Should we demand better? Yes. And eventually, there will be a movie based on a video game that stands on its own merits as a film, that even critics will take seriously. But for that to happen, first Hollywood has to believe there’s money in it.
Like it or not, Anderson is going to be the pair of shoulders that boosts that director up, the one making the movies that earn the money that get the attention of the executives and make that future critical and commercial hit possible.
Odd, but there was a bit about how he usually made a lot of his movies at a financial risk to himself.
In any case, topic title updated.
Suppress the bile and profanity for ten minutes and try to view him as a guy who NEEDS to succeed for the sake of the industry. (http://www.uproxx.com/gammasquad/2012/09/five-reasons-paul-w-s-anderson-deserves-more-credit/)
No.
As a Resident Evil fan just below being a Castlevania fan, just 1,000 different shades of no. I give him no credit. (except for what he did with Mortal Kombat) He might not be Uwe Boll, but he made me detest him with what I was hoping would be a serious take on video game movies that ended up turning into one big love-letter to his wife.
No.

Despite the fact that Sindra posts fairly infrequent, every time she posts she gains so many Respect points she is on par with the regular posters. Gotta love it.
I have to say I share the same sort of sentiment. Honestly, think about what he said too. He is using bad game movies as a profit platform, and waiting for the right moment? Really? How many YEARS is it going to take? It wont happen with him, because that's not his true goal. Only part of that statement is true, in that hes using it to create a profit.
If any director/producer/writer/what have you was serious about creating a good adaptation from games to film, they should look at the blindingly superior adaptations that are widely accessible already; Anime. Compare if you will the difference between Street Fighter II the animated movie, and the live action one. Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie is probably my favorite game adaptation, if not one of my favorite movies of all time. I can literally watch it almost any time spontaneously and enjoy it thoroughly every time. How can you not at least do half as good, with a budget that is likely eight times as big? Even worse, they were released in the same year. How could you be so out classed?
While not a direct example of his work, it conveys the industry wide attitude of neglect, unwillingness to accept the source material as valuable and worthwhile, and the lack of common decent respect that would be required to properly transform a game into a proper film. The Japanese seem to have zero trouble carrying this out with much greater disadvantages on their side. How is it that Hollywood has failed so much?
No.

When I read this the first thing to come to my mind about japan is that well... any one remember dragonball evolution? If you do not that is okay, but if you do look at thisI've watched DB Evolution in cinema, Its a crappy movie but because it didnt have been made in Japan. I've seen Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X trailer 1 only, thank for sharing trailer 2.

A bit different, but it seems to still have that "Wright" sense for the games I guess never played too much if it.
This maybe be the perfect person to make adaptation from games that dont have a story, because he likes to create new things, even when not needed.
PAC-MAN: RevelationsYes, that would make me laugh for days. I cant even imagine if he can do atleast "Pitfall" right.
TETRIS: Cold War
CENTIPEDE: New York Crisis
(Yes I concede that Pac-Man actually does have a storyline, just a very obscure one, but come on, this would be amazing to see how bad it could get!)

Did someone say Pac-Man movie? ;D
If we are talking about the cat named Paul, he is not your cat, he invaded your house breaking into the closed window, and after eating your fish he taken a shit in your new videogame, even if you tried to protect your fish with security cams, traps, and closed doors and windows, yeah its THAT bad. lol
Well if the cat was that determined, it must of been really hungry and my fish has served a higher purpose beyond eating and pooping by providing nourishment to this poor cat. :(Well, if this thing really happened with you and you have these kind sentiments, I can only say that you have a golden heart sir, congratulations and try to stay the same. :)
Though pooping in my new game is kind of mean, but it's just a material item and can be replaced/cleaned.
On another side note: another great videogame movie!

EDIT2: BTW. What the fuck happened to Wesker's accent in the movies?
So Im almost right, cool, I will ask him tomorrow about these special ranks, since I never noticed them I wanna to know more about it :)That would be interesting to know about...also no longevity awards for being part of the forum? Seen alot of people come and go these days, much less post frequently...
Also Im not trying to offend you, I see trolls like people that like to poke fun at others (but there some of them that doesnt know when to stop or make jokes that offend, that are the bad trolls lol, Im not telling that you are one of them tough), I like you.
Wesker didn't originally have an accent in the original game. When Richard Waugh came along and voiced Wesker for Code:Veronica, RE0 and RE4, he put a slight British accent to Wesker's dialogue. Peter Jessup didn't have any accent when he did him in REmake. Then D.C. Douglas took over and voiced Wesker from Umbrella Chronicles on and took all the performances prior to his taking over and meshed them together. Since the Wesker in the 4th and now 5th live-action movies is based off of D.C. Douglas's performance, that's why it's changed.
So yeah, Wesker's never been voiced consistently in the games. Why should the movies be any different?
Sindra, how you exchanged these "hearts" from the rank for a scythe? Im talking about these hearts that is always below our nickname.
Funny how the games and movies are consistently inconsistent from each other in an inverse manner... constantly. :P
Hm, so basically its to mark the old ones, thanks.
But then the studios decided to give into fan desire for actual live-action depictions of canon RE characters and events, and made the mistake of thinking Paul Anderson and his writers were actually going to adhere in any way to the games story and that he wouldn't shove his wife into the spotlight as the Super Mary-Sue that outshines all others.
Well, my wife is a superhero and will always save their inferior asses.

I think it woulda been awesome if Gabriel fought Cthulhu instead of The Forgotten One; it would've made him seem that much more badass & permanently mark Dracula as the true King of Chaos, every evil being in existence in allegiance to him. Can you imagine Cthulhu begging for mercy upon his defeat? Woulda been badass i tells yaTHIS! We're already dealing with the old Gods (like Pan) so why not the old ones as well? I mean, Gabriel would go on to fight Cthulhu if it furthered his ambition to acquire the god mask without giving it a second thought. Also being the harbinger of insanity and all other things the devs really could have gone wild (think trippier than the fight against Dracula in Harmony of Dissonance for environment colors and such)
only other vg character that has the strength & courage to defeat Cthulhu is Kratos, PROVE ME WRONG
