Top 3 Bad Film Adaptations

"Releasing on September 14th of this year is the 5th installment of Paul W. S. Anderson’s Resident Evil film series. While received by mixed critical reviews and a mixed audience, the series has pulled in enough of a fan base to earn the latest entry in the saga $26.6 million on its opening weekend. Though I don’t find myself particularly intrigued by the Resident Evil film series, I can understand why it’s been able to pull in a crowd as well as it does. Rather than simply transferring the game script into film, the movies adapt their own story and characters to a mythos that already exists, allowing for some creative liberties that tweak things about the game that would not translate well onto the big screen."

If you sir are telling me there are no other film-game adaptations WORSE than Mortal Kombat, I am afraid I'm going to have to ask you to step outside.

Kurylo3d4366d ago (Edited 4366d ago )

the first mortal kombat was the best game to film adaptation ever. It was actually a good film. Christopher Lambert is the shit.

If this guy is not pleased with the first mortal kombat film, then what on earth can he ask for? The actors looked like the characters, the characters had their personalities.. it tried to take itself seriously.

The second film was garbage money grab that sucked ass, but still... were talkn about the first one which was an all around entertaining film.

Solid_Snake374366d ago

What is he talking about, the first MK film was a beast. Too Epic for its time. Then Annihilation came out...

DivineAssault 4366d ago

It was "OK" not terrible but not awesome either.. I know mario & DOA were the worst ive seen

Kurylo3d4365d ago

when u say "ok" do u mean "ok" as a game to film adaptation.. or an "ok" story.

Cause the game has an "ok" story" And it was faithful to it. It was also stylized and felt serious...(the first one)

So in the regard to game to film it was incredable. Not oscar winning, but good acting all around.

NukaCola4362d ago

Anything Uwe Boll always trumps any list that could be made. That guy is the definition of piss poor game to film adaptations.

Also MK one was good. MK:A and the TV show were an abomination though.

What? mortal kombat was by far one of the best game based movies hell id see smb which was way worse.(note even though it's worse i still like smb the movie)

StayStatic4367d ago

Mortal Kombat was good lol & Resdient Evil is fun to watch as an action movie if you find the games boring.

awi59514367d ago

Fail street fighter and Mario brothers are far worse than mortal combat movies. Mortal combat movies made money and there was more than one.

dafegamer4367d ago

huh? Mortal Kombat was one of the best Movie adaption ever
It only lacks the Gore,but everything else was perfect

Kurylo3d4366d ago

at least we had fatalities... guy frozen and shattering, 2 versions of the pit, scorpion dieing lol, impaling sub zero, some snapped necks here and there, shang tsung soul steal...

I mean even though the fatalities were extravagant gore, it got the point across.. people were dieing horrendously.

dafegamer4366d ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga12d ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj12d ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia13d ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

TGG_overlord12d ago

GotGame81812d ago

All games coming to PlayStation
Next Xbox will have steam
Next Xbox niche and only for “gamers who want it” (it’s a really powerful pc or a steam deck type portable, or both)
