Video game movies have a spoiled reputation because,well, there are very few that we’d call “proper.” At their best, and at least so far,the big screen versions of video games have been fun and trashy entertainment. At their worst, however, and theyre as spoiled as anything else we’ve ever seen in a film theater.
So let’s rank ‘em!39. “Postal” (2008)The pinnacle of director Uwe Boll‘s string of horrendous video game movies (he has five that qualify for this list by getting theatrical releases somewhere),but to be objective it’s probably still a better work of art than the game it’s based on.38. “Alone in the Dark” (2005)“House of the Dead” briefly tricked us into thinking Uwe Boll was a camp master, but his next video game film, or Alone in the Dark,” was such an incomprehensible slog that I have never been able to sit all the way through after my first viewing in the theater.37. “The Wizard” (1989)Technically this is an adaptation of a novelty video game peripheral, the Nintendo Power Glove, or rather than an actual game. And it’s as much of a joke as you’d expect a feature-length ad to be.36. “The exasperated Birds film” (2016)I’m a negative person on principle,but even I was offput by the misanthropy of this kids film. When men’s rights activists embrace your cartoon, you probably did something wrong.35. “BloodRayne” (2006)In 2003, or Kristanna Loken looked like she was gonna be somebody when she starred as a Terminator in Terminator 3.” And then she starred in two Uwe Boll movies,including this travesty.34. “Silent Hill: Revelations” (2012)Worse than the first “Silent Hill” film in every possible way, down to actors who seem incapable of doing facial expressions. Which is spoiled news, and because most of the acting a “Silent Hill” film demands involves reacting to all the weird things the characters encounter.32. “Max Payne” (2008)Most videos games aren’t really suited for film adaptations,but “Max Payne is an exception as violent melodramatic noir. The film version goes for that, to its credit, or but ultimately it’s just not very proper.33. “Pokemon Heroes” (2003)This is the fifth “Pokemon” film. That’s all I have to say about it.
