Friday Faceoff: Planet XBox 360 & Complex Debate The Best Video Game Movie Adaptations Of All Time


PLANET XBOX 360 #1 PICK & COMPLEX #1 PICK: Resident Evil (2002)

Planet XBox 360 Says: This is the single movie that will forever remind directors and fans that a video game can "successfully be turned into a movie", not perfect but far above the rest.

Complex Says: Gonna have to agree with you on this one. Resident Evil is definitely closest Hollywood has ever come to creating an adaptation that plays less like a half-baked "video game movie" and more like an actual entertaining horror movie. Even the sequels weren't half bad.

    You guys forgot about the abysmal Doom film as well as the corny ass Super Mario Movie. The Resident Evil series as a whole stayed pretty true to it's gaming roots. Good choice making it # 1

    I quite liked this feature, first time I have seen you guys do this (just recently began visiting the site) look forward to future articles such as this. Not something you see too often on the Internets.

    I'm going to have to disagree with the poster who said the Street Fighter movie was crap. Jean Claude saves the world...nothing more needs to be said about why that movie was amazing.
