Worse Video Game Movies Ever!!

My list of the worst offenders!
5. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
Photobucket
The first one was fine. Done very nicely. But when this one came out...dear jesus. Damn near every actor was recast, the dialog sucked, and the final fight scene when they turn into dragons. Lets just hope that if the 3rd one ever gets made, they put more time, effort, and money into it.

4. Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun Li

I watched this movie for the first time two days ago. I thought it was ok but the casting of this movie was just completely wrong. The only person that fit there role was Micheal Clarke Duncun.

3. Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Everyone told me this movie would suck. I said no it can't its Resident Evil, the writers are going to learn from the first one and build on it. No. they didn not do that. They turned Nemesis into a little bitch! How the hell are you going to do that? Then they gave Alice superpowers. WTF?! Resident Evil isn't about superpowers and being able to jump super high! Just because Weskert does it, doesn't mean that other characters should do it. Some say the 3rd one was horrible, actually the 3rd one was waaaaaay better then the second! The 1st one 7/10 the 2nd 3/10 and the 3rd one 6/10

2. SuperMario Bros

What can I say? This movie was just done completely wrong. I mean...did the writers of this even hear about the game called super mario?

1. House of the Dead
Photobucket
One big pile of crap-tastic shit! This was possibley the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. At first there a bunch of ugly ass college students going to a rave or whatever the next, there gun slinging badasses! Graphics horrible, casting horrible, acting horrible, script horrible. If you liked it, more power to you. I hated it!

What you guys think?

i agree. they need to remake the resident evil franchise more like the first video game.i hear they plan on doing just that, called resident evil begins.

and they need to keep the action down in the resident evil remake and make it creepy like the rooms in the first game.they need the hunters,the plant and other experiments,and a tyrant experiment that does not speak.
1chris2 - 11/18/2009, 12:52 PM
I think they should make a new Maro Movie.

They should start it off in Live action, you see shadows of Mario and Luigi.Then they land into the Mushroom Kingdom and help Princess Peach.They could use animation for when they go into the Mushroom kingdom and use the same voice actors as in the games.

You know I kinda like the super mario bros. movie. It's terrible but I liked it anyway.
thwhtGuardian - 11/18/2009, 2:06 PM
I can't lie, as much as it deviated from the video game, Super Mario Bros. is a guilty pleasure movie of mine. John Leguizamo is the man!
Bohemiben - 11/18/2009, 2:12 PM
I LOVED SUPER MARIO BROS... as a action/kid movie... not as a movie based on a game lol it was not source strong at all!
ManOfIron - 11/18/2009, 2:31 PM
not only was the acting horrible in street fighter the film feels half finished.
in the scene where bison is using one of his subordinates as a punching bag, you can clearly see the wires that are keeping her balanced.
although it does have a good ending that could lead to a sequel i pray that the studios will realize what a piece of crap it was and just wait a few years for someone to actually manage to stay faithful to the story and the characters.
as for mortal kombat, i had heard a few months ago that the franchise would be rebooted. or updated. or remade. call it what you like i just know that mortal kombat has a load of potential in hollywood given the chance. just watch the first movie.

I don't think you can limit this to just five, too many shitty game movies out there; Doom, Street Fighter (Van Damme) Double Dragon, Tomb Raider, Bloodrayne, Dead or Alive, and Max Payne.

I think that's all.
Stumblin - 11/18/2009, 3:10 PM
Super Mario Bros. = AWESOME lol.
SlaughterHouse - 11/18/2009, 3:15 PM
Two words, MAX PAYNE! I know you're probably thinking "the worst movies based on games". But as a gamer the only game I thought no, scratch that, KNEW would make a good movie was Max Payne. I saw the movie for the first time a few days ago, and oh man, anyone who played Max Payne and saw the film knows exactly the train wreck I'm describing. Resident Evil still sucked pretty bad though.
hgmE - 11/18/2009, 3:27 PM
Oh come on, you gotta love the Mario movie! It had Dennis Hopper! I know it is a bad movie, but it will always hold a special place in my heart.
THEHAWK - 11/18/2009, 3:37 PM
Must I only pick 5? I think there are only 2 that are even passable as "decent" movies: The first Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat. I'm being generous on those two. I think Prince of Persia has potential, but we'll have to see on that one.
ecksmanfan - 11/18/2009, 5:39 PM
max payne was royal shit indeed...as was van damme's street fighter
Anil Rickly - 11/18/2009, 8:05 PM
The top three worst should be anything Uwe Boll has done. It's no surprise that his shitty flick is at number one on Revenge's list, but one should also make room for BloodRayne, Alone in the Dark, Postal, BloodRayne2 and then start going down the list of Mario Bros., Street Fighter, Doom, Mortal Kombat2, Dead or Alive etc. etc.


Silent Hill was good.

