My OPINIONS on why Call of Duty COULD make a decent movie.

My OPINIONS on why Call of Duty COULD make a decent movie.

Also I voice my opinions why Call of Duty is over rated.

Filed Under: Video Games



I'm gonna start this by saying I have no biased, hateful things towards Call of Duty. Yes I'm more into the fighting and action/adventure games but I like the story of Call of Duty but I don't like the gameplay itself. The game is too easily hacked and it's pretty pointless if you ask me, I know every game is repetitive in it's own way but still. Anyways I'm gonna list ways a Call of Duty could work or fail as a peice of film making.



1: This should be the most obvious choice of director. Seeing how he is so passionate about the military and get certain things to be real how the military would do it, why not have Michael Bay direct the film. I know a lot of you out there are haters because you don't like the Transformers films. But think about it and give me a better reason on why he shouldn't direct over why he should.

2: Film it as an actual film and not exactly how the games are, if you do it how the games are where you only see the hands and gun then it's gonna be bad and you will need shot for such stupidity.

3: Give it more drama and give the characters more personal issues then what the games give us. It makes the characters more interesting and for the love of god give us a damn backstory.



4: I feel it doesn't necessarily need to be R rated, it can honestly go either way. But that's just me.

5: The drama needs to be equal to the action. If not then it's either a drama-war film or just another mindless action film.

6: Base it off of the Modern Warefare sereis, 1: It's logical and 2: It's the better story of the Call of Duty franchise, though the franchise needs a reboot.

@Pux: Look the article was just for fun. In all honesty about the Call of Duty games, I completely agree.

@JokerFanHAhaHA: Michael Bay did not ruin Transformers, for the live action movie taking place on earth he made it more interesting, though revenge of the fallen wasn't good. A Nightmare on Elm Street is damn good it's better than the other Freddy movies but then again every horror movie is predictable and TMNT I could care less. He has a passion for the military and he is best fit for something as bad as COD

I'm not much of a COD fan but just let Stephen Spielberg make it... it should look more like Saving Private Ryan not the transformers... Actually make a Battlefield 3 movie instead.... I know it didn't have much of a story but neither did Saving Private Ryan and they almost look alike.

And just what does this have to do with comic movies at all,seriously we're discussing CoD now?

I'm not trying to be rude but can you please put more thought into your articles, it's as if you write one for every thought that pops into your head.

@Kalel219: Yes it's called comicbookmovie.com but they have a videogame section. I try to put more thought into my articles, I would post more reviews but not everyone has the money to go to the movies

@Yossarian I concur.
And, this is a CBM website not a video game chatroom please @ghostriderfan1 stop making articles. Now.

@GhostRiderfan1

You don't need to post reviews? I don't even know why you brought up the issue of money, are you some sort of charity?

Seriously, It's good you enjoy posting but maybe not do it as much as you. We don't need a new "MY Opinion + Heaps of pictures" article every day, nor do we need to be told your thoughts on a Ghost Rider film series...again

@Kalel219: I don't know why I brought it up and I apologize. I see where you are coming from, especially about the whole Ghost Rider thing again and once again. I'm really sorry.

@Pux: We were cool at the begining of the article because I was agreeing with you, but yea we're cool.

@Kalel219: I almost forgot and I mean this in the most respect possible but, there are always people posting about a Flash movie and what needs to happen and their posting scripts and what not. So why can't I do the same for Ghost Rider? In all honesty it just shows my love for the character.

Honestly man, I think its that you put little to no explanations in your articles. Elaborate a little more. Don't just put a bare bones reason in and then ask the readers why we WOULDN'T agree with your thought.

If you can logically defend your opinion then you'll a much easier time with people. Trust me. I've posted tons of articles over the years, I just don't have the time to anymore.

Anyway, an article should be much longer than 90% of the ones you post.

But you do keep trying, so if you're going to keep trying to get it right, take some advice from some veterans, okay?

Not trying to talk down to you or anything, just trying to give some pointers so you don't get trashed every time you write an article.

Call of Duty is just a glorified advertisement for people to join the military. It's actually quite brilliant from that stand point. From a gaming standpoint, I stopped after Call of Duty the first modern warfare. Once you played one of those, you played them ll.

Yeah, of course its not a video game sight, but Arkham City everywhere is fine...

The creators of the site have stated, the video game section is for ANY video games.

[frick]... no.

CoD is by far the most overrated game franchise of all time. The only people that play it are casual gamers, kids, and modders. No self respecting gamer would have these games in their collection since the first MW.

@EsseXFactor: I know and I agree. Personally my favorite videogame and videogame franchise is Mortal Kombat. A game that requires at least some skill. But I thought it would be cool to have a Call of Duty movie with it being done like a normal war-drama film. But that's just me.

@Ghostriderfan1, so long as we're one the same page we can talk ;) I'm just really passionate about video gaming and CoD is a sore spot as such. I can agree that it COULD make a good flic, after all, it's the Multiplayer that makes the game so fail, not the storied campaigns. Matter of fact, the campaigns are really good, though I've not played MW3. last CoD I played was MW2, I bought it because I really did like MW1 in it's entirety and played it a lot. MW2 is where it all went down hill. I owned it for less than 2 weeks, I'd gotten all 1000gamerscore in the first 4 days and reached lvl 20 in multiplayer when the Javeline Martyrdom glitch started. MW1 had already started pissin me off in the end of its days for the sheer amount of modding going on and I just lost all patience for it. To top it off that was about the time when the USB update dropped which to me was a way for Microsoft to say, "[frick] it, we don't care if people mod/hack/cheat." I'm rambling though. Point is, the campaigns are fun for MW1-2, I've not tried 3, and they'd make decent action flics.

@EsseXFactor: I am definately not as big of a gamer as you though I'm close to 1000 in a couple games. I have not had the ability to beat MW yet because I don't own it, MW2 I gave it to gamestop because I just don't play a game I'm no good at but MW3 is the first campaign I beat and it's pretty damn good. I just feel as long as it has good writers and Micahel Bay is the director, It would be epic. Though the Neveldine/Taylor would make it a cool movie. If you got Xboxlive, friend me.
