Let's face it, movies based on video games suck. Hard. There was BloodRayne, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Resident Evil Apocalypse, to name a few. Where did it begin? 1993: Super Mario Brothers, starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, as Mario and Luigi, based (somewhat)on the game. (Look closely and you can see an SNES Super Scope as one of the weapons!)
The entire movie is uploaded here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=37B4E46F68BD4C85

Dude, this was an AWESOME movie! Video game movies these days just can't touch it. I demand a sequel!

I was hoping the new Hitman movie would be at least decent, but they chose a shitty actor.

I really liked this too!
This was a full on punk reimagining that felt grungy and surreal and great.

Can't believe they never made a duck hunt movie.

The soundtrack of this trailer is really terrible.

I mean, not the original song itself, but here is repeated in a horrible loop!

I would have liked this movie better if they didn't call it Super Mario Bros. I'm usually all for darkening a property for the translation to film, but in this case I think that was a mistake. Imagine how true to the property they could be with today's effects.

Video game movies are the worst adaptation you can possibly do... When people go see a movie like Harry Potter or Lotr, they want to see the exact same thing they read... However, for video game movies, they not only try to do a new storyline, but they destroy the idea of the video game like this one... The only good video game movie was the first Mortal Kombat movie, all the rest were bad... Hopefully Hitman will be good (as a prequel to the hitman series)...
