January 2019: wow they may be right detective pickachu looks great!
April 2019: *sonic trailer realeases*...Nope
@DJFLIPPIN MASTER Detective Pikachu actually was great. And I think Sonic will be much better once they fix his design.
MP yea it looks good but we need a classic looking sonic and still it looks pretty good
It has nothing to do with the Pokemon story.
Its a movie.., with Pokemon in it as a joke
Yup. Literally nobody asked for it.
How do you know if it is bad if it isn't even out
I feel like animated series are the best way to capture video games. They have more time to cover large storylines and can capture the feel of video games better with their art styles.
Just look at Castlevania!
Live action TV shows can do so as well
you wrote this 3 years before arcane... and you were right
me too. the mario movie wasnt great, but it wasn't terrible.
Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, The Angry Birds Movie 2 and the Sonic movies (both 1 & 2 in 2022) are the only video game film adaptations that have a fresh Rotten Tomatoes Score each, so that means something.
And they came out a couple years after this video was made, so the prediction was right!
Ironically angry birds 2 doesn’t follow any of the game’s story, it’s a new one.
(Yes I play angry birds, I know that only Rio, Star Wars, Stella (it counts), and maybe space, have a different “story” than the rest discounting transformers and go)
And Dragon Quest, don't forget Dragon Quest
Just cast Deadpool as pikachu
Maybe we will get a Super Smash Bros Cinematic Universe on par with the MCU.
Funny thing is, I got an ad for the Fallout TV show before the video started.😅
Movies cant adapt video games, but video games can sure as hell adapt movies
XRazer5 I don't completely agree with the first part, but the second part, frick yeah.
Yeah no, 9/10 movie to videogame adaptations are boring tedious, garbage
Battle la
Movie is bad
Game is bad too
So, yeah games can adapt movies xD
Jack Roche You forget that 10/10 videogame to movie adaptations are garbage. So yeah, video games can sure as hell adapt movies.
@@mathunit1 the problem with video game movies is that there is a fine line between taking too much from the source material (stuff like the Mario brother and shit) and more commonly, the ones that take very little (assassin's Creed [which I still believe could work as a rennisance set tv drama], the tomb raider movies (except the new one which was alright) etc.)
Spider-Man ps2 is the best video game based on a movie solely for the pizza mission.
Change my mind.
It's pizza time
@Jon Doski But it's not based on a movie.
PS4 Spider man
Die Hard Trilogy... or maybe Goldeneye.
Pizza time
They were right. Detective Pikachu is destined to set video game movies on the right track
If you’ve jinxed it
My opinion- I disagree
Rampage cough cough
Or sonic hahaha
Black protagonist Yes
6:04 That prediction came true. Detective Pikcahu and the likeable movie Sonic.
Along with the Last of Us series and the Mario Movie.
Anyoneb watching after Detective Pikachu?
That was a good video game movie
Yep
It sucked, you have to be 8 years old to enjoy it
@@MrYagumbus truen't
@@rockststig0663 The Pokemons looked really good, but the actual movie? God it was trash. The plot was inane. When the villain actually revealed his endgame, I was like... "But... why?". Also, I literally fell asleep for a little bit during the lab sequence.
@@MrBuif fair point
10/10 acting
Well its not necessarily acting since these guys actually passionately believe in what they are saying.
Would love to know how many takes it took for davis and odom to be in sync 🤔 also debates with davis look like too much fun
"Sure, there are some misfires here"
*proceeds to name every DC movie*
Well you're not wrong...
Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam were good films
The DCEU can't even get credit when they get them right while the MCU misfires get swept under the rug and quickly forgiven.
@@mrpj1390 Hey shut the fuck up
@@mrpj1390 the mcu hasn't really made a bad film the one's I'm probably thinking your talking about are just solid
Big marvel fan i know that Iron man 2 and thor the dark world weren’t that good. The only good thing in thor the dark world was thor and loki
The problem with video game movies is they have a story designed around gameplay which a lot of the time can't transition to film due to the nature of how they were written
Alex Morton Last of us.
yup
Street fighter assassin fist series was well received
I still think Last of Us could work as a film.
Edit 4 years later: I don't like the HBO adaptation.
