So what is there to say about the Five Nights At Freddy's official movie trailer? Well, I think it's cool to finally see another video game get an adaptation and by the looks of it, it is acknowledge by the original author (Scott Cathon) as he is one of the screen writer of the film; thus respecting the source material. If you have been on the Internet long enough, you probably have heard of the Friday Night's at Freddy's video game (and book) franchise... a series of first person puzzle horror video games wherein you navigate a certain location (may it be a house or an abandoned location) wherein the story unfolds involving possessed killer animatronics and the reason why they became so. Friday Night at Freddy's is popular among the theory crafting community as they piece together what avaialble information tucked away in each game that adds engagement and element of mystery to the gaming experience.

Speaking of theory crafting, there have been seventeen (17) titles under the Friday Nights at Freddy video game franchise. The franchise dates all the way back from 2014 and with each released, the community has made countless of theories as of the origin, lore, and the future of the series. This is where it gets interesting, how will the author interest long term fans while introducing the established horror video game to new audience or those unfamiliar with the video game series? From what we see on the trailer, it isn't directly connected to the games as it introduces a father and daughter and cop dynamics into the mix; or it could all still be connected and an expansion of the existing lore. I, personally, have missed the hype and wasn't able to play any of the Friday Nights at Freddy's video games as life got in the way. What I have consumed is the thoery crafting and lore video from Game Theory that discussed various theories and lore from the game. From being immerse with such YouTube content, I can say the FNAF 2023 live action video game movie is promising. Let's just home that it becomes a success so we can get more sequels for it.

POKÉMON Detective Pikachu 2019 Movie featuring the voice of Ryan Reynolds as the titular Detective Pikachu

So what is there to say about the POKÉMON: Detective Pikachu official movie trailer? Well, it looks great as most of us have in mind here. This is really the first time that we see a live action adaptation of Pokemon so there isn't nothing really to compare to. We have reach a point in movie history and reality that CGI seems to blend so well with reality and from what we saw from the first Detective Pikachu 2019 film trailer, I am impressed and I am someone who grew up playing the Pokemon series. I was started with Pokemon Yellow version for the original Nintendo Gameboy.

The official press release from the official movie trailer summarize what we saw in it. Shows a little highlights here and there but not enough to ruin the entire film. Given that this is a detective slash mystery film, they ought to keep those elements closely hidden and hopefully doesn't follow the Detective Pikachu Nintnedo 3DS storyline down to a tee. Well, I played (but haven't finished) Detective Pikachu for the 3DS but I can say that it deviated a bit given that the game's protagonist on the game was a young teen while on this one is someone on his later teen or early adulthood. How they also met is much different, so with that hopefully we can be assured that we won't be seeing a carbon copy of the game. Of course, let's address the elephant in the room... Detective Pikachu is adorable! And is voiced by none other than Deadpool slash Green Lantern (don't crucify me for the reference) himself, Ryan Reynolds. Did you know that there was once an an initial strong clamor to let Danny Devito voice Detective Pikachu in both the 3DS game of the same title and later in the movie, but what we get is something similarly cool. Deadpool as the voice of Pikachu. Plus all the CGI goodness and adventure galore, this is shaping up to be a good Hollywood adaptation of a source material originating from Japan which we haven't seen like forever.

Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Movie Trailer Impressions: The Live Action Film Adaptation of the Epic Tale of Kenshin Himura

Rurouni Kenshin is a 2012 live action movie adaptation of the popular manga and anime series "Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story" or simply "Rurouni Kenshin", or popularly known in the US as Samurai X. When I first heard that Warner Bros was behind the movie adaptation of the highly acclaimed samurai series, I was very dubious and skeptical about it at first. Luckily that impression was changed after watching the Rurouni Kenshin live-action movie's first teaser trailer.

Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Film Trailer Review

Japan is known as the home of manga and anime. The Rurouni Kenshin series is considered to be one of the best anime series that came from Japan, and has since been released worldwide as Samurai X. Making a live action film of something as nostalgic as the Rurouni Kenshin series is guaranteed to receive both positive and negative criticism.

Rurouni Kenshin holds a very high nostalgic value and is probably the main reason why fans of the anime or manga series might have mixed reactions over it. Basing from the feedback received by the first teaser trailer for the live action film, it is looking good for the Rurouni Kenshin Japanese film adaptation. Thank the samurai gods that it is made in Japan. Various U.S. entertainment companies had a bad habit and established an awful reputation of adapting various Japanese series and "Americanizing" them. Just look at what they did with poor pronunciation of names and lame voice acting after dubbing an anime series in question, and even completely bastardizing a franchise just like what they did with Dragonball Evolution. So I cannot be blamed when my expectations plummeted to hell when I heard that an American company like Warner Bros. is responsible for making a live-action movie adaptation for Rurouni Kenshin. Luckily, the Studio is only responsible for the distribution and funding of the film and it is all Japanese to put it to words. This doesn't mean that everyone will welcome a live-action film of the animated series or the comics they grew up with. But even so, this is one train that cannot be stopped. I for one am curious to how they will put to film the epic story and romance of Kenshi and Kaoru. I have followed the Kamen Rider Den-O tokusatsu series and I can say that Takeru Satoh is a nice pick to play as the reformed Hitokiri Battousai. I for one am excited to get my hands in this live action movie adaptation of Samurai X.
