Mine's Mortal Kombat. I know it's kinda silly but the fight scenes are great and love the characters and the soundtrack.
Then Silent Hill. It captured the feeling of the games. The first Resident Evil movie was also pretty fun but wasn't really close to the game series. Also Final Fantasy Advent Children was alright. Nice fighting scenes with great characters but not much of a story. It really felt more like a game than a movie.
Which one movie adaptation of a videogame is your favorite?
[question posted by Bionicman]
responses and comments:
I would have to say Street Fighter for me. The adaptation from video game to movie is pretty good. But not only with movies but video games as well, a story has to be written in order to create the story line in the game. So of course as we know the story was already there, but someone thought it would be better as a video game first, which with some is very true, others.... errr ummm I think the movie should have been done first. [chulce]
Haha I really didn't expect someone would say Street Fighter. People usually think it's one of the worst videogame movies ever. It's a pretty good comedy tho:) And I must admit that I liked it as a kid. [Bionicman]
I agree Bionicman, Mortal Kombat , not only is an awesome movie but, hey the video game was awesome I think it came out in the 90's my older brothers used to play the video game all day long, but I was little so they wouldn't let me play, but when I finally grew up I bought the video game and man the fatalities were freaking awesome. [Gabby21]
FINISH HIM! ......... YOUR SOUL IS MINE!surrender [rjvb26]
I would have to say Mortal Combat too. The fight scenes were awesome and since it stayed pretty close to the video game it was done right. [gitfiddleplayer]
I mean "really hate". Why did I wrote "have"? what the hell [Bionicman]
Mine is Final Fantasy VII, a CGI Movie based from the character themselves although modified at a time. I am playing Street Fighter II Turbo in My Famicom where Movies of Street Fighter Starring Vandam as Guile. [suchadazzy]
I don't even want to see that movie [Bionicman]
I liked all the films you mention but I would have to agree with you with Mortal Kombat being one of my favorites just a pity the sequel was not as good, it did have some great fight scenes and everytime I see it, the title theme tune always gets stuck in my head. I loved seeing Scorpion and Sub Zero, just for the cool factor they have. [thezone]
Thanks that was Awesome. The guy is like super human or something. How does the guy kick that highconfused All I know is that I would not pick a fight with him lol. [thezone]
Yea mine is mortal kombat also. It was a great game and pretty good movie. So far most movies based on video games are just... i dont know, doesnt make sense. I liked Hitman but I still dont know what it was about. What happened at the end lol....is there gonna be a sequel. I think they making a gears of war movie i cant wait for that. [gamingworld]
I haven't seen Hitman yet, but I don't like the choice of actor to play Agent 47 [Bionicman]
I have a sick, strange love for the resident evil movies. I know they're not like the games, and I know they're not good movies, but I love them anyways. [deathspectacular]
I liked the first one. I thought second one was absolutely horrible. Third one was ok but it had more of the new Prince of Persia feel than Resident Evil. [Bionicman]
The resident evil movies, were my favorite. I agree that the story was different, but it took a good game and made it into a good movie. The far cry movie was decent, but could have been a little better. [cooldude09]
Well, the story was horrible, but the action was good. [cooldude09]
for movies and games well sometimes they don't come out that great. but there are a few that do come out nice. my favorite would have to be resident evil. I first played resident evil for the PlayStation one. O the good old days. now them movies are really great, maybe not for the last one, but wasn't to bad. yeah and mortal Kombat is really good also. when I was a kid I did like double dragon, and super Mario brothers. weren't the greatest but made due, not only that it was still the born of video games. [hoodwinks]
I loved Double Dragon. I think I would be really disappointed if I'd see it today [Bionicman]
Hmmm...I haven't really thought of it. Usually, it's the worst ones that always comes to mind first. As for the good ones, there was the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movie, the first Resident Evil movie, and of course Mortal Kombat. Or I can be cheesy and choose the Double Dragon movie. I remember liking that one as a kid. It's probably a good thing that I haven't seen that one in years though. I'd probably end up hating it. [saizo6]
Another Double Dragon fan. I loved it too as a kid but I'm afraid to watch it again. [Bionicman]
Favorite movie based of mine would have to be Final Fantasy too. I am always with this idea of great graphics in a game-movie adaptation and the more characters, the more better. Options, that is. Mortal Kombat is one of the best games of all time.. no doubt about it. Resident Evil is amazing too, as well as House of the Dead. [zed_k4]
Thanks for the recommendation; it really looks interesting and fun to play. [zed_k4]
mine all time favorite will be Hitman great movie and the game is awesome. my second movie is mortal kombat i like liu kang very much great action. [lootty2009]
I'm yet to see Hitman movie. I only played Hitman 2 demo [Bionicman]
My favourite one is "Hitman". I agree that the movie could have been much better, but it was definitely a good entertainer. [uraniumraj]
Many Hitman fans here. Your first post? Welcome to mylot [Bionicman]
Mine are Dragon balls. i love when they fight at the house..no punch can defeat 7 peoples.the storylines are okay.the fighting and power seems real and the graphic is da bomb..so my rate for dragon ball evolution is 9.5/10 the 0.5 percent more is the story doesnt show us a good clear why he can see things in dragonball [hafifthzx]
Please tell me you're not serious. It's a joke right? Yeah, gotta be a joke. hehehe, good onew00t [Bionicman]
