Your Thoughts on Movie Based on Video Games or about Games

Since generic games get the nod:
Mazes and Monsters - 1982. The best so bad it is good RPG movie there is

For good RPG movies:
The Gamers and The Gamers Dorkness Rising

Mazes and Monsters is pretty awesome.

I want to nominate House of the Dead as a so good its bad movie.

not saying that he is good or bad at acting, just that i didnt think he fit the part. I mean come on most people would agree that raiden is an asian guy. what kind of white guy walks around witht he cone hat lol. Plus look at the arcade cabinet of MK2 he is definitly asian.

Pretty good action and good cast except for Raiden - Mortal Kombat 1 9

Christopher Lambert was the best actor in that movie.

I liked Cloak & Dagger never owned the game though.

Shenmue: The Movie is the best movie based on a video game.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time looks stupid, bad casting choices, besides Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina.

Raiden Asian? WTF are you on about? Is it because of the hat? That's Ed Boon's imagination for you. If anything I felt Raiden to be the least ethnic character in the series, besides the masked ninjas of course.

And Street Fighter has Raul Julia in it. Anything with RJ in it is more than watchable!

Good, but the main character could have been casted better. - Custer's Revenge: The Movie 9.2

Dead Space: Downfall was pretty awesome, you should watch it

[darthmunky]

I liked Street Fighter, Double Dragon, and Mortal Kombat.

PS: I thought Christopher Lambert was perfect as Raiden. There's also rumors that he's playing Raiden again in the re-boot MK movie.

I feel like Mortal Kombat worked so well as a movie because the game already felt like a license game based off of a cheesy martial arts flick. The movie was just as silly and ridiculous as the game and I loved it for that.

To date, we have not really seen a movie based game that can be taken seriously though

What I've seen of the Resident Evil movies fall into that it's so bad it's good category for me. Though it irks me that they seem to revolve around a made up character not from the games.
