    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..

    That was the best part! The guy who played Raiden after he "transformed" looked like Guile actually...

    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.

    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!
    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.

    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:
    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.
    For your pleasure (Screenshots of the last quote):

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.
