When i heard that the Doom movie would be about an alien invasion of some earth base i just lost faith in any possibility of hollywood making a decent game to movie adaptation.

When they actually take a game in which the plot is thinner than most of the big budget action movies, thus making it a straight adaptation shoe-in, strip everything but the name and make it even more bland than it was to begin with, you know they've hit rock bottom.

I heard Nintendo was thinking about making a movie on their own, without any studio input. More power to them, though i'm sure it'll suck hard.

I guess games just haven't been around long enough and reached a point in which they can be considered the 8th art as the movies came to be the 7th. Maybe in a couple of decades they'll get more respect.

You don't see books being completly butchered and re-written from scratch for a movie adaptation in the same level as they do games now do you?
