So I was talking to Aaron the other day about the movie Hitman. We were both sorely disappointed in it because they put Hollywood to a great video game and a great video game storyline. They also put the love storyline in it and cast a horrible Hitman. Also doing poorly in the theater was Max Payne, Doom, Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat, etc... So Aaron brought up the challenge "Prove to me one good video game movie". Well, I can't and that brought me to this post. So the purpose of this post is to prove to you and challenge you that there are no good video game movies. Here is the is a list to prove it. I only see one on that list that might have done well in the theaters but still didn't follow the game much and wasn't all that good: Resident Evil.
Challenge: For the sake of Aaron's anger, find me a good video game movie and prove it.
Disclaimer: in order to be a good video game movie there needs to be the following criteria:
Not Hollywooded
Follows the video game storyline
Near perfect main character cast
Main character must act the same in the video game as the movie
Look at the "Films in production, pre-production, or TBA". I think they can redeem themselves when they make the Clancy games: Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six if they stay close to the video game and don't cast someone like the Rock.
