But there are also some ideas that have a perfect medium, and to try to transfer them would be ludicrous. Do we need to attempt to make a movie of the Mona Lisa? Do we need to take Joyce's Ulysses and put Jason Statham in it, rate it R and release it, hoping to cash in somehow?

Meh, comic book films seem to do a pretty good job.

For all the horrible video-game movies, there's still Mortal Kombat which was mediocre at best as a film but when I was younger that shit was awesome and the fights are still great. And, more importantly, we got to see Raul Julia play M Bison.

I can forgive everything else about the Street Fighter film and about video-game films in general, since I got to see Raul Julia play M Bison.

Hm, I've loved so few game to movie adaptations, these only being the 4 Resident Evil Films. The CGI Final Fantasy and Resident Evil films and also Silent Hill. Oh yeah and Mortal Kombat too.

Titles like Doom were just...awful really =/

Mario film was good when I was about 4 xD

Hate the RE films. Alice is the worst character ever. -_- Good job director, you're eff'ing Alice, she's your wife, so you include her in the mix, someone who has nothing to do with the RE series at all.

The MK films were great, especially the first one. Seeing those characters come to life like that, especially with how Scorpion and Sub-Zero looked...I was blown away.

Doom was fun. Comedic and had it's moments. The best part was the final 15 minutes. Good lord, that first-person view...waiting throughout the film for that moment was completely worth it.

My most recently liked adaptation was Prince of Persia. Decent flick overall, Jake did well as the Prince.

Very, very few video game movies have actually been successful. I think some could have been more successful if done by the right directors. Get Christopher Nolan to direct a Zelda film. That would be epic. D:

Prince of Persia was *bleep*ing horrible! I also agree with Kingx2, I wanna' see a Zelda film.
