Top 3 Bad Film Adaptations

"Releasing on September 14th of this year is the 5th installment of Paul W. S. Anderson’s Resident Evil film series. While received by mixed critical reviews and a mixed audience, the series has pulled in enough of a fan base to earn the latest entry in the saga $26.6 million on its opening weekend. Though I don’t find myself particularly intrigued by the Resident Evil film series, I can understand why it’s been able to pull in a crowd as well as it does. Rather than simply transferring the game script into film, the movies adapt their own story and characters to a mythos that already exists, allowing for some creative liberties that tweak things about the game that would not translate well onto the big screen." (3DS, BloodRayne, Doom, GameCube, Mortal Kombat, Nintendo DS, PC, PS Vita, PS3, PSP, Resident Evil, Wii, Wii U, Xbox, Xbox 360)

If you sir are telling me there are no other film-game adaptations WORSE than Mortal Kombat, I am afraid I'm going to have to ask you to step outside.

the first mortal kombat was the best game to film adaptation ever. It was actually a good film. Christopher Lambert is the shit.

If this guy is not pleased with the first mortal kombat film, then what on earth can he ask for? The actors looked like the characters, the characters had their personalities.. it tried to take itself seriously.

The second film was garbage money grab that sucked ass, but still... were talkn about the first one which was an all around entertaining film.

It was "OK" not terrible but not awesome either.. I know mario & DOA were the worst ive seen
Kurylo3d  +   357d ago
when u say "ok" do u mean "ok" as a game to film adaptation.. or an "ok" story.

Cause the game has an "ok" story" And it was faithful to it. It was also stylized and felt serious...(the first one)

So in the regard to game to film it was incredable. Not oscar winning, but good acting all around.

Anything Uwe Boll always trumps any list that could be made. That guy is the definition of piss poor game to film adaptations.

Also MK one was good. MK:A and the TV show were an abomination though.

Mortal Kombat was good lol & Resdient Evil is fun to watch as an action movie if you find the games boring.

Fail street fighter and Mario brothers are far worse than mortal combat movies. Mortal combat movies made money and there was more than one.

at least we had fatalities... guy frozen and shattering, 2 versions of the pit, scorpion dieing lol, impaling sub zero, some snapped necks here and there, shang tsung soul steal...

I mean even though the fatalities were extravagant gore, it got the point across.. people were dieing horrendously.

Doom was indeed total shite. And anything by Uwe Boll is pretty much guaranteed to be so bad it's unintentionally hilarious.

This is a great article by the first guys who tried to write Alone In The Dark for him:

The first Mortal Kombat movie is, arguably, the best film adaptation of all time. To say it's one of the three worst is to say you know nothing about games, film, and/or both.

Just sayin.

How in the hell does Uwe Boll still get the money and green light to continue to make horrible adaptations hell horrible movies in general...
