cliffyb and wyckyg and martyb get called out

The fanboys are calling out GOW for what it is--a complete, epic lack of art and story.

Wyck Godfrey & Marty Bowen have rotten track record & gears of war has no story:

I'm curious how they are going to make a story from a game with a complete lack of anything that even looks like a plot, even out of the corner of your eye when you squinting."

"JPan
why do they make movies of games with inexistant story line and no character development? First Doom now Gears? Big exchangable space marines with the charisma of a door knob kill hellish creatures to save the world. Surprise.

How about a Half-Life movie. I think there would be potential. Or for all I care a Halo movie. Great soundtrack confirmed and I love to watch the trailers. An Uncharted movie would be fun. The game was almost a movie. Assassin's would be cool. But Gears..."

Let's be honest here:

Has there EVER been a good movie based on a videogame?

Super Mario Bros.
Mortal Kombat (both)
Street Fighter
Wing Commander
Double Dragon
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (and it's sequel!)
Final Fantasy (I really wanted to like this movie, but it sucked)
Anything by Uwe Boll
Doom
Dead or Alive
Hitman

I'm sure I could go on, but that would be like beating a dead 360 owner.

"Why!!!!!

Gears of War barely has a story it is a stupid, cliché ridden (but fun) action game. Sure action movies get made but you actually need something approaching a story for it to work, if it does get made it will be a stinker no doubt.
