I think for me the issue with the Uncharted movie isn't how much they adapt it in terms of specific character traits (such as the parted hair) so much as it is that the movie is being described as something wholely unrelateable to the series. Despite the issues with the Resident Evil films, at least the first film was something different from the games in terms of characters but is at least something that one can imagine happening in the Resident Evil universe, because the aspects of Resident Evil that make it Resident Evil are still there. Uncharted on contrast appears to have a story that one can't imagine ever happening in the Unchared universe, because the aspects of Uncharted that make it Uncharted are not present in the film. I've played the games myself, and I enjoy them, but I agree that while the story is certainly better than most games today, it's not the most terrific of stories, but at least there is something about the stries to identify it as an Uncharted story, mainly the idea of an outlaw treasure hunter who despite being a douche at least tries to have fun with the experience. The movie sounds like the opposite of that, especially when they hire Mark Wahlberg for the role. While no disrespect for the guy, in fact I think he is a pretty decent actor, he's not the type of actor someone usually hires to play a douche who has fun in what others would call a terrifying or stressful situation. I think what this comes down to is that this movie is going to have a hard time pleasing anyone, since even if the quality of the film ends up being good, the fans of Uncharted won't be getting a good Uncharted film, just a film with the title Uncharted, while regular film critics won't like it because it appears to be trying to hard to be like National Treasure meets Indianna Jones meets Dan Brown stories.
