Best Video Game to Movie Transition

Mortal Kombat 1 managed to capture the game's essence as well as provide a story for non MK players. The music rocked, the story was simple and the settings were incredible. To throw into the equation, there were even a few moments of fan-service: Scorpion's "GET OVER HERE!" and the appearance of one of the secret characters of MK1.

Flawless victory.

Everyone's been saying Silent Hill, but honestly apart from capturing the spirit of the game with the visuals and music, it was a bad movie. It managed to grab all the good elements of Silent Hill but it didn't translate well enough onto the big screen. Sorry guys.

Uwe Boll's butchering of films are horrendous. Alone in the Dark and Bloodrayne initially come to mind. Alone in the Dark especially since it was one of the first horror games I've ever played ;_;

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Tomb Raider. I thought TR sucked anyway, but many of my friends who were TR enthusiasts found it great. Opinions?

DOA sux baLLz. Of course I gotta hold my judgement until I see the movie, but the trailer was enough to shock me for the whole day (I was watching Fearless when I saw the trailer).

Next up for game-to-movie conversions is Peter Jackson's Halo. Game movie conversions will always happen as long as there is popularity and the chance for money.


(Oh, and Mario gets a good mention for being too camp, that it's entertaining.)
