"Best game adaption" maybe yes, but some people here said that the MK movie was great.
Btw, I'd prefer to watch Tomb Raider than MK again..
(well, before Warcraft)

phaolo: It's a great database for info about movies.
If you don't look for such things.. ok :P
I meant the movie's score, or ratings or whatever you call it.

in so far game adaptions go mortal kombat is one of the best

tomb raider isnt really an game adaption more an action movie that just happens to have a main character called lara croft
but other then that its relation to any of the 5 games at the time are tenuous

much like the doom movie really

Not to mention the fact that it's a damn terrible movie. Even Angelina Jolie being incredibly sexy wasn't enough to make it any fun to watch. That says a lot.

So this movie apparently did extremely well in China but nowhere else.

TARFU: Wing Commander...
The cast of She's All That" in space. I fucking hated that movie and Freddie Prinz Jr. Imagine how shocked
I was when he showed up in Mass Effect 3.

Insult to fucking injury.

Good casting does not a good movie make.

Wasn't the Wing Commander movie directed by the guy responsible for the games too? How did this movie go so apocalyptically wrong? People were trying to be silent to avoid detection... in space!

That's what makes me hate it more! I mean how does a creator fuck his own work up so bad and not be George Lucas?

Interesting, I didn't expect this, after reading some reviews in Rotten Tomatoes and other websites.
It has only 23% in R.T.

I haven't watched yet, so I can't say if it's deserved, or not.

Blizzard is having a good profit with the movie, so that may motive them to make a sequel.

Did you like the movie, and would you like a sequel??
The following comment has nothing to do with the movie whose Trailers I liked and I still intend to see:

Blizzard has been for a long time at a stage where they could put their logo on a piece of dried poop and it still would sell like iced water in a desert.

Everything Blizzard does is more related to religion than art if you ask me. So what they do doesn't follow earthly rules like everything else.

My point is aligned to that.

mistermumbles: So... there will be 'Warcraft 2: The Search for More Money' then? ;)
Well, Blizzard has been milking the Warcraft cow for over a decade.
Nothing new here..
Everyone knows about Bli$$ard greediness.

tinyE: And the video game movie with the record for the most people walking out before the opening credits even finished: PIXELS!
Oh my god, have you watched this? We should all pretend it never existed.

Perhaps we should define successful.

Are we talking money making, keeping with the theme and tradition of the game franchise, or enjoyment factor?
Posted June 22, 2016
Not the most succesful, but the best movie about videogames (literally) is Tron, and if you stretch it a little bit and consider it to be inspired by Pong, then it turns into the best videogame movie ever :-P

Rachael Leigh Cook was on that movie?
... oh; no, she wasn't. :-( False alarm.


To be honest, I was really hoping that Lucasfilm would make "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis". But instead they went with that "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". I knew what that meant right away. (And unfortunately, I was correct.)
