Fun fact: Raul Julia who played M. Bison in the live action street fighters movie was actually dying of stomach cancer, he took the role of said character because his kids adored the franchise and he wanted to be in a movie that they'd enjoy.
@@crownefarious8436 i'm not saying that it was fun he was dying, this was just an interesting and rather heartwarming fact i didn't think you would be offended.

Uncharted is Uncharted… Not as in it was great, like the game… I mean it didn’t chart, it was disappointing. That movie really didn’t fucking make me want another one, give me Nathan Fillion and I might come back.
When it comes to Detective Pikachu, I loved how you could just tell the directors and writers of the movie knew their audience. Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu was something I'd never expect to work! And yet...it did. The movie is one of the best when it comes to world building. I've heard the argument that this movie didn't do any world building because it was done in the games/anime but the world built in the movie feels uniquely its own. World building isn't just about telling us what's in this world, it's also about convincing us that the world is lived in and that there are stories going on outside of the main story.
It is also the only actual Pokemon videogame movie. The others i have a harder time with calling them as such, they are a tie-in with the anime, which is an (loose) adaptation of a manga that was an adaptation of the videogame.
Being from Idaho, no one gave a crap about Sonic the Hedgehog when I was a kid in the early 2000s. I was picked on for my passion for it; what those kids did not realize is that Sonic is what kept my spirits high during awful times at home. Years later, it's funny see those kids who picked on me grow up to have children who love Sonic and thus buy Sonic stuff for them. Case in point, Sonic 2 was the movie I wanted for so long and now it seems those people finally get why Sonic is beloved and how he comforted so many after all these years. Paramount got it right and I'm excited for Sonic 3.
A lot of the Mortal Kombat 1995 movie was filmed in Thailand! The temple in the background at 9:23 is called Wat Chaiwatthanaram, which was built back in Ayutthaya in 1630 by King Prasat Thong as the first temple of his reign and a memorial for his mother. It was designed in Khmer style to gain Buddhist merit. Ayutthaya was once a big kingdom with the city as its capital that lasted from 1351 to 1767. King Rama I, who founded Bangkok, is from there. Other temples used for the movie's production were Wat Phra Si Sanphet and Wat Ratchaburana (both in Ayutthaya as well). The arrival of Earth's contestants via boats, Liu Kang's meditation scene and the fight between Liu Kang and Kitana were filmed at the Railay Beach and the Phra Nang Beach. Say what you want, but the movie did a good job showcasing Thailand to the world. And speaking of Goro: Goro was portrayed by an elaborate $1 million animatronic created by Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis of Amalgamated Dynamics and operated by 13 to 16 puppeteers! Because of how advanced it was, it kept breaking down, and the person operating Goro from inside could only do so for two minutes at a time due to lack of oxygen, so its screentime was reduced.
I'll say Uwe decision to fight his critics is a lot less impressive when he didn't fight some of them that, you know, have a background in fighting. One of his major detractors was Seanbaby, who was a critic that actually knew how to fight, and he evaded him like the plague to protect his own ego. Seanbaby even challenged him directly, after he fought some critics. That makes him seem even more childish.
I’m 35 and I stil VIVIDLY remember that first Pokémon movie in theraters and the ash stone scene! It doesn’t deserve low ratings from ppl who wasn’t there at the time! That movie in theaters was EVERYTHING

Although, most fans know Damian Chapa as Miklo from the movie Blood. Ming Na-Wen might be the ONLY actor to be part of Marvel & Capcom related media She also played agent May in Agents Of Shield
the uncharted movie, actually kinda FEELS like the game though, starting in the middle of batshit insanity, cutting to a flashback, that progresses up to where everything started, then the "final act" happens, like its a mid movie, but it felt more like it was trying to imitate the way the game told its story, than any other game movie ive seen.
He missed a lot of other video game Movies. Kof(live action) Final fantasy advent children Street fighter generations Streetfighter alpha movie Street figher 4. Etc
@@ForrestFox626 Regardless of that, it’s still a good movie. If it was it’s own movie, it probably would have gotten better reception but even today it has a cult following, myself included.
