Alright, so we all know that Hollywood has developed an appetite for turning video games into movies. So, here we go, what's your favorite?

if movie, I'd say either tomb raider or resident evil, game i'd say mario or streetfighter.

street fighter was the best game that turned movie because its pretty much teh same as mortal kombat and it just kept me interested. the fighting and acrobatics stuff is just relaly cool. i liked the first resident evil but the second one kind of ruined it for me because of the action scenes and such. the camera was moving too quickly making it too hard to follow

Are you referring to the anime? Because, on a whim, I watched the live action movie last summer and I couldn't make it past the first half hour.

what I found interesting about the first Resident Evil is that it's ending is very similar to the beginning of 28 Days Later Laughing which is also an awesome movie Wink

yes it is out on DVD, I bought it the day it came out, it is really neat watching the speacial features as they talk alot about toronto and how they filmed it there, (Since I live in TO).

If you have seen the movie you know they are mostly wearing skirts and tanktops but you may not realise they where wearing those outside for night shoots in mid november in toronto. lol, musta been pretty cold.

I didn't realize they made a Streetfighter anime...but i can't imagine that it would have been too interesting...

The Streetfighter movie had it's moments.....like who could forget the outstanding physical exchange beteween Chun LI and Mr. Bison! Remember...when she finally reveals herself as Chun Li and totally kicks his ass!!!!

But I totally hated the portrayals of Dalsim and Blanka were awful....

I think that the VEGA character should've been more integral...and I think that RYU and KEN WERE PATHETIC!!!

I think that Mortal Kombat was an amazing rendition of the video game.... I think, however, that Mortalk Kombat 2 was AWFUL! Except for the Sindel character who i thought was damn cool and for SHIVA who was kickin!

Tell me, Coutsos, did they ever make a Mortal Kombat anime??? Now that I'd like to see Smile

I dunno, but there were ALOT of characters in all sorts of anime's who look like raiden or whomever, with the big hat and ninja-like clothes.

Raiden totally sucked in Mortal Kombat 2. A much more inferior Raiden than in part one.

I think choosing Talisa Soto to play Mileena in part one was amazing. Truly a great job. You know...all this talk about mortal kombat is encouraging me to go and rent it again...

Hey... I never knew that mario brother had a movie... Shocked
is it an actual movie or is it more like an anime?

And wut about AVP? the story of the movie doesn't exactly follow the game but it's still the same basic idea...

btw I voted Resident Evil...

yes, mario bros, the real life action flick with Jon Leguizamo (sp?) Was pretty damn cool way back when in 1990 i think when it came out. I remember being 10 and thinking this was the coolest thing i had ever seen! Smile

As far as Alien Vs Predator...well i'm suggesting movies which were originally video games. This i guess wouldn't apply to AVP..
