What’s the best movie/ Tv Show based on a video game?

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

It can be any movie as long as the origin of it came from a video game. For example: Mortal kombat, Sonic the hedgehog, Resident Evil, etc.

I’m open to all suggestions because they’re usually bad so I’m hoping wrong

[NamerOfStars]

In terms of general quality: the Witcher TV show (Wiedźmin, in Polish) is probably the best, but it's still not great; it only lasted one season.

In terms of total enjoyment, the Street Fighter movie. No, it's not *good*, in any sense of the word, but it has Raul Julia as the epitome of hammy, campy glory. And he took the role because he knew he was dying, and his grandkids loved the game, so they'd always be able to see grandpa commemorating something they loved, PLUS it meant that the press would leave him alone, so he could spend the last few months of his life in private with his family. As an additional perk, it showed how tough M. Bison really is; he can even kill the people PORTRAYING him.

In terms of faithfulness to the source material- no question here, it's the Postal movie. This was the one and only time anyone has ever heard that Uwe Boll was directing a movie and thought "Good, he's the correct choice for this project". It's cheap, cheesy, kinda incoherent, and the humor's brow is so low it looks up at Morlorcks, but that's exactly how the games were, so it fits perfectly.

Everything you said about the Witcher and the Street fighter is 100% how I feel

[MCheetah]

Sadly... Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Seriously.

Honorable mention to Detective Pikachu, but that movie was largely forgettable and no one's actually played the video game it's based off of.

Best TV show based on a video game, if it counts, is either Arcane based on League of Legends or Netflix Castlevania (although I personally haven't watched either, cause I don't mess with Netflix).

Now the WORST one? Is definitely, 100%, no-disputes Resident Evil on Netflix. Probably one of the worst shows I've seen of ANYTHING in a very long time. ... And I didn't even actually watch it. I just saw YouTube recaps.

I just saw the sonic movie and honestly I loved it but I refuse to watch any resident evil stuff because they’re always horrible

[MCheetah]

Even the CGI ones made by Capcom are horrible. I haven't seen a good Resident Evil show or movie yet.

[Pinay_ako]

[Astarlessnightsky]

The Netflix Castlevania Series, would be my first choice, i may be missing some but the Castlevania is among the best.

[Noodle_fan]

i like future cops (1993) it is street fighter parody , hilarious movie

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

Really?

[Noodle_fan]

i find it hilarious and entertaining , however it is old hongkong movie , so i am not sure if it is suits your taste

[ibodi]

[Kreneman]

Mortal Kombat (1995 film), Tekken (2022 Netflix TV show), Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 (2020 & 2022 films), and Street Fighter (1995 TV show).
