Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider is a campy masterpiece, as is the 00s Charlie’s Angels. How very dare you.

Angelina Jolie is the perfect Lara Croft. She's got the look, the skills and the angst. Dont even compare.

McG's version of Charlie's Angels had more to offer than Elizabeth Banks' version

Angelina Jolies Tomb Raider wasn’t terrible.

It`s Galactus not Galacticus......Research people,research.

Charlie’s Angels 2000, wasn’t terrible. It was the reboot that was terrible

Surprised Dark Phoenix isn't on the list.

I don't understand how CHARLIE'S ANGELS can be #1. The two movies from the early-2000's are generally well-liked and still remembered today. Maybe they're not perfect, but they're certainly not the worst ever.

With "Resident Evil" when I watched the BTS doco and saw the writer-director say that Chris Redfield believes everything Umbrella is doing is right, I knew "Yep, this person doesn't get it." Chris was suspicious and distrustful of Umbrella, NOT supportive.

the two original Charlie's Angel's movies were great...

Men in tights is a global treasure and formed who I am as an adult 😂

“Robin Hood: Men in Tights” the best live-action Robin Hood? I mean, I think it’s great, but I hope you see the Errol of your ways and watch “Adventures of Robin Hood.”

I know it's not an entire franchise, but the Dark Phoenix saga handling by either of the X-men iterations (or generations) went from bad to worse. There was great potential, but somehow, not much was learned from the first stumble.

eh Jolie's first Tomb raider movie was fun. Vikander's movie was mediocre cuz they didnt really understand the reboot

The first Hitman was fun, and so was the first Tomb Raider. Funny what you say about Timothy for Hitman as I remember seeing he was excited to make a second one

Um…Errol Flynn? “The Adventures of Robin Hood”?

Angelina Jolie was awesome. She looked like the character, she had good chemistry with the cast, and it was a cool adventure story. Idk why some people have a problem with it.

Robin Hood, you missed a few, Errol Flynn's in the 1930s, Patrick Bergins which came out around the same time as Prince Of Thieves, there were a few others as well. While Prince of Thieves was pretty gag worthy, it at least had the awesome Alan Rickman as the Sheriff

Agree with the general consensus on Tomb Raider. I liked it and I’m not really an Angelina fan. Especially when it came out, it gave young women their own Indiana Jones. It was at the beginning of the strong, female trope, which I certainly appreciated. And Charlie’s Angels… Was fun. As a little girl when the original series came out, I did not feel betrayed at all. The first one was terrific. Complete tongue in cheek scenery chewing.

Here's the thing, some of these are fun for the sake of being fun and deliver on said fun. That shouldn't be labeled as bad

The og haunted mansion movie is considered a cult classic The reboot I hear wasn’t that bad either

Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider are both great fun.

Oh, come ON! The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), directed by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca, etc, etc, etc) and starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Haviland, Basil Rathbone, and the greatest collection of character actors ever, is one of the all-time classics of cinema.

Errol Flynn Robin Hood.

There have been dozens of Robin Hood movies! The best of them include the classic 1938 Errol Flynn vehicle “The Adventures of Robin Hood” and the splendid 1976 version for grown-ups, “Robin and Marian,” starring Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn, and Robert Shaw.

The haunted mansion in 2023 was really good

The Adventures of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone is a classic, with iconic set pieces and performances, setting the hero film archetype that is still used to this day.

I loved all the original movies on this list. Milla Jovovich - Resident Evil, Angelina Jolie - Tomb Raider, Sienna Miller- G.I. Joe, Jessica Alba - Fantastic Four, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz - Charlies Angels, . Loved Street Fighter and Hitman. Never saw Haunted Mansion or Robin Hood.

The "doesn't need to be made into a movie" thing is a pet peeve. Nothing needs to be made into a movie. Also, Robinhood shouldn't be on this list. It hasn't had 2 bad adaptations. It's had multiple adaptations, some work, some don't.