Yes, because thats a story based game. But they probably couldnt add anyithing to what the game already did. I mean the game is already kind of a movie
Harry the cat not kinda it is a movie
That would be awesome what about Heavy Rain? How awesome would that be?
Gordon Shumway You clearly missed the point of the video!
Jonah Barber an INTERACTIVE movie
Detective Pikachu and the *REAL* Sonic movie: Allow us to introduce ourselves
And mortal kombat
Real sonic movie?
@@LORE_EDITZ It was corny, cheesy fun. We all know it's technically horrible.
@@hugo57k91 yeah, there was another Sonic movie a long time ago called the Sonic OVA by most people
Trash
Detective Pikachu actually seems decent
@Caleb Gage Iron Man wouldn't have worked without RDJ either
Akrinor Noname I agree
Because it is
ya if it comes out on netflix im going to watch it it does look decent
It has nothing to do with the Pokemon story.
Its a movie.., with Pokemon in it as a joke
I see that they’re making an Uncharted movie starring Tom Holland and I do actually have high hopes for that.
I also think if they’re turned Spider-Man PS4 was made into a movie it would be the best Spider-Man movie ever made.
@Sujith M They don't need to be an exact copy of The game
@@10tailedbijuu bruh Tom Holland looked too young voice was bad no beard or mustache and he wasn't buff enough and sully even if he jus met him isn't even that old and didn't he meet sully when he was a kid? So the story makes no sense
Nope. Didn’t need it
It was boring. Tom was fine, but he wasn't a convincing young Nate
5:09 kinda came full circle on this statement
"there will never be a good video game move"
*detective pikachu enters the chat*
Not good
Lame
@Noobasaur I loved the first one but still wasn't the best game movie
@Noobasaur nothing is worse than super mario though lol
Detective Pikachu is the best video game movie so far
4:31 does that mean Fallout TV show will be good? It's being done by the Westworld people.
It my not be a movie but there’s always VGHS (video game high school)
Soonami Sapphire I love that show
@@ashton_sommerfield1017 me too
Soonami Sapphire yes
lol, i like VGHS
Hell yes.
This is literally me and my friend talking about the most random S**t.
It’s fun to watch this after the sonic movie.
really
Sure, after everyone complained about the creepy realistic sonic
I liked Sonic when I first saw it but then I thought about it more and was like “Dude that was shit its not even a Sonic movie, legit just put some fast alien there and its the exact same, literally nothing is true to the source material, oh and they copied the Days of future past scenes (i actually hated that even when I first saw it)”
@@iamjayrts25 let me tell you this thing called parallel universes
Totally agree on the Edge Of Tomorrow part. I thought exactly the same when I watched it.
Gotta love that movie.
I watched like 3 times to finally understand the movie
Still it was good
It was was more or less a darker verison Ground Hog Day.
I suggest All You Need is Kill, EOT is an American adaptation of it
I come from the day that the Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer dropped. It looks.....
Bad
It looked terrifying
Bad!? Try terrifying! NIGHTMARE FUEL!!!!!!!!
They are fixing it
@@RealRoboKnight they CAN'T fix it. You can't fix a nightmare like that.
It looks good now it was resigned dumbass
Then:all video game movies are bad!
Sonic the hedgehog:am I a joke to you?
Yes
How about the other video game movies coming out
Mortal kombat was pretty good
@@sgtroach1510 NOO
Me: no your not… your. 2017 forces game already took that title meanwhile you are perfection
To add to the "this one wasn't that bad" comments; The first 'Tomb Raider' wasn't some filmmaking masterpiece, but it was a good adaptation of the source material. Complete with the puzzles and action of the games, even the story.
To add to the "this is also a good example of video game elements in non-adaptations" comments; 'Dredd' is built with literal levels the hero needs to overcome, with mini-bosses on the way, and the big boss at the end. 'Snowpiercer' has a slimier structure, but also explores it's world like a videogame where every new level expands our understanding of this world in a bioshock-y way
Yosi Berman the final boss thing doesn’t work for a movie. That was stupid.
I think RDR2 would make a good movie but the voice actors of the characters should play the characters in the movie
Sadly Hollywood hates voice actors.
