Videos games movies are shit because they always seem to intentionally wipe they butts with the source material lore. Like Zack Snyder!

So SJ still Not know why you Failed to include Silent Hill 1 .....my Theory is had you done so Roth could NOT gone All John Wick on that plate

Wasn't The Wizard's reveal of SMB3 kinda stalled because the movie's release was pushed back and the game actually came out before the movie opened? It also gave us Toby Maguire as a pink shirted goon extra.

Why was Ed's racist comment left in the video? Telling white people to go back in time and free their slaves assumes that all white people's ancestors owned slaves and that only white people were slave owners.

I 100% agree. It's not completely faithful to every detail of the games, but no adaptation every is. It did a perfect job or portraying the feel and atmosphere though.

Went to the comments first (normally a mistake) just to see if Silent Hill was overlooked again. Of course it is.

lol POP

What about my favorite one??? Double Dragon

I'm going to go out on a limb here, I'm just going to do it. You can quote me if you want, but Prince of Persia was definitely one of the video game movies that ever existed. And no, I didn't miss a word - what I'm saying is that Prince of Persia is a movie that exists.

As a PoP fan, that movie was sub-par to a level that's insulting.

Silent Hill was good until the final act, when they decided to pretty much stop the movie and explain the whole plot up to that point to the audience. "Oh, in case you didn't catch all the breadcrumbs we laid out for you in the last hour, here's what happened to this little girl and how the town got destroyed." Prince of Persia's problem was also in its final act (Hollywood whitewashing notwithstanding) where the hero turns back time and essentially nullifies everything that happened in the movie so it didn't happen. It's a prime example of one of the worst aspects of time travel plots in movies.

IKR!

As an American, I wish I could tell you why. One of America's mysteries, like football, cheeseburgers and what all of us were doing on November 8, 2016.

Mate (Curtis), what Brits do you know that mis-pronounce your name like that, that's bizarre? I (who live here) know none, though there might be a tiny change due to regional difference. Secondly you mean accent not dialect (in regards your name). Thirdly It clearly isn't dialect, it is lack of attention. There are Laura's and there are Lara's, these are clearly different words and names in common usage here (and the same must be true in the US I guess), so it is mis-prounciation, not dialect or accent.

My man @Thomas_Barlow!

It’s not great, but it definitely is not terrible. It’s a video game movie where they actually tried and cared about the property, and in many cases it really shows. They put a lot of effort in the production design, costumes, atmosphere, and music. The story just doesn’t come together all that well.

Osterman Exactly. It's like a 6/10 for me personally

I know! Maybe she should be the full-time plate smasher for these videos. Or she has found a new vocation...

rhythmoriented Hardcore Henry is awesome!

I own that movie, it is great

The fight scene between Chung Li and Vega is hands down one of the best fight scenes of all time. If they made a faithful live-action version of the animated Street Fighter 2 movie, it would’ve broken the video game movie curse for sure.

Ceka D fun hang confirmed! -joe

They just have to stop focusing on adapting the thing in general and focus on the main ideas of the world or story. It's not that different from adapting books. For example a Final Fantasy movie, Advent Children kind of works because it's an isolated story after the game has happened. The other movie is just a dumb thing. In my opinion they should pick up the elements that make up a Final Fantasy game and create their own world and story. Make a party of fixed 3 or 4, instead of our 8 or whatever that we pick around. And if really needed be, make it two movies or three. Don't squeeze stuff. A Sky-Pirate boy and his Chocobo meets a run-away Princess and they both find and save a Black Mage who's the last of hi... nope! Can't go through that kind of feelings in the big screen. But a Black Mage who shies away from his power because he was a slave or whatever.

Or, y'know, they could add to and improve the plot.

That's exactly what Warcraft did, it changed and improved the plot so it would fit into a movie, because with original lore, it would have to be TV series. And it didn't pay off...

I said add, not change. I also said "improve". Their changes did nothing to improve things. If anything, it took away some of the intrigue and complexity.

Well, since WoW has one of the most complex lore ever, it's imposibble to capture it in a movie, as I said, it would have to be TV series.

The first Hitman film? That was shit. Agent 47, from the games, is a bald-born clone made for the one and only purpose of being a killing machine, but in the films he's just a trained assassin, who shaves his head.

Sarah Risley the movie stink

Sarah Risley The 2007 Hitman with Timothy Olyphant has some cool moments, but it could’ve been any other movie with an assassin. The newest one missed the mark so hard I’m amazed it even got made. Both of the movies made Agent 47 an action star, which is literally the complete opposite of his purpose.

mike lyles I get mad that people actually liked it. You don't even need to see the movie, to know it sucks. How can something as cool as assassins creed look so boring. The color pallets, the acting, the rating, the MUSIC it looks so shit.

i wanted to fall asleep, it was sooo dull

Yeah, they spent way too much time in present day, more than they did in the past.

Yea it was definitely ok

Not really... the sets looked like the attractions in a low rent theme park, the effects were laughable and the bad action with cheap techno music (because, you know, video games are apparently all about techno music) didn't really work. At least the second one tried to be a real movie with location shoots and an epic musical score, as an adventure movie should have.

They were bad, Jolie looked the part. But her acting and the writing where atrocious.

If you like the Warcraft lore just make sure you never play WoW. Because they really decide to deep 6 the story to keep releasing new expansions.

Warcraft - one of the greatest and richest story in video game history...

Yep, just a slip of the tongue. I was like "Man, I really don't remember this movie well", this makes more sense.

Yup, you’re super right

Philly Prince The source material hardly has anything there for a story

I'm fine if the movie has the core feeling of the games, not being a direct copy of the source material, as long as they make a good story.

"The source material hardly has anything there for a story" *cough* Warcraft, one of the biggest video game lore ever *cough*

no

Илья Шигин You really should see it. Made my depression fuelled Sunday once a TON better.

I have actually seen it, twice. The internet helps me forget it. Street Fighter was as cheesy, but more worth the effort to remember.

AND WARCRAFT DAMNIT
