Video Game Based Films

What are your best or worst video game adoptions on the big or small screen?

Here is my best for obvious reasons and with whom they gave full justice to the original games heritage...

Mortal Kombat (1995)

Street Fighter 2 The Animated Movie (1994)

Doom - It wasn't the best of films but I enjoyed it and the FPS homage sequence was well done.

The ending was left nice and open for a 2nd film but it's never materialised.

I'll be in the minority, but I enjoyed Max Payne, in a dumb, Friday night, post-pub sort of way. And the Tomb Raider films too, undemanding, pretty piffle that they are (bonus points for a perfectly-cast Jolie - no one else could have played that role - and a pre-Bond Daniel Craig).

Worst film based on a video game? Has to be Super Mario Brothers.

I can only think of the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil films that were worth watching,although the later REs strayed miles away from the plot of the games, and just used the characters. Hitman was alright, in a so crap its good way. All the others were pretty awful really.

Coming soon, wreck it ralph.

Yes that version was only saved by Raul Julia who was an inspirational cast as M. Bison though they should have cast a far more domineering figure for such an evil final boss. I have linked under Street Fighter 2 The Animated Movie which is the best adoption of that game by far.

I also loved Tekken: The Motion Picture (Video 1997)

Don't you just love that classic Japanese animation, it had so much class.