Cutscenes of video games are basicly like the movies them selfs right so why don't studios just follow them has blueprint to Create there movies
Because some, perhaps even most, directors are so pretentious. They direct and/or write video game movies, yet act as though the source material is beneath them. Same goes for comic book movies. Like Nolan pretending he had never read a comic book in his life even though his trilogy is lousy with plot elements, obscure characters, events, and even some lines/dialogue from the comics. But then again, who cares if he's a liar. He makes good movies. Edgar Wright is a very capable writer/director who doesn't take himself too seriously. He's very creative as well. I think he (or someone like him) can make a decent video game movie.
Well one...the directors need to play the game. And like the video said its going to take hours.
And second....why would you make a movie based on something you already played. No one will get to see something you already know whats going to happen
@@willordordona5429 well they did it with ratchet and clank the film......and people gave fairly average reviews.....video game movies are almost impossible to make good sadly
and we FINALLY did it! we have an actually GOOD video game movie!!!
One of the LEGO super heroes movie did that and it was just the cutscenes of a lego batman game
Let's be honest, the bargaining scene in Doctor Strange is every gaming experience.
Because the studios don't listen to fans, Straight Up! 🤘
Me:Mortal Kombat Legacy Scorpions Revenge?
Warp zone:That’s pretty a good Mortal kombat film.
2:33 "What an incredibly bold and ignorant statement."
Agreed. What he said aged like poor milk later down the line.
Same goes to Hollywood anime live action adaptations.
You speak the horror world
Alita battle Angel is pretty good
Rip dbz
Please. Stop. Don't remind me of that horrible hell

Wreck it ralph is a good video game movie
Yes, but does it really count though?
No it's just a movie with video game characters as part of the main cast
smokeyspade9 err. Wreck it Ralph is NOT a video game, it's some Disney-made BS
The movie wasn't based on a lot of real games. The main story revolved around video game parodies.
True dat
I thought the first Angelina Jolie tomb raider was alright. Also, I liked the doom movie, and the first person sequence in it is still one of my favorite movie moments.
Sonic: Allow me to introduce myself
Does Tron count? It was great.
Aidan Yelsma it wasn't based off of a game.
Caleb Brazeau, yes it was
The original Tron, Tron Evolution, or are we including Uprising?
not a real videogame, the game tron was designed soley for the movie. there was no real videogame that it was based on.
Beggar Beggar, good point
I love how he didnt answer how he got those clips on the TV.
The funny thing is Detective Pikachu was actually a good movie
Detective Pikachu started it. Sonic continued it. I have high hopes for the future.
Mortal kombat is gonna be good
Nah 2018 Tomb Raider started it
@@Sharpoodle no super mario bros started it
@@thetoomson lmao don’t tell me you genuinely enjoyed that movie
@@Sharpoodle no i didnt i hated that movie but it started the video game movie adaptations
Mortal Kombat is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it's bad but I still enjoy it.
It's not that bad. It's more dated. It was good by 90s standards. Part 2 is a whole different story.
It's good
It's a year in the future and the new mortal kombat movie looks to be what was talked about in this video
Me too I actually like the original resident evil movie
Mortal Kombat was great but in its own way. It was such a controversial game it would of had to of been a cinematic masterpiece to of made a dent in movie purist opinions.
Uh, did you guys forget silent hill. While not perfect, that movie did a really good job of enveloping the atmosphere of the videogames while telling a compelling B story
guyver 5er First one was cool, second one fucked everything up plot wise
IronSpiderman2099 are we talking games or movies? because isnt that basically what the games did too? Fuck everything up? Still, yeah I think something happened to the director. It still wasnt as bad as anything Uwe Boll has done.
Tydeus I was talking about the movies, I only played one silent hill game don't know what the game story is
guyver 5er silent hill was a book
I AM Uhh THE GENUIS no it was a game first, the original silent hill was a game made in 1999, the first novel was made in 2006
1:34 spidermab far from homeystero
“Name one good video game movie.”
Sonic the Hedgehog.
Mortal kombat
Just realised after watching this so many times that all the miss fires are all the DCEU films proof the MCU is better
That's like comparing coke and pepsi
@@NotDuncan DCAU>DCEU
Sonic The hedgehog movie was Badass and let's hope the new Mortal Kombat movie is going to be Badass too!
