So Many Video Game based Movies in production!

Well ive been reading up on alot of upcoming or already released games lately and it seems that the Movie industry is going for another generation of video game based blockbusters. In my opinion its going to fail just like the last go around. Here's just a few that they decided to come up with that over all were terrible movies...

Doom

Bloodrayne 1 & 2

Resident Evil Trilogy

Max Payne

Tomb Raider Series

Now im not going to say you wont find a couple of these movies in my DVD collection, but over all they were pretty bad movies. Now on this go around this is the MULTIPLE! video games I have read up on that there could possibly be movies in production.

Gears of War
InFamous
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Prince of Persia
Halo (which is no longer in production, Peter Jackson dropped it)
DeadSpace
MassEffect (which I will say im excited about)
The Sims (?)
Dante's Inferno
Army of Two

and im sure there will be many more to come, now im pretty sure about half of these will be scrapped or fall through. Some of these might actually come out to be good movies, while others as we all know could come out to be horrid movies. But I just thought I would let everyone know about the new updates on Video Game based movie Genre's.

Please Comment, and give me your opinions!

the game-movie genre has been failing miserably in the past... but we can always hope for the best right? Say if Peter Jackson didn't drop Halo, I'm sure that would have ended up as a good movie. But until video game movies expand their budgets like superhero movies did to afford good actors and good directors, the genre will continue to fail.

I think a lot of studios probably don't want to invest more money simply because of the fact that all the previous video game movies sucked. If you make a high budget movie and it sucks you lose money. I think a lot of companies are afraid of that. Wikipedia has a list of video game based movies that are in production and those that have been dropped.
I honestly think that only the game companies should be allowed to make movies off their games like Square and Advent Children and Capcom and RE: Degeneration which are like the only two remotely good video game movies.
Gears may have a chance of success since Epic will be somehwhat involved. Mass Effect could be good as well. The others...I don't know...

well the animated Video Game movies are a different deal. Because you can use all the tricks and trades without it looking goofy and corny. So if maybe they animated some of these upcoming Video Game movies they could turn out good.

Pretty much all of those were less that good But PoP and Uncharted could break the mold, lets hope at least.
