At the same time movies based on a recognized intellectual property tend to omit crucial pieces of character and world building, because come on, the audience is supposed to know that.
And this is how they often produce garbage that is impossible to understand if you are not in the know, and impossible to watch if you are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Close, but they genuinely think video games are a lesser medium than movies. So of course they don’t take this movie, or out standards seriously.

I think some game developers think like this too, that’s why they try to turn their games into movies, either directly or by making their games more “cinematic”.

In my opinion, not all cinematic games are trying to be movies, some do it right and preserve the essence of what game is, about others we probably not hear too much except for how bad they turn out to be

At least it’s not still just Uwe Boll making adaptations.