Bro it was barely even Sonic. Name 10 things that were how they are in the source material
Here is what I have learnt while playing No Man’s Sky and listening to this; with the right writer and the game devs and not produced by a major company, they could make No Mans Sky into an amazing movie with all the lore and characters. (this is just my lesser opinion though, so don’t take my word for it)
Edit: I capitalized No Man’s Sky and I would like to add that it will take place across multiple movies if they want it to make the story and characters better
Maybe instead of a series of movies, maybe a T.V show
HOLY HELL HOLY HELL RAMPAGE WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD!!!' I mean sure it ignored the story form the original game and did its own thing but there wasn't much of a story there in the first place, it I'd made sure to have fun with its premise with its amazing monsters and action scenes though! Non high art but as a monster fan I enjoyed it
It was as generic as an action movie could get, terrible villains, retarded military...
Arohk I agree the villains were completely pointless
IT WAS TRASH
To everyone who's all like: "IT WAS TRASH! POINTLESS VILLANS!" I say that this was just his opinion, and you should all respect that!
Wait...... Rampage was a game?!
2:21 get this son of a bitch a copy of last of us and we’ll see about not having emotion and drama in video games
Detective Pikachu and Sonic the hedgehog
Tomb raider doesn’t even have dinosaurs like the classic video games !
0/10
Wasnt it just in the first game?
Does everyone forget Hitman that was a great movie (I'm talking about the first one)
theres a hitman movie?!
lol
Love that first one the Timothy Olyphant one
Wait that's a thing
When people are only talking about Detective Pikachu
Ash Ketchum: Am i a joke to you?
Pikachu: **Surprised Pikachu face**
Ah yes but that was a tv show not a movie where it is alot easier to get it right
*cuts to pikachu eating ketchup*
Ash ketchup
5:52 The Sonic Movie
Next thing we know:
*Fortnite: The Movie*
Get that horrid sight outta here.
No god please no! No! No! NOOOOOO!
id say let ryan higa direct it, thats as good as a fortnite movie could possibly get story wise
PetrifiedScrub that’s be the end of everything
Call of Duty NO, HALO would probably be a better movie then FORTNITE! but *I think* call of duty Modern Warfare would be a GREAT MOVIE.
Detective pikachu makes this video dated
J Dot and sonic
@@kevthacube7325 both video game movies are successful, hopefully more will follow in their footsteps
4:19 That legit sounds like the Dark Souls of movies.
Or the Online RPG raid experience of movies, either one works.
While watching this I got an ad for a video game movie
Sonic detective Pikachu were good
I liked mortal kombat and tomb raidet
2:07 *Both Red Dead Redemption games beg to differ*
"I come extremely prepared for my arguments" lol
Lmao after hearing Kevin Hart being cast as Roland in the new Borderlands movie, I have no faith in the movie lol
Say psych right fucking now goddammit
A borderlands movie I got a bad feeling about this
I really wish one day I get to make a live action Assassin's Creed film. I have the ideas, the characters are my emotions, and I'm good at visual design.
Sounds cool. If you need help look me up. I'll gladly help.

You forgot Assassin's Creed
we don't talk about the assassins creed movie
That was actually a decent movie. Just tooo short
Too atrocious to speak of!
Trash
I only watch Assassin's creed because of the parkour and the fighting
Now we have detective pikachu and the sonic movie
0:48 That pens actually really good from an ironic stand point in my opinion
Assassin's Creed movie was not bad. Though the story was different, they captured the elements of the games. A second part is in the works, hope it will better
Odom and Davis debating on the couch...classic
Remember: Even Mortal Kombat (1995) was a massive cultural success until ten years later when we looked back and said "Holy shit, that was actually awful".
The Mortal Kombat movie was a great success but I don't know why everyone hates it except annihilation and the 2021 remake they were bad
"How did you get these clips on my tv?" probably my favourite quote ever
Why don't people remember *Scott Pilgrim vs the World*
Six months late but don't care. Scott Pilgrim vs The World is base on a comic book series. Not a video game.
Remember sonic?
Yeah he's coming back with a better design I hope.
Video may be outdated but Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog are the first successful video game movies
I respectfully disagree
@@gary1471 how so?
I don’t know I just never like Pokémon or sonic it doesn’t fit me I like doom and shit yknow?
@@gary1471 hey man, you have your opinions, and you have mine

I agree with everything said, I just think doing it as a skit was cringy and distracting.
