Don't forget that Raul Julia (M. Bison) was dying of cancer during the filming, and he only took the role because his kids loved Street Fighter and he thought it would be a good way for them to remember him. Keep in mind that this was his last role he ever took before dying, and if he didn't take this role then his last movie would've been "The Burning Season", which he later won a Golden Globe, and Emmy, and a Screen Actor's Guild award for, posthumously. The man was a total legend.

I would’ve never thought of Raul Julia, if you were to ask me to cast a Street Fighter movie, as he’s way too small and skinny (and yes, I know he was dying of cancer at the time) and hardly the large, intimidating figure I think Bison should be. But f*** me if he didn’t play that role to perfection. He’s easily, the main reason Street Fighter is one of my favorite movies, in spite of how bad it is.

You forgot the single best line from Bison, though. "I'm sorry... I don't remember any of it." "You don't remember?!" "To you - the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me? It was... Tuesday."

It wasn't supposed to be an original plot, though. A big part of the problem was that they kept telling people they'd get a faithful adaptation of the first game, then giving something that didn't have much in common with the game. And mother was most certainly NOT god in the eyes of a child in the game they were supposed to be adapting.

The real problem with _Silent Hill_ IMO is that it shaped its plot around providing symbolic significance for the same imagery from the games. It was what most video game movies are: an elaborate excuse to show off things fans would recognize from the games, like a trophy room in motion.

The music will never escape my brain, the fight scenes are pretty good, it follows the story pretty well(except the Scorpion-Sub Zero rivalry, but let's be honest, they couldn't stuck a major plot line like this in a 1.5 hour movie), the casting is great (to the point Kano's persona was changed after the movie to be more like that version). Too bad they soiled it's legacy with the second one.

Yes and no. The exception to this that I've seen (yes, I've watched the Tomb Raider movies he was in) is When Evil Calls. True, it was a TV miniseries (think a blend of the 1980 It "miniseries" with the movie One Missed Call with a dash of "The Monkey's Paw"), but it has Sean Pertwee as a janitor, Dominique Pinon as a police detective that is also the poster child for cirrhosis of the liver (he happily pours a bottle of whiskey onto his corn flakes), Chris Barrie as the school headmaster (and father of the main character), and has appearances by Gemma Chan (in her debut role) and Sean Brosnan (Pierce's son). The thing was so bad it's good and the biggest saving grace is Chris Barrie pretty much stealing every scene he's in...his fully nude rebuke of a young man (who wished to see through clothes...he was watching a girls' volleyball practice as he received the text, you see) was just *hilarious*.

Sir Billius no, it's because they're usually very bad. Mainly because a good game doesn't always translate to a movie, and a lot of them are from an era where there wasn't the technology to get much story across (although now the problem would be that there's too much story). Doom's story is basically just a paragraph, and 90 minutes of shooting demons isn't really going to work.

It would be easy to blame critics for Warcraft movie,but it wouldn't be fair. While I liked the movie very much,I can understand that to someone who doesn't know the lore of Warcraft universe it would be confusing.Even a friend that played Warcraft 3 but didn't know the lore beyond(or before) it constantly asked me about who was who and what was what in the movie. And we always say,movie should be capable to stand on it's own and not rely on other mediums to fill the holes up. That being said,I would love if the sequels were made just for fans,which unfortunately is not going to happen. I would love to see Arthas on big screen.

No, I don't think a TES movie would work because the surface level story is just recycled Tolkien/D&D. On a story level, the only interesting part of TES is its deep lore - getting into the creation of the world and how that's no moon, that's a portal to Oblivion. And there's just no way to put that onscreen. Any attempt to film TES would just turn into a third-rate LOTR ripoff. TES is best when it's about the stories YOU are making while interacting with the world of Tamriel. That just can't translate to film.

