I got inspired to write this topic from watching the Chun Li movie trailer. So far most movies based on video games bombed. Maybe video games are not meant to be made into movies. Who knows maybe in a distant future they will get it right. So let the discussion begin, what are your thoughts about video games made into movies?

They almost never follow the plot of the game and most of the characters either don't look like the game counterpart or act like it. Oh they always add new dumbass characters to the movie why I don't know.
True, I can't remember if there was a great movie but the first Mortal Kombat I remember was pretty decent.

I'm holding out hope that the Castlevania movie will be good.

They should make a Blaster Master movie.
Watching a tank blow up monsters for 90 mins? Not much of a plot there. Or watching some kid try and save his pet frog? It was a fun game but I don't see how they could make it into a movie.

They should make a Metal Gear Solid movie and let Hideo Kojima direct it.

That could have alot of potential if done right.
I can not stand the way they butchered the Resident Evil movies. Alice is such a generic character that its not even funny.
I hate how in the second film they end it will a street fight between Alice and the Nemesis. What the fuck? In the game he mutates into a giant monster and Jill is the one who defeats him. Then he becomes a good guy and saves Alice cause he's is that douche bag from the first movie.
The Nemesis is 7 ft of walking mutated terror who rapes your face with a T-Virus tentacle. Not some poor mutated soul looking for redemption.
I almost got kicked out of the theater when the "street fight" scene started cause I yelled out "You got to be fucking kidding me?"
RE: 3 was just absolutely stupid. An army of Alice's? Christ give me a break. How much did Milla have to fuck the director this time to make sure in the 4th film 90% of the cast is her?
Sorry, I could go on and on but I won't. I just had such high hopes for the RE films and was stoked when George Romero was going to direct it and then got shit canned cause Hollywood didn't like the idea of him making a good video game adaptation.
You can argue if Romeros script was good or not, thats fine. But it sure would of been a hell of a lot better then the shit we saw on screen.
I will let someone else complain about Super Mario Bros.
End rant.

I find the movie to be funny but I agree it was bullshit and the fight scenes was horrible especially anti-climatic fight with Bison and Guile. I mean for god's sakes Bison was getting the shit kick out of him and the part where he does his phyco crusher with those retarded light shoes, look more like he's trying to YULE!!!!! :evil:
Do even get me started on how bad Mario was.
Oh man Street Fighter. I remember the only time I ever saw a commercial for that movie was real late at night during American Gladiators. They just fuck up every character in that movie. I mean Zanghief is about 3 minutes away from being fully retarded. Ken and Ryu are dating or something I dont know.

Guile is suppose to be american and yet he has that anoying beliguim accent
Bison is suppose to be a fighting bad as even though he was weak as hell
Dee Jay was NEVER part of Bison's "team"
etc. etc. I could go on all day.
Ugh don't get me started on the special moves in the Street Fighter movie. The Hadoken was no fireball, the dragon punch he didn't even leave the ground and so on and so on.

The Street Fighter movie was actually pretty faithful.
Now the SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE -
Luigi looked way too young and dark.
For some reason they were saving Princess Daisy.
Koopa was a wierd ass human with a plan to turn everyone into...goomba dinosaurs? What is this Howard the Duck?
Toad had a HORRIBLE cameo.
Bowser for some reason ruled an underground city.
Goombas should've been called Koopas, bceause they looked more like Koopas and NOTHING like Goombas.
Bowser looked way too fucking wierd.
They didn't don the plumber suits until very late into the movie.
And I could go on and on and on.

True you have a point and the fact that mario was played by a british man and a luigi a latino was werid, not trying to be racist or anything. I rather watch Street Fighter than that mess.
I've heard people say that they absolutely hate Street Fighter, but find Super Mario Bros. "watchable." I think they're retarded.

Well Mario was a movie I grew up with but that doesn't mean it was good and the fact that no one but mario (bob hopkins) looked like their counterpart was a letdown.
I mean half the time when Hopkins talked with that brooklyn accent I couldn't stop thinking about him in Who framed Roger Rabbit.
