Jerry Bruckheimer is the man.

[Nappa]

There's Silent Hill as well.

[Raditzu]

The third only beats the first one because of speed kills, in my opinion. Fact is they did the first game and got it right the first time around. And that's something that's not nearly as common as it should be.

Damnit... now I'm going to have to go play through them again. Like... all of them. I never actually beat the Dahaka (sp?) in the second game. I got to him, then got owned, found a movie of the ending online and called it good. I hope I can find the Sands of Time.

Anyway, I'm now very excited about a movie.

[Nappa]

I'd like to see a Metal Gear Solid movie.

Wait, they already include them in every game.

Cutscenes FTW.

[Super Buu]

I was pissed that they didn't give PoP3 multiple endings. I mean, everything pointed to there being two endings! All the ads and all that bullshit, "are you going to be good or evil?!?!?!?!". Especially after Warrior Within (though I never bothered with the 'good' ending either).

Very worthwhile games, though.

Edit: If they made a MGS movie it would probably be successful purely for the patriotic bullshit that they love packing into the franchise.

[Raditzu]

Yeah, I was surprised that they didn't do that, too, Supes.

I don't think MGS would make the translation to the silver screen. Its too cinematic already, like you said. That said, I would go see an MGS movie a few times. Hell, they could just rip off one of the MGS plots and I'd go see the movie.

[Spencinator]

I wonder if they could pull off a Zelda movie?

[Nappa]

Or...maybe a DMC movie?

Or...a Diablo movie. Yeah...

[Spencinator]

Ya know, I bet they could pull a Zelda movie off! =o Just give Orlando Bloom the role of Link. XD XD XD XD

[Raditzu]

Zing.

[Super Buu]

DMC could be done. I would hate to see a Zelda movie. Diablo, no.

I'd love to see a Warcraft movie, though. It's been suggested many times that Blizzard makes a feature-length CGI, and I agree completely. Their CGI is probably the best I've seen in any game, ever. The ending cutscene for Frozen Throne always sends shivers up my spine, without fail.

[Nappa]

But Warcraft's ghey...

[Super Buu]

I really loved the lore until WoW. =(

Comparison of success of video game film adaptations
Super Mario Bros. - Failed at the box office and considered by many to be a mediocre movie, though it does have a cult following. A complaint is deviation from the source in conjunction with an excessively dark tone to the film.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $20,915,465
Street Fighter - Movie failed on one level to find a market amongst more general audiences while having enough deviations from the games to anger fans. This was the final film of actor Raul Julia.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $33,423,521
Double Dragon - Another box office bomb, it has been largely forgotten by audiences.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $2,341,309
Mortal Kombat - The first movie was well received by fans and was very successful at the box-office. Many felt that the first film embodied the storyline of the first two games perfectly. However, the second movie (which was to tell the tale of the second and third games, with references to the fourth game) only did half as well, and is very much hated by fans of both the game and original film; especially when it messed around with character backstory.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $70,454,098 (Mortal Kombat), $35,927,406 (Mortal Kombat: Annihilation)
Pok?mon - Supported by the successful anime series, the first Pok?mon movie is still the highest grossing anime film at the United States Box Office as of 2005.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $85,744,662 (Pok?mon: The First Movie), $43,758,684 (Pok?mon: The Movie 2000), $1,727,447 (Pok?mon 4ever), $746,381 (Pok?mon Heroes)
Wing Commander - Made with a low budget, the film was reviled by fans and was unsuccessful at the box office.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $11,578,059
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within - A flop receiving mixed reactions. It failed, primarily, to appeal to western audiences and thus a let down in expectations was also seen as factor. However, much of the Final Fantasy fandom agree that if the title "Final Fantasy" wasn't put in the title, the film could've done better as a stand alone movie by Square Studios.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $32,131,830
Resident Evil - Although it carried some fan hatred due to the involvement of Paul W.S. Anderson, it has proven to be a successful franchise with two sequels released and one more on the way. So far one of the strongest on-going video game film series.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $40,119,709 (Resident Evil), $51,201,453 (Resident Evil: Apocalypse)
House of the Dead - Intentionally created by Uwe Boll as an attempt at a cult film, it garnered hostile reaction by fans though it did make money through video sales.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $10,249,719
Tomb Raider - The first movie was a financial success, with the second film receiving mixed reaction and modest box office returns. Regardless a third movie is now planned, though it originally appeared that the planned trilogy ended prematurely.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $131,168,070 (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), $65,660,196 (Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life)
Alone in the Dark - Also directed by Uwe Boll, massive pre-release negative resenment by fans made it one of the worse performing films of 2005.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $5,178,569
Doom - Received mediocre reaction from fans and even worse reaction from critics. Debuted #1 at the box office but did not recoup its $70 million budget. A sequel has been planned, currently its fate depends on the DVD sales of the first movie.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $28,212,337
Bloodrayne - Also directed by Boll, this film was poorly received by critics, and achieved similarly poor results at the US box office. The film performed fairly well in Russia.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $2,405,420
Silent Hill - Directed by acclaimed director Christophe Gans and screenwriter Roger Avary, the film was highly anticipated as possibly becoming the next best video game adaptation. However, it received generally negative responses from critics upon release. Although the title has been well received amongst fans, who felt this movie kept much of the game's story intact thus far. The film was quite successful.
U.S. Box Office Gross: $56,982,632

[Kirano]

Bold = Ones I want to see now

EDIT: Bulma, hitman is on the list too.

[Nappa]

But it has Vin Diesel. Therefore...

It=poo.

[Kirano]

Hitman's coming out in 08. WHYYYY?!

[Jinpo]

They think that Timothy Olymphant is going to be Agent 47.

EDIT: That list isn't all correct. It's probably not as up to date as it could be.
