RE: Why do almost all video game films fail to impress?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The Last of Us may be the best recent live action adaptation of a game.
Season 1 of Fallout was good. Season 2 was ok but not as great.
Uncharted live action was ok but perhaps only average.
I think you're definitely on to something as far as live action adaptations of games being lackluster go. The bar for films and storytelling is so high. Its such a competitive arena. Unless someone has a next level vision of a story they desperately want to tell. Its easy to fall short of expectations.

I didn't care of Last of Us for the same reasons that everyone else didn't care for it. I only played half of the first game and maybe I should change that. I recall not really liking having to sneak past the sewer dwellers or something like that.
Fallout was good, that's a great one to talk about.
I suppose there are outliers and some successes. I think that Fallout was really good but then again, there wasn't really a story in the actual game was there? World blows up people move on. Maybe I wasn't paying attention well enough. I wouldn't mind seeing a New Vegas in the series or since I am so far behind and watched very little of season 2 maybe they already did.
