What's the best video game movie and why is it Silent Hill?

>>332486916
I agree, it was okay. The second is an abomination to cinema.
>>
>>332486916
i watched every "Every frame a painting" clip on youtube so i feel like im an authority here when I say that silent hill movies are terrible.

here to tell you that resident evil movies are awful as well
>>
Metal Gear V
>>
>>332486916
Because all the others are complete garbage.
>>
itt edgy people hating on movies because they aren't exactly like the game, all of the tomb raider and resident evil movies were decent, even the mario movie is quite good and has lots of charm.
>>
>>332487050
Yeah but the first one is less terrible than every other video game movie.
>>
Prince of Persia.
>>
>>332487168
How can anyone hate a series of movies entirely about Milla Jovovich's thighs?
>>
What's weird about the Silent Hill movies is that the music is way better and more artistic than the movies deserve, since it was taken straight from the games.
>>
>>332487412
Next you're going to say Final Fantasy was a good movie too.
>>
>>332487931
spirits within, advent children, crisis core, they really are good movies if you like the series.

It's pretty much objectively Mortal Kombat.
>>
Final Destination with all references to the supernatural edited out, while David Bateson in a nice suit is edited into the background of some scenes.
>>
>>332486916
Well it's definitely not good, but by video game movie standards, it's definitely up there.
>>
>>332487552
This.
Silent hill movie was mediocre, and the second one was garbage.
A good silent hill movie would use a new character and its original fears and demons.

The FFVII one had some GREAT cinematography and the fight choreography lended pretty well to what I'd expect the characters to fight like in real time.

Alternatively, RE:Damnation was surprisingly good. Also great cinematography and fight choreography. Even the plot and characters turned out to be pretty okay, which is saying a lot for RE.

The japs seem to be wizards at full-CG movies.

Advent Children is just shit all around.

A tie between Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.
I remember the first Tomb Raider one being good, didn't see the others.

Anyone who tries to pretend the first Silent Hill movie is good is delusional. It's ten times better than the second one, but still bad. No, not just because it's different from the games (that applies to the ones I mentioned above as well). Just on its own it's a terrible movie.

It's good on the virtue that it's one of the best game to movie adaptations, but as a movie it's bad, mediocre at the best.

Also, compared to the second one the first movie is marginally better. Jesus fuck, I regret watching Revelations on the theater.
>>
I liked the Prince of Persia movie a lot, people complained that its ending made most of the movie seem pointless and yeah I guess it did but it was basically just how PoP 2008 SHOULD have ended instead of the prince going full retard so I was happy with it.

Mortal Kombat. All the other ones don't even come close

You remember when Pyramid Head tore off a chick's clothes? And then a second later tore off her skin? That was pretty rad.

They do.

Aww. It's about a mom looking for her daughter, so I guess it makes sense. And the music's great.

Isn't Uwe Boll's Postal movie closest to the source material? Irredeemably shit, yet somehow entertaining?
They should have gotten Rick Hunter to play Dude, though.

Street Fighter: The Movie was dog dick fucking awful. That's actually part of the reason I love it so much. The writers and director took it so seriously and Raul Julia was like, "this sucks, but I have cancer and my grand kids love Street Fighter so I'm gonna own the fuck out of this." And HE FUCKING DID! The last movie he made before he died was one of the worst movies ever made and I loved every minute of it.

3 was ok as a movie but about as far from RE as you can get. The others are garbage.

>>332495784
>The writers and director took it so seriously
What part of the movie makes you think this?
The entire thing is goofy as fuck and that's why I like it. And the goofiness seemed completely intentional to me.
>>
>>332497053
at around the third movie they completely threw the games out the window and were literally just slapping the resident evil name and a few elements like enemies and such onto it for sales and they had nothing to do with resident evil at all
>>
>>332486916

The aesthetics, production design, and the general attention to detail to make the film really feel like the movie. Sure, they fucked up some of the lore and meaning, and the second act drags like a motherfucker, but I thought it pretty neat and closer than anything has come to really getting the translation between mediums.

PoP was cool too, if a bit derivative. Doom had nothing to do with the game, but it was fun for being a scholcky B-movie (and that that god-tier FPS sequence).

I have a fondness for the first Hitman movie, specifically the director's cut. Long story short, it's closest to what the director wanted to be released in theaters. Like Doom, it's schlocky, bloody fun.
