DylanC Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Ok, they get a bad rap but what are some of your favourite video game to movie adaptations? In my opinion, it's easily the original Silent Hill movie. I genuinely liked Christophe Gans' adaptation of Silent Hill to the silver screen. Sure, it had some uneven writing here and there, but the atmosphere, audio and visual effects are all on-point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joant73 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Man this is tough as most of them have been truely terrible, Max Payne and Assassins Creed stand out to me as among the worst. As for good ones, the Doom movie with the Rock was enjoyable in its own way, also the animated Final Fantasy film back in the day was awesome, and the animation quality was way ahead of its time.

Aye, it's not the highest bar tbh, lol. Doom was ok, but not seen the Final Fantasy animated movie. After giving it more thought, Wreck It Ralph is arguably the best video game movie, though it's not based solely on one game. Thanks for commenting!

Joant73 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Wreck it Ralph is a good call, I didn't really consider it but a good movie for sure. DylanC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Mortal Kombat from 1995. It has some amazing fights and the special effects are still incredible. But do not bother with the second movie. It's terrible. Crazycrab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theirs been a few in fact, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016), Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005) which is pretty good. I think you probably mean the first one, Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within (2001). I'm with you on the aminations, visuals and how technically impressive it was but it was SO BORING. I remember the silly mock outtakes on than I remembered the film! 56 minutes ago, Candy Stick said: Mortal Kombat from 1995. It has some amazing fights and the special effects are still incredible. But do not bother with the second movie. It's terrible. Mortal Kombat (1995) was good, it's got some problems but it's still certainly up there as one of the best game to movie adaptations. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) is so cheap and incompetent in nearly every aspect that it's quite a lot to watch! As for good Game to Movie Adaptations... I would say Wreck it Ralph but it's not really based on a game. I've heard good things about Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) but I've not seen it myself. So aside from the aforementioned Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Mortal Kombat... I would say DOOM but to honest but I think it's really just that really cool First person sequence, the rest of film is mediocre at best. It's hard to think of any truly great video game movies. For good Game adaptations, almost all the good stuff is in TV/Streaming series. The Witcher (although it's based on the books rather than the games) Castlevainia, there's some decent Sonic series' and then there's Arcane League of legends which the hands down the best video game adaptation ever. Movies have quite caught up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I loved that game mission impossible via mobile phone after watching it's movie. I also played the men on black game after watching the legendary movie that starred 'Will Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 You can't take anything away from Mortal Kombat. It's been pushed beyond possibilities and it's still delivering till date. With MK 11 as my favorite of the fighting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Both the movie version of MK and the Game version are well performed. The movie pushed me hard to go for the game, up to this day, I never regretted playing the game. One of the best iconic movie based video game.

Head_Hunter Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 DMC is a perfect match for me. The game's story is amazing, the gameplay is amazing too, I learned to play the game after watching it's movie, which is thrilling indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Not a movie but a TV show, I think The Witcher is the best screen adaptation of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, that doesn't count. Both the video games and the TV show are based on the same series of books. Some of the aesthetic interpretations from the game inspired the look of the show, but that's about as far as it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The Witcher show is more influenced by the game than the books. Even the characters on the show are made to look like the game characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head_Hunter Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 A.C is one of them that really enjoyed both in-game and in movie. But I first played the game on mobile before learning that, it has a movie episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