Super Mario Bros was shooting at the same time as Jurassic Park, so the comment about "every dinosaur movie had to look like Jurassic Park" is incorrect. Even people on the Jurassic Park crew came to see and admire how good Yoshi looked
I would say that th pokemon movies are less video game movies but anime movies, they after the big hit of the anime, which was more based of a comic based off the game, and when directly connected to the anime as a big adventure for the anime characters. The anime and games were very different form each other too...
I came to the comments to say this same thing. It only bothered me because he spent so much time talking about Pokémon movies and I dont consider those video game movies at all, lol
I hold a theory as to why Daisy was in the 90s Mario movie instead of Peach. See, at the time of the movie’s release, Peach was still known as “Princess Toadstool” in the west; her Japanese name of Peach wasn’t used in a big title until Super Mario 64. However, Daisy _was_ named in her appearance in Super Mario Land. Given the creators obviously had very little knowledge of the source material, I think they saw a princess be named in Super Mario Land, looked at absolutely nothing else, and assumed that Daisy was the same character as Princess Toadstool and so the princess in the movie was named Daisy because of that.
It's funny cause my parents watched Uncharted and had no clue it was based on a game until I told them, but even before I told them, they thought it was a waste of time. On the other hand, my gf thought it was really good and thought it was one of the best movies she's ever seen.Then there's me, a pretty hardcore gamer that's only played the multiplayer of Uncharted 3. Even without a strong connection to the games, I refused to watch it, purely because the terrible casting made it look like a cash grab
As a child up until the age of 11, I was a super fan of the Mario franchise, I had no clue that a movie was made in 1993 and when I found out I was so excited to see what that was like, and then I searched up the trailer on Google and was instantly traumatized, so scarred to the point that it took me 2 years to finally watch it. It was one of my proudest fears I ever conquered lol
You forgot about the anime Tekken game from the late 90s that took place between Tekken 2 and 3 released prior to Tekken 3 on the PS1. Ironically the first live action film takes place between 4 and 5 and can technically take place right before the CGI movie.
I have a HUGE soft spot for Prince of Persia. I know everyone hates it, but i actually think Disney cranked out a fun movie. It had humor, it had action. I still love it to this day
As of this writing, I've seen 40 of these but you've got me beat! Some people who try this always forget about the animes, so I appreciate that, my man. This was great. I hope you keep re-uploading and adding to this. The ones I liked best: 10. DOA: Dead or Alive (2006) 9. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022) 8. The Angry Birds Movie (2016) 7. Resident Evil (2002) 6. Tomb Raider (2018) 5. Uncharted (2022) 4. Lara Croft:Tomb Raider (2001) 3. Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) 2. Mortal Kombat (1995) 1. Silent Hill (2006)
My understanding of the response to the Warcraft movie... WoW players didn't seem to like it much... Because contrary to what you think in this video, and what a lot of people thought at the time... It is not for WoW players. It was for original Warcraft the strategy game players. And as such, I loved it.
Before the live action Mario movie was even released, some Nintendo executives originally wanted the movie to stick closer to the games. There was even an early draft called “Drain Man,” since the script was very similar to “Rain Man.” Unfortunately, they hired a Husband and Wife duo of TERRIBLY incompetent directors who kept rewriting the script every day. So most of the actors didn’t even bother remembering the lines. And those two were the ones who hated the Mario games and wanted the movie to be like Max Hedroom. Also also, one of their original pics they wanted to direct the film was Harold Ramis (aka Egon from Ghostbusters), who was also a fan of Mario.
Everyone forgets Cloak & Dagger which is the ACTUAL first video game movie. It's based on an existing arcade game. It WAS going to have an Atari 5200 game that never came out, which is why some people don't count it, BUT THE GAME WAS IN ARCADES FIRST.
Don’t know anything about the game but that movie was a weird snooze fest….a lil kid is running around with a game cartridge in his back back that has secret military stuff on it the bad guys want,and the kid’s imaginary friend fights the bad guys….like what…😶😶
@@AdamAddictL Oh yeah, no, it's not very good, but it is historically significant. There's also tons of shots of unreleased games in the background and advertisements for the 2800 (japanese Atari.)
