    Default Best movie out there based on a video game.

    I suppose we all know that movies based on video games really aren't that good. Most of them suck, while others manage to be decent, and with movies based on games like Tekken, Metal Gear Solid and American McGee's Alice coming up, Hollywood seem to really, against all odds, have accepted video games as a way to tell a story (= make some money).

    But anyway, what's your favourite movie based on a video game? (Animated movies are not excluded)

    Are animated movies excluded? Because the Street Fighter 2 movie was quite entertaining.

    The Tekken Movie was decent. Haven't seen the street fighter Anime, but the Live action was decent as well.

    Resident evil is horrid.

    I'm going to go with "In the Name of the King" since it was Dungeon Seige and all.

    Indeed it is.


    As for good movies I rather enjoyed the Mario Brothers movie, and the sit-com TV show they made of it. Hit man was also a pretty decent movie which surprised me. FFVII: AC was good too.

    Beyond that and a few I can't remember their all rubbish though.

    MMM, Super Mario Bros.

    Forgot about that one.

    Though In the Name of the King is still better.

    The Live Action Street Fighter movie was decent, but mostly just due to M. Bison.

    Double Dragon or Street Fighter due to how absolutely unbearably terrible they are. They're hilarious.

    Anyway, Its hard to say a best out of a selection so crappy. But Ill go with the Doom movie as it wasnt completely horrible. Ill give a nod to the first Mortal Kombat movie too.

    Silent Hill was fan service at it's best, as long as I pretend the "Burn the witch!!" crap didn't happen.

    My vote also, though I'm not familiar enough to make a comparison to the games, it was a good movie on its own merit..not great, but good.

    Yeah, I'd have to agree. The Tekken cartoon was pretty crappy.

    Other than that I actually think the Tomb Raider movies are pretty decent. Much of that is largely because of Angelina Jolie, though.

    EDIT: and of course Advent Children.
