Re: For Video Game Players

"Final Fantasy? That was a good movie on certain levels (no pun intended) but it had only a passing resemblance to the games--it had no chocobos or magic or androgenous teenagers--so it really doesn't count. It would have done better had they not used the Final Fantasy name.I'm still waiting for someone to buy the rights to develop The Legend of Zelda into a quality film franchise.

Not only does it have a good guy werewolf as opposed to the usual evil werewolves or dumb balls of fur, it also features werewolves vs vampires! Actually, it's just one werewolf versus one very weird looking vampire but it's still entertaining. It's like Underworld but not quite as self-serious.The acting is actually good and it's a shame that most of the actors have been li ... " [More]
