Most of them are pretty bad. Actually all them are bad just some are less terrible but I actually like a few of them. Regardless of how related to the source material they actually are. I'm going list my 3 favourites from top being my most liked one to the last one I thought was tolerable.

So first up is the Silent Hill Movie. To be honest though I probably only like this Movie because I haven't actually played a Silent Hill game before so It's not exactly trouncing on a beloved franchise of mine. In fact this was sort of my introduction to the series as back in 2006 I wasn't very knowledgeable about third parties let alone games that came out on the PS2 or Xbox. Actually was the Xbox360 out by then? bah I'm to lazy to look it up right now, anyway; after watching it I searched up more about the games years later and although I won't play them. (I have a thing about scary games... I just can't play the darned things.) I really enjoy the music of the series.

Number two is the Resident Evil Movie series. I've played a lot of Resident Evil Zero before I ever heard about the first Movie and since the game terrified me. (Seriously, scary games and me just don't mix.) I watched it with an old friend of mine and enjoyed the films quite a bit, they're not the greatest Zombie flicks but I've seen far... far worse. I'm really looking forward to the next one because I hear Leon will be making a cameo. I'm still stuck in the farm area of RE4 so he's the most Recognizable character I'll come across in the Movie Series. (Stuck because I fear what's ahead... Watched my friend play during the later levels and knew I wasn't going to make it that far...)

Number three; The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it's hilarious... I saw it on the Disney channel once when I was younger and I just couldn't believe how badly they messed it up. I remember making fun of the Goomba costumes with my little brother and sister and just face palming whenever they said something stupid, which was most of the time.

So post your most liked/tolerated Movie adaptations of Video games and Why you like/tolerate them.

I tolerate nothing even though it goes against my ways. All those game movies have no reason or right to exist in the form they do. Mario bros is a guilty pleasure though lol.

Actually, I thought the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie was pretty dang awesome.

...and truth be told, that's the only video game movie I've ever watched...although the Tomb Raider movies looked decent at least. xP

A Zelda movie, if done right, it would be really good.

Professor layton movies are really good, so I tolerate that.

    zelda mainly, most nintendo stuff too

Posted 19 January 2012 - 10:03 AM

pokemon movies!! the old ones at least, havent seen the newer ones, but the old ones were good :)

everytime i play zelda i want a zelda movie badly, but i dont trust anyone at all to make it right, and i refuse for it to be done wrong. so in effect i would hate a zelda movie, just because im 99% sure they would mess it up. (and it would have to be fully 3D animated, not live action).

Oh yeah, the old Pokemon movies aren't so bad. I actually enjoyed some of them! I even saw the first Pokemon movie in theater. :3 The last couple of episodes of Kirby Right Back At Ya were also combined and made into a movie special. (In Japan, they just showed the separate episodes until the end.) I really enjoyed the Kirby "movie." xD

I heard Tomb Raider movies were pretty good. I remember seeing one of those movies and it wasn't so bad! They're not one of the best all-time films, but at least they didn't messed up. :P

I enjoyed the video game adaption of the Super Mario Movie. The movie itself is nightmare worthy.

My favorite is the Tekken movie, the costume designs stay (mostly) true to the game and the story is more or less the same.

I liked the Prince of Persia, but it had a few "off" parts to it.

Movies made from games sometimes suck and sometimes they don't.
I have been only been satisfied with the Resident Evil movies and Pokemon movies, also the Super Mario Anime movie was good too. (with translation obviously)

Resident evil: I like them. Ofcourse they are not masterpieces, but I don't mind watching them.

Prince of Persia: It wasn't bad at all. Again, not a masterpiece but it never tried to be.

I wouldn't mind an Assassin's Creed movie, Ubisoft even has this idea. However, Ubisoft want to control about the whole process and the big moviestudios aren't up to it. Guess this movie will have to wait a while, if it's going to happen.

I've never liked a video game based movie, but I think that this looks pretty frig'n awesome.

It's always better if you haven't played the game, but then it might just seem strange.
