    House of the dead wins this hands down.

    They were actually charging people to see it in the movie theaters.

    Alone in the dark comes in a close second.

    Hell, that sounds terrible as a game, let alone a movie.

    Trash.

    I liked this as a kid. Ima get super baked and see how this held up.


    I would say the ff7 movie was pretty cool. Specifically the scene with the big ass dragon thing vs all the characters

    I did this last night. Maybe it was the greenery but it actually wasn't all that bad.
    I kinda took it for what it was, a kids movie based on a platformer with a simple ass story. Although most of it was ridiculous and didn't make much sense, I'll give credit to the writers for having an imagination.

    What are some of the best and worst video game based movies you watched? (note: this applies to live action movies only)

    I think the worst by far is the OG Street Fighter, Jean Claude Van Dam barely speaks English and he was cast as Guile...an American army sergeant. The second Mortal Kombat is up there with the WOATs as well.

    I think Hitman was one of the better video game flicks and I actually kind of liked Prince of Persia too, even though probably the OG Resident Evil is my favorite.
    How can you think mortal kombat is wack but like hitaman and re??? Those were decent at best, mk still holds up today and the fight scenes are still dope as hell

    it also depends if you grew up with the games tho because i have never played silent hill and liked the movie
    but i grew up playing tomb raider and resident evil and was really disappointed in those movies.
    objectively speaking tho i would say silent hill was still much better than tomb raider or resident evil.

    Trash.

    Bob Hoskins (RIP) who played Mario, in an interview about his career.

    What is the worst job you've done?
    Super Mario Brothers.

    What has been your biggest disappointment?
    Super Mario Brothers.

    If you could edit your past, what would you change?
    I wouldn't do Super Mario Brothers.

    ...“The worst thing I ever did? ‘Super Mario Bros.’ It was a fu–in’ nightmare,” Hoskins said. ”It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! Fu–in’ nightmare. Fu–in’ idiots.”


    Roger Ebert on Super Mario...
    “It's just a lot of people running around, all talking at once, in a plot that nobody cares anything about…it's a complete waste of time and money

    super mario bros should have been an animated movie or they could have waited until pixar came around and made it a cgi movie and it would have done well.

    Think I read somewhere Raul was damn near dying when filming movie, don't know how true that is. So he probably did it cause he knew he ain't have much time left,