@@anactualmotherbear I mean,I don’t know enough to agree or disagree,and HELL I don’t even fault the movie for letting the kid have an imaginary friend,cuz like that’s what kids do right? But when the kid’s imaginary friend just….MAGICALLY BECOMES REAL to help him out AND gets SHOT AND KILLED,it lost me 😂😂😂
The most painful video game movie is the one that never happened; the flop fighter jet movie Stealth was originally intended to be a Star Fox movie. I'm one of the few people who will defend Stealth as at least grudgingly okay, but as a avid Lylat Wars fan I will forever wonder what could have been. Also you seem to have missed Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children/Complete and Street Fighter Assassin's Fist. While neither were mind blowing, Advent Children basically spawned an entire sub genre of fight scenes and is directly responsible for RWBY, and Assassin's Fist was at least relatively faithful to the franchise roots. They were both shown in cinemas here in the UK so they should have been included, especially since Advent Children is the canon continuation of the FF7 story.
Honestly coming back to watching this channel and its content is nostalgic for me, hell I remember watching him for the first time more than a few years ago 😊
Resident Evil: Extinction was the first film of that series that I watched and... yeah, I was rather confused. I hadn't played any of the games yet at that time, but I still had a pretty good idea of what they were like and that film definitely was not what I was expecting. Connor's Mad Max comparison seems fitting.
Good lord I literally only got through a few seconds of that crappy Mario movie once I saw Mario with Luigi I literally turned it off and I was why in the world is Mario a old man while Luigi is literally looks like he’s in high school aren’t they supposed to be twin brothers????!!!!!!
Perfect timing. With The Super Mario Movie coming next month. HOPEFULLY it'll be better and makes up the horrible mistakes the 1993 one did and we can FINALLY pretend that one no longer exists! 🍿🎥
Another thing to add to this would've been the five nights at freddy's movie. Like it's technically an indie horror game released back in 2014 that everyone was scared of. But then they grew on it, and eventually the fanbase was large. Now that there's a fnaf movie coming through, I wasn't sure if I would watch it, I can't stand horror movies. But since I've been in the fandom at one point, I'll try to. But the problem is like the Sonic movie syndrome, which the animatronics have red eyes that upset a lot of the fans. Now they're trying to make the studio to fix them, and I don't think it's gonna work in time. And then there's a live action Minecraft movie coming soon...
Technically Resident Evil Degeneraton, Damnation, and Vandetta are not video game based movies like those god awful live action films. They are meant to act as filler taking place between 5 and 6. Damnation and Vandetta are set after after 6 but before 7. In fact, Capcom has confirmed said three films I mentioned are CANON. This is because Capcom directed, produced, wrote, and created the three films. They supervised everything and made sure these three films STRICTLY followed canon to a T-virus. So, your opinions don’t matter here. Weather you like or hate these three films, they are canon and can not be uncanonized since Capcom says they’re canon.
I don't remember who said it but the best ya I heard someone review the DOA movie was "I'd describe the plot for you...but I'm still not sure there was one."
The main flaw with Double Dragon movie is it’s a very unfaithful adaptation of the the Double Dragon arcade game. It’s not in post apocalyptic New York, the main antagonist isn’t Willy Mackey, it’s not a serious tone movie, the Lee Brothers aren’t wearing the iconic costumes, Marian doesn’t get kidnapped, and most of the movie doesn’t show 2 component badass protagonists smashing bad guys. Also most of the weapons are absent in this unfaithful abomination. Double Dragon can be greatly improved with a hardcore Rated R serious tone remake that is very faithful.
If they make video game movies, could there be a doors movie? It would be better than *suffering with entities such as some dude screaming SURPRISE CHICKENS YOU. JUST. GOT. AMBUSHED! Out of nowhere.* that'd be a hot line for ambush.
fun fact: Raul Julia who played M. Bison in the live action street fighters movie was actually dying of stomach cancer, he took the role of said character because his kids adored the franchise and he wanted to be in a movie that they'd enjoy.
Very good video man. BTW, you forgot one video game movie that you didn't mention in the video, it is "Werewolves within." It was released on DVD in 2021, but it's a decent movie to watch from us who have watched it.
