Favorite movie from a Video Game?

Just what it said in the thread title, which one is the best? The above three are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, I am sure there are others, and if so and the movie made from it is the best, make sure to post it.

My pick to come later.......

Bah, forgot that only three options will show up. Wing Commander was option number 4.

Super Mario Bros. Nothing can own it's campiness.

Mortal Kombat. Though SMB was pretty funny.

There's also Tomb Raider, House of the Dead, and Resident Evil.

Resident Evil was okay, i dont think it was as good as it could of been. I think Part 2 is gonna be so much better >_> but thats just me

... with the choices there, that would probably have to be the best one there >/ ... by default.

Resident Evil was pretty cool but I liked the first MK movie best. Sure the fight scenes blew (as did Toro) but the set-up and the sets were very cool.

Those above?

My favourites are the intro from Imperium Galactica 2 with the huge space battle and the intro of Battlefield 1942.

Edit: The movies from X-wing Alliance were great also!

Resident Evil for me. Have you heard the Director's Commentary on the DVD? Fucking classic stuff! Michelle Rodriguez talking about Half-Life and Milla Jovovich(sp?) gleefully pointing out "twat shot!" when her sacred nether regions are in full view.

So very bad in the funny way. Though how many movies show the evil guards locker room? Resident Evil is my favorite though.

I've seen only Tomb Raider, so I'll have to go with that one, but I also saw Wing Commander, which wasn't in your poll, so that one gets my vote.

MARIO BROTHERS!

*ducks massive fusillade*

Mortal Kombat, really. It was done so perfectly. Too bad the sequal was so lame.

Yeah, I liked that one too. Must mention again that I can only get three options in the poll. So please keep bringing up one's I forgot or couldn't get in the poll.

Meh, it's hard. I'm voting for Resident Evil, and Milla is quite lovely. But Tomb Raider has Angelina Jolie, who is a vision of beauty. Although on second though, Milla looks really good too....*snaps back to reality* Wait, sorry, we're not going by looks....yep Resident Evil.

Also, one of the things I really liked about RE is how, at least for me (haven't played the games) nothing made any sense at first. But as the movie progressed, things were all tied in, and then it's like "Ahh, I get it now."

Mortal Kombat, because it was generally well acted and cool. Also kickass dance/metal soundtrack, with zero signal by fear factory in the Johnny Cage/Scorpion fight.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2003-05-20 03:31pm

Actually, I rather liked Street Fighter. That movie was so bad it was kinda good, in a twisted sort of way. But I tend to be kinda forgiving towards any movie that has gatling guns in it so...

Mortal Kombat all the way. About the sequel-that piss-poor excuse for a movie would be much, much worse than Highlander II if there were such a thing as Highlander II.

Just imagine if you combined those two movies.

Ahh, with a weapon that powerful, we could rule the world....

"Exactly."

MORTAL KOMBAT! *room breaks into techno music and kung-fu battles*

While Resident evil had the feel and look of the game the plot was sadly lacking. Milla looked superd as ever but it occured to be when i was watching it i noticed Michelle Rodriguez was cross eyed. Also the CGI for the Licker/Ripper thing was fucking awful.

Mortal Kombat had the exact feel and plot, generally, of the movie and it had better fight sequences. and the CGI, though in use more, wasn't as painful. Also the twist at the end wasn't expected unlike the RE twist.

Durandal · Post by **Durandal** » 2003-05-20 07:06pm

Out of the choices given, definitely Mortal Kombat. It was a very fun movie. I can still sit down, watch it and laugh at Johnny Cage.
