"Movies from Games"

Not going to write a huge post, just wondered why movies based on games suck?

I can't think of any:

Mortal Kombat
Super Mario Bros

And, by this reckoning, Tomb Raider will be bad.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not adverse to watching Ms Jolie fling herself about (will she make that noise when she falls? I like that noise), but video-game to movies are, without exception, bad.

Movies to games?
Usually pretty lame as well, except for Goldeneye.

Prove me wrong by all means.

Ah, he gets the nickname.

Are you me?
How can you be so similar?

"Oh come on, The New Kids? They're such a clean band, such a good role model for the children....." (me and Shanksy know the rest).

Dude, email me - Goatchildren are few and far between.

*s*

"Oh geez"
"yah?"
"Yah"
"Go bears..."

Just as long as your not making fun of ITV's popular award winning childrens drama, 'Press Gang', I dont give a monkeys...

Even Angelina, with her subliminal Goatboy lurings
> cannot save T Raider.

This definitly seems to deserve quotes based around purple magic wands, bags of magic fairy dust and ringing bells... but I'm not so sure Tony would agree?

Oh yeah, I saw a trailer for the Final Fantasy film as well... oh dear...

So what WOULD make a good film? Half-life?

(Nah, that's too much like a film already. The plot wouldn't be good in a film anyway.)

Commander keen?

(It would be a kids movie. Pointless special effects, and terrible child actors.)

Err... Jet Set Willy?

(I think that got the most votes on the poll SR did. I think it would make a good film as well, personally.)

I like you son.

Hell, you can come over to my house and fun my sister...

But I really, really cant think of a decent game to movie crossover.

Even Angelina, with her subliminal Goatboy lurings cannot save T Raider.

But I'll pass the message on when I can no longer resist her obvious callings to me.

After the quality of Streefighter live action movie...

Starring the unique acting talents of Jean Claude and Kylie 'mini' minogue...

I just dont understand how anyone can put down movies based on video games...

You know it Sir.

Terrible.

Yeah.

Bob Hoskins as a fat Italian American Plumber, I can see why it appeals so much.

Sorry, but I grew up watching Hoskins in The Long Good Friday, then he's dressed like a 4yr old holding a spanner.

Guess it's just me.

But can anyone tell me a game-based movie that isn't a floater?

And for every Super Mario, there's a Mortal Kombat.

ouch..Christopher Lambert..how hard you have fallen

I didn't mind Super Mario Bros that much. It's watchable, at least.

But he wont be Rimmer.

He'll be someone else, stifled so Ms Jolie can jump about with guns in skin-tight clothes, looking at me...staring at me and giving me the signal....she wants me..I can tell these things.

It's obvious.

Sorry lads, looks like yer luck is run out.
