More often than not the people who create the video game movie create their own version of the story that hits highlights but most of the time feels shallow and doesn't seem to understand the source material.

Resident Evil is one of my pet peeves in just play the first fucking game and write a script around that. An investigation/mystery that goes horribly wrong.

Uncharted is a decent movie if it was never associated with Uncharted. Like if they just made an adventure movie and released it and had no association with the game. It would be OK, however as an Uncharted Movie based on the game its utter dog shit. It's more like a script that was sitting unused on a shelf and they repurposed it for this movie. It doesn't understand or even try to be anything like the game. None of the characters really have any similarity to anything in the game. Play the first game, write your script about that. Thats a cool movie. No what they gave us.

Great books they tend to try and follow the major plot points when they make the movie. Not everything can or will translate but they can nail most of it. And when they do it becomes a great movie.

However games being made into movies are looked down upon by movie creators as a lesser form of entertainment. They think they can do better with an original story and just call the characters the same from the game.

One movie made had this happen but it wasn't a video game movie it was the Dark Tower movie where I believe the director says he barely read the books and only took bits and pieces of what he liked and to top it off claimed it was an alternate universe/version of the Dark Tower with an original story.

Like bitch read the fucking book and make that movie. Don't throw it all away and create your own version. No one gives a shit about that. Follow the book.
