The concept of making a movie out of a game....

I don't care if it is Boll or anyone else producing them, IMO it does not and can not work, period.

Games based on books or movies? Sure. But, it does not work in reverse.

The typical video game tends to be fairly thin on plot, and equally thin on personality development, the emphasis is almost entirely on action. It lacks the narrative structure required for a good movie, so what you end up with is many "fill in the blanks" between slaughtering-every-monster-in-sight scene.

The only game I can really think of that might have the potential to be turned into a decent movie is Planescape Torment, because it has an incredibly profound narrative. Beyond PS:T however, I just don't see it.
The reality is that any game (the above example excepted) is going to be garbage as a movie, it truly doesn't matter who is involved in its creation.

Umm... have to disagree with you. MOST games turns into bad movies, but there as some exceptions: Final Fantasy: Advent Children, Silent Hill, Mortal Kombat I and Resident Evil movies (those were very good actually, especially when compared to most zombie-horror movies) comes to my mind...
