Top 11 Worst Video Game Movies in History. Why top 11 ? Because I am always one step above.

Why are video game movies doomed to suck? Video games have the potential to be just as good as a movie, both as a story telling and an entertainment device. The problem is these days, video game movies are made with one purpose in mind: feature length advertisements. Most, if not all, of the video game based movies that have come out so far have come out around the same time at the peak of their inspiration's popularity, just enough to squeeze a few more dollars out of the spoiled gamers' parents' pockets before their fickle minds move on to the next retina destroying video game title.

#3. Doom (2005)

Doom is given credit for being the first true multiplayer FPS, one where you could be sitting next to the person you just shot in the back. While other games created the genre, Doom redefined it. Before Doom, FPS's were played in a linear manner shooting only computer generated enemies, but thanks to id Software we now have games like Counter-Strike and Halo. True, had Doom not done what it did, someone else would have, but we got it sooner than expected. Now to trying to make such an important game in the history of gaming into a movie would be quite a task and director Andrzej Bartkowiak thought he had the vision for the movie. He was ,however, sorely mistaken. It's never really clear which of the Doom games this is based off of. While the environment resembles that of Doom 3, the storyline doesn't go along at all with any of the games

#2. Street Fighter (1994)

Street Fighter� is bad for a number of reasons. There's the script, the story, the acting, yada yada yada. Let's get to the heart of the matter. It takes one of the most beloved video game franchises ever and gives its fans a roundhouse kick to the head. It stars Jean Claude Van Damme playing the American Guile with a French accent, which is just confusing. But most of all, it was the great Raul Julia's last role in a major motion picture before his untimely death.

#1. Super Mario Bros. (1993)

One of the all time great games, a game that has a character so noticeable that pretty much everyone in the free world could probably say his name from just a little picture or description of the game. There have been so many off-shoots and remakes of this game that pretty soon one would think they will run out of ideas. This character is known as Mario, and he has been Nintendo's powerhouse character for nearly 20 years. We all know the story, save the princess, kill Koopa/Bowser, and have a happy little ending. Apparently the multiple directors of this movie, never played the game. While a play by play exactly of the game may get a little boring, the only similarity between the game and movie is the saving princess part. I don't remember Koopa having a plot to turn every human into a monkey, but I may have just skipped that part I guess. The movie itself is a decent one to watch if you have no desire to see the Mario Bros. storyline. Somehow they turned the cheery and fun world into a dark and depressing city run by an evil dictator who evolved from a T-Rex. Personally I think they could have done a better job of following the story, while still making it exciting.
