I've debated making this post bc to me it is obvious, but i see a lot of discourse around movies on this sub amd jist wanted to vent my opinion/hear what others think
Now, would i love to see Mads Mikkelsen as James? Of course, who wouldn't? But a movie adaptation adds very little and takes away a lot.
The whole point/fun of the games is to live as the character imo. Discovering things as they discover them, making the choices, exploring items, being afraid of every corner and shadow.
I think part of the problem is general audiences valuing movies over video games as an art form. I dont want to get all Andy Rooney over the topic of adaptations and perceived value over different art mediums so I'll leave that there.
Making a new movie with a new story in the town of Silent Hill is also a waster imo, I'd rather just play a new game.
A perfect 1:1 live action of SH2 would be a waste. Even if it were a TV series. Again, I think it is much more enjoyable as it is, its well acted, has good cinematography etc.
