Message: [QUOTE="Karaswinglet, post: 25702, member: 1623"] Fantastic article, really nice read! Video games adaptation are always been a guilty pleasure of mine and they make such fantastic material for a movie night with friends to relax and laugh a lot, almost like watching movies of great comical actors like Steven Seagal. I remember we were so eager to see Street Fighter in theaters, especially after the amazing animated movie, which had such a weight and care in fighting scenes. We laughed a lot with the live action and loved Raul Julia but we weren't that impressed. So we went to see Mortal Kombat with low expectations... just to be blown away, literally. I distinctly remember talking with friends about not being convinced that it would be a good movie and the the main them was blasted trough the cinema at incredibly high volume. We were basically convinced by the title and title music, all the theater was going nuts. The most bizarre thing? As an adaption of one of the goriest games of the time there isn't very much blood at all and we basically didn't realized it during the movie or after it for a long time! I couldn't bear to watch "Welcome to Raccoon City", especially after seeing most of Milla Jovovich "attempts" at RE. They were fun acton movies most of the times but quite a letdown as RE movies, for me at least. But I remember watching "Mortal Kombat", "Monster Hunter" and "Free Guy" with friends, laughing a lot. The laughs really helped with MH, it was such a borefest. Mortal Kombat was quite disappointing as it started in a kinda interesting way but ended up becoming more and more convoluted. So much that I remember Kano becoming our favorite and we hoped he would survive to the endgame instead of Cole and his masochistic power. Anyway, such a great read! great topic and nice writing style! Oh, and you really sold me on watching "Hundreds of Beavers", it sounds really like a movie I'd love! [/QUOTE]
