    "Why watch em when you play em"

17. Rampage wasn’t bad

18. You never saw hitman?

19. So we are just going to ignore Spider Man 2?

20. I believe that it's because the movies try to do what the games did, and there's one problem: movies aren't video games. You don't have the same rush and feelings when watching movies as you would a video game. Too many video game movies try to tell or retell the story of the game, and it removes the best part of most of those games: gameplay. Video game based movies need to focus on telling a new story within that universe to make it unique rather than trying to re-enact gameplay moments with slow motion action scenes and quick camera takes.

21. When you think about it video game movies are just cutscenes with a bigger budget

22. Pokemon movies:
    Am I a joke to you?

23. What about the first Mortal Kombat??? The movie is a masterpiece !!!

24. fallout 3, bioshock, and Wolfenstein would make for some great movies if the right directors and writers were to do them.
