You missed also Streat Fighter.... ok... dot talk about this film
But how could you miss Lara Croft, Tomb Rider ? Cmon!

GOOD ones are all I was counting, guys. We know there's an endless parade of fail. Look at those Rotten Tomato scores. Final Fantasy: Spirits Within scored the highest. That's cheating, though since it wasn't actually based on a game. Ditto with Advent Children, but I'd be willing to grant that one on technicality. That movie was awesome.

There is a glimmer of hope for World of Warcraft because the lore is actually quite good. However, no one but gamers care, and even if 20 million WoW current and former players went with 1 or 2 friends, it would still not be a success.

The reason they don't do good is because most games are so vast you can't pact a good movie into 1-2 hours.

I know it wasn't a video game based movie but if you haven't seen The Last Starfighter then you need to get on that

I've seen it. If we are talking about movies about games, then The Wizard deserves a mention.

What part of WoW lore would make a good movie? Other than the obvious Thrall/Jaina action.

That was so bad, they never made good on the cliffhanger-sequel-coming ending.

I loved Mario and tomb raider and nothing can tell me otherwise!

Unless this somehow bucks the curse of video games to movies, I don't see good things happening here.

I think I can count the good adaptations on one hand, let's see,

1. Mortal Kombat (and the sequel) This is the only one I call unreservedly good
2. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Just for the action effects
3. Resident Evil I'll give the first one to you, it was decent
4. That's it

Mortal Kombat was good. The Tomb Raider movies weren't bad as action flicks, and well Angelina Jolie. The first Resident Evil wasn't too bad. Also, i thought the first Silent Hill movie was pretty good. I haven't played the games though.

If we are including straight to DVD stuff too...Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn was really good.

There are also some AWESOME fan films out there for many games.

Tomb Raider seemed like just an excuse for some Jolie eye candy. Like J-Lo in Anaconda. I think a good movie could be made based on the newest reboot, featuring a younger Lara Croft. Heck, just pasting the cutscenes together is a pretty sweet flick.

I haven't seen the Halo movie or fan made stuff, but I was thinking about major motion pictures that are big budget and in theaters. The fan market is too small to justify them. To attract non-gamers, they have to add stuff or dumb it down, and that pisses off the gamer base, so no one wins.
