movies/tv What game-based movies have you seen

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

what game-based films have you seen, i know some of them are poorly made or dont connect to the plot of the game. however some are really enjoyable.

the film I've seen are:

Tomb Raider

Postal

Far Cry

Hitman

Doom

 

what have you seen?

[Prof. Yana 16]

Let's see... I saw Far Cry, Postal (I actually liked it, since it wasn't supposed to be good,) I saw part of Tomb Raider once... Does Shenmue: The Movie count? It's literally just cutscenes and gameplay from the first game.

Hitman

Resident evil

 

I didn't like either, I think that they totally messed up agent 47's character in hitman and the plot was plain horrible.

[Lightning Bolt 65]

I'm not sure if it counts because it is based on the universe the game created, but I would have to say Halo Foward Unto Dawn which is really good even though you can watch it for free as it is a five part web series.

[Celestial Sloth 369]

I can hardly recall the Max Payne movie, which is probably a sign that it was bad.

Oh, and a Street Fighter one. Again, not memorable.

[AegisReflector 886]

Super Mario Bros., Resident Evil 1 - 3, Final Fantasy: Spirits Within, Final Fantasy: Advent Children, Tomb Raider 1-2.

 

The only good film out of the ones I listed was Advent Children simply because it stuck with the style of the game rather than totally revamping it with shitty acting and terrible plotlines.

[SrFrog 927]

All horrible movies, the only ones I could give a pass on would be Mortal Kombat & Silent Hill.

 

Postal

Tekken

Street Fighter

Double Dragon

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-li

The King of Fighters

Alone In The Dark

Resident Evil series

Resident Evil 1 which blew chunks

House of the Dead (The "of the Dead" movie by Uwe Boll) which blew chunks

Doom, blew chunks but not as bad as the other 2

Mortal Kombat, I forget which one and quite frankly that's a good thing.

 

I think that's about all of them. I don't think I'll be watching anymore videogame based movies as they tend to suck pretty bad. How resident evil was screwed up so bad I'll never figure out.

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,695]

Silent Hill: surprisingly good. Good special effects, great cast, and you could tell the people involved had actually played the games. Revelations looks horrible, though.

 

Alone In the Dark: so bad it transcended my capacity to hate it and just left me hopelessly numb.

 

Street Fighter: I liked it! Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. They messed up the plot and the characters, which is what pissed off the fans the most. But the director was going for 1/2 Street Fighter plus 1/2 cheesy 80's-style action flick and that's what we got. And Raul Julia was awesome.

[Arrow 236]

Yes, I've seen Postal as well. That's the only Uwe Boll movie that I've ever seen actually, but it wasn't that bad that everyone makes it out to be?

[Steamgamer27 170]

Max Payne and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

 

Honestly I was expecting really good things out of the latter. PoP was one of my favorite video-game franchises back then. Seeing what they did to it on the big screen tore me up. A good waste of money is all I can say about it. As for Max Payne, well,

 

[Roachling23 18]

Mortal Kombat: Based on the First game. Amazed at the Fireball Effect.

 

Double Dragon: Awesome Movie,

 

Resident Evil: I only saw the first one, but it is awesome.

 

Lara Croft Tomb raider:

 

Doom: Yes I play Doom, but I like Doom II(With Aeod WADs used)

I saw the super-mario bros. movie!

I actually liked it, it was good when i wasn't the gamer-nerd i am today.

So if you know nothing about gaming, watch it!

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

The Super Mario Brothers movie is the earliest one I can remember. Infamous as it is... well, I want to contrast its reputation with a quality that I remember fondly, but I can't say anything good about it. It's now endearing to me only because of it's age, harkening back to the third generation of home consoles, when I was a kid. Unfortunately that's all it has going for it. Nostalgic value for a time when gaming was still a bit of a niche, most gaming was done solo, and there was still some wonder in it because computing power of that magnitude at home was still novel and every conceivable plot device hadn't yet been done to death.

 

Mortal Kombat was pretty fun. Cheesy, but fun.

 

Can't comment on Silent Hill because I never played it. Yes, it's shocking, but I'm probably the only guy who didn't play Silent Hill back when it was in vogue and have never gotten around to it.

 

Doom was an atrocity. I think everybody knows that, even those who never played the game.

 

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within had nothing to do with any of the games, much like none of the games have anything to do with each other. For that, I'll say it was pretty fun and didn't have as much of a standard to follow as some people hold it to.

 

Advent Children was enjoyable, it just left me asking "why?" at the end. It brought no closure to anything and didn't open the door for anything new, despite being a bit of a sequel to Final Fantasy VII.

 

I've seen the first two Resident Evil movies. Based on what I saw in those and what I've heard about the others I'm content to stop there.

 

 

As far as I can remember those are all the movie games I've ever seen. I've missed a lot.

[Professor Hershel Layton 2]

I've seen some, but my memory only allows me to remember the Super Mario Bothers movie. It was very different from the games and did not make a whole lot of sense. Pretty soon I hope to see my own movie.
