Anyone else a fan of the video game movies we've gotten?

1.Need for Speed (2014) - 6-6.5/10 (somewhere between my 200-243rd favorite movie in general. i actually like this more than some of the Fast & Furious series.)

2.Hitman (2007) - 6/10 (looking at it in comparison to the actual video game character and how i think it should be done (i.e. more in the line of The American (2010)) it failed but looking at it more as a simple action variation it's good enough for a mild Thumbs Up. but basically i think if i went more along the lines of The American (2010) in terms of it's tone/atmosphere along with more of a character study it could be a quality movie i as i think the Hitman character is basically the most interesting video game character but since these 'video game turned movie' things are almost always out for a quick buck what i am asking is basically not going to happen and they turn into simple action movies basically which worked with the movie i listed above (Need for Speed) but it's not going to cut it for Hitman. also, the worst section in the movie is the sword fight scene as it fits with that character the least pretty much.)

3.Mortal Kombat (1995) - 5.5-6/10 (barely a thumbs up) (i actually seen this with my cousin opening day (Aug 18th 1995) as back then we were huge fans of the video game and still got nostalgia from those days as i feel that video game series peaked in 1995-1996 basically with UMK3 in the arcades. but with that said... on my most recent viewing on Dec 3rd 2015 it's fizzled a bit and just barely hanging onto Thumbs Up status as i would not be surprised if it's the nostalgia keeping it afloat as i think without that i probably would not be re-watching it anymore.)

the first movie from 2007 worked alright enough as a action movie but the 2015 movie did not work as it while it was mostly watchable, especially after the first 25-30min, in the end it's forgettable. i gave it a 5 but i would say it's closer to a 4(below average) than a 6.



i wished i thought the same as i thought it was a below average movie. i gave it a 4/10.

p.s. i played all of the video games back when they where new on the PC.



i think i have heard people mention this before on IMDb in the past when these kinds of topics come up but i thought it was forgettable.

but maybe those who like it, it's more of a atmosphere thing for you guys? ; or maybe that as a stand alone movie it was decent for the genre etc?

i could not even finish Warcraft due to boredom. it's a shame because the directors previous two movies are quite strong for me... Source Code (2011)(8.5-9/10)/Moon (2009)(8/10).

i never bothered with Assassins Creed as it looks like a pretty generic movie with a decent name actor in it is all. as far as Tomb Raider i think Angelina Jolie is about as good as one could be for the part but the movies themselves just tend to be forgettable. i never seen Prince of Persia as it just don't look like it would be worth giving a chance for me. i might have caught bits and pieces of Resident Evil stuff but it's pretty safe for me to say they are forgettable to.
