My toughts:
One more videogame-based movie to add to the long list of so-so videogame-based movies, or thats what the trailer alludes to. Granted the budget seems to be "big-ish" by comparison to it's predecessors, but I would agree that the lack of a "plot" that doesn't seem to tie into the game's universe is a little odd. Alteast Mortal Kombat made sense...
(speaking of that, I've herd rumors that a third Mortal Kombat is in the works...)
Things to do to save the movie:
- Sho uz yr bewbs!!! There needs to be some senseless nudity in this movie, granted a bit tasteful (alike the game), but nudity nonetheless.
- Tie it into the games! Thats what made Mortal Komabat 1 allright, it made sense! Don't go all House of the Dead on us and just use a licence for licence sake, as the fans are going to be the ones who see the movie.
- "mother f'ing snakes off this mother f'ing plane" line is needed, now! Again, learn from SOAP, let the fans take control. The only way they are going to be successful with this movie is by letting the fans write dialouge, redo some scenes, etc.
