There may be worse ones, but off the top of my head, Wing Commander. So many problems, and it's weird, because the later games were FMV ones. Here's Wing Commander 1, in a cutscene:

2 used basically the same engine. 3, on the other hand...

Live-action video, with Malcom McDowell and Mark Hamill. Wing Commander 3 and 4, in cutscenes at least, were movies, with directed actors (and good ones, too) and everything. So when Chris Roberts, who MADE THE GAMES IN THE FIRST PLACE, went to make the movie, you'd think he'd do it right, no? I mean, why would he screw over his own creation? And no. No, he didn't do it right. It sucked like nothing I'd ever seen before. How bad was it? Well...

I went with my brother, also a fan of the games; it was the only movie I've ever seen the first showing of, opening night. In retrospect, it was very strange to see a theater so packed; every seat was taken- at the time, I just thought there were a LOT of Wing Commander fans, but video game popularity in the 90's was nothing, and I mean NOTHING, like it is today. The reason the theater was packed, however, was that Wing Commander had the first previews for The Phantom Menace. About a third of the theater got up and left after that aired. And I... I, who's never walked out of a movie in his life, still wish I'd gone with them. THAT is how bad it was.

Dragon ball evolution is definitely worse than the mario bros live action movie (the latter of which felt more like it belonged in the ninja turtle universe than the mario one). Though I have no idea if its THE worst animation to live action adaption, because I only know of a few others, and who knows what other garbage exists out there.

Battle angel alita and detective pikachu were success examples, and I heard that the avatar the last airbender live action was a bad movie, but it at least looked mostly like the show did.

DB evolution fucks up so many things about dragon ball, that aside from character names and a few basic concepts, nothing is left from the original series.

completely agree Besides names and attacks it misses what makes Dragonball a hit like did they read any of the manga when in either manga or anime does Piccolo want the dragonballs

[TheSpaceGnome]

The creator either did not read the manga/watch the anime/play the games at all, or they just have shitty taste and hated them and tried to make it teen angst "cool" because out of touch rich people tend to think thats what the cartoon watching audience wants (which always turns franchises into garbage)