48:25 the director tried to follow the setting of Jill getting brain washed in the fifth installment of the video game, but the whole movie just let the string get loose, feeling like no one cares about what is the core part of the story. Why does the director love such a unbeatable original bland character called Alice so much? Actually I am not a fan of that director Paul, even his original Underworld series doesn't attract me anyways (not a fan of vampire or vampire hunter thingys, only love that Tom Cruise x Brad Pitt movie), so I became a nasty guy who flooded negative reviews by creating multiple accounts and used them when Monster Hunter movie came out Re Afterlife is a forgettable movie, but I clearly remember the intro with pretty decent unsettling music where the zombie apocalypse started and the unrealisitic fighting scene in the bathroom, it is a cool approach for 12 year old me at that tome tho, although I still feel like it's just a below average popcorn film even far worse than the Transformers series
While it pales in comparison to the amazing and emotional stories of the game series, there was a live action Yakuza/Like a Dragon movie that was made (I think by Takashi Miike) and it's a pretty great martial arts/brawler type of film. It's a solid and entertaining fight B-Movie that is too often overlooked. Just don't expect it to be a great story or to follow any of the games all that much. While I lament the lack of a proper Like a Dragon storyline in a movie, I still like the film for what it is.
I would love to see a video like this for live action movies based on animation or for Commercials for things of a same subject. Ive dug up a bunch of commercials if you need to find them. also direct to DVD direct to Netflix movies or just whatever lands Advent Children and Dragon Quest My Story
I was today years Old (44) when i realized that the Cammy Actress i always was in love with in my Mind is Kyle Minogue^^ I swear i saw that Movie at least 3 times since it came out and didn`t realize...
Great video🤣 Really made me remember my childhood in the 2000s in Nigeria. Also, I NEED to watch Postal. I love the irreverent and edgy dark humor it has. Reminds me of the shows from the 90s I used to watch on cable back home.
The first time I saw a trailer for the final fantasy movie, I was like 6 and hadn't played any final fantasy games but I had seen my uncle's box for Final Fantasy X that always looked magical to me, so when I finally watched the movie it was like magic. I think it might be boring to me today, but I have a feeling I'd still have that feeling of wonder I felt back at the mall seeing that trailer at the Bose store
I feel like,if any reason at all,Conner didn’t do that one because if anything,it felt more like Sonic comic book-ish rather than video game-ish?? Idk 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Need for speed is not a Disney movie but a dreamwork movie dreamworks anermation and dreamworks pictures where separate companies in 2013 Disney only distributed this movie on the tourstone banner
I recently discovered your channel and I enjoy your content. The first Mortal Kombat, both Tomb Raiders films with Angelina Jollie and the Prince of Persia movies are my favourite ones. I also think they really capture the essence of the games. Thanks for addressing their positive aspects.
About Guile from Street Fighter being played by a German guy not surprised his character is based off of a French and German character from a certain popular Bizarre anime and manga series
with the Uncharted movie Mark Wahlberg was supposed to be Nathan Drake but the movie took so long to be made that they had to recast him as a different character in the movie since he was too old to be Nathan Drake
Sega owns the developers of Angry Birds Rovio, which means The Angry Birds movies are now Sega movies. This also means a Sega property crossed over with Disney before Wreck-It Ralph because Angry Birds had a crossover with the movie Rio, which Disney now owns because the people who made Rio Blue Sky are owned by Disney now. it's crazy that that's 100% true.
I adamantly defend the og Mario Bros movie. It has everything that makes Mario MARIO. Adventuring in a new mushroom-y dinosaur land complete with different environmental areas (ice level, desert level, etc), running, jumping, powerups and fireballs, princess saving. And of course Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. It's just popular to hate and I legit don't see a real reason to.
And speaking of jumping, I loved how they devised those special boots to sort of depict how far and high Mario and Luigi can jump in the games, but in a more realistic way.
18:13 If I had a nickel for every 1999 movie that had a title that claimed the movie cane out in 2000, I'd have 2 nickels which isn't much but it's weird how it happened this many times.
"It was nice to see a Sonic movie focus on Sonic instead of the humans" about a Sonic movie that.. spends an inordinate amount of time on the humans and their conflicts..
The Double Dragon movie looks like it took more inspiration from the 90s animated Double Dragon show, Ninja Turtles, and Surf Ninjas, instead of the urban gang brawler game akin to The Warriors, RoadHouse, Bad Dudes and The Last Dragon.
