Case in point....Congo...crap movie. Congo = great pinball and great pinball theme.
My take on Pirates....I personally like the movies, especially the first one. However, there was a certain amount of "campiness" to the pirates franchise. My limited exposure the JJP suggests they don't really do "campy" but rather a beyond in depth immersion into the theme. For something like the Hobbit it makes total sense. While at first glance JJPotc certainly looks cool and unique, I seriously hope theres a lot of the comedic aspect of Captain Jack in there. And rum...lots of rum....
Full disclosure, I watched about 5 minutes of the stream. Enough to see the shots and some basic features.
Quoted from Plungemaster:I want to ask some of the members who dont like this theme. Is it cause you dont like the movies? Cause i think great movies can be bad pinball themes, but bad movies can be fantastic pinball themes.
I am not a big fan of the potc movies. But i see a HUGE potential for a great and fun game. I think potc is a fantastic theme for pinball.
