Now there'd be an easy script. You might as well have "Freeman: ..." on a permanent clipboard.

Super Mario Bros entertained me as a kid.

Even if it has very very little to do with the game.

Well, the AVP films were pretty good I felt, obviously, that is a film based on a game based on a film, but...

Also, the Doom film was pretty much what you would expect from it.
Isn't there supposed to be a GoW film, or did I dream that?

On any reasonable level, it's shit. But it falls into "so shit, it is entertainingly good, especially Raul Julia and his speech to Chun Li".

Although the best Street Fighter thing is clearly in the live action City Hunter, where Jackie Chan gets thrown into a SFII machine.

The only thing I liked about Street Fighter the movie was Kylie Minogue crammed into those leggings. That was spectacular :D

Kylie as Cammy was excellent.

Prince of Persia made a great movie if you ask me.

Feex.

Case in point: That resident evil CG thing. Stuck close to the material, had a story that could've been lifted out of any of the games. It was RUBBISH. The live action disasters were actually slightly better for not bothering.

Street Fighter being Raul Julia's last film made me question the existence of God.

New Mortal Kombat thing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_MqZn7E-mk

If that is just for a game, they spent far too much money on it.

Based on the number of times I've seen it linked to I would say they are getting their moneys worth.

Yeah me too. I just had it sent to me by a friend on Facebook and came to post it only it was here already.

Definitely seems to be having the desired impact.

I liked the silent hill film and the way the camera angles sorta matched in game angles.

There should be a Rez film. It'd be brilliant.
