* The \'\'Film/ResidentEvil\'\' movie was considered a success by some people(if even that many). A lot of the credit can go to the fact that it wasn\'t adapted from the plot of the game; the writers took the premise and wrote another, more movie-friendly story to go with it. And Milla Jovovich. And Sienna Guillory in the sequel. Oh, \'\'my\'\'.
** The first movie had its merits, the later two movies were just good examples of TheyJustDidntCare as they turned what was originally supposed to be a horror series into a generic \'\'AeonFlux\'\' Hollywood action girl movie clone. What makes matters worse is that the DVD behind the scenes bonus in the second movie, admits this. Complete with the actresses smiling while saying it.
** The first two movies at least tried to keep with the game\'s timeline. The third movie broke canon and turned more into a MadMax AfterTheEnd movie with zombies. The fourth one then proceeded to add \'\'ResidentEvil5\'\'-type monsters, which don\'t make much sense as the storyline has deviated beyond the games timeline. The overall consensus seems to be that they\'re goofy yet sort of watchable as popcorn action flicks, but absolutely horrible as \'\'ResidentEvil\'\' movies.

** The movie would be even better if not for ExecutiveMeddling. The differences between script and movie being: 47 being hunted by Spetsnaz instead of other \\\"agents\\\", the whole affair being a XanatosGambit played by the KGB agent, a couple of action scenes more and no [[StockFootage recycled footage]] from completely different TV series. And yes, 47 is even more of a [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] in the script.
* Ahem...\\\'\\\'Film/TheWizard\\\'\\\'. It\\\'s not even based on any video game (though it has \\\'\\\'very\\\'\\\' blatantly obvious ProductPlacement), but somehow manages to be watchable through almost ninety straight minutes of [[{{Narm}} cheese]].
** Though that may be due to [[NostalgiaFilter Nostalgia Filtering]].
* \\\'\\\'Film/MaxPayne\\\'\\\': The story and characters are totally stock and bares only a passing resemblance to the source material (the biggest complaint is the decision to excise the overly gritty, intentionally [=~So Bad It\\\'s Good~=] PurpleProse narration from all but the beginning), but it doesn\\\'t completely fail (it was financially successful). The film is a standard revenge shoot em up, and Max isn\\\'t exactly that likable of a lead to begin with (although he had a \\\'\\\'lot\\\'\\\' more personality in the games), but several sequences are visual stand outs. YourMileageMayVary of course.
** Basically, ignore the story and skip the first half-hour of the movie. Once the sky sets itself on fire the movie gets [[strike:a lot more]] watchable.
* \\\'\\\'NightTrap\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'[[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xlkkt_night-trap-the-movie_parties The Movie]]\\\'\\\' showcased this trope in an unexpected way, taking a cult-classic [[FullMotionVideo \\\"interactive movie\\\"]] and removing the interactivity, leaving all the delicious SoBadItsGood {{camp}} intact.
* \\\'\\\'[[TheLegendOfZelda The Hero of Time]]\\\'\\\', loosely based off of OcarinaOfTime, wasn\\\'t horrible for a completely fan-made movie. Still, there was some major {{narm}}, and Zelda purists are likely to be furious after seeing it.
* \\\'\\\'[=~Sonic The Hedgehog: The Movie~=]\\\'\\\' is an enjoyable OVA with likeable characters (Though a bit underdeveloped), and plot that perfectly capture the feel of the older Sonic the Hedgehog games, though not great. In particular, the action scenes are nothing short of cool. Also, the soundtrack was pretty cool, (although YourMileageMayVary with the English dub voices). Despite sharing neither setting nor storyline with any of the games outside of a superficial level, the film makes up for this by being [[GuiltyPleasure Flawed, yet enjoyable]].
