Super Mario Bros. had some fun moments and a pretty great soundtrack, but it was plagued by script and production problems. It arguably had potential, but it was squandered by its two directors making contradictory decisions and studio interference.

Double Dragon was shit.

Raul Julia's performance in Street Fighter was amazing. Unfortunately, every other part of that movie sucked. Similarly, the only part of The King of Fighters that I enjoyed was every time Ray Park was on screen.

Mortal Kombat was a pretty good adaptation of the video game, but I just couldn't buy French Raiden. Also, it proved popular enough for a shitty, shitty sequel. I shouldn't hold a sequel against the original film, but god damn, Mortal Kombat Annihilation was so terrible that I have to.

I haven't seen it in years, but I'm pretty sure Tomb Raider was an enjoyable movie.

Resident Evil actually did a pretty great job of telling an original story loosely set in the Resident Evil universe.

I haven't seen Doom, Hitman, or Warcraft.

Though it's not on the list, DOA: Dead or Alive was actually a pretty good movie. It's probably the best live action movie based on a fighting game. But it's not the best movie based on any video game.

That honor goes to Gyakuten Saiban. It didn't completely capture the silliness of the games, but it did an upstanding job of adapting the first game to a live action movie.
