Have we actually had a live action videogame adaptation be anything other than shit yet? I think the industry is batting .000

Id give the passing grade to Resident Evil 1, Mortal Kombat 1 (same guy directed both), and a full recommendation to Silent Hill.

Thats it i believe...

 

I wouldn't give a passing grade to any of them, especially Mortal Kombat. I suppose one could like it in a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 sort of way, but you still need some good booze and lots of obnoxious pessimists.

 

I don't know...Mortal Kombat movie was exactly like the game in my mind. It had a few decent fights too and was very well directed for the time(felt hip and modern oposed to street fighter which was quite dated). I don't think they could have made that material any better.

Plust the Mortal Kombat theme music kicked ass :)

 

I think the problem was the source material itself. I think these movies don't work because the priorities of video games are not necessarily the priorities of movies, and shoving both together tends to give the worst of both worlds instead of the best.

@Gnizmo-I don't remember her being topless at all during that flick, let alone a few minutes. It must not have been anything worthwhile because I've never done certain things to myself during Resident Evil. Also, yeah I probably expect too much out of these movies, but regardless I think they all stink.
