i liked tomb raider the best.
I really liked Mortal Kombat it was pretty faitful story to the games and it was really well made.
Mortal Kombat was truest to the orginal storylines. MK: Anniliation seemed too rushed, Resident Evil used the ideas from the games and went their own way with them. Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter's master tapes should be burned never to be seen again (Since when is Street Fighter a war movie?!). Tomb Raider was ok though.

On that list, I think that RE was the only film that wasn't loaded with suck.
And my position on VG movies is "true to the plot" be damned. I mean, Jebus, who writes VG plots anyway? Did you really want a Mario movie where he jumps over turtles and knocks mushrooms out of blocks? Oh wait--of course--he has to rescue the princess!
Disclaimer: I never watched the Mario Bros. movie, as I had already had my USDA RDA of suck that week.

I'd say that it had more problems than that. Christopher Lambert (IMO) was a MUCH better Raiden than the turkey they got in Annihilation. Jonny Cage dies right at the beginning? etc..MK: Anniliation seemed too rushed,
That was the best part! The guy who played Raiden after he "transformed" looked like Guile actually...Originally Posted by ventrra

I didn't mind the new guy, actually I wouldnt have even cared if he was in both movies. The only thing that bugs me is when they have two actors play the same character.Christopher Lambert (IMO) was a MUCH better Raiden than the turkey they got in Annihilation
Right on! I feel the same way. For example, I'd really enjoy watching a JRR Tolkien based movie that wasn't about the LOTR or Hobbit Series... just a move that contained the entire theme but took it a totally new direction.And my position on VG movies is "true to the plot" be damned. I mean, Jebus, who writes VG plots anyway? Did you really want a Mario movie where he jumps over turtles and knocks mushrooms out of blocks? Oh wait--of course--he has to rescue the princess!
I enjoyed Resident Evil. I think I enjoyed it because I was 100% ready for it to completly suck (I actually rented it thinking man is this movie going to suck), but I was suprised to find out that it was actually decent.
You forgot to add a few movies:
Double Dragon
Wing Commander
Final Fantasy
Wing Commander really pissed me off i mean - oh what the hell is this
From a website:
For your pleasure (Screenshots of the last quote):Well, right near the end, private detective City Hunter (Jackie Chan) gets knocked into a Street Fighter II machine during a fight. His opponent in the scene is transformed into Ken Masters, and Jackie alternates between being E. Honda and Chun Li. Two game-playing passersby are transformed into Guile and Dhalsim, and the three team up to defeat the "evil" Ken.

Double Dragon the movie should be burned. Did ya know Mark Hamill had a small part in Wing Commander?

I saw MK 2wice in the theaters and that is saying a lot for a video game movie. The boobs in Tomb Raider where better, but the action and the music in MK decided the vote for me.

GET OUT OF THE WALLS CHEATER!!!
I say Tomb raider was the best out all. Who ever thinks Mortal Kombat was true to the story must dont know anything about the game. They made the story passive so everyone can watch it(kids). All about the Hollywood BULLSHIT. Same goes for SF.Guile was never the main character in the sf world. Like I said, Hollywood messes up every game to movie story...HOLLYWOOD BULLSHIT
In case you're interested, they're currently working on a 2nd Tomb Raider movie. I'm waiting for Bubsy Bobcat: The Movie myself...
*Head Melts*
Note to Hollywood: Street Fighter is NOT a war movie!

Note to Kaine: You already said that in an earlier post.
Note to Self: You're wearing one blue sock and one black sock. That's not very cool.
Note to LeeFurie: I'll take Mortal Kombat just because it's the kind of movie that's always fun to go back to. I really ENJOYED Resident Evil, though. And IMO Milla Jovovich looked way hotter in RE than Angelina Jolie looked in Tomb Raider (which I thought was a boring movie).
I have no idea why, but I actually like the Super Mario Bros movie. I want a sequel dammit.
The first Mortal Kombat was pretty good as well.
*isn't wearing socks at the moment. :P

man, i must have seen MK about a million times.
Somebody once told me to get a life.
I told them I sold it for money to buy video games.
Mortal Kombat is the exact same movie as Enter the Dragon. Seriously.
Therefore, it's the best video game flick out there. Simple as dat.
Selling collection, Atari through XBox. Send a PM with whatever games you're looking for.
Mortal Kombat is the most kick'n Vid movie ever produced. Mario Bro's is so silly and fun i liked it to! so shoot me!
I want a Zelda Movie.. Please cast this girl in the main part

See ya Aug 2012. 'I swear I'M NOT DEAD! I'm feeling fine! I'M FEELING HAPPY!'
If you're bi-polar look into the new prescription drug Lamictal - It's changed my life (and I've spent 20 years looking for a cure.)
Hold up a moment! What did I miss? When did Lee Furie return to the board?!?
*waves greetings to Lee*
I'm not choosing from that list because it is missing a couple. Oh say, Final Fantasy for example.
Another day, another dollar... wake me when it's payday.
still playing games
Ah, I'm going to be faithful to Mortal Kombat here. I loved both it and Annihilation... my dad is actually friends with the raiden they used in Annihilation and on a side note, I directed Van Damm's Nephew in one of my short films that some of you saw... "The Loonies." That was a thrill for me actually... lol.
Would someone actually choose Final Fantasy as their favorite movie from this bunch? Man I SO wanted to like that movie. I even watched it twice thinking the second time I would "get it". A dismal effort, IMHO.
Funny you should say that DP - I just voted for it.
To be fair I haven't seen Resident Evil yet, but I doubt it'll get the nod anyway. For some reason, despite how much I hear about how it sucks, I love that movie. It's the only VG Based movie I own on DVD.
Time will be when the broadest river dries
And the great cities wane and last descend
Into the dust, for all things have an end
