I’m sitting here giving Resident Evil a rewatch (Milla Jovavich FTW) and it’s got me thinking about video game based movies that are good, and those that aren’t. RE I consider rather good. Hitman is entertaining. The Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider was only so so, and I haven’t seen the new one. Max Payne was quite disappointing. And from what little I can remember of it, I feel like the Super Mario Bros movie was bad, especially by today’s standards.
Those are a few to get the discussion started. What are the hits and misses in everyone’s opinions? [Reply]

My dad has never played a single second of any of the WoW universe games and enjoyed the movie with me quite a bit.
I never played WoW either. Thought the movie was pretty lousy. The orcs seemed way more powerful than the humans and should have just stomped them. It was a bit confusing, not knowing anything about the game. The CGI was too cartoony. [Reply]