I have got to agree, that my favourite ever film adaptation of a game, which (whilst not *entirely* faithful to the original material) I personally think improves upon it in several ways, is Silent Hill. The characterisation and casting is pretty on point, the atmosphere is bang on and for the most part - extremely effective, it includes the various meditations on the human condition that were the defining aspects of the Silent Hill franchise in Silent Hill 1 and 2, most of the characters are in some way both relatable and believable (with the obvious exception, for most people, of Pyramid Head... unless I have a REALLY bad hangover...) it avoids being too cheesy and is both (contextually) plausible and believable, as are the relationships between the various different characters. So props to you Jane for picking that one. It's an awesome film which I must have watched at least 5 times to date. Tomb Raider was pretty good too. Also... SEAN BEAN LIVES!!

Really? I always thought the Mortal Kombat movie was better than Street Fighter. It stuck to the lore of the game where it needed to, took liberties where it needed to, the action was as violent as it could get away with, and the script while incredibly stupid and campy match the tone of the games perfectly. It also effected the series lore in a number of very meaningful ways that still stand to this day like Kano being made an Australian, the number of tournaments being upped from 1 to 10, making Raiden more of a mentor and father figure rather than a vengeful and mostly just bored god out to protect the humans he enjoys messing with, etc. In terms of how much of a positive impact a video game movie had very few reach the heights of the first Mortal Kombat movie, with the notable exception of the Riddick films.

But for every fan it was well scripted,well acted movie with great CGI that they wanted to see. I loved the movie and I hope they made enough money to consider making a sequel.

I knew nothing about the warcraft lore or world and I loved the movie, the movie actually made me give the game a chance.

One thing that actually makes me Warcraft movie to make sense... is the In-Game lore: Through quests and events we witness in the game (Warlord's of Draenor expansion ESPECIALLY), we find out there are hundreds, if not thousands of seperate Timelines of Azeroth. Which adds to the Movie itself, it's another Azeroth Timeline that didn't go exactly 100% in events, like things went in OUR Timeline (Where we play in, in the acutal WoW game...).

Super Mario Bros was a good film, if you watch it as a stand-alone film with video game references. And I loved street fighter the movie (yes, I understand the plot).

I never knew that the Mario Brothers film was a thing until like 10 years after it came out. When I saw Nostalgia Critic review it the plot strangely seemed familiar to me. Then I realized that roughly 80% of the plot of the Mario Brothers film was lifted from a back to the future animated tv show episode called Forward to the Past which aired a full 2 years before the Super Mario Brothers movie came out.

Much to their credit, both Raul Julia ,Jean Claude and other actors took their roles seriously, which actually made the film memorable. While I'm not sure if this counts, I thought "Halo 4 Forward unto Dawn" was actually a well done movie. The eye candy laden "Dead or Alive" movie should be included.

Not to pick favorites, but Jane Douglas is my favorite of the outside xbox/outside xtra team. Literally I agree with everything she discusses. For the Silent Hill movie I remember seeing it in theaters and just loving it. As a fan of Silent Hill I felt the movie did an excellent job. Instead of going with a male lead to play Henry to follow the game more, they chose a female lead, and personally I think Radha Mitchell is phenomenal in every acting role she's portrayed. Check out Pitch Black, it's one of the Chronicles of Riddick movies. Anyway, love this channel and can't stop watching episodes even though I actually have stuff to do today. DAMN YOU FOR BEING SO ADDICTING sorry to scream you know I love you outside xbox/xtra. Keep up the good work!

If you're talking all movies, the various Pokemon films dominate, with Legend of Darkrai being my favorite. If you're talking only Hollywood made films, Mortal Kombat is the best hands-down with the "so-bad-it's-good" Street Fighter film being my second favorite

I remember that Silent Hill got a lot of hate for using too much CGI creatures, only none of the creatures where CGI. They where actors and dancers. Not the first time fans have seen CGI where there are none. Like Land of the Dead that got a lot of hate for using CGI zombies only the zombies weren't CGI, they where actors in makeup.
