Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 3864, post: 26003, member: 3864"] My brains mostly quips and quotes, so thank you! I like the [I]aesthetic [/I]of Double Dragon, at least. No worries having different tastes though. Heck, tell me what you liked about them, I'd love to hear it. Fallout's pacing really flounders near the end, the Ghoul's story is fantastic but the rest suffers. The Brotherhood protagonist gets shortchanged especially, they backpedal away from his nastier character traits in the latter half of the season. Still though, the production design is gorgeous, the performances are fantastic, and the Neo-McCarthyism story they spin out of the "before the bombs fell" backstory is a great use of the game's setting. I wish it had resembled the Black Isle Fallout games more than the Bethesda style, but I like what they did with it. Much appreciated! "Great comical actors like Steven Seagal" got a fully belly laugh out of me. The new Mortal Kombat brought the blood, but the original embraced the Enter The Dragon roots of the game and built the story around a martial arts tournament; simple, to the point. It's weird how afraid the modern movie is afraid of trampling on the "beloved" lore of Mortal Kombat, crafting an entire story to set the stage for the *actual* Kombat. The actual creators don't care that much, they know it's silly and have rebooted the whole thing, what, three times now? Just go for it! Not at all, the production design alone is amazing, being headed by a guy who worked on Blade Runner, working with the cinematographer from Mad Max 2. It's a good looking movie! It's a shame the directors were apparently terrible to work with, the actors have all called them out and the editor quarrled with them so much he tried to lock them out of the editing bay. That being said, the movie was going to be much more kid-oriented until the husband and wife directing team came in, and I can't say whether that's a bad thing? It seems like no one was entirely satisfied with how it turned out, which is the basis of a good compromise, but here created a movie with some strange tonal dissonance. I've always told people that Crono Cross ripped off the alternate dino dimension, that's a fun argument to have. [/QUOTE]
