10. Super Mario Bros.
This movie is so bad it is kind of good. It might be the biggest failure in filmmaking history though.

9. Wing Commander

I’ve seen this movie recently and man, it is a disgrace to such a cool game. Wing Commander was probably the first video game I ever really got into. Whatever, still cool to watch.

8. Max Payne

This movie is fucking awful. Wait I’m doing the good movies, right? Yep. But video game adaptations suck. My brother and I adore this video game, but the movie was a little cool to watch.

7. Silent Hill

It really is a decent film. The video game is so fucking scary though. You might want to stick with the video game.

6. Hitman

This is one of the few movies that is actually better than the video game. I hated, hate, and will always hate the Hitman series. The film is violent, action-packed, and totally unrelated to the original.

5. Stree Fighter

I don’t know where to put this movie on the list. A few years ago it would have been higher. I loved this movie as a kid and adored Van Damme and Raul Julia. Then I watched it again a few months ago and yikes…

4. Mortal Kombat

I have to take serious issue with Paul Anderson’s films. I want to dislike the man, but can’t. His movies are okay. This is one of his best. Plus, the soundtrack to this film is great. That techno single, god damn that is badass. (Note: Christopher Lambert as Raiden biggest miscast ever?)

3. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

I am a huge Final Fantasy fan. I’ve beaten nearly ever single US released version and awaited the release of this film like the second coming of jesus. FF7, Tactics, and FF8 had been released leading up to this movie. I was floored. It ended up being a weird science fiction film. Real good movie, but almost ruined Squaresoft financially and I never got into it. It had NOTHING to do with the video games. Then Advent children was released. (*Gulp* I just puked a little.)

2. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

I really like this movie a lot. Angelina Jolie is so sexy, playing the role as well as a series actress can. She gives real legitmacy to this movie. Danial Craig is also a lot of fun as her love interest who is on the wrong side. It is so dumb, but so fun.

1. Resident Evil 1,2,3

Really? Yes and trust me, I know good movies. It took me almost 5 years to except these movies were good. I was furious seeing them for the first time. I thought, “How could you do this?! This videogame changed videogames! It could have been the scariest film ever made! I could write a better movie any day of the fuckin’ week”. When this annoyance passed. I started to really enjoy the audacity of these action action/horror films. It is a series I watch often now. But regardless, this genre remains one of worst genres in filmmaking.