With SUPER MARIO BROS., I give the filmmakers a lot of credit for trying. There weren't other VG-movies being made at the time, and there's very little in the games that translate to live-action film anyway, so it was going to be kind of a shot in the dark no matter what they did.
Jordacar - 11/18/2009, 10:45 PM
THE BEST part of House of the Dead was seeing Erika durance topless

thedarkknight666 - 11/19/2009, 2:04 AM
Mmmm... Erica Durance topless...

google it
thedarkknight666 - 11/19/2009, 6:38 AM
I agree with everything you said except Resident Evil. I liked it! You kinda called yourself out too. You said that Resident Evil wasn't about super powers, but then you said, "Just because Wesker does it, doesn't mean that other characters should do it". Then it is about super powers. I mean that's what Umbrella was all about. Making humanity better, they weren't "trying" to make zombies
Jimdlux - 11/19/2009, 8:23 AM
And another thing about Resident Evil, who in the bloody hell is Alice? I don't mean tell me who she is, I'm asking what does she have to do with the GAMES? It's not like Resident Evil doesn't have it's share of strong female leads *cough cough* Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield *cough cough*
hgmE - 11/19/2009, 8:42 AM
Only game movie that's worth a shit in my opinion is Silent Hill, and even that was mediocre.
Stumblin - 11/19/2009, 11:02 AM
This list needs to be expanded to 10, or 15. Stumblin knows whats up. The Bloodrayne movies, even though Loken shows her boobies, the first Street Fighter, Double Dragon. Should have had Resident Evil: Extinction instead of Nemes...er Apocalypse.
Tobuttica - 11/19/2009, 11:16 AM
Maxpayne was crap.
SHHH - 11/19/2009, 12:08 PM
Max Payne the potential to be a good movie but they made the mistake of having Mark play Max that messed the movie up.
X - 11/19/2009, 1:25 PM
I think we can all agree that Alone in the Dark is the worst vidya based movie ever.


MovieTheaterLad - 11/19/2009, 1:27 PM
Word Tobuttica.
Stumblin - 11/19/2009, 2:40 PM
uwe boll movies should be 1-5, anything else is a crime against his amazing work at being so very bad. my vision still hasn't returned since bloodrayne 2 disgraced my tv.
lvlheaded - 11/19/2009, 6:05 PM
Don't forget House of the Dead 2. That was even worse than the first one. One of the worst I've seen recently was Hitman. They used stock footage from the Dark Angel tv show. At least all of the other movies were 100% original crap.
Tobuttica - 11/20/2009, 1:17 AM
Oh and I just thought of Wing Commander with Freddie Prinze Jr and ...uh...the dude that played Shaggy. Mathew Lillard. Hopefully Prince of Persia will be at least watchable. I have high hopes for that movie.
Tobuttica - 11/20/2009, 1:21 AM
@X - did you really think marky mark was the worst part of maxpayne? I didn't think it was all that bad casting. Now removing the gunfights, the slo-mo john woo action, and noir style internal narration on the other hand....

OOH! They removed half the game's plot, changed the half they kept, and COMPLETELY altered the effects of valkyre (street drug in the game, super soldier serum in the movie?)

poor, poor Max.
hgmE - 11/20/2009, 9:26 AM
These ain't the worst by a long shot lol!! ; D
LEEE777 - 11/20/2009, 11:16 AM
i loved wing commander
thedarkknight666 - 11/20/2009, 12:19 PM
I'd rather see a list of the best 5 videogame movies. if there is a best 5 lol
lvlheaded - 11/20/2009, 12:45 PM
@lvlheaded - I accept your challenge, good sir, expect to see a list on Monday.
hgmE - 11/20/2009, 4:33 PM
I agree with Stumblin. The only one that even managed to be watchable for me was Silent Hill..the rest can suck a [frick].
RorMachine - 11/20/2009, 8:15 PM
Mortal Kombat! haha..

Why did they kill off Johnny Cage????
Imran - 11/21/2009, 6:21 AM
ill tell you who could make a mario movie work. tim burton.
1chris2 - 11/21/2009, 6:54 AM
your forgeting one. BLOODRAYNE!! TERRIBLE!!
hannay07 - 11/21/2009, 7:01 PM
I forgot to add one more to the shit list, Hitman.
Stumblin - 11/21/2009, 9:17 PM
You mean Shitman* lol
Imran - 11/22/2009, 10:10 AM
didnt read all the comments but whats so wrong with max payne i liked it and it had good acting also the resident evil movies are awesome ya they got a little carried away in the 3rd i hated the super powered fire shit and i hope they dont have the clones in the next one that was just stupid also the resident evil games are about a few characters but theyre not the only people to go through that in the resident evil universe the movies just followed a different character that was caught up in it and they did have jill valentine and claire redfield there so quit bitchin.....and did someone say nemesis was a little bitch in the movie no he was killin mo fo's left and right
SabretoothTiger - 11/23/2009, 5:25 AM
@sabretooth - I recommend my article: Why videogame movies can't work: a retraction because I cover both those films from a gamer's perspective.


also: Yes I am a shameless panderer and Yes, I have no shame about it

hgmE - 11/23/2009, 10:17 AM
Sabertooth@
what I said was he turned into a little bitch at the end of the monster. Think about the resident evil game. From beginning to end Nemisis was chasing you screaming Stars. And you had to fight him off each time or run like hell. Then at the end you had to fight him again he didn't have a second thought and decide to help you at the beginning his character was spot on they [frick]ed it up at the end. Resident Evil 2 movie was the worst of them all. and with the story of alice. I can understand that they're are different characters and they can use different characters but:
Resident evil:
Jill
Chris
Weskert
Berry

Resident Evil 2
Claire
Leon
Sherry
Ada

Resident Evil 3
Jill
Carlos

Resident Evil 4
Leon
Ada
Ashley

Resident Evil 5
Chris
Sheva

My point is not one character is continously used through each movie! If they used alice in the first one and we didn't see her again until the 3rd one that would be fine with me. No put her in every single movie
