I enjoyed playing this game as a kid. Don't see this as a movie though.

[MannyIsGod]

This summer is chock full of movies I want to see so no.

[coyotes_geek]

Get old enough and you'll see that Hollywood has been running on empty for decades now.

[JoeChalupa]

There aren't many movies that have excited me that much in years. Even Avatar wasn't a must see for me.

[jjktkk]

One of my favorite games, growing up. I won't see it in the theatres, but will probably rent it, when it comes out on DVD.

Besides super 8 I can't think of a movie that isn't a comic book movie or a sequel this summer. Can't edit for battleship the movie through

[CubanSucks]

seeing those robots boxing was as goofy as those retarded ass cgi monkeys in the new planet of the apes trailer

[JoeChalupa]

Knowing they are CGI doesn't ruin a movie for me. I know full well that all movies are just that...movies. They are not real so I just play along for entertainment purposes.

cgi doesn't ruin anything for me either. I just thought that both the monkeys and robots looked silly

Yeah, the monkeys do like kind of strange but also creepy. Will man mate with a hot monkey?

Yeah, I know. There are actually movies coming out this summer I want to see also; I just saw this trailer and couldn't believe someone thought it was a good idea.

Did you see the Planet of the Apes movie with Mark Wahlberg? There were scenes in that movie where Helena Bonham Carter was still hot even through all the ape makeup. :lol

No, it's not like horse. Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, duh!

If it makes money it is a good idea in Hollywood. Just like the remake of True Grit. Didn't see any reason to do that.

Helena Bonham Carter couldn't look hot even in the nicest outfit and prettiest make up

That booharv guy was right, you must be hideous. I mean extraordinarily grotesque.

[JoeChalupa]

I thought Helena looked hot. I wouldn't go ape shit over her but still.

^ this vato gets it!

Hollywood is all about renting an 8 dollar seat for an hour and selling you sugar!

Are you crazy? You realize in a lot of her movies they make her look weird on purpose, right?

She's beautiful. Especially the eyes (which made it through the 'ape makeup' :D).

Yes I realize that, and they didn't have to work very hard in doing so. I won't say she's flat out ugly cause she's not, but she's extremely plain at best

[TDMVPDPOY]

seems like they have run out of ideas and shit

dont get me started with the reboots, reboots are always shit then originals

then you have the superhero movies not original to the comics, seriously nobody gives a shit about ur own POV how the story should be telled, stay true to the comics damn it...(then again most super heroes movies always have the same cliche anyway, gets boring..for example there be a time the superhero will be emo and start think "what am i to these ppl, doing all these heroic acts, maybe i should quit and get a normal life..." )

[mouse]

I heard they might do a remake of "La Bamba" Richie lives!

That looks like Michael Jackson tbh.

It's not that Hollywood is empty, is that they are overloaded with shit films and you probably miss the good ones because they don't have tons of CGI and action heroes.

I was thinking along different lines. Many of us who had such toys growing up would like to see the artistic implementation to film. Even if it isn't a blockbuster, it will draw a large audience.

[Creepn]

What, nobody is looking forward to Harry Potter 7 p.II??

[mouse]

Maybe Hollywood is making shit films on purpose to get back at the Torrent sites.

[jimo2305]

lol as soon as i saw the trailer for the robot movie for the first time.. 10 seconds in to it i was like 'u have got to be kidding me..'


it's pretty clear they're not even trying to make good movies anymore
