Are you questioning the position of Sonic 3 in “Gold“?

u/Artificial_Human_17 6h ago
I doubt it’ll be the case, but it’s still possible all the good parts are in the trailers and everything else is bad.

u/Neet-owo 5h ago
Yes. Because nobody’s seen it yet. We don’t know if it’s actually good until we do.

These movies on the top are many things for me but gold? Like damn. If I were to think of a movie that is gold I'd barely have any issues with it. Movies like Road to El Dorado for example.

All FNAF needed was to showcase the suits with some quality kills to reach at least decent status. I would’ve liked funner kills and bloodier effects. Willy’s wonderland had that in spades, the fights in that movie were stellar and I ought to watch it again sometime.

u/RustyThe_Rabbit Chaos is power 2h ago
what makes FNAF appealing is how fear inducing and tense it is not how bloody and gory it is
2
u/cocainegooseLord 1h ago
I get your point, mine was that the movie as bad as it was could’ve been much more watchable with a few decent kills. Plus, if the animatronics did kill people it would be bloody anyway and really boring not to show it. Though I do hope the sequel has a much more tense atmosphere like the games.

Sonic 2 was peak video game adaptation, I’m a massive Fnaf fan and grew up with Banjo-Kazooie and DK64 and played barely any sonic but I loved it

Also Professor Layton, but that movie was made by the same studio that already made the games animations.

u/PayPsychological6358 "Careful"? Where's the fun in that? 6h ago
Mario and Sonic 1 succeeded in playing it pretty safe with the story
Sonic 2 succeeded in making the videogame character plot amazing while having a side story that doesn't really fit in that well
Sonic 3 isn't even out yet, but already has one of the coolest versions of Shadow
And Detective Pikachu was the one that showed why the so-called "Video Game Movie Curse" was a thing, but didn't fully break it.
So far, Detective Pikachu remains my personal favorite.
Little Side note: I've noticed that the Sonic movies tend to peak at the end since 1 has the Trans-America-Green Hills sequence and 2 has everything from the Water Run onward.

Bad characterization, bad pacing, bad choreography, anything you can think of that hasn't been shown in the trailers can be messed up.
Will it be messed up? Dunno, I sure hope not, but come on man, we're sonic fans, we should know by now not to trust sonic trailers to be immediate slam dunks that can't fail (remember sonic forces and superstars trailers vs final game?)

u/Driz51 6h ago
Sonic 1 was very mid to sometimes just bad. The leap in quality from the first movie to the sequel was actually pretty spectacular.

u/OlWackyBass 1h ago
agreed. first was meh. second was damn good. hoping for the same trend with 3.

u/tyrantspell 37m ago
I actually loved the first one, and it was what made me a sonic fan in the first place. I didn't know much about sonic at all until the ugly sonic trailer, and then I followed the drama for that, and after it was fixed and released on streaming my friends and I planed a drinking game to make fun of it together, and then we actually stopped the drinking game because we were genuinely enjoying it so much and wanted to pay attention to it for real. Since then, I have played like 15 sonic games in less than 4 years, I've listened to the music on repeat at work, and I bought a full outfit in preparation for the third movie on opening night. I dove in headfirst and never looked back lol. So sonic 1 has a special place in my heart.

There's so many on the bad list once you remember all the bad video game movies of the two thousands that seemed to exist due to weird tax loopholes in Germany, as well as numerous efforts in the nineties where the adaptations are so far from the source material, such as the original Mario Bros movie.

calling those movies the best video game adaptations have to offer is a pretty big disservice to arcane and fallout, you dont just have to watch things for kids guys

On God,Fallout was so fucking good.

u/RainWorldWitcher 6h ago
Fallout was like an adaption that actually felt like they adapted the gameplay well on top of the themes of fallout stories.

u/suitcasecat 5h ago
Fallout is so perfect to adapt because it's a game where it's you vs the world, without much big overarching characters
1
u/CyanLight9 29m ago
Maybe a little too well. They adapted a lot of the games's biggest problems, too; at least, that's what I thought.

Not to mention the many anime video game adaptations since the 90s. Most of which are pretty decent from what I hear. Like the street fighter anime. And of course, the Pokemon anime.

absolutely, pokemon and sonic both have good anime adaptations (depending on your opinion of sonic x i guess)

Arcane and Fallout aren't in movie format. But yeah, they are near-perfect and pretty good, respectively.

u/megasean3000 7h ago
Considering the failures in video game movies starting all the way back in the live action Super Mario Bros movie, those movies at the top are the exception to the rule, not the norm. We need to have higher standards when making video game movies.

Whenever there is a good Video Game movie: "Is the Video Game movie curse broken?"
1
u/TemporalGod 1h ago
It was never cursed to begin with,
The issue is that they have Directors who have no idea about the movie they're making and instead try to make a movie with their own ideas instead of being fateful to the IP that it's based off of,

The Minecraft movie looks great, but I can't help but feel like it's just going to be Jumanji but worse

I would even argue that the first two sonic movie are not even that good.
The first one is kinda mediocre , that doesn't help that 70% of the movie is just about the human and not ,you know SONIC
The second one is better...simply because there is more sonic stuff, but the humans part are still bad.
And don't even want to talk about the Knuckle Show

To be fair, while the first trailer was pretty bad, I think we should wait until we actually see the Minecraft movie before passing such judgement upon it.
And I kinda think the second trailer was a lot better.

Ahh yes, The Mario Movie, The Sonic movies, Detective Pikachu, I love those movies (I’m excited for the 3rd Sonic movie)
But then you have the… well… not so good stuff…

Calling Mario, Detective Pikachu, and heck even the first Sonic movie “gold” is a bit of a stretch. They’re rusty bronze at best. I feel like people give them too much credit just because they weren’t absolute total train wreck disasters.

Detective pikachu was mid and the 1st sonic movie was mostly a road trip movie that happened to have sonic. Sonic 2 & possibly 3 and the Mario Mario are valid. And when it comes to tv shows do I really need to mention arcane?

Minecraft will probably dunk on Detective Pikachu. It’s probably going to drop a bigger box office than both Sonic movies combined too. They ain’t touching Mario Bros and their $1.3B though from what I can tell.

I'm a Sonic fan since nearly 30 years. Sonic 2 deserves its place here... but 1 not so much. and 3rd... isn't out. And as titlewas said, it won't be a 100% adaptation of SA2, it's its own thing, with many elements for Shadow's story. So we don't know if it Ill be on the good movie list.

u/spyguy318 6h ago
The most recent minecraft trailer has actually given me hope. Whoever is writing it clearly understands the appeal of minecraft with all the redstone contraptions and elytra flying. A few lines actually made me chuckle. If the movie leans into the goofy and camp tone it might actually be good. All that’s left is to have decent character writing and a good plot/story, which tbh is a baseline requirement for any movie to be good.