I saw the first Street Fighter movie in the theater on Christmas when I was 16. I was left wanting. However, M. Bison has one the cinema’s best disses. “For you, the day Bison graced your village with his presence was the greatest moment of your life. For me, it was Tuesday.”

“Galacticus”

One adaptation of Robin Hood I didn't see mentioned in the comments is the classic Disney version. That's probably the best one imo.

They still haven’t got The Punisher right on the big screen. Although I personally enjoyed War Zone as a guilty pleasure.

How Dare You! Angelina Jolie as Tomb Raider was fantastic!

"Galacticus" ... 😀

Hey, don’t have a dig at the first Doom movie, that was a great romp.

Personal opinion, of course, but I really enjoyed the Angelina Jolie “Croft” movies, and the two Diaz, Barrymore, Liu “Charlie’s Angels” movies were also great fun. Although “Fantastic Four” and “Fantastic Four - Rise Of The Silver Surfer” were a bit clunky, they were still far, far more entertaining than the terrible Trank 2015 reboot.

Nah Prince Of Thieves is a really good Robin Hood film and nobody can convince me otherwise

Now that we’ve seen “Cats”, does anybody feel confident that a “Thundercats” movie would still work?

The first attempts with Tomb Raider and Charlie's Angels were still enjoyable, which is more than you could say about the follow ups.

Pirates of the Caribbean is also based on a theme park ride; Haunted Mansion isn't the only one.

You bite your tongue when it comes to Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood. That movie is cinematic gold!!!

It just occurred to me Micheal Bay's Transformer movies belong here😂

Kiss the girls was actually good though?

My favourite adaptation of Robin Hood has always been the British TV series Robin of Sherwood with Michael Praed and then Jason Connery in the lead role the supporting cast was great also theme tune by Clannad.

Hey now - I really enjoyed the Charlie's Angles movies.

20th Century Fox had to produce a 2nd Fantastic Four movie reboot in order to keep its license from Marvel Entertainment. Every bit of news regarding Josh Trank's reboot did not settle well with fans online. His awful reaction AGAINST those fans made the movie less palatable. What is astoundingly hilarious is that Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer portrayed Galactus as a giant, malevolent cloud, which was just a very awful decision. To top that, the creators of Ryan Reynold's unbeloved disasterpiece Green Lantern decided to make the main bad guy Parallax into a giant cloud, apparently with the idea: "We know how to repeat others' bad decisions just to show that we can make bad decisions."

Disney's animated version and Men in Tights are the only Robin Hood movies we need.

Prince of thieves was awesome

The McG Charlie's Angels movie was terrific fun. And I'm sorry, but dinging "Charlie's Angels" for embracing the "male gaze" is like complaining that women bounce in slow motion on Baywatch. You may be missing the point. If you thought people were watching the original TV show because female detectives are awesome, then you clearly have never heard the 1970s phrase "jiggle TV". (PSST! A lot of TV shows ONLY existed because of that. There was no Internet. There wasn't even videotape.)

Robin Hood shouldn't count as a franchise. That's like saying King Arthur or Dracula is a franchise. It's a classic character and story that has been adapted numerous times over the decades to varying degrees of quality.

Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider was awesome

I will not stand for the slander of the 2000’s Charlie’s Angels just so you can include the Kristen Stewert one on this list, and at the top as well. Great movies. No issue. How dare you.

Robin hood shouldn't be on this list b/c it's been adapted approximately 10000 times. Only Sherlock Holmes has been adapted more.

I liked Oliphant's Hitman. I agree it wasn't a great movie, though. It's a guilty pleasure of mine.

U forgot tomorrow land

The first Tomb Raider movie is excellent, it just is. It's got crazy good action sequences, good humour and the cast had excellent on screen chemistry. If you didn't enjoy the 00's Charlie's Angels, it's possible you don't understand satire at all. They were fantastic. Resident Evil did go off the rails at a certain point, but the first two were very good. How do you call Kiss the Girls anything less than awesome? Did you not see it?

