Video Games turned into movies

Silent Hill was a great videogame adaptation, at least for the first hour of the movie (the exploration of the town and the descent into hell). But the storyline in the second part was completely made up and didn't have anything to do with the games. I still like the film though, it's the only videogame turned film that's pretty true to the source. The badass but utterly horrifying Pyramid Head was taken from the second game in case you didn't know. The look and atmosphere is very well done because the games are very disturbing and creepy as hell and the film managed to do the same.

Silent Hill 2 looks to tell the story of the third game in the series actually.

Yeah, I somewhat like Resident Evil's adaptation (the first film). At least it has zombies and that 'licker' creature from RE2. It's good fun.

Anyone here saw Doom? That one is absolutely atrocious and completely different from what the games did in terms of visuals and characters / storyline. It honestly didn't feel related to Doom at all. The only good part is the five or so minutes in first person perspective.

I just hope they deliver Uncharted the way it needs to be delivered, just shoot the first and the second video game, and follow the entire story, because those 2 games have 100% Hollywood quality scripts, full of humor, epic action, character development and even horror (especially the first), if that gets a Silent Hill treatment (meaning adaptation true to the source), they have a blockbuster on their hands

I do recall the Doom movie...a fantastically awful movie. Good for a late night with friends and drinks! And, of course, anything Uwe Boll gets his hands on. I particularly feel bad for the Alone In The Dark film. You can tell at the core of it, there was a pretty decent idea. However, it went through several different writers, dumbing down the plot, adding car chases (!?!?), etc, etc. The direct to DVD sequel, while far from a good movie, is a thousand times more watchable.

Not sure how a Halo movie would turn out (mostly because I'm not an fps guy, so I don't know much about the mythology of the game). I seem to recall that some of the work in District 9 grew out of intial ideas from a Halo movie. Uncharted could absolutely rock. Doubly so if they could get Nathan Fillion to play Drake.

I actually do enjoy the Resident Evil movies too, but you do need to expect something other than the game when watching. Just take them for what they are (horror-themed action films). Oddly, my favorite was the third, which has possibly the LEAST to do with the games. Possibly becasue Russell Mulcahy is a better director than Paul W.S. Anderson, though Anderson's Mortal Kombat, prior to Silent Hill held the gold star for game adaptations.

Hell yes! That would make for fantastic movie-making. Imagine those flesh and blood characters on the big screen. If they shoot the exciting train sequence they would have a certified hit on their hands.

shoot the entire Uncharted 2 game, it's so bloody fantastic (I'm playing it right now you see )

Shame he dragged Clint Mansell with him back then.

This trailer is very smart and movie looks very interesting too!

These films are shite but very entertaining shite.

I honestly didn't notice a single one of them.

Oh, I'd forgotten Danna did one of them, it had some good moments as I ( vaguely ) remember.

haha!
