What was the best video game movie?

[thegreatescape]

hooray for first my first post...

Too bad the Sonic animated movie isnt there, that was pretty good (except for the strage robotnic-sarah relationship).
My vote vote went to Wing Commander. I really, really liked that movie. Its like wwII in space!

And the sound that those machine gun type weapons the fighters had is like a drug.
I wonder if its out on dvd...

Mortal Kombat is the best by far, IMO. Then again, too many VG based movies suck ass. Tomb Raider was the only other one I really liked. I still need to see RE, though.

[Buyatari]

Bah these movies suck.

I love movies and I love games but a decent video game movie is as likely as a successfull Madonna film.

It hasn't happened yet and it doesn't look good.

[Buyatari]

There have been a couple sucessful games which were first movies.

Honestly the most sucessful Video Game turned into movies would have to be the Pokemon movies. I know the Wizard did well at the box office. Does anyone know where you can find the final numbers for these movies?

i liked mortal kombat the best, tomb raider was a close 2nd but i felt that MK Kept more of the game in mind when it was made.

The Final Fantasy movie was done the best.
The Resident Evil movie sucks!!!

My vote went to MARIO BROTHERS! I actualy just bought that on DVD recently, great movie, to me.
A close second would have been mortal combat, then street fighter.

Final Fantasy. 'Nuff said. Super Mario Bros. was about as being thrown out a window over and over and over again. And I ALMOST picked up Street fighter, just to see how crappy it was, but that would have been a waste of 2.00.

I voted for Super Mario Bros like NintendoMan.

I also bought it recently for $7 off www.DeepDiscountDVD.com and even though there are no special features, it's a hell of a great flick. So what if it wasn't more like the games? At least there were references in it. ( LINK )

In close second and third would be Tomb Raider and Resident Evil.

Dennis Hopper was just perfect as Koopa. If you actually take the time to watch it and appreciate it, you notice just how into his character he gets.

Iggy and Spike were great as the cousins.

Samatha Mathis made a great Daisy.

Once you get passed the total lack of a actual Mario-esque feel it is a better movie.

In fact, the world portrayed in the movie is more believable than the world portrayed in the actual games... *cough*

I voted Super Mario Bros but under protest. My favorite video game movie is The Wizard. It stars Fred Savage. Its just a huge commercial for Nintendo.
Heres some info about it:

The Wizard is great. It's not based on a game, but it was great. Wish it was on DVD here. Da bastards!

[Darth Sensei]

I bought Wing Commander this past weekend and I was terribly disappointed. I'd have to vote for MK1.

Wonder what happened to Lee?

Anywho...I chose Resident Evil...it's the only one I consider good enough to own on DVD. The rest are, meh.

[Jasoco]

I bought Super Mario Bros for $7 off DeepDiscountDVD. It was well worth it. Resident Evil's good because Milla Jovovich is hot.

[digitalpress]

I added the fairly recent Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life and The House of the Dead to the poll/list, but I feel like I'm leaving something else out.

Any other movies based on a video game in recent months?
