best video game movies
 
what are best video game movie ever?

cqb101 11-22-2003 12:56 PM

None. Most videogame movies suck.

Stone Ill 11-22-2003 01:33 PM

I can think of a few..

Super Mario Bros.
Tomb Raider 1&2
Mortal Kombat 1&2
Street Fighter

That's about all I've seen.. and they all sucked. Well, MK1 was okay..

Raven 11-22-2003 01:37 PM

um I really cant think of any.

Reznorite420 11-22-2003 01:40 PM

The first remotely decent one I ever saw was Mortal Kombat. I think the only reason they decided to make a sequel of it was because the guys over at Williams probably thought, "Ooops! Paul Anderson didn't f**k it up enough! Let's give someone else the rights to do a sequel and do it RIGHT [or rather, wrong] this time!"

The reverse was true with the Tomb Raider movies; I thought the first one was pretty lame, too jumbled, and had terrible acting. At least Cradle of Life had a better script to it, though I can't help but wonder if the entire concept was ripped off from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Voltron 11-22-2003 03:48 PM

Mortal Kombat
Resident Evil

and if animated stuff counts
Sakura Wars

ZariusTwo 11-22-2003 05:47 PM

Pokemon 2000, really, it's the only good Pokemon movie, had a great plot, and we even finally got Misty acting pissed that Ash was'nt banging her

Taloniss 11-22-2003 05:52 PM

Good + Video Game Movie = Oxymoron.

impetus 11-22-2003 05:57 PM

I haven't seen all of these, but these're supposed to be the good ones:

Tomb Raider (crappy games but I liked the flick)
Tekken (anime)
Street Fighter (anime)
The Wizard! OK, it was cool in 1988.
Resident Evil

Bowser_Koopa 11-22-2003 06:10 PM

i forgot about street fighter 2! :o that movie was awesome!!!(not the live action one, this one was in 1994, at the end ryu and ken fight bison together, and ryu is the starring), but i didn't like that honda had well defined ab muscles on the top of his belly and floppy fat on the botton, thats impossible O.o

As Henry Kissinger once said, "Too bad 90% of politicians give the other 10% a bad reputation." The same can be said about video game movies and ones that haven't been made yet too.

Fugitoid Jones 11-22-2003 10:02 PM

Ok, I like Mortal Kombat 1 and even though it's not very good, Super Mario Bros. is enjoyable. However, everything else sucks my ass. Resident Evil, MK2, Street Fighter, Double Dragon, House of the Dead, Tomb Raider, and TR2. All bad.

wasn't Demonlition Man based on a video game?

That Matt Guy 11-22-2003 10:04 PM

I wish they would make a Pong movie.

Now that would be intense. Even better than the wacky world of Tetris.

Live action pac-man would own both of those.

ThirdMarioBro 11-22-2003 10:36 PM

Street Fighter II is the best video game movie at the moment. The fight between Chun Li & Vega is the best part (if you've seen it, you know why). :D But, the Metroid movie that is in production could soon take that honor (I hope, I hope, I hope).

Meira-Bates 11-22-2003 11:09 PM

Oh yeah, I also liked Tekken X.x don't know how I forgot it when I own a copy of the thing.

Voltron 11-23-2003 01:40 AM

PONG?!

Louie Anderson could be the ball.

chun-li in tights+really cool fight+chun-li's unmentionable+chun-li's unmentionable(but sadly censored)=OH yeah :D

Brodie 11-23-2003 08:11 AM

As much as I bitch about i, Resident Evil is probably the best. Mortal Kombat was cool too, the second sucked vigerously. Who kills off Johnny Cage and doesn't bring him back?! The first can stand on it's own as a solid flick, Goro was cool as hell, so was Reptile and Subzero.

Meira-Bates 11-23-2003 09:49 AM

heh How you guys go on about Street Fighter 2 makes me think of that messed up Street Fighter Alpha anime. Though I have to say I do like the fact Rose basicaly handed Ryu his arse, I didn't really like the movie. Anyhow, made me think of that because they kept showing shots of Chun-Li's breasts and butt and AHERM...even though she was fully clothed. I didn't think anything of it the first time or two, but the farther into the movie it went the more Chun-Li scenes seemed to be revolved around those three clothed parts...serieously X.x

That was cancelled, I believe.

As for VG movies, Mortal Kombat is the only decent one I can think of right now. The first one, mind. The sequal was pathetic to the point where it's actually humorous.

Dontebell 11-23-2003 12:27 PM

i don't know why evryone hate MK2 i think it was great.

Lord, she's crazy! :lol: I love SFA the movie. The only Street Fighter anime I haven't liked is SFII V. It's just...Too wrong. Way way way too wrong. Sagat and Ryu being friends is just unacceptable. SFII the animated movie though is just flat out...excellent. I can't begin to say how obsessed with Street Fighter I became because of that movie. And how can anyone be against Ryu!? That's the devil talkin', child.

Oh yea, and as far as the best video game based live action films go, I'm gonna have to say Mortal Kombat.. And the worst probably being Street Fighter, Double Dragon and Resident Evil.

The main reason I didn't like it was that it seemed to much like they just ripped off Battle Arena Todishen(sp?) anime's (which is another video game movie adaption I kinda like) plot, but threw in things like Ryu's fighting Akuma and junk @.@ and it's not so much I don't like Ryu (though I kinda don't) as it is that I DO like Rose ^.^

Karpo_007 11-23-2003 04:27 PM

Mortal Kombat was pretty good action movie. Rest of VG movies = T3h Suck. I can't even begin to Imagine why someone would consider RE a good movie... I watch Super Mario Brothers ten times in a row before even consider watching RE again.

Bowser_Koopa 11-23-2003 04:29 PM

well i LOVED it, it had so much action, and blood, and all that stuff, the only thing i didn't like was that it was a cliff hanger

*feels the same way....but liked the cliff hanger*

Karpo_007 11-23-2003 04:43 PM

Action and Blood... That pretty much proves you haven't see any "real" Zombie movies.

I haven't but is Resident Evil supposed to be like the Resident Evil games or like the "real" zombie movies? I need to see more movies period @.@ but I'm mostly wanting to see horror ones...any of those movies you'd recomend Karpo? ^.^

Karpo_007 11-23-2003 04:57 PM

Well there are a lot of Zombie movies out there, but pretty much only 3 that are considered classics, The Dead Trilogy directed by George A Romero. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead.

When you have seen those you will not consider Resident evil Bloody. The problem with that movie is the fact is was targeted to mass market, to Teenagers. I am a big fan of the game series, and was waiting for a Zombie/Horror movie, and I was very disapointed that it was a mere Teen action movie. Well biggest reason probably is the fact that I was Spoiled by the above mentioned Good Zombie movies.

Meira-Bates 11-23-2003 05:06 PM

Oooooh I can't wait to see those then *grins widely* Many thanks Karpo.

Leo656 11-23-2003 05:09 PM

.... did Karpo just say "T3h suck"???
