because it's the only one that doesn't take itself seriously, is actually loyal to the source material and watchable all the way through.

Because it's a solidly choreographed action movie with decent pacing and story that's basically Enter the Dragon with magic

FPBP

You know the rules. Start up a stream of 1 and 2.

Who had the best mask?

thanks for reminding me, torrenting now lol

Reptile

Is Blue Scorpion the most aesthetic ninja?

This. It's just fucking ridiculous and hilarious.

>tfw it actually helped make the lore of the franchise
>tfw without it MK would have a dull plot

Because while it is a terrible movie, it is fairly enjoyable and from a fan perspective, it at least gets the characters/mythos right.

Personally I think Silent Hill is the only competent video game movie.

>and 2.

But why?

WCW was so fucking stupid sometimes, well most times really. I cannot believe Vince struggled for so long against them.

Sean Bean adds literally nothing to it. I want to like it but that just bugs me since they could have just had him do the Silent Hill shit if they wanted a lead actor.

because it was what a movie based on a fighting game should be. a kung fu tournament flick.

This movie aged well. Goro still looks good

Do you not want o feel your animality?

Puppets > CG

I wonder how heavy the Goro suit was.

I know you for five seconds and you're already dissin' me?

SHOKAN'D

Because its a movie that fans of the game can enjoy and someone whos never touched an MK game can still enjoy it.

Every other video game movies fails in one or both of these things.

Practical effects yo

This is why

but it's not because this exists idiots

Close.

Super Mario Bros.: The Movie is the original vidya kino and I don't think it'll ever be topped at this point.
The fact it was so underrated and misunderstood also adds to its high cult status.

>its shitty that makes it arty and cool to like it

Go back to Sup Forums

What are you even talking about?

Good for fapping but shitty movie.

Animal Crossing is the best vidya movie

>westcucks liking terrible movies

hehehe, come back when the west makes ONE good video game movie.

The guy who played Shang Tsung was perfect.

...

Love that movie but it's so fucking cheesy. Annihilation is just plain terrible though.

Also that theme!

youtube.com/watch?v=EAwWPadFsOA

someone fucking stream it

This is where you fall down.

Where do you get these guys?

resident evil was good
silent hill was good

>he honestly considers western video game movies "the best"

top kek

hay stupid fuck i like both fuck you us vs them shit you fuck

>I cannot believe Vince struggled for so long against them.

Because what Vince was dying could be just as bad if not worse at times, brah.

>being this effing shitty

Because it's so cheesy that it's hilarious. Keep in mind that it's just a pile of shit with sprinkles next to regular piles of shit. It's by no means actually good.

>dying

*doing

>silent hill was good

Every video game movie thread.

its funny that the creators of MK hated this theme with a passion

the reptile fight is so fucking badass. The music is bangin and its a quick fight but they kick the shit out of each other.

It was.

Maybe when the West finally makes a good video game movie.

There are some factors that helped with its popularity

>manage to come out when MK brand was still hot and relevant
>most of the characters looked like their game counterparts (besides Jax cameo)
>the soundtrack

fuck off idiots

I think the reason Silent Hill works so well is because it isn't really out of place in the horror genre. I mean the shit that happens isn't so out there compared to the rest.

Other video game movies have the problem that they'll be compared to mainstream action films, or martial arts films, or monster movies etc. Horror has always been hit and miss.

Someone link to a stream already, its friday night I don't have anything to do.

Wait, this is from the movie? I thought it'd been in the games at some point.

Anyway, I fucking love it. I was always disappointed that the actual music in the games never went in this same direction. I'd like MK more if it had some sweet themes.

This movie wasn't really that good though. I enjoyed it as a fan of the games, but it wasn't really that good either.

But I did love the end, where they formed Queen Sheba, had her fight Jubileus in an extended fight, and then had her fire that giant gun. That was unexpected and very cool. I would've preferred that to the final boss of the actual game, which was already amazing imo.

