Someone felt we were finally ready for sequel to one of the "greatest" videogame movies ever based on a fighting game. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117952892.html?categoryid=13&cs=1 There's also this cinematic masterpiece to look forward to as well. I think the last line in the article says it best. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117953129.html?categoryid=13&cs=1
Regarding the second movie, the same guy did the first Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil. For video game conversions, I didn't think that they were all that bad.
Finally, a Casltevania movie. Thank the mightly lord that dumbass Uwe Bowell is not doing it, and someone who actually makes halfway decent videogame movies is.
