Games That Should Be Movies

Instead of making ten thousand sequels to movies that don't need them like Taken. Do you know they're planning on making a Taken 3? Yeah, stupid right. I remember when Taken came out, it was awesome. It had that epic atmosphere to it. Especially that line that Liam Neeson says "I will find you and I will kill you". Man, that gave me goosebumps all over. But then they ruined it by making Taken 2. Seriously how many times can someone from his family get kidnapped?

So instead of making pointless sequels, film makers should start looking into making movies from video games. I know they've made some and are planning on others. Unfortunately there were a few failures like Doom. Yeah, that movie sucked. The game wasn't even all that great. But there have been a few good movies based off games like Prince of Persia and Resident Evil.

There is one coming out that I am very excited for: Assassins Creed. If you haven't ever played any of the Assassins Creed games, you should. They're awesome. But the Assassins Creed movie is coming out in 2015 of course because everything else is too. There really hasn't been any information about the movie except that Michael Fassbender is going to be playing Desmond Miles/Altair. Which is awesome. Fassbender is a great actor and I can see him playing Altair really well.

Another one coming out is Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. If you've never played the Ghost Recon games, they are also awesome. I am not sure who is going to be in it, all I know is that Michael Bay is directing it. So you can probably expect a lot of explosions. But it should be awesome.

Now for the games that should be turned into movies, I have a few I would really like to see:

Uncharted. Uncharted is kinda a lot like Indiana Jones. The story follows Nathan Drake a decedent of Sir Francis Drake. He's a treasure hunter who believes he has learned the location of El Dorado, the city of gold. But things become complicated when a rival hunter joins in the search.  There have been three games so far.  There has been a lot of talk about making an Uncharted movie. There was actually some talk about Mark Wahlberg starring as Drake, but the project was shut down. I actually heard the other day that Naughty Dog, the company that made the Uncharted games, has asked Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to make it numerous times, but they kept refusing because it's too much like Indiana Jones.

Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption is a western game and probably the best I've ever played. The game follows John Marston, a former outlaw who gets blackmailed by the government to hunt down his former partners in crime. They should really make this into a movie, especially with the lack of good western movies nowadays.

Mass Effect. Mass Effect is a futuristic game. The game follows Commander Shepard who must stop a plot to exterminate humanity throughout the galaxy. Think of how the Star Trek and Star Wars universes are. That's pretty much how the Mass Effect universe is. Tons of different planets with different species of aliens. There have also been three Mass Effect games so far. They could easily make a Trilogy out of these movies or even go father. Obviously it will never beat Star Wars nor Star Trek, but it would be cool to have another successful sci-fi universe.

Halo. Halo follows super-soldier John-117, Master Chief. He must battle a genocidal alien race known as the Covenant following his violent crash-landing on Halo, an ancient and mysterious ring-world. There are a lot of Halo games. This is another game they should really make into movies. More sci-fi, just like with Mass Effect, they could turn Halo into a lot of movies. Awesome movies.

Gears of War. Gears of War follows Marcus Fenix in Mankind's epic struggle for survival against the Locust, a nightmareish race of creatures. The games are extremely bloody and I wouldn't expect any less from a movie. The games are pretty awesome, although the first one is probably the best in my opinion.

Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Skyrim is probably one of the best games I've ever played. It's like a combination of Lord of the Rings and pretty much every other awesome medieval fantasy movie. A lot of stuff happens in this game so I'll just give a small summery. The game follows the Dragonborn, a hero born with the power of The Voice and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons and the only one who can kill dragons. The game takes place in Skyrim during a civil war between the Empire and a rebel force called the Stormcloaks. While this civil war is happening, Dragons have returned to Skyrim. It's a ridiculously awesome game. Everyone should play this game.

Far Cry 3. I will admit, I never played the first two Far Cry games, but Far Cry 3 is awesome. The game follows Jason Brody who skydives with his brothers and friends on vacation. Things don't turn out as planned, especially when they are captured by an insane warlord named Vaas. And they are expected to be sold into slavery. But when Jason escapes, he begins to journey into the heart of insanity on a quest for revenge and devotion to save his friends and end the war that enslaves the citizens. It's a really cool game. Definitely has movie potential.

There are a few other games I would like to see, but they'd be tricky. Like Bioshock, The Legends of Zelda, and Castlevania. But all three would be awesome movies too as long as they make them correctly.

