Actually no, it is not distinct at all.  MK and SH are not similar at all.  Neither are Doom Mario Bros.  How about RE and Final Fantasy?  No, didn't think so.

And Gimph, you said it would make the series look bad in non-fans eyes, you are still equally wrong and it is virtually the same thing.

Thank you
Someone see's the point I was trying to make at least.

#15 - How is it not distinct? They all have one thing in common, they all get their source material from video games.

Secondly I never said anything about them being a genre of their own in the first place, I only mentioned the fact ... sorry.... my opinion... that all Games to Film adaptions have been lacking in the story department or deviate radically from the material they come from and thus need to improve in quality before i put any trust in a film based off a game being any good.

Grouping together video game movies is like grouping together movies based on books, besides coming from the same type of source material they have nothing in common.  And the type of source material has nothing to do with a movie or what it is about.  Movies are stories on film, regardless of what medium they may be taken from.  So I stand by saying grouping video game movies together does not make sense.  The Cv movie is shaping up to be atleast as true to the source material as MK was.

Getting back on topic:

... it's.... SUCKING?

[Gimph]

You'd think they'd have given up on Castlevania movies by now...?

Although, I'm gonna try being optimistic and say it might be good!

[CVfan13]

Stop being childish.

*sigh*

Intolerance to the opinions of others? You're the one who's being childish.

Although, I'm gonna try being optimistic and say it might be good!

I've been trying too. I know that no matter what, the fanboy in me will end up loving the movie, and all it's neat references.

Yep. I mean, if a Castlevania movie comes out, we're all going to go and see it. Sure, it might be crap, but we wouldn't know that until we were already in the cinema (or the DVD was already in the drive).

And even if we know it's going to be crap, we're still going to want to see it. We, Castlevania fans, can't NOT see a Castlevania movie.

[Long John Silver]

that's why i'll download it. if it'll be crap, i won't lose any money. if it'll be decent i'll have some ammo to discuss, while still not wasting money.

it's a win-win situation.

[A n t r a x x]

I'll prolly at least rent it.

At the very least, we'll have something to laugh about!

There ya go, nice way to look at it.

The script I was referring to was the one with Simon & Christopher. I have an in-depth review of that script sitting on my desk. I thought I heard that it was totally re-worked into a Trevor/CV3 story, which is good because the Simon/Christopher script didnt sound too promising...at least not in true CV fashion.

If it's true, that new script will be a lot better.  Maybe it will feature Alucard and Sypha.  That would be nice.  If Alucard is in it, hopefully they will use his SotN look.

Alucard sypha and grant are in it.  I told you to pm me your e-mail and I'll send you a part of the script.

i hope Alucard is played by Stephen Dorff (of Blade fame)
