Video Game Movies

Every one knows that movies based on video games tend to suck. They always have, it's just a fact of life. Contrary to popular belief Uwe Boll didn't invent the shitty video-game genre. If you don't know what I mean, I recommend that you take a trip to your local video store and rent the Mario Bros movie. The bottom line is that Video Game movies make money and Hollywood likes money. I get it.

What I don't get is why Hollywoods insits on making on making movies based on fighting games. When I said that Hollywood should remake bad movies yesterday, I certainly didn't mean Street Fighter. A Tekken movie doesn't make sense to me either. Please, just no more Mortal Kombat. I don't think I could take any more of those. Why fighting games? Why not choose a game that actually has a plot? Wouldn't that just make sense? Sure the long rumored Metal Gear movie is probably going to suck, but at least it has potential. At least it has a story.
