1/8

Of all the video games that have been turned into movies, only one of them has been somewhat good.

Mortal Kombat.

The movie that comes out tomorrow, Alone in the Dark, is yet another in the "Can't wait for Metroid" category.

God, I hope that John Woo doesn't fuck up metroid.

How bad is it?

As of midnight, Rotten Tomatoes has it at a freshness rating of 5%. And an average score of 1.5.

Owww...

Some selected quotes:

• "The three stars have seen better days, but I'd like to think they could still do something classier and more dignified than this. Like gay porn."
  -- Rob Vaux, FLIPSIDE MOVIE EMPORIUM


• "Alone in the Dark co-stars perpetual party-girl Tara Reid as an archeologist. That alone should give you some clue as to how bad this movie is."
  -- Bob Townsend, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION


• "This is jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, 'I-can't- believe-someone- made-this-crap' badness we're dealing with."
  -- Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM


• "If you took the 100 worst ideas ever conceived for a science-fiction film, rattled them around in a Lotto tumbler and spilled them out onto the screen at random, you could not produce a more asinine hodgepodge than Alone in the Dark."
  -- Colin Covert, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE


• "so far off the scale bad that the only possible reaction is to laugh at it -- and I do mean at it and not with it."
  -- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS

REALLY can't wait for Metroid...