Damn... that Metal Gear Solid movie quote didn't age well 😆
One game that would make such an amazing movie would be Xenoblade!
Gavin Li If they did it would be cool to cast Tom Holland as either Shulk or Rex depending which game they do.
“ video game movies are so bad “ Sonic: are u sure about that?
Too bad the movie sucked
@Movie Sonicif a movie makes a lot of money that doesn't make the movie good
@Movie Sonic Your Point Being?
@Movie Sonic Sonic is not a movie franchise they only made 1 movie
@Movie Sonic but did they make a squeal? no so now sonic is not a movie franchise so i will not respect the sonic movie it is a trash film in my opinion you don't have to take that personally
It's actually my birthday.... can I have tickets to the Tomb Raider movie? :D

I am sure that one of your whiteknighting friendzone frixed it up for you, movie was not that good tho. Also there was a whiteknight in TR movie.
Detective Pikachu: *slams beer* Hold up, wait a minute!
Sonic 1 and 2: *gently puts the beer down* Who do you think you’re talking to here?
The (eventual) Mario movie: *to Sonic and Pikachu* Hold my beer, will ya? Now, let me introduce myself
The Angry Birds Movies (mostly movie 1 tho): *chucks beer* Are you *ASKING* to get pecked to death?
The Last of Us:
So, you have chosen death
This was made in 2018, more like Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva, Pokemon 3 and Animal Crossing: The Movie (which was mid but it's Animal Crossing, I don't think you can make a legitmately good Animal Crossing movie that's properly faithful to the source material)
I think they're talking about live action movies
Silent hill was good
Metalshroomy nope
The effects were and the easter eggs were awesome (the director was a fan and it shows), but the story was handled really poorly with some very pointless changes (mostly the cult being witch burners, I really want to know why they did that).
Three years later Free Guy (loosely based on a possible blend of Grand Theft Auto & Pay Day). You get the in game experiences and there's a story as a bonus!
I think if Hollywood wants to make an effective video game movie they must choose a property that's not convoluted with plot elements. Video games such as Punch Out and Rampage could work for they have little story beyond what's presented, allowing directors to expand as they see fit.
you heard of the synopsis on the monster hunter movie?
But, the first tomb raider movie was great.
The reason the Sonic movie worked so well was because beside the characters of Sonic and Robotnik (and Tails in that one post-credits scene), it doesn't have anything to do with any of the Sonic video games. It was its own story that you didn't have to know anything about the video games to enjoy, instead of a reproduction of a story from one or more of the games. Also, the dude who voiced Sonic in that film does a much better voice than Roger Craig Smith.
"Ace Attorney?"
"Yeah, that one is not bad."
"no respect for the source material" is exactly what I was going to say. they always want to adapt it as loosely as possible and put their own spin off it. despite the entire reason of basing a moving off an existing franchise being to attract the people who are already familiar with the brand. it just makes no sense.
You’re forgetting Jumanji 2
Board game not VIDEO game
@@blairespridgen98 Have you seen the late 2017 Jumanji movie? It's actually *VIDEO GAME*
@@markjesusberg8519 Yes but uts not a real VIDEO GAME its based off a BOARD GAME
How about the Halo 4 movie Forward Unto Dawn
I agree but people don't want to count it because it was episodic. Even though the footage amounts to a movie. A shame man it was dope.
That was good.
it turned out well cause it was animated, the issue is that people in hollywood wanted to make it live action(the movies mentioned) to appeal to the audience of who tf knows
Assassin's Creed is the best Video game film adaptation in my book ?!!
Not even close rachet and clank was
Professor Layton the Eternal Diva and Pokemon 3 say hi.
Detective Pikachu and Sonic are stepping stones. Next major one coming up: Mario.
Well i hope it will succeed. Not just because i want Mario to join Sonic and Pikachu in the realm of decent movies (not great but decent), but because i want the Illumination studios to finally slap all the critics' faces.
I like how he didn't even mention mortal kombat annihilation when he was listing ones he thought were good.
What did you do in breath of the wild?
Me: I crushed bokoblins with a friggin bookshelf!
It's June of 2019, and this video is still good, and still has a good moral, and will the upcoming Sonic movie they're right.
This really aged well, after this we got sonic, sonic 2, Mario and FNAF, and soon we will have Borderlands!
