Top 10 Worst Video Game Movies

You know, it's no secret that video games and movies are two completely different beasts. They're both forms of entertainment, sure, but the way they engage their audience and tell stories is as different as night and day. Sometimes, though, some brave (or perhaps misguided?) souls in Hollywood decide to bridge that gap and adapt our beloved video games into big-screen spectacles. The results? Well, let's just say they've been mixed, to put it diplomatically.

Welcome to this survey of cinematic misadventures, where we explore the strange, bewildering, and often hilarious world of video game movies gone wrong. Whether it's a laughably bad script, miscast actors, or bizarre plot deviations from the source material, these films have taken liberties with their video game origins in ways that left fans shaking their heads in disbelief. But hey, one person's facepalm is another's belly laugh, right?

So, the question is, what are the worst video game movies according to you? We've all got those films that, for one reason or another, just didn't do justice to our favorite digital pastimes. Is it the convoluted plot of a certain sci-fi epic that left you more confused than entertained? Or perhaps it's that action-packed adaptation with questionable special effects and performances that still haunt your nightmares?

The Top Ten

  1. Super Mario Bros.

    This movie is inexplicable. They destroyed the whole essence of the Mario universe and put stupid things in its place. I think for a movie about games to work, people working on the project should understand games first.

    This movie was probably why they dropped the Crash Bandicoot movie. Everyone hated the Mario movie. So, they didn't release the Crash Bandicoot movie.

    It should've just been Lou Albano talking about stuff for 90 minutes. Then, it would have been a good movie, or just cartoon it!

  2. House of the Dead

    More like Zombie Island. It's obvious the people who made this movie never played the game. And why is this movie set on an island instead of a giant mansion?

  3. Alone in the Dark

    All I have to say about this is Uwe Boll. Worst director in history and the worst film in his filmography to exist.

    Never seen it, but the 1% on Rotten Tomatoes explains enough.

    This movie was a huge letdown for me as a fan of the game.

  4. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

    While the first Mortal Kombat was at least watchable, the sequel was just terrible. Any redeeming qualities? No, none. Don't bother searching the web for any.

    The first film was very entertaining, so how did they mess up so badly?

    An extremely awful sequel to an entertaining video game movie.

  5. Double Dragon

  6. Street Fighter

    The plot was terrible and stupid, and Jean Claude van Damme was terrible. I could not understand a word he said. But Raul Julia was great.

    That this was ultimately Raul Julia's last film just makes it worse. What a bad way to go out!

  7. Bloodrayne

  8. Resident Evil

    This movie had a lot of potential. Sadly, director Paul Anderson decided to come up with his own version of Resident Evil - one without anyone's favorite characters or anything remotely interesting.

    Just play the games instead of these cliché crap.

  9. Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within

  10. Pokemon The First Movie

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Five Nights at Freddy's 2

  12. ?

    Five Nights at Freddy's

    13. The Contenders

  13. Tekken

  14. Wing Commandor

  15. D.O.A.: Dead or Alive

  16. Doom

  17. Hitman

  18. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

    How bad is it? It's even worse than the Van Damme film. Yeah, let that sink in...

  19. Silent Hill: Revelation

  20. Warcraft

  21. Max Payne

  22. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

  23. Need for Speed

    Spoilers ahead!

    Not a bad movie, but it's no Fast and Furious. The acting seems to be impressive, and so are the cars, but the plot has holes and errors and doesn't make sense sometimes, especially when the man who set up the De Leon race said that the winner takes all the cars. Liar! All the cars but a red Koenigsegg get totaled during the race, and Toby Marshall only goes to jail after winning the race. Also, how can Dino be convicted of killing Pete when we didn't see any evidence? Another character said Pete died during the night. He actually died during the day. Overall, not an excellent film, but not bad. 7/10

  24. Far Cry

  25. In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale

  26. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life

  27. Pokemon the Movie Kyurem vs the Sword of Justice
