a few gaming plans to make it back!


I have yet to see GTA The Movie though... Excluding Max Payne etc xD

GTA itself is already a complete story. Making a movie out of it beats the reason it's coded that way.

Max Payne movie is OK. But it copies the original storyline mostly so it's quite stale. Games with deep storyline like Halo and GOW with their own comics and novels are better for movies. Hey, reading a book is different than watching the characters come to life.

Yea, still nothing on those video game adaptations, hopefully the director doesn't screw the plot up with an ill-conceived reboot. At least the Hitman film did not attempt to do something other than the source material.

Anyone here thinking of Hollywood trying out a live action adaptation of "One Piece"? I have never considered it as a serious anime and as far as i know "One Piece" is a bucketload of fun, the only way Tinseltown could ruin it would b to give the role of Luffy to a redhead actress but the possibilities are endless!

And I thought there's a Naruto Live Action Movie... :] Dunnoe if everyone wants to watch or not xD

Na.. ru.. to..? Live action? Blasphemy!
It's going to be weird. Very weird.
BTW Transformers 2 FTW!!
