[tfrank]

what is the best video game movie you saw? and what is the worst one you saw and why?

[niggasslamminwhitebitches]

They actually made a good video game movie?

[PURPLE DRANK]

i thought resident evil extinction was actually pretty decent

[dr. AMVs]

MORTAL KOMBAT ANNIHILATION WAS AWESOME

Or, is that just the fanboy in me talking?

Despite pandering to the lowest common denominator, the first Tomb Raider flick was decent fun.

in before Uwe Boll sucks post.

Best: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (is there any contest?)

Good: Mortal Kombat 1 & 2, Tomb Raider (yeah really, it wasn't bad), Pokemon The First Movie (the only one that wasn't retarded), Samurai Showdown (anime), Resident Evil, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (although it only has this title for marketing, it has nothing to do with Final Fantasy)

Bad: Super Mario Bros., Double Dragon, Tomb Raider 2

Worst: Wing Commander (I couldn't even get past 40 minutes of this shit)


Granted I haven't seen every movie ever made based on a video game, so I can't tell you exactly how bad Bloodrayne is.

I've seen a few good adaptations (Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and DOOM to a certain extent) and some bad ones.

I was actually thinking the other day about whether there would be a Metal Gear Solid movie. I would be all for the idea, however the game is pretty much a movie anyway. But if they did do it, the screenplay must be written by Hideo Kojima and/or David Hayter, and the soundtrack has to be from Harry Gregson-Williams, oherwise it will be crap.

Yeah, if you weren't going to see it because it was Resident Evil. The movie was terrible in all aspects.

I loved the Mortal Kombats.

I loved Double Dragon when I was younger.

Other than the Mortal Kombats, I can't think of anything else that wasn't utter failure.

YES, it was called Super Mario Bros. How else could you screw up such a simple story make it a post apocalyptic film with monkeys and TALL GOOMBAS

yes, just like with any other videogame comparison, FFVII is not the end-all definition of what is good and it pisses me off beyond belief when people orgasm constantly over this mostly mediocre game and it's storyline/characters

also while it wasn't a "good" movie i enjoyed super mario bros.

I never said the game was the end all ultimate game of all time and blah blah blah dongs I said the movie was badass. If the game were that damn good I'd never play anything else, but I haven't touched that game in like 8 years or so lol. As far as PS1 RPG's go, Wild Arms and Suikoden 2 were better.
