  Half of those movies were directed by the same person, Uwe Boll.

    Careful now, don’t talk shit about him or he’ll challenge you to a fight (unless he thinks he might lose)

  I honestly enjoyed Super Mario Bros. Sure it only had like 10% in common with the games but seeing Toad being turned into a Goomba was hilarious. Street Fighter was also pretty great just for Raul Julia’s bombastic acting alone. Seeing these creative liberties being taken can be infuriating at first but after the dust settles they can still be fun to watch if only to see how much of a trainwreck they can be.

  Fuck anything by Uwe Boll though. He was an asshole and his movies were always painful to watch.

    Super Mario Bros is a high budget B-movie and it’s pretty charming for that. I enjoyed much of it, but I also kept reflexively punching the friend who made me watch rhe damn thing. It’s a bad movie, but bad movies can be fun. Plus, “Monkey!” is perhaps the greatest line ever penned.

    It might have been that the Mario movie was made by Illumination so I had almost no expectations going in but I did really enjoy it way more than I was expecting.

    It’s kinda weird how that company is definitely capable of producing a good movie and they’ve demonstrated that a few times but they kinda just choose not to

      They’re talking about the Super Mario Bros movie from 1993 with Bob Hoskins. It was a dark dystopian cyberpunk movie.

  Let’s not kid ourselves most games have a pretty generic story.

  • Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Definitely true, it highly depends on the genre though. You can’t expect a good story from an FPS game but they do exist. With RPGs it’s part of the experience.

  Street Fighter wasn’t just a generic script, it was a GI Joe script for a live action adaptation that hadn’t gone through. I wanna say they only got the Street Fighter license in order to salvage the project.

  Apparently the Mario Bros Movie actually had a good script that was much closer to source material, only for the directors to throw it out because they don’t do fantasy, only cyberpunk.

  Prince of Persia was at least partially written by Jordan Mechner, the creator of the series. Three other writers also got writing credits as well, but my understanding is that Mechner was involved throughout the process. Which is crazy because of just how bad it is compared to the Sands of Time.

  Similarly, Wing Commander was written and directed by Chris Roberts, which makes me wonder how he could get so much wrong. Though in retrospect, I’m kind of surprised it came out at all.

  Never played resident evil, but I remember the first movie being great

  • RaphaelSchmitz@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yeah in also confused why they think it was a generic script - the story as a whole wasn’t lifted from any of the games AFAIK, but it followed along definitly-RE plot points.

    Plus it was cool to see those things in real instead of not PS1/PS2 graphics, but ok that’s not about the story.

  The first hitman movie was at least… like, kinda fun?

  I remember bursting out laughing when he’s about to bang some lady and instead just jabs that giant syringe in her neck.

  Seconded that Hitman 2007 was a good movie.

  source

  • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I wouldn’t pehaps go so far as to say it was good but it was certainly enjoyable and they paid enough attention to the source material that they got a ton of the little details right.