>tfw never getting an MK3 movie

I know, the in-game cinematics were much better than the movie. The Bayonetta movie would have really profited from CGI instead of 2d animation.

It's a good popcorn flick. Plus it isn't a requirement to have played the games in order to fully enjoy it. Also, the soundtrack was amazing, still listen to it to this day.

I think you're thinking of the MKIII arcade cabinet?

youtube.com/watch?v=Ny-Fvyx9IXY

I don't think it was ever featured in any MK game, probably because of how cheesy it is. Ironically enough, the MK devs couldn't help but make cheesy games all the way through MK:Armageddon.

It actually stays true enough to the premise, story, and setting of the game it's from, it isn't full of itself, the fights were pretty good, the music was great, and it actually borrowed elements from the game series that weren't in the first game to make the story more cohesive instead of a mess.

Ia the warcraft movie good?

Scott Pilgrim vs The World.

Mortal Kombat > Tekken >>> Tomb Raider > shit >>>>> everything else

Didn't they also change some of the characters? I didn't like that. Jeanne in the movie wasn't brainwashed, right? And Luka in the movie was more serious, which I didn't care for, since I loved how flirtatious he was with Bayonetta in the game. And he was a bit more of a bro in the game as well from what I remember. And Enzo was straight up kind of a dick in the movie, whereas in the game, he's kind of a pathetic loser who you love for being so pathetic.

I think I'd only played the PC ports of it.

MK is still cheesy as fuck. It runs on cheese, just a different sort of cheese that most people would imagine.

STREAM WHERE

It's fun, had good fights, the soundtrack was god-tier and it was faithful to the games

REPTILE

Fuck no

its good and kino, thats why.
they got raiden down pat as that raspy asshole you want to smack in the face all the time.

maybe I should finally watch this movie

Technically not a video game movie but still pretty much the best video game movie ever made. I keep on meaning to give it another rewatch, it's been awhile.

You really should user

Deception kicked Deadly Alliance's ass despite its B lister roster. Its like West Coast Avengers beating the regular Avengers

what is a good place to stream movies?

You won't regret it.
>tfw they actually had Nintendo music in the game after showing Miyamoto

Mortal Kombat had the best intros too
Armageddon was a pretty meh game but this got me pretty hyped

>The fact it was so underrated and misunderstood also adds to its high cult status.

It's a hilarious movie. I saw it when I was a kid and my mother bought it for me. The first time, I was disappointed that it wasn't like the games at all but also excited because there is a lot of cool action parts and cool gadgets. It's also hilarious.

I liked Raiden's portrayal but I don't see the praise behind it.

You can tell they were getting better and better over time and it all led to MK9's story mode. Even DC vs MK helped them figure out the movie vidya style

A-am I only one who likes Prince of Persia movie?

Isn't it highly compliant to the lore?
I can't diss the director, he knows his shit. Plus his dad was the greatest man there ever lived.

isnt that Sup Forums?

I just saw Assassins Creed yesterday. It was bland as fuck. How do you manage to make Jeremy Irons uninteresting?

I just couldn't sit through this movie. I've tried several times, but the movie is just so obnoxious.

>that Zelda's lullaby cover that plays during Scott's dream

It's compliant to the WoW retcon of Warcraft lore and even then it's got issues with the space goats

The only good scene in this movie is the vegan fight.

Street Fighter movie is GOAT

one of the gayest movies I've ever seen

I remember a lot of anons complaining about lore and Duncan Jones mentioning he simplified the lore for mainstreams audiences. I thought it was close enough to the source material, so I didn't have a problem with it.

its cause he did the acting well and the voice is what he honestly should sound like with all the asshole shit he does all the damn time.

I guess you could say it's forgotten
I liked it too

Also, Jeanne was flat as a board

You can tell Chris Lambert is having fun being a snarky dickish mentor figure

I liked shujinko, and the plot of deception. Shame NRS is trying to scrub him from the games.

I enjoyed the entire film immensely, but I'm a huge Edgar Wright fan.
