So, in your opinion, what movie(s) based on video games do you think are good movies (or ok at the very least). Also, which games do you think could be pulled off as decent movies (better yet, who do you think should direct them)?

I personally thought the first Silent Hill Movie was pretty good. Admittedly I watched it before I played any of the games but I still think it holds up as it showcases SH themes and characters alongside original material all the while managing to be relatively spooky experience.

personally i liked the Need For Speed movie.
It has its ups and downs, but i genuinely enjoyed the racing scenes.

The first Mortal Kombat movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. It mostly works, in my opinion, as Mortal Kombat itself was basically a low budget supernatural martial arts movie in fighting game format. However the sequel is a complete waste of time and one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Out of all the ones I've seen, there's only been two I enjoyed. Coincidentally, they were the adaptations of two of my favorite video game series, Ace Attorney and Professor Layton

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

I guess I'm the only person on Earth who enjoyed the movie…

That Sonic the Hedgebog OVA from the 90s was decent enough. I haven't watched it refently enough to remember if it was good though.

I didn't even know there was a prof. Layton film! I saw a lil of Ace Attorney (it was pretty good), but how's the Layton film?

I liked it, though I didn't enjoy how it had next to nothing from final fantasy in it.

It's actually really really good. They were going to make a movie series, but the movie didn't do very well so they scraped it, which is a shame because critics liked it. Funnily enough, the thing that I found interesting is that the movie is referenced in the final game, so it's not just standalone.

Would you suggest watching it subbed or dubbed. I usually prefer dubs when available but not if the V.As are bad.

. . . Hitman. [Runs For Cover]

Only video game movie i ever watched besides the Pokemon ones is Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Oh dubbed, definitely dubbed. It's professor Layton, after all.

I just finished watching it today, gotta say it was pretty damn good.

Alright…so. How about concepts? What do you think could be pulled off and who do you think could pull it off

This this this.

Man the second one sucked. When Johnny Cage dies in the first minute, you know you're in for a bumpy ride.

It's not that bad actually…

The first Silent Hill comes to my mind. I think it pulled off surprisingly well; I'm satisfied with the result.

For me it was Doom….I KNOW I DOESN'T HAVE JACKSHIT OF THE CONCEPTS OR SCENES OF THE GAME but I find it very entertaining

I actually think the Resident Evil movies are pretty entertaining

(im hoping they do an ace combat movie, but one can only dream)
