its a cheap way to make money really. the people that make a film that used to be a game usually do it very badly.

ummm bioshock would be very good if donje correctly

Resident Evil movies were good, Mortal Kombat movies were not. Alone in the Dark was so bad it's hard to describe. Super Mario Bros was fun, though it had nothing to do with the game. Street Fighter the movie was pretty bad wasn't it?

Movies from games are like games from movies: sometimes they hit the spot, but most of them just miss by a few miles.

They should make a Halo movie (eh...). Metal Gear Solid movie too. They may as well close Hollywood after that.

Agree - Just an easy way to make extra money.... I really don't think a good movie ever came from a game.

Metal Gear Solid would be amazing if they stuck to the Post-traumatic stress disorder element in Snake. Add a little more realism and it would be really sick.

Most of the time, the attempt to make a movie from a game doesn't work out. Same with making a game from the movies. All they do is fill up the shelves of Blockbuster and take the place of all the good games....anyways...If they DID do a good job I'd love to see....

Halo

Zelda

Splinter Cell

Mario Bros (LIKE THE GAME!

so far all the game based movies have been horrible movie adaptaptions. It is like most movie based games or book based movies they just aren't anywhere near as good as the original thing in it's original media medium.
