That is percisely what I was thinking Havoc.
The reason video game movies sucked in the past was probabaly or most likely due to poor story development. Oddworld as we all know has something that the others don't, and that is a well put together story to go by. Without a good, well established story and idea the movie will easily fall apart. Super Mario Bros, Tomb Rader were all fun games but in a way I feel that when the production of the films were happening there was a lack of story which made the movie really shitty. Basically a story and idea is the heartbeat of a movie without it your dead in the water.
