the problem with franchise movies is people will never be happy with it. look at harry potter look at x men look at everything based on a book (which is most movies)...fanboys will always complain about storyline, what was put in or left out, bad transition issues 'when link gets hurt he shouldn't be able to shoot energy out of his sword, but in the movie, he CLEARLY got scratched by the cat and then used it later that day without having been healed! i want my ten bucks back!'

i understand that people hold these themes and characters near and dear to their hearts, but they have to remember that a film is realized by so many different people than the games/books/whatever are, and that means things will change.

in short, if it happens, it will fall somewhere between the first mortal kombat movie (in my opinion the best you can hope for) and D&D movie (not even a good movie if you know nothing about D&D, and gods help you if you do)
