I liked Spirits Within... 
I've never really gotten all the hate it engenders. Same with the Super Mario Bros movie.

Okay guys, this was the greatest episode so far.
But i must say, i liked Street Fighter and Mario Bros at least a bit.
It is probbably just the nostalgia speaking, but they were so "cartoony" and funny, i never took them seriously.
While modern videogame adaptations try to be serious and fail with it and become pathatic.
Sorry for my bad english, german speaking person on the keyboard.

What about House of the Dead? That movies only connection to the games was that there was a house involved loosely. ...oh yeah and zombies.
On a related note, I thought the Mortal Kombat movie was actually quite good. You have to admit that, at the time, it was the truest to the source material. After all what was the basic plot of Mortal Kombat? Outworld wanted to take over Earth, but in order to do that they had to defeat Earth's greatest warriors in a tournament. So Shang Sung, working for Outworld, hosts the tournament and Earths greatest warriors are gathered to fight there. Is that not what happened in the movie?

No mention of TOMB RAIDER?!?
Well...in all fairness, Jolie actually DID look like Lara Croft, BUT STILL...

I´d say super mario brothers (because it´s so bizarre while also hilariously bad) is one of the best alongside Mortal Kombat (the best of the lot), the first resident evil and House of the dead. Final Fantasy was also pretty good, and you could argue that it followed the spirit of the final fantasy, as they are known for having self-contained universes and stories, like the movie. And the story in the movie did feel a lot like a FF story, with the thing in the planet and all that. I consider it along the best film to movie adaptations, though it isnt exactly a masterpiece, it´s still a pretty good sci-fi movie, though nonsensical at times (just like the games...).
Kind of sad when you think of it, but considering what they have to work with, it isnt shocking that these adaptations often turn to shit.

I enjoyed watching the Super Mario Bro's movie. Not for being a good Mario movie but for being god damn funny. Also, the Belgium guy playing Guile was funny. Nothing beat Bison and his "and Satan descended to Earth from Heaven, LIKE LIGHTNING!" Everything he said was fucking genius.
"For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday."
How is that not epic?

FF game have nothing to do with other FF games
I like mario bros and MK in their time
The worst videogame movie adaptation is The King of fighters

I'm not usually one to defend Dead or Alive, but I'd say it's about as good as a DoA movie can get. I mean decent fights, boobs, a plot that makes no damn sense but at the same time doesn't take itself too serious and gratuitous beach sports. That describes both the game series and the movies perfectly.
