Game-based movies

[Drace]

Well, I've taken the time to get a list of know game-based movies.

1993: Mario Brothers (Haven't seen it, heard bad things about it.)
1994: Double Dragon (Haven't seen it, heard bad things about it.)
1994: Street Fighter (Seen it, didn't like it very much but it could last for mindless fighting)
1995: Mortal Kombat (Seen it, thought it was good.)
1997: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (Haven't seen it, heard bad things about it.)
1999: Wing Commander (Haven't seen it, heard bad things about it.)
2001: Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (Seen it. Thought it was good even though it had nothing to do with any of the games.)
2001: Tomb Raider (Seen it, liked it a bit.)
2002: Resident Evil (Seen it. Loved it.)
2003: Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (Haven't seen it, heard bad things about it.)
2003: House of the Dead (Not seen it yet. Been advised not to see it unless I want to commit suicide because it sucks Rosie O'Donnells a$$.)
2004: Alien Vs. Predator (Seen it. Nice action movie.)
2004: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Not seen yet.)
2004: Resident Evil: Apocalypse (Seen it. Liked it very much.)

You forgot the second resident evil yes there both named resident evil the 1st & 2ed what ya do about it

[Drace]

...
Andrew. If you look in my list you'll see: "2004: Resident Evil" and "2004: Resident Evil Apocalypse". Apocalypse = Resident Evil 2.

EDIT: Also, Andrew. Remember this: "Punctuation is our friend.".

[Andrew78]

if you've played the game of resident 3 and seen aclipse then nemisis is in both if you played number 2 hes not and i'll post both of the cases to prove my self

[Drace]

What the hell are you talking about? Nemesis isn't in both the movies. But in the end the guy get's transformed into Nemesis, though you'll only see him the next movie.

1993: Mario Brothers
Corny, but I loved it

1994: Double Dragon
Never saw it

1994: Street Fighter
I loved that movie when I was younger

1995: Mortal Kombat
1997: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
Same as Street Fighter. I'll Still watch it if it's on

1999: Wing Commander
Never saw it

2001: Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
It was okay, I liked the animation more than the movie itself

2001: Tomb Raider
Seen it many times. Angelina Jolie is a good Lara Croft

2002: Resident Evil
Didn't care to much for it. It was.... very lame.....

2003: Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
Its pretty good, not as good as first thouh

2003: House of the Dead
Never saw it

2004: Alien Vs. Predator
Never saw it. Wouldn't mind though.

2004: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Not yet, probably won't for a long while

2004: Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Never seen it, don't really care to

I think that in the other topic about this, we were talking about a Zelda movie, which I still think is a good idea if they skip most of the dungeon-crawling (it would get boring after a while) and just have Link going through a dark version of Hyrule Castle and duelling Ganon at the end.

Speaking of other Nintendo movies, how about Kirby? Or Starfox? Maybe Donkey Kong?

[blackskullwarlock]

I remember seeing a Donkey Kong 3D 'cartoon' that played weekly.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is actually better than Mortal Kombat. If another Mortal Kombat movie is coming out, I'll be sure to buy it.

[Linkizcool]

Kirby: Maybe for youngert kids, unless they have adult humour, blood, cornyness, ya you get my picture
Donkey Kong: HELL NO!!!! The last thing I want to see is a movie about a gorilla banging bongo drums and collecting bananas, unless they have some actually good humour in it
Star Fox:This would make a good movie, if they changed the voices and made them sound more serious/
Zelda: This would be my favourite choice, I've been a fan of Zelda for a long time (obviously, my name and avatar) and I've neemd looking forward to them anouncing a movie for ages.

What I would want to see would be Metroid. That would make an awesome movie. Or even a Sword of Mana movie.

[WarxePB]

Starfox, Zelda and Metroid would all make good movies if they were pulled off right. An awesome Arwing-Wolfen dogfight in Starfox, a mature-looking CG Link duelling a CG Ganon in Zelda, and Samus walking through a dark corridor with creepy music in the background - I would gladly pay for those moments.

Do you know what game WOULDN'T make a good movie? Pokemon... oh wait, they already did that like 6 times XP

Or how about Megaman.EXE? They already have a TV show, why not make a full movie?

[DragonBlaze]

I liked super mario bros, but I was 9 when I watched it.. I liked the super mario tv series a lot better though. I wish they still had it, I bearly remember anything from it, and it was on at 6 in the morning, so I hardly ever watched it.

The other movie I liked is tomb raider (the first one, the second one was horrible).

The reason most movies based off of games are horrible, is because plots for movies and games are designed differantly, and when you try to put a game plot in a movie, it sucks, and visa versa.


You know what was really good, the sonic tv series. The first one though, the second one blew, and the third one seems ok for a cartoon, but nothing like the first one.

[blaze_shinigami]

are you talkin about movie movies, or? cause Tekken has an anime movie, if anyone hasn't said already. I did read the whole thread, but maybe i didn't catch it.

1993: Mario Brothers (Haven't seen it, heard bad things about it.)

 I think it was a good movie, it didn't follow the game's storyline, this means, no mushroom(spelt?!), well there IS mushrooms, but they don't make people big. No flowers, no Toad, and Yoshi isn't a talking-smart dinossaur, just a good dinossaur.

 

2001: Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (Seen it. Thought it was good even though it had nothing to do with any of the games.)

 True, true.

 I would like if they made a Suikoden-based movie, I think that serie would be great as a movie, the whole serie, you can cut half of the characters, if you want (108 characters in a movie? It would be the same as knowing the name of each clone in Star Wars!)

 EDIT:

 

Donkey Kong: HELL NO!!!! The last thing I want to see is a movie about a gorilla banging bongo drums and collecting bananas, unless they have some actually good humour in it

 King Kong was a good movie, so I can't see why Donkey Kong can't. Maybe if we ut him with other nintendo characters? The first Donkey Kong game featured him and Mario (jumpman), so why don't put both in the same movie?

 EDIT AGAIN:
 

Or how about Megaman.EXE? They already have a TV show, why not make a full movie?

 Before Megaman.EXE they should do a Megaman, the first one, only Megaman, Roll, Rush, Dr. Light, Dr. Willy, Protoman, and the 6 robots from the first game. (Cutman, Iceman, Gutsman, Bombman, Fireman, Elecman)
