Best Video Game to Movie Transition

Excellent - FF7:AC, Silent Hill
Good/decent - Doom, Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, AvP (bad acting/bad premise/bad continuity - but still enjoyable)
Bad - Bloodrayne, SMB, Street Fighter, FF:TSW, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Tomb Raider 2, Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, Resident Evil Apocalypse...

Halo seems promising, though. They could make an awesome movie out of that. Just as they could have made one from Deus Ex if they'd actually tried.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, and the Japanese one sucked. Well, maybe not as bad as I thought, but here I was hoping for some kickass movie version of PE, and instead I get a trippy uncool story with badly-translated dialogue... oh well.

Most amazing jew boots

If Square had just given it a different title it wouldn't be nearly as hated as it is.

AvP was just laughable in every respect. Saying that it was enjoyable despite everything about it being bad is akin to saying that House of the Dead was a good movie.

Actually... you're right. I put FF:TSW in the wrong spot. It was supposed to go in the good/decent category. Thanks for pointing that out.
I thought AvP was enjoyable because I liked the games (specifically AvP for the Atari Jaguar. Yeah man... haha) and it came around right when I was hoping for some mindless special-effects sci-fi violence fest. By all rights and purposes, it's a bad movie. But I found it enjoyable.

LeHah- I can't believe I forgot about WC! That movie was hella rad. Sure everyone was pissed off cause it didn't have Mark Hamill and a few of our other "beloved actors" from the game series but it fit right into the Wing Commander universe.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
