Because its a movie based on a video game.  Unless this becomes the first ever good movie thats based on a video game, we can assume it will be lousy if it ever does get made.

There's no need for that. It's just being prejudiced, ignorant, and stubborn. It's ok if you don't expect much from it, but don't just think it will suck right away.

Not being prejudiced, just realistic.  I don't think Hollywood takes the sub-genre of video game movie adaptions very seriously.  That's why the majority of video game movies are poor.  They usually do not have very strong budgets, and also they tend to be "dumbed down", as they are tailored to the perceived audience that the movie industry believes would go to see a video game movie: teenagers looking for a typical action movie with very little depth.

Of course you never know what a particular director could do with a script.  There's always a chance that it could be good, but based on past history I'm not expecting much.

[Profbeanburrito]

No, he got back in on it months ago. But I don't know exactly what he's doing, I think he's helping to write it

He wasn't directing, he was the writer.

Really? It's about CV3, and has Leon cameos. That seems to be all aside from Trevor having a brother named Christopher which people tend to think that it's the same Christopher from CVA and BR(I doubt it's the same one).

By the way, what do you mean "doesn't look to be good"? Has anything actually been shown?

See this is the problem, they are already making major changes to the existing timeline. Altering the plot I don't care but they need to leave the timeline alone. And there's been so many rumors and such going around it's hard to distinguish fact from fiction. if they want to make a film based on cv3 it needs to feel like cv3 and at least have the correct cast if anything.

What major changes have been done? I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's in your original response.

Leon cameos.

Now if it's just leon flashbacks from 5oo years before that'd be cool.

Trevor having a brother named Christopher
trevor had no mention of family in the first game and if he did wouldn't they want to help being from the same godly bloodline? Hell I ain't letting my bro go off and fight an army of evil by himself and probably commit suicide.

Leon cameos.

Exactly. There's probably going to be a big scene with Leon at the beginning and Dracula will probably have flashbacks.

The problem is, when people see a game be made to a movie, they expect it to be exactly like the game was and that just isn't going to happen! It goes the same way for books into movies, its never going to be exactly on and people will always complain, oh they should of did this and why did they do that. This movie, im not exactly sure how good its going to be or not, but I will welcome it when it comes, to say it will suck now is just plain stupid, I'm not concerned if Trevor and Christopher(If its the same as CV:A which I don't think it is either but still)are in the same movie, in fact, I think it would be cool if two Belmonts together, makes it interesting to see how they think separately.

My opinion of this movie is, if it sucks, it better suck hard and suck hilariously like the Street Fighter movie. And if it doesn't suck, awesome. It's the middle ground that tends to piss me off (when a movie is bad, but only enough that it's really boring, ie the Dungeon Siege movie).