I think every girl i knew in high school liked the Silent Hill movie and was too scared to play the game. I only was brave enought to play the game this year and it was really scary... I'm almost 30
You talked about the movies for Layton and Yo-kai Watch (the movie’s a slightly abridged version of the second game by the way) and you didn’t bother talking about the Inazuma Eleven movie?! Come on! They’re all franchises by LEVEL-5!
Spoiler: the next Sonic film will have Sonic’s evil doppelgänger Shadow in it. Hopefully Amy, Big, Cream, Princess Sally Acorn, Rotor, Bunnie Rabbot, Silver, and last and least that qwear French weasel Jacque in it.

In all honesty, the Mario movie is decent as it’s own film, in my opinion. I watched it AGES ago and still love the industrial vibe of Dinohattan.
The problem is it isn't its own film
@@ForrestFox626 Regardless of that, it’s still a good movie. If it was it’s own movie, it probably would have gotten better reception but even today it has a cult following, myself included.
@@crownefarious8436 It doesn't deserve it
@@ForrestFox626 Well still, I personally believe it's a good movie, and you're entitled to your own opinion on this and so am I.
@@crownefarious8436 Sure
Super Mario Bros was shooting at the same time as Jurassic Park, so the comment about "every dinosaur movie had to look like Jurassic Park" is incorrect. Even people on the Jurassic Park crew came to see and admire how good Yoshi looked
I would say that th pokemon movies are less video game movies but anime movies, they after the big hit of the anime, which was more based of a comic based off the game, and when directly connected to the anime as a big adventure for the anime characters. The anime and games were very different form each other too...
I came to the comments to say this same thing. It only bothered me because he spent so much time talking about Pokémon movies and I dont consider those video game movies at all, lol
That thing about main duos being goofy started in the late 70s thanks to Cheech & Chong
Maybe Laurel and Hardy had an influence too
Actually Connor the Angry Birds movie was made by Sony Animation, not Illumination!🤓
It’s easy to confuse them though…the styles can be similar at times (not always)
Sony’s animation is a little more over the top and cartoonish. Compare Hotel Transylvania to Despicable Me.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie reviews be like:
Audience reviews: 1:17:32
Critics: 1:17:39
Haters gonna hate, the newer movie is far better than the '93 movie.
I hold a theory as to why Daisy was in the 90s Mario movie instead of Peach. See, at the time of the movie’s release, Peach was still known as “Princess Toadstool” in the west; her Japanese name of Peach wasn’t used in a big title until Super Mario 64. However, Daisy _was_ named in her appearance in Super Mario Land. Given the creators obviously had very little knowledge of the source material, I think they saw a princess be named in Super Mario Land, looked at absolutely nothing else, and assumed that Daisy was the same character as Princess Toadstool and so the princess in the movie was named Daisy because of that.
From what I remember, going from Sands of Time game to movie, the film does feel like the game.
It's funny cause my parents watched Uncharted and had no clue it was based on a game until I told them, but even before I told them, they thought it was a waste of time. On the other hand, my gf thought it was really good and thought it was one of the best movies she's ever seen.Then there's me, a pretty hardcore gamer that's only played the multiplayer of Uncharted 3. Even without a strong connection to the games, I refused to watch it, purely because the terrible casting made it look like a cash grab
As a child up until the age of 11, I was a super fan of the Mario franchise, I had no clue that a movie was made in 1993 and when I found out I was so excited to see what that was like, and then I searched up the trailer on Google and was instantly traumatized, so scarred to the point that it took me 2 years to finally watch it. It was one of my proudest fears I ever conquered lol
Hey speaking of bombs the guy who invented dynamite also invented the noble peace prize *insert the more you know meme here*
I actually love "Doom"! The Rock and Karl Urban are fantastic!
It’s a very cheesy Resident Evil kinda movie and it’s always a fun watch.
You forgot about the anime Tekken game from the late 90s that took place between Tekken 2 and 3 released prior to Tekken 3 on the PS1. Ironically the first live action film takes place between 4 and 5 and can technically take place right before the CGI movie.
I have a HUGE soft spot for Prince of Persia. I know everyone hates it, but i actually think Disney cranked out a fun movie. It had humor, it had action. I still love it to this day
As of this writing, I've seen 40 of these but you've got me beat! Some people who try this always forget about the animes, so I appreciate that, my man. This was great. I hope you keep re-uploading and adding to this.
