Game based movies or movie based games?

Why would they make movies based off games or games based off movies? It generally doesn't work well, with the exception of a few but come on!

I have to agree with you, That Movie/game movie combos do suck but you can't blame the people for trying they just wanna milk more money out of us. But what I'd like to see is a propper movie director or Game company make the movie/game combos... Like when rockstar made the warriors I found that that was a great game, With many added on parts not in the movie. (Most of the game was set before the movie tell the last four levels or sumin).

Successful movies based on games.. Tomb Raider Resident Evil and i also LOVED street fighter (van dam) and the original mortal kombat movie.. campzor

Correction - those were successful movies based on attractive women kicking seven shades out of whatever came there way

not a bad thing though, imo they were all classics ;-)

All good points, but I bet you can count those few good ones that made the exceptions on both of your hands without going! I will give just about any game a try because I love to play games, I can't help that, but sometimes it makes me like when Hollywood runs out of ideas and they say "hey lets go back before the first movie, and show the people why he or she did this later on down the road" Look here Hollywood, we're not stupid, we know this movie has been redone several times by different producers and now you're going back to make this like the 13th installation of the movie? Granted some movies are awesome that way, but if you're like me you don't wanna see movies or games that have mario in a different role each time. I did enjoy "Mario Bros." growing up but since I have been playing games, I have seen at least 20 different games and continuations with mario in there, now I am mad! Well not really mad, but Nintendo quit milking mario, move to dora the explorer or barney, I'm kidding.

Id rather have games based on movies.

Films of games don't work because games are based around interactivity, while films rely on gripping story and characterisation, something games aren't terribly good at.

Games of films can work, though, as all that needs to happen is the addition of interactivity into an existing framework. They're usually rubbish because of a lack of time and effort.
