Out of boredom, I recently watched some video game movies.
Super Mario Bros: weird, not good, but kind of awesome. Definite 80s/90s weirdness
Doom: solid 7/10 action movie. Love the FPS part
Max Payne: amazing job with the visuals. Really captures the aesthetics of the game. Marky Mark and Mila Kunis are always watchable
Dungeon siege: low budget lord of the rings knockoff. What you’d expect in the dollar dvd bin.

(Honorable mention: resident evil. Probably the best, certainly the most successful, adaptations)

What do y’all think of video game movies?

Postal the movie is Uwe Boll's most faithful adaption of a video game by far. And it even has JK Simmons in it.

Rampage was a fun monster movie

Street Fighter the Movie (with Jean-Claude van Damme) is so bad it's good.
Street Fighter the Legend of Chun-Li is a complete waste of time.

The first Mortal Kombat movie is a fun martial arts flic with supernatural elements.
The second is a complete waste of time.

The first Doom movie was kinda okay. But did you know there's a second one called Doom Annihilation ? That's another one worth skipping.

The first Hitman movie was okay, even if the lead actor looks nothing like Agent 47. The one from 2015 ? Doesn't even try to capture the atmosphere of the games.

And I saw the Wing Commander movie. That's also a thing

Resident Evil may be the best , though the content is not related to the game its compeletly another topic but characters are the same ,, as for the looks

Witcher Tv-Series too but its not a movie i suppose its not valid
Mortal Kombat Animations too old they were but unique and almost gave the same and even better feelings

Lord of the rings as for the lego and another one
Mad max As the Warner Bros game and the movie by Tom hardy for max
Hitman - Max Payne -
Warcraft - movie was so bad i didnt even look at it

there are to many good games related to the movies many of them came out just fine

it could be a good idea to make a game from movies or cartoons depends who makes it . if they leave it to Warner Bros Or Capcom , Bandai Namco it will come pretty good

I thought Silent Hill was really good, and the sequel was okay.

Does Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within count? It's a very good movie, but a terrible adaptation of Final Fantasy. Of the 2 Final Fantasy movies, I think it's the better; Advent Children was a hot mess of bad fanfiction with really impressive graphics.

One of my favorite video game series, Dragon Age, has a real-life movie. It went about as well as one would expect and it felt cheaply made.
But I really liked it anyway XD I guess I'm just a sucker for anything related to Dragon age :"D
