Best Video Game to Movie Transition

I cant believe Tomb Raider hasnt been mentioned yet. I thought they were both very enjoyable and well done films. They had the rules and feel of the games and seemed like a good transition. Angelina Jolie did very well in her role as LAra Croft and I was impressed at the results from that awesome film.

Silent Hill was an incredible movie because of how much it followed the game, and how they didnt try to use too much hollywood licence in changing the story. Thouroughly enjoyed it.

Mortal Kombat was very cool, I remember seeing it for the first time and being amazed at how much like the game it was, costumes, characters, fighting stlyes and moves etc. All very good.

Now the worst one in my opinion was Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. It was truly awful. It had no feel of any of the FF games and looked like a blatant trial of stunning visuals. Shame thats all it was. There was no magic, no materia type system, no big weapons, nothing. It plain sucked and was an insult to an otherwise shining series. Poo on Spirits Within.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That would make an awful movie, and would look like a straight to DVD film. It would be pegged as Top Gun II and everyone would hate it.

Sorry man, but making movies about fighter planes based on a game isnt gonna go down with the majority of the public.
