What was the best video game movie?

[Jasoco]

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?

I liked the first Tomb Raider movie. I actually plan on buying it on DVD today AND I have it TiVo'd. It's that good. A little cheesy, but I loved it. I haven't seen the second, but the trailers made me impressed. But I can't find it less than $20. Even at DeepDiscountEVE it's $20 marked down from $30 normally. $30?? Who sells it for $30? Oh well. Maybe one day it'll be on. I'll tell TiVo to scan HBO, Max and Starz for it.

I love my TiVo.

I haven't watched every movie based on a videogame but I've seen most of them and Mortal Kombat is the best IMO, followed buy Resident Evil, All I wanted to see was the famous hand stand in TR, all Jolie had to do was that handstand for me (filmed from behind of course, like the game ) and I would hav been satisfied with the movie but noooooo, they decided to keep the hand stand out of the movie just like in the Saturn version of TR


I hope RE: Apocalypse is done well and I dread the thought of a Soul Caliber Movie x_x

tron

i remember when people actually thought that visuals would never get better than tron, it was the pinnacle of special effects in a movie,

I liked The Last Starfighter and The Wizard too.

RE Hands down, was hoping for nudity

Resident Evil.

While it didn't follow any single game story line, it had that RE feel to it.

[classicb]

I had to go with Tomb Raider Cradle of Life. I don't think its a great movie but given the choices that's what I had to go with. It's also the newest of the movies listed so maybe their getting better. Even if it's not that much.

[ShinobiMan]

Silent Hill.

I voted in Mortal Kombat.
Because the screenplay are writed by Ed Boon and John Tobias, the creators of game.

I had the CD Soundtrack of the movie.

I always enjoyed Double Dragon, which I voted for. Scott Wolf and Mark Dacascos may have had corny dialogue but they also had pretty good chemistry with each other. It reminded me a little bit of the three TMNT movies.

After that, I'd say Mortal Kombat I and II. Those and Super Mario Bros.

[Cryomancer]

Super Mario Bros. I own it on Laserdisc I saw it in the theatre as a kid. I don't care that it's so very, very wrong at so many things. It's fun, damnit.

Parasite Eve

[GiantPooka]

I was weak, I had to vote for Street Fighter.

It's just the single funniest movie ever made, in the thin disguise of a serious action film. Van Damme's lack of being able to pull off an American accent convincingly just seals the deal.

Also, Zangief was spot-on.

[.Goomba24]

I went ahead and voted Super Mario Bros..

Alone in the Dark (2005)

[Habeeb Hamusta]

Someone actually voted for House of the Dead...WHY!?

[The Great Dane]

Mortal Kombat 1 is my pick. It is the only video game movie I like. It was done very well and actually followed the plot of the original game very closely.

Now, MK 2 wasn't good, in my opinion. It was actually based on MK3, which really upset me as 2 is my favorite game and I really wanted to see a movie based on it. Plus they changed several of the original actors.

[Three-P]

Mortal Kombat was one of the first game movies that didn't suck ass.

Resident Evil was ok, and I heard some good things about Silent Hill. Otherwise, they mainly suck.

*in prayer* Please, God. Don't let the people who are doing the Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania movies ruin them. Amen.

Your eternal servant, the Pissed PlayStation Pimp.