I’d have to say both ‘Tomb Raider’ adaptations worked for the games that it embodied. The 2013 game was a different vibe. Aspects of the film were a bit corny, but the actress portrayal was spot on, in both instances.

Nothing wrong with Angelina Tomb Raider, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves or McG Charlie's Angels.

I enjoyed the Jolie movies, though haven't seen the new one. That said, a lot of these properties feel like they would fit better as a long-form TV show. Also... wait, the Mel Brooks does better than the Errol Flynn adaptation?

Mel Brooks' Robin Hood adaptation as the best to date. Sooooooo... Michael Curtiz's Oscar-nominated The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) doesn't exist, neither do Disney's version (1973), Robin and Marian (1976) and probably others. That's way when a ranking list usually says "of all time" and just quotes films, movies or series from the 90s or later, it's most likely and understatement if not a product of poor and neasighted work.

The only Robin Hood that kind of made sense was Mel Brooks'. And without Alan Rickman, Costner's version would be utter crap.

The funniest part of the second Hitman film is that it is just an elaborate ad for Singapore.

Correction, Emma, Errol Flynn's The Adventures of Robin Hook is the All Time Greatest Adaptation. Look for it. Find it. Watch it. Then admit when you're wrong. Men In Tights IS a great #2 because it so righteously lampoons the Kevin Costner Robin Hood film.

The Muppets version of the Haunted Mansion was fun

Was a bit confused about the Alex Cross sequel to the sequel. Not often you hear about the third movie being called a sequel.

I notice that there are no mentions of earlier Robin Hood movies, like those ones starring Errol Flynn. But, on the subject of Robin Hood, what could be a really good adaptation could be developments from the 80s TV series Robin of Sherwood. For me, that was the perfect adaptation which was true to a historical adaptation which also blended in the magical and religious elements into it too. If only something could be adapted from that sauce.

Men in Tights will always be the best Robin Hood movie.

Bad movies are subjective as everyone is not going to love the same movie made

You can't include Robin Hood. It's a constant rebootable in Hollywood. And since Prince of Thieves actually made money, including it as a "terrible adaptation" is incorrect anyway. Instead, you should have included a Hercules bullet. While I enjoyed Dwayne Johnson's Hercules, it didn't perform well, and the one a few years later was forgettable. It's also been a staple of Hollywood for many decades.

Trial and error Keep trying till u get it right practice makes perfect right

Why is pheobee waller bridge so important in the film industry right now? Something Im missing?

In Tyler Perry's defense (and I apologize to his fans for my opinion) to substitute Morgan Freeman in a reboot is like trying to make gold from rocks. Morgan's a legend for a reason.

If the missions from Hitman movies were played on the video game, 47 would receive the rating of MASS MURDERER for most of them, which in Hitman is the equivalent of a large red F on your English test. In a properly executed Hitman mission... - Only the target dies. - Either his death appears accidental, or his body isn't found until later. - 47 uses stealth, disguises, and distraction to go unnoticed. - The overall scene is undisturbed to the end, as opposed to screams and fleeing civilians. That doesn't mean a Hitman movie can't feature the occasional blown mission that yields a high body count. But I saw both movies, and they needed more fiber wire and less two handed Silverballer blasting.

The girl who talks in this video is crazy. Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider films are a lot of fun. I have both of them in my top 10 Video games films.

Raul Julia's performance spares the first Street Fighter from being considered terrible.

You forgot they made a Charlie's Angels series between the two film attempts that only lasted one season because it couldn't make up its mind as to what genre it wanted to be.

the 1st Fantastic Four movie, 1st Charlie's Angels movie, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Street Fighter are all just fun movies. Street Fighter isn't exactly good by any normal measure but it's entertaining just just for Raul Julia's scenery chewing awesomeness as Bison. The others are just overhated IMO. Also, G.I. Joe can work great as a movie....case in point, the animated 80s movie set within the run of the animated TV series. Live-Action is where the IP stumbles of course, but it CAN work

Street Fighter shouldn't have been on this list as it wasn't 2 different adaptions, but 1 adaption and a spinoff. Mortal Kombat should take it's place on the list.

