Shut up, Miayamoto, you know you loved that movie

The JCVD Street Fighter movie.

Mortal Kombat

I wish they had in turn made a Mario game based off the movie. Would have been cool.

The movie was garbage but I liked it for what it was.

I liked the Goombas.

Mortal Kombat the best video game movie. Street Fighter had Raul Julias as Bison though.

Raul Julia's best role was Gomez Addams though.

what the fuck was wrong with that movie
everything just seems so off, like how did it even get greenlit
remember that pink flesh shit that kept growing everywhere? seriously, what the fuck

Warcraft

Prove me wrong faggots.

In the Nintendo Power 20th anniversary retrospective issue, as they chronicled the games and other related releases over the magazine's life span, the film's release was listed. The issue stated that despite the film's poor quality, the fact that it was made shows how much the game series had impacted popular culture.[20]

Hoskins spoke critically of Super Mario Bros., saying that it was "the worst thing I ever did" and that "the whole experience was a nightmare" in a 2007 interview with The Guardian.[21] In another interview with The Guardian, Hoskins was asked, "What is the worst job you've done," "What has been your biggest disappointment," and "If you could edit your past, what would you change?" His answer to all three was Super Mario Bros.[22]

Leguizamo also admitted in 2007 that he, too, disliked his role as Luigi in the film, and expressed dissatisfaction with the film's direction. He said in his biography that perhaps the reason why the film turned out the way it did was that the studio wanted a more family friendly film while the directors wanted it to be more adult-like. He also said that both he and Bob Hoskins did not enjoy working on the film, frequently getting drunk to go through it, knowing that it would turn out bad.[23] Despite this, Leguizamo has since stated that he has developed a somewhat more positive outlook of the film.

Hopper was also disparaging of the production, "It was a nightmare, very honestly, that movie. It was a husband and wife directing team who were both control freaks and wouldn't talk before they made decisions. Anyway, I was supposed to go down there for five weeks, and I was there for 17. It was so over budget."[24]

>Mortal Kombat

Treated like it's own thing, I think Silent Hill comes closest to capturing the atmosphere of the games on the big screen.

Although the Phoenix Wright movie probably is the most accurate.

Want a different Mario movie?
Peach-Hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!

I can't even hate the Mario movie, it's so surreal I can't help but enjoy it

The Silent Hill movie wasn't terrible.

Also screw you guys, Mario Bros is a fun flick.

Prince of Persia was okay.

This

Advent Children and Kingsglaive were pretty fun and far from being bad movies.

I don't understand where there was so much dislike for it, I remember really enjoying it.

The Silent Hill movie (first, lets not even mention the sequel) is by far the best out of any videogame movie.

The Mario Brother movie I have in my heart due to nostalgia, and I loved the really "shit got dark" theme. The fungus/mushrooms being an extension of the king, things being kind of cyberpunky with the technology, and all the 80s doom and gloom grit in this "Dying Dinosaur Alternate-World" really was awesome.

I love parallel worlds/universes, so yes, I really enjoyed the Mario Brothers movie, even though it was silly as fuck.

That and Gemma Arterton is really hot/pretty. She was nice to look at.

Thought Doom was good.

Decent choice. I would say that the biggest thing was the Prince didn't have enough levity to him. I love Gyllenhaal, but overall he's not really smarmy-witty-leading role material. He'd work well with Warrior Within, being all dark and gloomy.

Well yeah but he made Bison great. He's like half the movie.

You posted it

I'm pretty sure that Shiggy meant that since the movie tried to translate a bunch of stuff literally into reality (Ok Yoshi is a dinosaur let's put a straight fucking dinosaur in it) the ideas and designs start to fall apart because there are so many compromises or explanations need to explain why dinosaurs and humans coexist or how Mario can jump so high or why they are even plumbers/italians. This is something that would never be a problem in a cartoon or if they just restricted the ideas more figuratively.

Pretty far from being good movies too.

