Good call. Based on goleneye alone, movies bases off of games are worse than games based off of movies.

We had this thread before. I think either way is bad.

Making a movie depends entirely on director and actor, for example max Payne is such a bad movie.

Games based off of movies. They're never good (Star Wars is the exception), as opposed to movies based off of games... Prince of Persia, anyone?

Tomb Raider wasn't bad and Spiderman 2 is one of the best superhero games. If you mean on average, movies based off games.

Movies that are based off games have a higher chance of just being straight out terrible.

1. Because the fans of the game will complain if it's not right on.

2. Because people that go to theaters to see these movies have no idea what they are about and expect something completely different than what they are going to see.

3. Because a lot of them have terrible budgets and horrible screen writers.

Games based off of movies on the other hand, sometimes have the upper hand.

1. Because a movie was popular people will want merchandise from that movie and so people will go out and buy the games.

2. Sometimes (not always) there is a decent sized budget for the games to at least get them up to average quality.

3. Because really not all movie games are bad.

So really as you can see games based on movies have it better than that of movies based on games.

There are a lotta good Star Wars games. They balance things out. There are very, very few good movies based on games.

The only movie based on game I thought was great was Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, not even Mortal Kombat was that amazing, and every other movie based on games I saw were terrible and Uwe Boll is the bottom of the barrel with his movies.

Both...although games based off movies are clearly an attempt to milk a franchise for all its worth.

Although Goldeneye managed to prove that wrong, for once.

games based off movies had a better success rate IMO, though that was mostly during the 8-bit to16-bit era when everything was a simple side-scroller, heck even that Cool Spot 7-Up mascot made for a fun game, these days however games based on movies are pretty much all bad (yet are surprisingly successful commercially), movies based on games however while not being great have been somewhat watchable, I actually enjoyed renting Silent Hill and Hitman, Postal, and watched Prince of Persia in theaters, and maybe I ended up somewhat liking them because my cynical expectations were that they'd suck much more than they actually did, which might have took me by surprise to actually liking them, and Uwe Boll films can't disappoint because by now people should know better, it's almost kind of fascinating how bad they are, watching them is more a guilty curiosity

Videogame movies, there is actually a decent amount of good movie games. It's just overshadowed like a small village caught in an avalanche of bear crap.

Both.. But a good focused example would be Aliens vs Predator.

Games based off movies. With films based on games atleast it's a good game however with games based on films the film is often crap too.

I think games based off of movie's is more annoying than anything else.

Especially since Disney feels the need to make a video game for ever movie they have

Hate to say it, but I prefer the movie Goldeneye over the game. That's not to say I don't think the game is great,which it is.

Neither works fine I usually find. If you take the concept/setting of a movie and expand on that to make a game rather than just trying to re-create the movie in game form then it might turn out ok. EG Michael Jackson's Moonwalker was wonderful

Games based off of movies are almost always terrible, except for maybe the spider-man games which I thought were pretty fun, although I was a kid back then. Movies based off of games are also sub-par (Hitman anyone?) although I did like the first Tomb Raider.