The Animated G.I. Joe film is a fun ride at least, as is Street Fighter. Raul Julia's performance is iconic, but Street Fighter has more to offer than that: "QUICK! Change the channel!"

1st Tomb Raider was dope, Charlies Angeles was great &Full Throttle worked, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was a classic in America &the Resident Evil franchise's first five films were great zombie flicks, just not great Resident Evil films but I enjoyed every film in theaters

Take the Tomb Raider films off the list! They are all great in there's own ways.

So does Whatculture believe there have only been four adaptations of Robin Hood, or is it just that movies made before 1991 don’t exist to them?

I didn’t think Fantastic Four was terrible and although not great Rise of the Silver Surfer wasn’t terrible. I enjoyed Hitman and nowhere near terrible. As for Tomb Raider well it’s nowhere terrible, second one isn’t good, punching a shark kinda killed it for me but both are watchable and harmless fun. And I think you missed the point of Charlie’s Angles as it was deliberately made to be bad and OTT as a parody of its genre and I found them hilarious for that aspect.

G.I. Joe SHOULD be an awesome movie if you just brought Larry Hama on board to plot the damn thing. The guy took a toy idea and turned it into an animated series and comic book series that have had amazing longevity because there's actually some depth to the characters. Hollywood's snobbery towards anyone who isn't in the film industry has sunk many a comic book adaptation, and G.I. Joe is a prime example.

I watched the first Charlie’s Angels movies for Bill Murray’s and Tim Curry’s male bonding scenes.

The Adventures of Robin Hood from 1938 starring Errol Flynn is the best Robin Hood movie

Angelina Jolie was perfect as Lara Croft whereas Alicia Vikander had none of those needed curves,in fact she could probably hide behind a lamp post.

AVI ARAD made the 2005s FANTASTIC FOUR just as an excuse for him to sell toys The characters were shallow, the action was limited, and the story went nowhere

I don't know what you're smoking, but tone it down. Most of these movies weren't bad. Never seen the fantastic four franchise or the rebooted Charlie's angels, so can't comment there.

The animated Resident Evil movies are way better than the live action ones. Also, the Muppets version of Haunted Mansion is the best version for me. It’s great fun.

All Robin Hood movies are great, enough said.

The 2015 fantastic four movie was also made so they wouldn't lose the rights. Fox just spent way more money than they did in the 90d.

The original IT movies were pretty good and I'd argue part 2 of the original two films was better than part 2 of the recent ones.

I wonder how Paul Walker's Hitman film would have been. Nothing like that reboot one i think. Because he was cast first. They also should have ended Fast and Furious at Part 7. Perfect Ending for the Series.

Eh, the Scott and Crowe Robin Hood wasn't THAT terrible, I liked it, and it's what got me interested in learning the history of King John Lackland and the Magna Carta. Prior to this I was still a history nerd, but all I was interested in regarding British history was the events in and around 1066 the Norman Invasion and Conquering of England, and the events of the First War of Scottish Independence (which I became interested in after watching Braveheart).

If you're going to watch Robin Hood, the 1938 "The Adventures of Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn is the best one ever made (IMO of course)

Amazing how few of these movies I have even heard of. [EDIT] Men in tights was a good laugh :)

Wait did you say Galactcus?

The reason Mel Brooks' Men in Tights is considered the "best" Robin Hood is because he made a parody. Like everything else Brooks does, it is extremely funny and that's what people like: the humor. You can not consider that a Robin Hood story any more than you can consider Blazing Saddles a western or Scary Movie a horror film. I personally prefer the grounded Patrick Bergin version to the Kevin Costner one. Both came out in 1991, but the Bergin one is better. (Alan Rickman is a gem, but they overdo it). I really liked what Ridley Scott did in the Russell Crowe Robin Hood (try to establish it historically and a mature romance between Blanchett and Crowe) But if I'm being honest, the best Robin Hood is the Disney one from 1973. That one holds up nicely.