GOOM GOOM AKALAKA GOOMBA!

open the door

I feel like taking a bunch of potential vg cutscenes in the same production house as the one that makes the games is pretty much cheating. Of course you're going to win in the department of: "fits in the universe, consistent with what the IP consists of etc."

Technically they still count? But I think everyone is just interested to how some kind of Live Action thing can be done with a very misunderstood set of IPs that actors and media people have no clue about.

well, yeah, if you want to get all logical about it

This is the only right answer to OP's question.

Apparently its very first incarnation wasn't even supposed to be a kids movie, or even Mario for that matter. The producer literally checked on the movie at the last minute and told the director this is supposed to be a kids movie. He quit.

loved Mortal Kombat

and Street Fighter was enjoyable enough

This.

>The Silent Hill movie wasn't terrible.
Oh, it was.
As a movie, and as a SH product.

I thought the Resident Evil movie was ok. It's been a while though. And I'm in love with Milla Jovovich.

>picking anyone but danny devito to play mario

this one change would have saved the entire movie

This is song is about a nuclear apocalypse

If you could make any game into a Uwe Bolle movie what would it be?

Metal Gear Solid

I don't see how SH failed as a movie. I thought it was pretty decent, and I have impeccable taste.

More seriously, I don't think it has any real flaws that detract from the experience that don't come from "Why is that different from the games?" In particular, I like that unlike most video game movies, it doesn't try and cover the quality of the film with a layer of ham and camp that Mortal Kombat, Prince of Persia, Resident Evil all do, which is rare.

Parappa The Rapper

Hitman was pretty good
Max Payne was ok

Titan Fall. It already has zero plot, so the sky's the limit. And can you imagine what he'd do with the CGI for the Titans? God damn it'd be Ragnaschlock.

One point of legitimate honest praise I have for that movie.

The costume work is incredible. There are so many great looking outfits and costumes in that film.

first was okay, as a sort of "this movie is a side story that happened in the same universe as the games"
thing

then the rest of the movies became the "directors wife adventures, part 1 to 6"

>danny devito
>john leguizamo
>early 90's
>literally any script

would have been fucking gold. Instead Devito wanted to fucking Junior: a movie about the fucking governator getting pregnant.

i've actually grown to like this movie a lot. i like it's plain weirdness and i agree with shiggy. is pretty spot on. today id compare it with Man of Steel. MoS was a fuck awesome sci-fi movie, but an absolute dog shit superman movie. every bad thing in it, every contrivance could be boiled down to "because superman". just like this can be boiled down to "because Super Mario Bros."

Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV

Dead Rising: Watchtower

mortal kombat is a perfect video game adaptation.

>game is about a colorful cast of characters fighting each other
>movie is about a colorful cast of characters fighting each other

>all characters are on point, with maybe the exception of sub zero

Also, the game itself is camp and hammy as fuck, so of course so should the movie be camp and hammy.

hey didn't nintendo announce a live action zelda netflix series a year or two ago or am I making that up

DOA was stupid but fun. Lots of eye candy too.

I think it was a hoax.

That or the deal fell through.

It was just a rumor that spiraled out of control iirc. The only notable thing to come out of that whole situation was that Aaron Diaz faggot begging the netflix twitter account to let him write for the show.

I'm not saying that it's not a good fit, but what I am saying is that the camp and ham elevates what is ultimately a pretty shit narrative. SH does a decent job of being a movie without the inherent fun of camp that most vidya movies get away with.

mario bros was good shit.

Agreed. Doa was better than it had any right to be. My only complaint is they turned Ryu into a huge pussy.

The fact that that didn't really bother me speaks volumes

You all a fucktards

Killing Floor

Yes. That one.

Daily reminder that the House of the Dead film put footage from the game itself in the middle of a fight scene.

This.

Also, the Mario movie was terrible but somehow I keep wanting to re-watch it. It's like I can't actually believe it even exists, and I have to see it to believe it, and then I still am not convinced.
