https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/13/17349556/milla-jovovich-monster-hunter-movie A monster hunter movie is being made! It is one of the most unmovie-like games. It has zero plot (unless murdering wyverns is a plot), and the game is almost always a form of grid grinding( farming, monster parts, crystals, etc). *remembers street fighter movie* *shudders*
Street Fighter the Movie was not that bad. It's a cult classic. Now Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, on the other hand, is an abomination.
Just treat everything as an abomination until you see the real thing, that's way your expectation either rise up or stay the same since it can't get any worse than what you already expected it to be. That's what I do for all live-action adaption.
Will they make a game about the movie if the movie is popular enough and then a movie about the game about the movie about the game?
I will lower my expectation. Live action of animated media seems to always flop horribly. IIRC, mila jovovich the one on resident evil live action right? the movies were alright but not superb...
