There seems to be some hype for this movie coming out in December, and I'm not sure why. As far as I know, there has never been a single live action adaptation of a video game to ever approach even mediocre quality. And no, don't say the Tomb Raider movies if that's what you're thinking of, because as always, there's a difference between quality and success. Those were shit. And why would this one be any different, exactly? Because of the pedigree? Actors like Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, who by the way, just starred together in the last movie that this guy Justin Kerzel directed, which was Macbeth and which completely bombed last year. I just don't see any reason to give video game adaptations the benefit of the doubt, until one actually proves itself. And this one looks a lot like the others to me.