The ones I liked best:
10. DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
9. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)

7. Resident Evil (2002)
6. Tomb Raider (2018)
5. Uncharted (2022)
4. Lara Croft:Tomb Raider (2001)
3. Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994)
2. Mortal Kombat (1995)
1. Silent Hill (2006)
$27 a small popcorn? Nah, that's too cheap
1:00:09 Um.....No. This movie was made by Columbia with animation by Sony Pictures Imageworks.
My understanding of the response to the Warcraft movie... WoW players didn't seem to like it much... Because contrary to what you think in this video, and what a lot of people thought at the time... It is not for WoW players. It was for original Warcraft the strategy game players. And as such, I loved it.
Before the live action Mario movie was even released, some Nintendo executives originally wanted the movie to stick closer to the games. There was even an early draft called “Drain Man,” since the script was very similar to “Rain Man.”
Unfortunately, they hired a Husband and Wife duo of TERRIBLY incompetent directors who kept rewriting the script every day. So most of the actors didn’t even bother remembering the lines. And those two were the ones who hated the Mario games and wanted the movie to be like Max Hedroom.
Also also, one of their original pics they wanted to direct the film was Harold Ramis (aka Egon from Ghostbusters), who was also a fan of Mario.
Dude. Did you forget Cloak and Dagger, and FF7 advent children?
Everyone forgets Cloak & Dagger which is the ACTUAL first video game movie. It's based on an existing arcade game. It WAS going to have an Atari 5200 game that never came out, which is why some people don't count it, BUT THE GAME WAS IN ARCADES FIRST.
Don’t know anything about the game but that movie was a weird snooze fest….a lil kid is running around with a game cartridge in his back back that has secret military stuff on it the bad guys want,and the kid’s imaginary friend fights the bad guys….like what…😶😶
@@AdamAddictL Oh yeah, no, it's not very good, but it is historically significant. There's also tons of shots of unreleased games in the background and advertisements for the 2800 (japanese Atari.)
@@anactualmotherbear I mean,I don’t know enough to agree or disagree,and HELL I don’t even fault the movie for letting the kid have an imaginary friend,cuz like that’s what kids do right? But when the kid’s imaginary friend just….MAGICALLY BECOMES REAL to help him out AND gets SHOT AND KILLED,it lost me 😂😂😂
An hour long ConnerTheWaffle video? Cool beans! ^^
I love your new icon and thumbnails!
The most painful video game movie is the one that never happened; the flop fighter jet movie Stealth was originally intended to be a Star Fox movie. I'm one of the few people who will defend Stealth as at least grudgingly okay, but as a avid Lylat Wars fan I will forever wonder what could have been.
Also you seem to have missed Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children/Complete and Street Fighter Assassin's Fist. While neither were mind blowing, Advent Children basically spawned an entire sub genre of fight scenes and is directly responsible for RWBY, and Assassin's Fist was at least relatively faithful to the franchise roots. They were both shown in cinemas here in the UK so they should have been included, especially since Advent Children is the canon continuation of the FF7 story.
I actually think Advent Children was a pretty good epilogue to Final Fantasy VII.
Are You gonna make more bootleg games/cartridge videos?
Advent Children, where? im shocked ya missed that one especially doin Spirits Within and Kingsglaive lol
The mario movie was actually one of my favorites as a kid and still is
Damn, nostalgia is helluva drug
@@SMCwasTaken it sure is
@@KrystalBraveheart i agree
Honestly coming back to watching this channel and its content is nostalgic for me, hell I remember watching him for the first time more than a few years ago 😊
25:02 timemark so i can finish watching it later
Actually Conner the tales of Vesperia first strike movie is not a sequel to the games, it’s a prequel before the the main events of the game happens
Resident Evil: Extinction was the first film of that series that I watched and... yeah, I was rather confused. I hadn't played any of the games yet at that time, but I still had a pretty good idea of what they were like and that film definitely was not what I was expecting. Connor's Mad Max comparison seems fitting.
I’m looking forward to the upcoming Mario movie but um how come it’s in the thumbnail when it’s not out yet?
The new Mario movie is coming out soon, therefore putting it in the thumbnail makes it more appealing to the algorithm.
