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?
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!
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
How bad is it? It's even worse than the Van Damme film. Yeah, let that sink in...
Horrible game, horrible movie!
Let's face it, there was no way a game with not much of a story could do well as a motion picture.
