I had no idea that Persia was in England.

The Special effects are great in this movie and it looks to be loosely following the story which is fine. It's gonna look nice but the story seems like it's going to be a bit cliche.



And @symbyosis..Resident Evil wasn't terrible...I think that broke the trend of vg movies being complete trash to people in hollywood noticing that video games have the potential to have some indepth stories and experiences...and cash cows

You must take the dagger there! You must take it there and throw it in the volcano!!!



This movie is going to ROCK!!!! There is no video game to movie curse. There are PLENTY of good video game movies.

The movie's environment looks as beautiful as it's supposed to look.. looks promising.. but i wouldve enjoyed it much more if it wasnt PG and had blood and gore..... still will enjoy it anyways...

Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, BloodRayne, Silent Hill, Max Payne, Tomb Raider, Doom



These are all movies based on video games that turned out sub par, or horrible.

picked the worst character in the game to be champion of Earth Realm, Johnny Cage had everything from wisdom, to the best moves in MK1 to be the wise choice, I also didn't like how easily Sub-Zero and Scorpion died, the only thing that was awesome was the clip of Fear Factory playing while Scorpion was on screen.



Resident Evil's story had little to nothing to do with what is known as the game's story, that Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine stumbled on some massive conspiracy to genetically alter humans.



I have yet to see a GOOD video game movie, I still stand by Silent Hill (though it had lots of changes from the game) was the better video game movie, and even then it's not by any means "good".



Its all opinion...though, and Street Fighter's only good acting was done by the late Raul Julia. How the hell can Guile talk with a french accent and be from the "oo-ess-ay" like Van Damme said. LOL.

you guys forgot about HITMAN!!!! that movie was awesome too

@ lolwut - What excactly is your point? There have also been COUNTLESS bad movies in general!!! So does that mean there's a movie curse in general?



NO.



I also disagree. I thought some of the movies you listed were good.



This is all preference. I can't believe you mentioned the Tomb Raider series. Those movies did VERY WELL in the box office.

The Hitman movie was suuuuuppppeeerr rr boring and *****ty.I remember watching it, and there was only talking,and more talking.I thought that movie was gonna be good,thats why i watched it, but it totally changed my opinion.

Even though Tomb raider did decent in the box office, The critics gave it horrible ratings. 19% of critics liked the first one, and 23% liked the second one.



Mortal Kombat, I liked those movies, at least when i was younger, but now its easy to see many of the stunts and fake cgi, and the story is paper thin, and theres a reason why the actors in that movie aren't seen around lately.
