But games are about the player getting to engage with and explore the world and story at their own pace and shows let it aorta slow down too.

Really the answer seems to be take the world and make your movie in it as needed to make the story engaging.

The recent mortal kombat movie, Mario movie, detective pikachu and sonic movies show that it works. Also don't mess with the characters to much if you include them.

Arcane too

I see BTiLC reference, I upvote. Simple.

I enjoyed it as well.

I hate that movie so much. I mean it was done pretty well and all but one scene pisses me off.

The first time she goes to hell dimension she gets up from the floor by grabbing a perfectly sized metal pipe. Which is the first weapon you use in the first two games. I'm like oh shit it's on now. But she didn't take the pipe with her. It seemed like a deliberate fuck you to fans of the games.

If I had never played the games I'd probably like the movie a lot more.

Honestly the latest one was good too

Check out the first Mario Bros movie (1993 I think?) if you want to feel your brain vomit out your ears. How they got to that story with the source material is anyone's guess.

Does the Gran Turismo movie count as a "video game" movie? I haven't watched it but I know the general plot and that Gran Turismo is essentially a driving sim with no storyline (most recent one I played was GT4).

I think of it like if there was a movie about an avid Flight Simulator player has to land a passenger jet after both pilots are incapacitated, I wouldn't consider it a video game movie. Maybe that's how they remake Airplane! though.

I really don't agree with the rating on some of these. I thought "In the name of the king" was quite enjoyable, as was the original 1995 Mortal Kombat.

Yeah I'm not sure it was that good but it's fun to watch.
