I say... Starcraft. More action, plus potential for a three movie sequal thing, like Star Wars. Do it all in CG like FF: The Spirits Within, and it'll be awesome...

Metroid could be an awesome movie, like a zombie movie, almost. But far more intricate.

I can't see there being a three movie sequel system for Starcraft, but maybe making the same movie, just from three different perspectives (EG. same events happen, but different character standpoints) due to the three different races. You can do so much with the starcraft universe, I'm sure it'd be a popular movie even with non-SCers if Blizzard made it correctly.

Or better yet, it might do what LOTR did and get people more interested in Starcraft, so that Blizzard can make more SC games!

I rather want a C&C movie, based on the whole C&C series...

Eh, anyway. It would be intresting if they made Starcraft a 3D movie.

Have there been any great game based at all?

alone the history wich brought the events in Starcraft would be several movies (Yep, I read the manual, but never played that game).

So I think StarCraft would make a great movie.

Metroid on the other hand.. a movie based on the Manga?

Metroid if they do it right. It would most likely be about some random event where she got trapped on a planet lost all her equipment and now has to go kill 50 things for it all back, or they could make it like a war on some planet or something...

SSB the movie sucked and no one can say otherwise. What did they do to Yoshi.

I think there's greater potential for StarCraft here.

Metroid could potentially make a great sort of horror movie, given that the games have such a tense atmosphere about them (Super Metroid, in particular, is amazing in this regard). But as far as plot and everything else goes, StarCraft has the edge. I like the idea of the movie as viewed from the perspectives of each of the races.

I'm sort of biased, seeing as how I've only played starcraft, but even so.

It has everything a hit would have. Decent acting, plot that most can follow, CGI...now all you need is an african american character so that Will Smith can star in it and give it star power.

Or cast Brad Pitt as Jim Raynor.

Pfft, starcraft already has a movie, Starship troopers How many of you DIDN'T feel like playing starcraft after seeing that? HUH? HUH? Exactly, none, it's like a drug to lure you into starcraft and kill those pesky Zergs.
