Took their time. Not interested.
I'll keep an open mind, but I can't help thinking it'll be more Streetfighter than Iron Man...
Games never translate well to films. And I haven't found many films that translate to games either (Jedi Knight II was about the only SW games I've thought was exceptional).
Wing Commander was probably the best effort in moving a game to a film - and that was hardly a blockbuster.
Still, who wants to go watch a film where the surround sound is just going to be full of teenagers making comments about 'your mom'.
Where's that cow ..
.. ah here we go :

Lets hope Uwe Boll doesn't get his mitts on it....
...but clearly missed the thoroughly dull Assassin's Creed?Quote:

The CoD games have been flogging a dead horse for years - I don't buy them until they hit the bargain bins now, and I still can't summon the willpower to complete the campaigns (I don't care about MP). I seriously doubt I'd be willing to sit through a film based on them, but I don't think I'm in the demographic they're aiming for.
What's the bets we'll get "CoD : The TV Series" as the DLC
Not to mention the post-kill teabagging in the 3D version.Quote:

They were all terrible.
Call of Duty doesn't even come close to a story compelling enough to make the list of games that SHOULD translate.
I hope they bring Ben Affleck in so any hope of achieving glory stripped away from it as quickly as possible.
So a generic gung-ho soldiery flick, with a CoD badge on the cover, yes?
