reviews are starting to come in for Assassin's Creed on RT, and unsurprisingly it looks like it will continue the oil and water mixture of video games and movies

Movie based on video games.
There's been some good to great Movie based games, while the best Videogame movie is "alright" at best

If you consider "Wreck-It Ralph" a video game movie, then it trumps all movie based video games combined.

The Thing on PS2 is brilliant, the PSX Alien games were great with Resurrection changing console fps's forever and the Disney platformers were classics.
Meanwhile people hold up Silent Hill and Mortal Kombat as the best vg movies when they are flawed fun (the latter) and alright (the former)

What the hell is the point of this thread? Just discuss games related to movies, or vice-versa?
The only video game-based movies I enjoyed were Mortal Kombat and Silent Hill.
Games I like that are directly based on the plots of movies: - Bram Stoker's Dracula (Genesis) - Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade (PC) - The Thing (PS2 / Xbox / PC) - The Terminator (Sega CD) - Aliens (Arcade) - Terminator 2: The Arcade Game (Arcade / SNES / Genesis) - Batman (NES) - Batman (Genesis) - Batman Returns (NES / SNES)

I was going to say games based on movies, then I remembered Wolverine:Origins was soooooo much better than the movie. The Warriors was great fun and actually expanded on the movie. Mad Max was a blast for the first 1/4(which also turned out to be the 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4)
I couldn't think of a single movie based on a game I would ever watch again.

Do they still do video games based on movies?
I can't seem to recall many, if any recent ones other than the Lego games. They had movies like Suicide Squad, X-Men Apocalypse, Independence Day etc which back in the p2/ps3 era would have tie ins.
I can't think of many PS4 video games based on movies other than Lego and, wasn't there a Mad Max game?

The only movie based on a video game that I thought was halfway tolerable was Mortal Kombat. Once you get beyond the EXTREMELY dated/cheesy effects, it's a fun little movie.
I've played more than one video game based on a movie that was enjoyable, so yeah.

Yeah, there are more good games based on movies than the alternative. It's too hard to adapt a completely interactive medium into a medium with no interactivity whatsoever.

I will admit that I have not seen too many movies based on games, but out of the ones that I have seen, I have read that the first Silent Hill movie was actually decent. I am willing to give the Resident Evil movies a go, as they seem like cheesy action-horror films, then again I still have yet to play a game. I remember enjoying the first Tomb Raider movie when I saw it and I still have yet to see Cradle of Life. As for anything else, the thing about the Dead or Alive movie is that it has that guilty pleasure vibe for me and the ladies are hot, but I am able to see all of the issues that film has. So if anybody tells me that it sucks, I won't argue and I will go along with it, but I still enjoy it at the same time.
As for games based on movies, I saw that someone mentioned GoldenEye. That game is still considered a classic now. I also liked the game based on The World is Not Enough.

The Sega Genesis version of Aladdin still holds up to this day, whereas most movies based on video games don't hold up for 3 weeks.

There are a fair amount of good games based on movies, but no good movies based on games. While I liked the Mortal Kombat movie when I was a kid, it's aged horribly.

Video games based on movies are actually pretty consistently good, in my experience. The Spider-Man games based on the first two Sam Raimi movies, Batman Begins (really good stealth game), everything Lego based on a film series, and the first couple Harry Potter games are all fun to play.

I thought Hercules and Tarzan for the ps1 were solid games too. Disney had a virtual monopoly on the high-quality movie tie-in games back in the 8-bit and 16-but era. At the time it seemed like budgets for licensed games were 90% spent on acquiring the license and 10% on developing the game. Rare was it when a game based on a movie wasn't just a generic platformer with some graphics that made it look vaguely like the movie it was supposed to represent slapped on.
