Games that became movies

Hi its GREAT DANE, the Gamer again, Today i want to elaborate on the movies they create from video games, As a child growing up, i use to wonder when will they make another movie for my next favorite video game, take for example Mario bros, Mario brothers video game was released in  1985, i was born in 1982, so i was about 3 years old when this awesome game was released, so it took me 8 years after the game was released before i was able to play the game, i use to sit and wonder, at the age of 10 being the little intelligent brat i was, i often wondered to myself will they ever make a movie or cartoon for this epic game, and then after 11 years after the video game was released, there it was in 1993, they made the first Mario bros movie, here is an example of the first Mario bros movie and video game...

I remember watching that movie trailer as a kid and i was so excited and dying for the movie to be released. On the release of the movie i went to the theaters like any other excited kid to see this classic movie, But i was a bit disappointed, the characters could have used a bit of improvement, The movies theme music was not anything like the game for starters, it was totally different. In the movie Mario and Luigi were father and son, but they call their plumbing job Mario Bros, In the game the characters are Italian, but in the movie, the Character Mario is A BRITISH NATIONAL AND LUIGI IS ITALIAN, Even the villain sucks, in the epic game King Koopa is a Dragon looking kinda Dinosaur, But instead in the movie he is a human being, SO DISAPPOINTING.and every thing is wrong with every other character in this movie, i went home sobbing, But they did represent for the game, so i give them a bit of a props for that. Anyway there was also Ninja Turtles, Mortal Kombat, Pokemon, Double Dragon,Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Doom, and one of the best movies to me in my opinion based off an epic game is SILENT HILL, I found no fault whatsoever in that movie, the characters were exactly alike and it had every single feature that the game has. The point i am trying trying to get at though is the movie industry needs to put some more work in on these movies based off games, So it can be as exciting. What are your take on these movies based off games...
