Now everyone knows Hollywood has ran out of ideas years ago
and are now just rehashing ideas from other medium. TV series (Mission Impossible),
cartoons (Ninja Turtles), comics (you name it), books (ditto); all have adaptations
to the silver screen. Now you can add one more to that list; Board games!
Yes, you read that right. Hasbro has announced that they
will create a movie based on Monopoly, the classic board game. Created over
than a century, I think it’s fair to say everyone has either played or heard of
Monopoly before, but a movie based on the game? It sounds stupid.
Now I won’t say it’s impossible to do it, or even that it
won’t be good (I'm thinking Wall Street with cash thrown around and Jail time for the characters), but there’s just something wrong with the idea of making a movie
based on the board game. It just sounds wrong to me.