Oh this is a good one, and i have lots of favorite movies that are based on games. I like Resident Evil, as i am a fanatic of the game and i merely finish all of it's games, that is why it became a favorite movie of mine, when it came out. I also love final fantasy just like you, cause i love rpg games and that is the first rpg game that i have played. Silent hill is also a hell of a movie, not only because of it's story and the game, but also because of it's very good SFX (speciall effects). And a new movie called Assassin's Creed, that is also based on an RPG pc game. That is all i can share with you, have a great day! [rjvb26]
Sorry for this but i have mistaken about the movie i did not finish it and did not read the whole description but... it is very good even if it is short one. Try this out.. http://www.watch-movies-online.tv/movies/assassins_creed/ [rjvb26]
Mine is Final Fantasy VII:Advent yay! Actually i'm not the 1st fan of FF, not even the first 1000 >.<, but I do love the graphic in that movie. It was awesomely cool and the plus point is Tifaaaaa. The fighting scene is cool and the background is beautiful too, full of fantasy. Yeah, that movie makes me kind a feel that graphic animanition holds very important role in movies nowadays. Love it very much! [Turn_on]
When it comes to CGI movies, I'm looking forward to seeing Avatar [Bionicman]
I would have to go with Laura Croft Tombrader. Angelina Jolie is just so hot, it's an irresistible movie. Plus she kicks butt, not many girls can pull that off. It's a good movie and very interesting. One of the only movies I've seen thats been better then it's video game. [snafushe]
O yes Lara wow! (speechless..) [rjvb26]
My favorite video game based movie is Silent Hill. It was just like the game and very interesting. I'm hoping they make a sequel. [animegirl334]
I'd also like to see a sequel [Bionicman]
1. Resident Evil 2. Alien vs Predator 3. Final Fantasy 4. Silen Hill (Ordered in a way i enjoyed them). If you ask anime which turned into game then there are lots of it and i can't list all. [starscream]
I was not aware of that one. Thanks for letting me know that. [starscream]
Here is the list in order: 1. Resident Evil 2. Alien vs Predator 3. Silent hill 4. Final Fantasy 5. Tomb Raider I like some movies from anime as well. Like Blood which was released this year. But anime-to-movie list will be bi. [starscream]
How was Blood? Didn't even know it's out yet [Bionicman]
Hello Bionicman,,, I think many of Video games are famous in The Movie Such as : Resident Evil Great too, From the game that killing the Zombie and fight the Nemesis to win the stage. When i Saw the Movie, Wow.. It's very nice!!! The Movie is make me spooky because the sound effect and the zombie looks real. Mortal Kombat nice too, From the Fighting Game until the Story game to defeat the SHO KHAN and SHANG THUNG. This Games very sadist, because the fight with real blood effect and there some animality, Fatality and other. But the Friendship too, funny. In The Movie, Mortal Kombat not to sadist, and the movie effect not to spooky. but the movie are great too. Street Fighter good, This Game is Very Famous until now. Which the player will fight with other player. Movie Of Street Fighter is nice too, the Actris an actors are good play it. [teecoz]
Mortal Kombat games are really gory so it's interesting when you realize that there wasn't a singe drop of blood in the movie. [Bionicman]
I also like Mortal Kombat all series and I really fond of watching those movies again and again. second i like more is Hitman,although movie was not that much hit but for me it was very good and i like the way he fights in trains specially [zahidz]
I wish Jason Statham played Agent 47. Timothy Olyphant makes me laugh [Bionicman]
hey friend.... i recently play mortal kombat game in play station 2 in two player story mode...not fighting each other.... And i like it most.. Me and my cousin play play station 2 regularly and always searching for 2 players game in story mode. Recently we played this game and i think it is the best. it is not like fighting with each other but game is in story mode like player 1 and 2 fight with enemies... So based on movies i also prefered mortal kombat....... But generally my favourite game is Prince Of Persia... i have completed all 3 or 4 parts of it.. [padhiaranand]
Never played it that way [Bionicman]
I think the adaptation of the Final Fantasy Video game is quite nice too. [bishopluc]
I'm surprised how many people have seen it. [Bionicman]
I can never get enough of the final fantasy games and I've played just about every one. Also, I like Resident Evil, Tomb Raider. They are really fun games.happy [dasani]
It has to be Final fantasy 7 [dasani]
That was a good movie and video game, but I prefer Tomb Raider I'm more of a hunt and find person, you know solving problems then action. [sherric1222]
I found Tomb Raider movie really disappointing. Expected a cute version of Indiana Jones but they put some story that hardly made any sense. The second one was even worse. [Bionicman]
I would have to say that Resident Evil is probably the best videogame turned into movie. They did an excellent job putting the games graphics into the movie I thought. I think it would be awesome if they made a movie for the game Fallout 3 for xbox 360. [jambi462]
Are you talking about Resident Evil Degeneration? I didn't like it much. [Bionicman]
Does it have to be an offical movie? Like in the theaters? If not, I'd say MapleStory. Some people can make simple pixels the next thing you wait for in your life. [ImNotLikeYou]
This is an interesting discussion and I am definitely a big gamer and when it comes to movies based on a video game I guess I would have to say that my favorite is Mortal Kombat as well because it has some kick butt fighting and it is always fun to beat the snot out of other people,even though now I am more into shooting games and war games,and stealth games,right now one of my favorites is Assassins Creed but I like playing Mortal Kombat every once in a while.
