Anyone else wonder why no one ever makes a good video game based movie that follows the plot of the game it goes way out there. Like Resident Evil. They could've made it based off of the mansion with Chris, Jill, Wesker, ect. but they made an entirely new story that takes place in the Resident Evil universe but is completely different. Like if you think about it, Umbrella in the movies isn't that evil while in the games they were truly evil. In the movies the t-virus was developed as a medicine that had repair cells but had to be used with the vaccine while in the games its sole purpose was to make Bio-Organic Weapons. In the films they only tested on animals and previously infected, unlike the game where they captured humans and tested on them. But the original Resident Evil would make a great movie and there are other games that the movies butcher like Doom, Max Payne, ect. So on this topic lets talk about video games you want to be made into movies well. For example I think Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 and 2 would make for great movies.
I agree with you but they did stated that after the movie"afterlife",they were going to reboot the entire series(movies)and start fresh.Not so sure why they didn't use the plot in the first game to begin with but i did enjoy the RE films as they are.
Video Game movies as a whole are a mixed bag, many are terrible (look at the Uwe Boll films) but you do find a gem every so often, ex Mortal Kombat 1 and Tomb Raider 1. Right now the best adapation so far looks to be the upcoming Prince of Persia: Sands of Time film, but I could be wrong.

The Resident Evil films are typical Zombie Films, although I'll give Extinction credit for trying something new with the series, that I wish would one day make it into the games: i.e. the T-Virus being spread across the planet following the nuking of Racoon City and the effects the virus had on the world outside of Racoon CityÂ
OMG the Mario movie was aweful! It was straight out terrible. Also I've never played Mortal Combat or the movie. And the only part of the Tomb Raider movie was like a shootout in a library or something like that.

I remember seeing that mario movie,i had no idea what they were thinking
I remember watching the 2 mortal kombat movies back when they were new.
Mortal Kombat 1 Movie - decent but forgettable
Mortal Kombat 2 Movie- ...................unless you want a ticket to a mental institution, I suggest you dont watch it
Darkman2007
I didn't like either,to me it felt like they rushed the whole thing,not that movies based on games are any good.Still hope though that afterlife delivers.
Resident Evil movies were good, I watched the punisher without knowing it was a game, Hitman was okay, didn't much like doom

But the worst piece of crap ever is afew episodes, animated of the legend of zelda...... excuse me princess, for making such a great series look like crap.

Back on topic, The only problem I see with RE films is alice being overpowered which is going to be fixed due to her losses and they do follow the games a little by bringing in characters. So its not completely void, i have seen movies much more off the mark
