->"If ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' was the first nail in the coffin of movies based on video games, then ''Wing Commander'' was the last, because--believe me--nobody ''ever'' took video game movies seriously after this [[FranchiseKiller complete and utter ruination]] of gaming's best original sci-fi saga. They shoulda just saved themselves a heap of trouble and put some kid's [[LetsPlay Let's Play]] of ''Wing Commander IV'' in theaters. Woulda made a lot more money."

->'''Sonic:''' All in all, it was a good kids movie and I'm glad the adult fans got what they wanted. [[TakeThatAudience Which caused a bunch of VFX artists to work insane hours only to get laid off and have the studio shut down once the movie was finished.]]\\

->'''Sonic:''' ->'''Tails:''' So what did you think of the movie?\\
'''Sonic:''' I mean, sure it had some flaws but honestly it was pretty good. And I'm not talking "pretty good for a video game movie good", I'm talking "good-good", ''[[Film/TheBeastmaster Beastmaster]]'' good!\\

->''Rule number one in making a movie about ''Street Fighter'' is to take the characters and have them fight. Rule number two shouldn't have to exist, but if it did, it would be filling the time between fights with musical training montages or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs musical montages of shorter fights]]. Ignoring these simple rules I just invented ten years after they made it, ''Street Fighter'' was so desperate to keep a fight from breaking out they went so far as to turn Dhalsim into a lab technician and Chun Li, E. Honda, and Balrog into telejournalists.''

->''I’m not even going to go into how the movie is nothing like the game because that would be shooting fish in a barrel. I’m talking about [[ClicheStorm cliches that were old 40 years ago]] and {{plot hole}}s you could drive a Mack truck through. The “mystery”, if you could call it that, doesn’t exactly need Franchise/SherlockHolmes to solve. Larry Holmes could solve it.''

->[...]That's a big part of why movie versions of video games struggle so much. Frequently, the narrative of the game is inseparable from it's structural and mechanical ambitions, and when you rip those things out to get a purely cinematic experience out of it, you're left holding something that is decidedly less impressive and engaging than when you started out with.
