The 41 Best and Worst Video Game Movies, Ranked According to Film School Rejects - Page 2

"The universe is vast & filled with many mysteries, but one unanswered question sits atop them all — why is it apparently so damn difficult to make great movies adapted from video games? Numerous filmmakers, studios, & talents have tried, but the results are rarely anything worth getting excited about. While there are exceptions, the vast majority of video games being adapted for the screen just don't have a feature-worthy narrative, meaning screenwriters are tasked with building their own story or ignoring it all together while still ticking off a checklist of reference points to the game itself. A lack of great video game adaptations still leaves room for fun ones. We've decided to rank them from the abysmal to the entertaining, but first a couple of quick qualifiers. For the sake of our own sanity, we're limiting the list to live-action films that received a theatrical release in the US. We're also sticking with films actually based on a game." - filmschoolrejects.com
