(Besides the obvious answer Uwe Boll.)
I was watching the Gears of War 3 trailer, and think what an amazing job they did. The music the art and the scenery, it all just seems so hopeless. Movies seldom IMO reach that level of emotion. Then take a look at the Halo Diorama commercial it was brilliant. When making a modern game into a movie Directors are handed an amazing story with great dialogue (some exceptions I know) and they manage to destroy it. Take the Doom movie, how do you screw that up so bad, then game set the best environment you could hope for and a great story. Why the hell they modified it to be some human genome project is beyond me.
