Most video games would work better as a miniseries or series than a movie.
Unless it's some hyperlinear <6 hour game that could be boiled down to 120 minutes.

The first tomb raider movie

The only way to make a good movie based on a video game is to make sure that the movie has almost nothing to do with the video game.

In the end, if you're going to do that, you might as well just make it an original IP.

>>68262072
You're getting off topic a bit there anon.
>Why can't we get a good video game movie?

>>68262072
That's not true at all and in fact why so many of them fail. Like The Chun Li movie. How can you take such a solid premise for a fun asction movie as "Kung Fu fighting Interpol Agent seeks reeks revenge against a telekinetically powered terrorist warlord" and turn it into "willowy pianist matches wits with Irish real estate developer"

It's a classic. Grow up OP.

>>68261341
I actually really enjoy Street Fighter 94, shit as it may be. The film's humor (particularly concerning Bison) seems like some sort of apology for the rest of the script.

Tournament fighter games will probably never make good movies, since the point to most of those games is that there's no one protagonist. So when they try to focus on one character, but cram everybody else in to please the fans, the other characters don't feel whole.

A lot of other games wouldn't make good moves because without the appeal of interaction, the story at hand is rather generic or incoherent.

On the other hand, there was that Chun-Li solo film that only had her, Charlie Nash and Crimson Viper going after Shadaloo. Shame it was in-name-only trash.
>>
>>68262286
This. Movie nearly perfectly captured the spirit of the games. All it was missing was over the top gore.
>>
>>68262456
>in-name-only trash.
That's the other problem. The only other route studios seem to go is something that is easier to film and/or write, but has next to nothing to do with the game, like the Mario Brothers Movie

Mario Bros, however, is at least kinda fun to watch. The Legend of Chun-Li was unbearable.

Also, Gen is Liu Kang. And Ryu gets namedropped once but is pronounced Rye You.
I was surprised it wasn't Uwe Boll at the helm of this one, given the amount of fucks not given baout source material.

>>68262540
I rewatched Super Mario Bros recently and I feel like it has more to do with the games than you remember.

Really, it's like a cyberpunk adaptation of Super Mario World. The tone doesn't match the games at all, but the plot is really just Super Mario World with a few needed additions to make it translate to live action.

>Mario and Luigi go to Dinosaur Land
>Have to rescue the princess from Koopa
>Have to go through his Koopa Kids to get to him
>Toad is loyal to the mushroom people but is unable to directly help Mario and Luigi
>Meet Yoshi along the way, who was born in Dinosaur Land and has lived there is whole life but still wants to help save the princess

It may have not been the closest adaptation, but I certainly wouldn't call it "in-name-only trash".

how have i never heard of this
this movie looks dope
>>
Street fighter 94 is just plain fun. It's bad, yes, but it's obvious they knew as well that it was campy and just went with it.
Also it's just filled to the brim with awesome one liners.
>quick! Change the channel!
>but to me, it was Tuesday

I also still have a soft spot for the Mario movie.
Just think about it, how the hell would you even make any sort of respectable live action movie adaption of super Mario? It's actually extremely strange when you think about it.
Those things considered I think they did a very respectable job with the adaption. It has tons of greate ideas, lots and lots of practical effects and memorable moments. I urge people who dismissed it to give it a second chance.

>that feel when you were a kid, and went to the cinema at the opening day to watch Mario bros
>was blown away
>waited, waited, and waited for a sequel that never came because of the ending

;_;
>>
>>68261341
My favourit is the Tekken live action movie.
Maybe not a good adaption, but it had the best fighting.
>>
Silent Hill
>>
>>68264198
Yeah I agree. I think dialogue is always something that these movies are lacking. The script have to be stellar and convincing.
>>
>>68264252
That was an "OK" movie.

It's seriously dope, senpai. A little bit slow, and only focuses on the shotos, but there's obviously a lot of passion put into the series and the choreography is decent too.

Anyone who says mortal kombat wasn't good, was not old enough to watch it when it came out. that shit was awesome for the time. the only fault really(besides being cheesy at times) was they should have just sucked it up and went R rated and added the gore. Might have lost em money but eh the movie would have fit better