@@nathanielvaughn6728 oh
Good lord I literally only got through a few seconds of that crappy Mario movie once I saw Mario with Luigi I literally turned it off and I was why in the world is Mario a old man while Luigi is literally looks like he’s in high school aren’t they supposed to be twin brothers????!!!!!!
Perfect timing. With The Super Mario Movie coming next month. HOPEFULLY it'll be better and makes up the horrible mistakes the 1993 one did and we can FINALLY pretend that one no longer exists! 🍿🎥
The trailers don't give me hope. The humor isn't even like Mario and the voices.
Miyamoto-san actually prefers the 1993 film over the 1986 anime.
@@s-wo8781 what? Your logo makes no sense. Just watch the movie
@@gracekim25 What are you even talking about?
And the movie was good.
The angry birds movie was actually animated by sony/rovio animation
Another thing to add to this would've been the five nights at freddy's movie. Like it's technically an indie horror game released back in 2014 that everyone was scared of. But then they grew on it, and eventually the fanbase was large. Now that there's a fnaf movie coming through, I wasn't sure if I would watch it, I can't stand horror movies. But since I've been in the fandom at one point, I'll try to. But the problem is like the Sonic movie syndrome, which the animatronics have red eyes that upset a lot of the fans. Now they're trying to make the studio to fix them, and I don't think it's gonna work in time. And then there's a live action Minecraft movie coming soon...
There is a few... where we either watched completely different movies, or you didn't really watch them.
Technically Resident Evil Degeneraton, Damnation, and Vandetta are not video game based movies like those god awful live action films. They are meant to act as filler taking place between 5 and 6. Damnation and Vandetta are set after after 6 but before 7. In fact, Capcom has confirmed said three films I mentioned are CANON.
This is because Capcom directed, produced, wrote, and created the three films. They supervised everything and made sure these three films STRICTLY followed canon to a T-virus. So, your opinions don’t matter here. Weather you like or hate these three films, they are canon and can not be uncanonized since Capcom says they’re canon.
I don't remember who said it but the best ya I heard someone review the DOA movie was "I'd describe the plot for you...but I'm still not sure there was one."
I didn't know about some of these movies. I didn't even knew that Persona series has movies and I am a fan of the Persona games!
The main flaw with Double Dragon movie is it’s a very unfaithful adaptation of the the Double Dragon arcade game.
It’s not in post apocalyptic New York, the main antagonist isn’t Willy Mackey, it’s not a serious tone movie, the Lee Brothers aren’t wearing the iconic costumes, Marian doesn’t get kidnapped, and most of the movie doesn’t show 2 component badass protagonists smashing bad guys.
Also most of the weapons are absent in this unfaithful abomination.
Double Dragon can be greatly improved with a hardcore Rated R serious tone remake that is very faithful.
Up to 2016, an hour in - No mention of Final Fantasy Advent Children?
Angry Birds was Sony, not Illumination.
If they make video game movies, could there be a doors movie? It would be better than *suffering with entities such as some dude screaming SURPRISE CHICKENS YOU. JUST. GOT. AMBUSHED! Out of nowhere.* that'd be a hot line for ambush.
fun fact: Raul Julia who played M. Bison in the live action street fighters movie was actually dying of stomach cancer, he took the role of said character because his kids adored the franchise and he wanted to be in a movie that they'd enjoy.
31:30 Oh, so that’s where polystation got the quote “It’s not a game anymore” from

Very good video man. BTW, you forgot one video game movie that you didn't mention in the video, it is "Werewolves within." It was released on DVD in 2021, but it's a decent movie to watch from us who have watched it.
He also missed tekken 2 kazuya revenge.
And the alpha movies.
And advent children

Check it out when you got the chance.
Conner The Waffle The Movie 2: the syrup sequel

The actor who played chum li in the legend of chin li (Kristen kreuk) is friends with my best friends mom
48:25 the director tried to follow the setting of Jill getting brain washed in the fifth installment of the video game, but the whole movie just let the string get loose, feeling like no one cares about what is the core part of the story. Why does the director love such a unbeatable original bland character called Alice so much?
