Apocalypse is the second Resident Evil movie, and it improves upon the first by letting Alice do more fighting. Where it falls behind the first is in its lack of Michelle Rodriguez. If Rodriguez was in your action-movie franchise one time, she should continue to be in it every time the Fast films know this , and since these Resident Evil movies become indistinguishable at a certain point, M.
Rod will serve as the primary ranking criteria. DOA gets a lot of points for being such a good-natured video-game movie. But unlike that movie or Mortal Kombat , hardly anyone dies.
Uwe Boll strikes again! Make no mistake about it: House of the Dead is a terrible movie, but it gets a nod for fully embracing its video-game roots. Cradle of Life did what all frivolous sequels do: It took the premise of the first movie and just added more.
More stunts! More action! More exotic locations! Fortunately for this not-quite-a-franchise, it still had Jolie, who became an action star in the middle of her career and looked like she was genuinely having fun playing Lara Croft. A solid middle-of-the-pack option. Retribution has more Michelle Rodriguez than Afterlife see below , so Retribution is higher on this list. It must be seen to be believed. For some reason a bunch of people who make decisions at a movie studio decided that Revelation was a necessary sequel six years after the original Silent Hill movie came out.
But hey, at least they committed. As a result, he pretty much disappears despite being in the lead role. The fight sequences are cool enough and Olga Kurylenko is fierce as a woman escaping sexual imprisonment, but it mostly just feels flat.
Marshall Raylan Givens just looks kind of awkward here, and it makes a silly genre work a little too hard to be serious. Afterlife is like Resident Evil: The Raid , where everyone is trying to get out of a tower filling up with bad guys. Annihilation just has too much going on, and in a movie about awesome-looking fights, no one wants to wonder where the narrative thread went. The sequel retains Robin Shou as the great Liu Kang, which is a good, but it loses Christopher Lambert, who just brought that extra-special something to the role of Rayden.
Alien vs. Predator was arguably the best film released during that period, and even the most hardcore fans are pretty critical of it. Oddly enough, this was a great time for Alien video games. Resurrection pretty much defined how first-person shooters are played on a console using two analog sticks. The tough, varied campaign easily rivals other, better known first-person shooters of the time.
This might be the most obscure game on the list. You actually have to answer questions based on the videos to progress through the game. Of all the horror franchises out there, Jaws seems one of the least likely to be turned into a video game, yet Appaloosa managed to create a flawed but fun take on the films in Rather than the hunt the titular shark, you play as Jaws, eating other sea creatures and people as you see fit to complete missions.
While not a terribly deep game, Jaws Unleashed is a lot of fun, coming across as an ultra-violent version of the Ecco the Dolphin games which Appaloosa also developed. George A. Only by collecting coffee can you stay awake. Released simultaneously with the Japanese horror film of the same name, Sweet Home received critical acclaim in the East for its intricate level design all of which takes place in one mansion , tricky puzzles, and overall creepy atmosphere. Interestingly enough, Capcom would later look to Sweet Home for inspiration when developing Resident Evil.
Despite its merits, the publisher has never released an official English language version of Sweet Home. Luckily, translated ROMs have been floating around the internet for years.
However, a sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation , was a critical and commercial disaster and a planned third film in the franchise was cancelled. There is more Mortal Kombat movie magic on its way, though, with the reboot, produced by James Wan, set for release in April First released in , open-world action-adventure stealth game Assassin's Creed follows the battle between the Assassins, who represent freedom and the Templars, who represent order.
The series has produced 12 main games, most recently 's Valhalla , and has also led to a spin-off film in the form of 's Assassin's Creed. The movie boasted an all-star cast including Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson and Charlotte Rampling, and while it was set in the same universe as the game, it told an original story which expanded on the series mythology.
The Hitman series began with 's Hitman: Codename 47 and was praised for its inventive approach to stealth gameplay. The eight main games follow Agent 47, the eponymous hitman, who works for the fictional International Contract Agency ICA , with players tasked with eliminating various targets while remaining as stealthy as possible. While it performed well at the box office, it was negatively reviewed and a planned sequel was cancelled during production. A reboot, Hitman: Agent 47 , saw Rupert Friend take over the lead role - Paul Walker had been attached to the role but died before the film made it to production - and Zachary Quinto join the cast.
However, you guessed it, the movie was panned. The Prince of Persia series - based on various incarnations of the eponymous Prince from ancient and medieval Iran - has been rebooted twice and even inspired the Assassin's Creed franchise. While there were hopes that Prince of Persia could be the next Pirates of the Caribbean for producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the movie only received mixed reviews, although was a success at the box office.
Angelo becomes a bonafide action hero. Actually, some of them are even better than the property they are based on. If you must play it, however, be sure to play this game on the Sega CD in order to enjoy the hilariously awful live-action story segments.
From a movie that had no business being turned into a halfway decent game, we move to a TV show which could have been turned into a good game if the developers had any idea what they are doing. From Dusk Till Dawn could have been a great game. The premise of the From Dusk Till Dawn game is based on the idea that Seth Gecko gets sent to prison for crimes his brother committed. Soon enough, vampires invade this prison, and Seth is tasked with clearing them out.
So far so good, but From Dusk Till Dawn falls apart when you actually play the game. This entry begins our brief block of all-time bad movies that were turned into video games anyway. Why would anyone ever make a game based on such a film? To make fun of it, of course! Yes, Manos: The Hands of Fate is a parody game, and a pretty brilliant one at that. Rounding out our block of all-time awful movies that received video game adaptations is Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Much like Manos , the Plan 9 video game is not meant to be taken seriously. Actually, their take on the property is arguably one of the most conceptually brilliant adaptations the gaming world has ever seen. That means solving puzzles, interviewing witnesses, and enduring quite a few dialog segments.
