I went back to rewatch this movie a couple of weeks ago and I didn't look at it the same way again. Also what was up with the bad genetics plotline instead of it being the literal demons of hell?
>>
Mortal Kombat
Street Fighter (in a so-bad-its-good way)

Can we cheat and say Hardcore Henry?
>>
The doom movie was terrible, it had barely any similarity to the games.

Same with Silent hill & RE.
>>
>>333673368
I liked it, but that FPS section was goofy as hell.

Johnson worked alright in an antagonistic role. Should've been kicking the shit out of demons instead of fucking genetics engineering and additional chromosomes or whatever.

Straight up the only problem with them was using SH2 monsters.

The only good parts of that film were Rosamund Pike and the FPS segment because it was so laughably bad.

I vote gif related. Despite the liberties taken with the plot and monsters. The soundtrack was baller and the effects amazing.

>>333673636
2nd film is a crime against humanity. Literally half the movie is in the real world and some whiny bitch and her gay husbando running from the spooky.


Prince of Persia was an ok fantasy action flick.
First Hitman movie was tolerable.
Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider was watchable too.

I legit liked that one. Wouldn't have worked without the prostitute.

Only loose end was why didn't 47 whack the Interpol agent years ago, he didn't exactly value human life until he saw some of his childhood in the prostitute. And even then.
>>
>>333675114
Prostitute was fine. Agent 47 giving her blue balls was even better.
>>
>>333675210
>Agent 47 giving her blue balls was even better.
Is it because he can't fug grills or he just doesn't care for it?
>>
>>333675713
It's probably because he's a walking bag of childhood trauma and emotional distancing. Some people build emotional walls, 47 was more Fortress of Solitude.

The only really, really bad one was Extinction. Since it was neither good (Original/Apocalypse yeah I said it) nor incredibly goofy (Retribution/Afterlife).

It was this awkward, horrible midground where it took itself way too fucking seriously while being completely devoid of merit.

Also fuck Alice. Director's goddamn donut steel mary-sue OC.

Aliens is an awful movie that actively ruins everything good the first movie did. DOOM had a similar idea going on of these badass space soldiers trapped in a facility with something a lot more dangerous than them and getting picked off one by one, except it was actually a fun movie. Aliens was not.
>>
>>333677050

Extinction was only good because about 30% of it was a direct rip-off of Day of the Dead.

You know, I get that people have their own opinions on things but to suggest that the doom movie was good let alone better than aliens is so fucking stupid I almost at a loss for words.

>>333677050
>badass space soldiers
They're a parody of "badass"
They also die the shittiest ways possible
The weapons aren't even the ones from the game. The chaingun fires for like 3 seconds. The BFG shoots superheated boogers instead of an energy charge that desintegrates every fucker in the room

The thing with Alien and Aliens is that the first movie rode mainly on the suspense and mystery of the Xenomorph. You don't know what it fully looks like, you don't know what it's capable of: it's new and it's exciting. For the second film, this shock factor was gone, since you're already familiar with the monster. So what's left? Make the aliens into a horde and provide simple, yet efficient action sections.

As a loosely based title I thought it was pretty good some of the references to the games were great for fans as well, like when they return to the laser room the bodies vanish.

Third movie was when they obviously realized fans of the series don't watch it and the audience is people who know nothing about the series and probably think it started with the movies.
