Double Dragon, SMB, Street Fighter... Actually every game based movie is terrible.
Total Recall on NES is absolutely dreadful.
Well, Mortal Kombat was a tolerable film. The sequel sucked, but for a video game based movie, it was quite enjoyable.
As for games based on movies, two I've not seen mentioned that sucked:
A Nightmare on Elm StreetFriday the 13thBoth on the old NES. Terrible.
Me thinks we have AVGN fans in the audience.
Yes. Yes I am. But it's true. They were pretty terrible.

I'm kind of surprised to find out how many people actually enjoyed the first MK movie. Even as a teen I thought it was pretty dull, not to mention very tame. A live action version of Mortal Kombat should resemble something like Story of Ricky.
True. I'm assuming that if they went for the hard R rating, or even unrated, it could've been better. Or extremely over the top and cheesy. Considering it IS a video game movie based primarily around fighting, it wasn't too too bad.
I keep hearing persistent rumors about another sequel/remake/reboot. If it DOES happen, I'd love to see it more violent and such.
