Game based movies, in general, are horrible.

Now, the usual reason is the complete lack of plot - the movie is kind of cool for a little while because you know the characters involved, etc., but then you lose your interest.

Of course, the kinds of games normally made into movies are arcade games: street fighter, mortal kombat, etc.

Now, since CF (at least the fun part of CF) is based in roleplaying/story situations, perhaps this could be overcome.

I think the shock of having "looks" picked for all of the people we've been unintentionally imagining in our own heads all this time would be a big turn off though - every time I see a movie made from a book I'm always disappointed at least a few of the character choices.

Anyway, get Sean Connery to play in it and maybe it'll turn out alright anyway :)
