Paul W.S. Anderson sucks. Options

This is the man who brough you movies like Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Alien VS Predator, and Dead or Alive. I have a huge issue with the fact that he managed to get the rights to a Castlevania movie. In his better days, he brought us Event Horizon, and Mortal Kombat, but since then his movies has been shit, and I fear heavily he will continue his streak. Allow me to go into frustrated detail.

Resident Evil: An ok survival horror movie, with cheesy one liners, action, and decent effects which introduced new characters, and put a twist to the series. An ok survival horror flick, but a bad resident evil flick.

Resident Evil Apocalypse: An attempt to have sex with the series by having characters from the movie interupt and interact with characters from the resident evil game story. I'm all for chicks kicking ass in movies, but they were just like, "Fuck it, let's make alice a god of combat!" I cringe that they plan on making a third movie with alice interacting with more of the games characters, and likely story.

Alien VS Predator: Three predators, the most badass hunters ever, rush in to take on some mean nasty aliens, and make them their bitches. Unfortunetly we barely got to see anything with the constant flashing of lights and extreme close ups during the fight. Executed way poorly. Oh yah, two of the three predators die about 4 minutes into the movie, and then the last one decides to make a weapon for, and "team up" with the lonely little human. Predators are proud hunters, they don't need the help of a fucking human. The ending showed room for a sequel! Joy! The director is different, but the writers are the same, let's hope for better results.

Dead Or Alive: I didn't even watch this piece of shit. The previews sucked, and the three people I got reviews from said it was just a cheap copy of Charlies Angels.

Castlevania is one of my favorite gaming series of all time, and already he has the badass invincible chick to save the day once again. Introducing Sonia Belmont! Why can't this guy ever stay canon to the fucking series he's making a movie of? He's getting worse than Uwe Boll. I can't wait to see him fuck up yet again, another great series, along with his 7 sequels to follow.

No video game movie is good. They just don't translate well, it loses something without the interactive experience. Even "great" game stories like MGS or whatever passes for an "awesome" story in games (I can't even think of any other examples) are pretty trite, cliche, and just terrible when looked at from a non-game perspective.

As far as the action scenes go... isn't it always cooler when you were the one who did it, instead of some dode you watch on a movie screen? "The best part was when I totally dodged the chainsaw guy and then blasted his face with a shotgun, FUCKOWNED!" or "The guy playing Leon in the movie did a lame barrel roll to the side with some wire fu, and then there was a slo-mo matrix shot of the CG bullets flying into the obviously fake Dr. Salvador."
