My favorite videogame brought to a movie woulf be, of course, "Final Fantasy VII Advent Children" though I have to admit that Silent Hill is really very, very close. The wait for the Final Fantasy movie was stressing and when I finally saw it it all paid off. With one of the greatest computer animations I've seen, if not the best, and the continuation of one of my favourite RPG's of all time, it can hardly be a disappintment to someone (hardly possible but possible no matter lol).

Written by [user id=2134] on 25.10.2006 at 05:26 You exceed in the math class because you are pretty good at numbers. There is this chick in the class that is very attractive and over whom you have laid eyes previously. You find her very attractive to the point she totally captivates you. Day after day you start proving yourself as being extremely good in math (to the point of getting recognition by the professor of the class) and all of a sudden this girl of any man's dream approaches you looking for conversation. Her attention is enough to wake pleasure in you and each word that comes out of her mouth is pure bliss. Time passes and she continues to talk to you and this one day she asks you to help her in doing the final test of the math class by cheating, having you telling her the answers to the math problems. Of course you agree to her pleas and you help her out. She receives a good grade in the test because of your help and then you decide to ask her finally that which you have been struggling for weeks to ask her: if she wants to be with you. She answers that she only sees you as a friend and after the semester is over you never get to know from her again. If we see what this hypothetical story tells us we can get to compare it to what one takes from nudity in a movie such as this. Nudity can give an immediate pleasure (as that girl's attention towards you) for us men admire the beauty of the women's body but it is all ephemeral, this aspect of the movie will come to be hallow after you finish watching the movie; the intentions behind that nudity are to captivate your attention and spend money to watch the movie even when the movie does not offer you anything at all in the end (the girl wants your supposed friendship just so that she can pass the class, after that you are worthless, you have nothing). After the movie ends you will see that it offered nothing at all, just an illusion of satisfaction that had only one purpose: take your money (help her cheat to pass the class). One must decide between two things: give in to the immediate pleasure which is in reality an illusion or realize that there are some hidden intentions behind the use of nudity in those movies and resist to be controlled and manipulated by this ephemeral offering of pleasure. In my opinion Mortal Kombat had more of a storyline than this House of the Dead movie. You had the characters, original characters of the game, and they all had a background of their own. Sonya wanted to kill Kano because he murdered his partner (right?), Johnny Cage is seen as a fake martial artist who struggles in finding that acceptance, making people realize that he possesses indeed fighting skills, etc. It is more than I can say about people killing and being killed by zombies.

Written by [user id=5394] on 26.10.2006 at 01:34 hahaha, you must really regard this movie as worthless.  I don't think the movie is that bad just more of the same and nothing special. If you really want to see pathetic films try most movies that are released by Lion's Gate; those are really the worst movies you can watch.

Written by [user id=5394] on 26.10.2006 at 01:55 Yeah dude, believe it for they are even worse. Imagine an even lamer storyline to that of HOTD, with far worse acting and with what seems to be 5,000 dollars in budget for the whole film. I can't recall any title right now so that you can have an idea but you can recognize them by the crappy horror art work with the cursed seal of Lion's Gate on them. Most of them can pass as homemade horror movies by amateurs. Avoid them as if they were Jesus Christ in person.

WOW nice list dude. the only movies I;ve seen out of these are: Silent Hill: which I believe is the best videogame-based movie ever, because I believe it tells u a lot about the game and it has a wonderful (Horror and emotional) story which is rare in this type of movies. Resident Evil 1 & 2: I liked the movie coz of Milla Jovovich and because I really loved the game, although the first part has little to nothing related to the game but it still is nice and the second part has Sienna Guillory another one of my favourites (but the thing I hated about the 2nd one is that Nemesis becomes their friend  where did that happen in the game.Tomb Raider: ofcourse the main reason to like the movie is by far Angelina Jolie and nothing else because I always hated the "one-man-army" movies Pokemon: the first & Mewtwo Returns: I remember that I liked them coz I was a poke-fan during my childhood.

Max Payne is a good example. I also watched Pokemon: Giritina And The Sky Warrior recently.

Most of the time movies made from video games are not good

I thought 'Postal' was a more than decent adaption of the video game. It's the only Uwe Boll film that even he couldn't fuck up. Due to the fact, that the game was already a huge pile of random (which I loved). Sure, it could have been better, but the way it turned out wasn't half bad.

The problem with the Silent Hill movie is that the overall "what the fuck is going on?" vibe from the game doesn't work as well in a movie.It seems they didn't catch that the less you explain in a movie,the more boring it gets.Especially if you ad a stupid gore fest to the equation.

Written by Zombie on 30.09.2010 at 23:24 I believe there were plans, but they canned it. Also I like how people don't really notice that quote was borrowed from the film They Live. Still, it's a badass one.

@ Vezzy: i knew about that... but that movie was retarded .. and its protagonist 'attitude' isn't as cool as dukes... so i prefer when nukem says it. the other dude's like: "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... *pause* and I'm all out of bubblegum" however, what duke really 'more than borrows' quotes from was Ash from "Evil dead" ... and duke can never be as cool as ash.
