I've been thinking about video game movies lately. The first video game movie I remember seeing was
Super Mario Bros. and what a glorious piece of shit that was. For the last several years Hollywood has been on a remake kick, with comic books, old T.V. shows, old movies, and of course video games, I guess they just ran out of originality and have to ruin our old favorites.
When I first heard about the
Hitman movie I was pretty excited, until I saw this pussy looking dork they decided would portray Agent 47. But that's an entirely different rant. The same thing with
Max Payne, these guys were supposed to be hardened killing machines, not pampered looking, mediocre at best actors. But I digress.
On to
Zelda. Since the
Mario movie, Nintendo hasn't been dishing out the rights to Hollywood for their major franchises. And I am very grateful for that. There have been some fan made
Zelda movie trailers, which are good for what they are. But not every video game needs to be made into a movie.
Zelda isn't about epic battles and thick storylines. It's about engaging gameplay, some puzzle solving, and a fairly generic "rescue the princess" storyline. Some (all) video games just need to stay games. Please don't take a shit all over one of the most loved video game franchises of all time.
That being said, there is no conformation of, or real plans of a
Zelda movie, just a few rumors. This is more of a rant about video game movies in general.