Is The Rock Ruining Movies?

Dwayne The Rock Johnson. He has been in way too many movies recently. Especially The Fast and the Furious movies. 

It was okay for him to be in Fast Five, but why was he in Fast Six and upcoming Fast Seven? He isn't an important character. He's a cop. Dom and Brian and the rest of them are criminals. So why do they keep helping Hobbs?

He was also in G.I. Joe 2. Why? That movie was kinda dumb anyway. Why did they kill off Duke? He's the main character! Take it that the first movie pretty much sucked too and the only reason they're kind of cool is because of Snake Eyes. 

The only movie I actually want Dwayne Johnson in is an Expendables sequel. Vin Diesel needs a part in one too. 

But seriously, people stop casting Dwayne Johnson in everything. He's not even a very good actor. He's just big. 

Who Will Be Lex Luthor?

Many rumors have been thrown around since the Man of Steel debuted, who will play Lex Luthor? Obviously they're going to have him eventually, hence all the "Lex Corp" stuff in Man of Steel. 

Most recent news is that Mark Strong is in talks to play Superman's arch nemesis. You may remember Mark Strong played Lord Blackwood in Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. He is a great actor and he could play Lex very well.

Hopefully, they will show Lex Luthor how he was meant to be like in the comics, not as he was shown in the previous Superman movies. Lex is a billionaire genius enemy to Superman. In previous Superman movies he has been too corny and comedic. He wasn't serious enough and what was up with him wearing a wig? Lex isn't ashamed of his baldness. 

A perfect example of Lex Luthor being awesome as he should be shown in Man of Steel 2 is how he was played in Smallville. One good sign that they are going in the right direction is "Lex Corp". Since they've already put that out there, he will obviously have his company play a big part in his life in Man of Steel 2.

Plus Mark Strong is familiar with DC Comics already having played Sinestro in Green Lantern. It hasn't been confirmed, but since Green Lantern didn't do as well as everyone hoped it's not going to be leading up to The Justice League. So unfortunately, Ryan Reynolds wont be playing Green Lantern.

As for suggestions for other actors to play Lex. I really don't have any. But a few people have thrown out a few names:

Guy Pearce. I could actually see him playing Lex pretty good. Since his role in Iron Man 3 as Aldrich Killian, he proved to be a good villain. Plus, he can pull off the baldness, which he also proved in Seeking Justice. So I see how he would be a good choice. 

Jason Isaacs. He plays a great villain, but I don't think he's the right type of villain for Lex Luthor. His roles in The Patriot and Harry Potter are magnificent, both of those characters were evil, but they had a different kind of evil compared to Lex Luthor. You can never tell when it comes to actors, he could be the perfect fit for Lex.

Tom Hardy. As long as he isn't all buffed out, he could be a good Lex. He sorta reminds me of Michael Rossenbaum as Smallville's Lex. If you remember, Star Trek Nemesis. He played Shinzon. If he has more of that look than his Bane look, he could be a good Lex. His Bane wont have an effect on Man of Steel 2, because they've already confirmed that The Dark Knight Trilogy wont be apart of the Justice League and since Man of Steel is, he could easily take the part. Plus, he's practically bald in everything he's in, so he already has that going for him.

Since I do not know who will be playing Lex Luthor, I am excited to find out who will be taking his role.  

 

Worst Movie Lines Ever

Don't you hate it when you're watching an awesome movie and there's the dumbest line ever in it. You're like, "Come on! You people make a billion dollar box office hit, but you have the stupidest movie line ever in it." There are a lot of movies like that, unfortunately. Here are some:

X-Men: Storm: "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else." - Wow... Is there really a need to state the obvious?

Titanic: Rose DeWitt Bukater: "I'll never let go Jack, I'll never let go" - Literally minutes later, she drops him into the cold ocean...

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones: Anakin Skywalker: "I don't like sand. It's coarse and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth" - One of the very many creepy lines Anakin has in this movie. 

The Fast and the Furious: Brian: "He knows I can box" - Okay. No one cares. 

Transformers: Defense Secretary John Keller: "Well we have one now" - That's why they're showing you now, stupid. 

Batman and Robin: Every Single Quote Everyone Says, Especially Mr. Freeze.


These are my top hated lines, but if you can think of any more, please leave them in the comments below.
