Games and film have been popular forms of entertainment for a long time, so it’s not a surprise that the two collided many times over (often with hideous consequences). Here we look at the top 10 film adaptations of games and a couple of franchises that didn’t even break into the top 10.
The Mortal Kombat screenwriter wasn't happy about the changes made to his script.
With age comes wisdom - and far better movies!
The 1993 Super Mario Bros. film isn't exactly revered as top-tier filmmaking. But it still resulted in a sequel.
Honestly, Im still waiting for a phenomenal film based on a game, all of the movies on that Top 10 list are rather poor.
And as a die-hard Silent Hill fan, I get pissed off when people say the film was good, trust me.... it wasnt..
Its hard to make a movie adaptation of popular games because you have to satiisfy not only the die hard fans who played the game but you have to widen your target market to audiences not familiar with the game to start liking the franchise by watching an entertaining movie. almost all games adapted to movie did not meet the standards. i dont know much of the prince of persia game but silent hill and mortal kombat where pretty decent movies.
It's truly ridiculous to have a tie anywhere on this list. A majority of these movies aren't good, so to put them on a top 10 list is a little bit misleading. Then to have ties on it is stupid. Out of them, the most enjoyable were Prince Of Persia, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and Tomb Raider.
My vote wud go to Prince of Persia and Hitman. Hitman was absolutely Boss, I have it on bluray :)
