The loudmouthed anti-EVERYTHING geeks in the Talkback forums of AICN and those other films number in the hundreds. And they always hate everything, every announcement, every released picture, every reviewed script...everything. They exist to bitch and whine and speculate negatively. Their words are worth less than nothing. And it's so few of them.
Again, I'm not defending a movie I haven't seen yet. But Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat were both hits, and are both widely regarded as the best videogame movies ever. They had weak scripts and plots...they were videogame movies. Event Horizon had a great plot and script, and it's a classic mix of horror and sci-fi. The man directs as well as the material he has to use. Yuh think Ridley Scott could hae made Mortal Kombat any better than it was? Steups.
I don't know anything about the man being a bad director. He's made fun little films out of licenses no one else would touch. If he's given a good script, I'm sure he could do the franchises justice.
Stop being one of the mindless naysayers who whine for whining sake...because it makes one look discerning and elite. :-?
If you think that mortal kombat and resident evil were good dan yuh
have VERY bad taste.
The people at talkback don't hate everything either. And my point was
that it's the WEBMASTERS that were complaining.
If a film's a hit does that make it good? Wasn't pearl harbour a hit and
it was a terrible film. Isn't the phantom menace a bigger hit but the
film is terrible too?
Yes ridley scott could easily make a good film outta mortal kombat.
Your obviously a fanboy for this anderson guy hench the way you
try to pitfully insult me but the very fact that you actually LIKE these
films he made makes you the foolish one.
And lets forget the other people for the moment. I personally didn't
like his films. I loathed RE and MK. Soldier was so so and EH was a
missed oppourtunity. Now this talentless guy is gonna make a film
that I've been waiting for in ages?
From his previous record I ain't holding out on it being good.
Could he surprise me? I hope he can but I seriously doubt it. You may
have enjoyed his films but you are one of the few that do.