Actually I am not a fan of that director Paul, even his original Underworld series doesn't attract me anyways (not a fan of vampire or vampire hunter thingys, only love that Tom Cruise x Brad Pitt movie), so I became a nasty guy who flooded negative reviews by creating multiple accounts and used them when Monster Hunter movie came out
Re Afterlife is a forgettable movie, but I clearly remember the intro with pretty decent unsettling music where the zombie apocalypse started and the unrealisitic fighting scene in the bathroom, it is a cool approach for 12 year old me at that tome tho, although I still feel like it's just a below average popcorn film even far worse than the Transformers series
While it pales in comparison to the amazing and emotional stories of the game series, there was a live action Yakuza/Like a Dragon movie that was made (I think by Takashi Miike) and it's a pretty great martial arts/brawler type of film. It's a solid and entertaining fight B-Movie that is too often overlooked. Just don't expect it to be a great story or to follow any of the games all that much. While I lament the lack of a proper Like a Dragon storyline in a movie, I still like the film for what it is.
I would love to see a video like this for live action movies based on animation or for Commercials for things of a same subject. Ive dug up a bunch of commercials if you need to find them.
also direct to DVD direct to Netflix movies or just whatever lands Advent Children and Dragon Quest My Story
I was today years Old (44) when i realized that the Cammy Actress i always was in love with in my Mind is Kyle Minogue^^
I swear i saw that Movie at least 3 times since it came out and didn`t realize...
Great video🤣 Really made me remember my childhood in the 2000s in Nigeria. Also, I NEED to watch Postal. I love the irreverent and edgy dark humor it has. Reminds me of the shows from the 90s I used to watch on cable back home.
dope video but I think you may have missed a movie, if not ignore me please, but what is with "like a dragon" the movie to the yakuza games ?
I dont know how rotten tomatoes even makes money, since the beginning they have been horrible at rating movies
I am surprised you didn't mention Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (and its sequels).
I saw a meme that showed a Google search for who voices Luigi and one of the results was Matt Mercer
Ff7 movie Advent children was awesome. One of the best video game movies 💕
The first time I saw a trailer for the final fantasy movie, I was like 6 and hadn't played any final fantasy games but I had seen my uncle's box for Final Fantasy X that always looked magical to me, so when I finally watched the movie it was like magic. I think it might be boring to me today, but I have a feeling I'd still have that feeling of wonder I felt back at the mall seeing that trailer at the Bose store
Where is the Sonic OVA?
I feel like,if any reason at all,Conner didn’t do that one because if anything,it felt more like Sonic comic book-ish rather than video game-ish?? Idk 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Need for speed is not a Disney movie but a dreamwork movie dreamworks anermation and dreamworks pictures where separate companies in 2013 Disney only distributed this movie on the tourstone banner
Can you guys believe that I watched angry birds before i knew the game existed
I recently discovered your channel and I enjoy your content. The first Mortal Kombat, both Tomb Raiders films with Angelina Jollie and the Prince of Persia movies are my favourite ones. I also think they really capture the essence of the games. Thanks for addressing their positive aspects.
8:37 you have to admit Van Damme killed that Guile victory pose 😂😂 cammy and chung li too
44:33 conner this is the first time talking about one my favorite fighting game in my hole history the tekken series have you played tekken?
About Guile from Street Fighter being played by a German guy not surprised his character is based off of a French and German character from a certain popular Bizarre anime and manga series
I find most anime to be bizarre, so that's not very specific.

Jean-Claude Van Damme is Belgian.
Hopefully one day you get to review Dreamcast hidden gems
with the Uncharted movie Mark Wahlberg was supposed to be Nathan Drake but the movie took so long to be made that they had to recast him as a different character in the movie since he was too old to be Nathan Drake
Sega owns the developers of Angry Birds Rovio, which means The Angry Birds movies are now Sega movies. This also means a Sega property crossed over with Disney before Wreck-It Ralph because Angry Birds had a crossover with the movie Rio, which Disney now owns because the people who made Rio Blue Sky are owned by Disney now. it's crazy that that's 100% true.
47:35 Claire made her debut in Extinction though?
1:00:10
ACKSHUALLY it was animated and published by Sony Animation, not Illumination.
I adamantly defend the og Mario Bros movie. It has everything that makes Mario MARIO. Adventuring in a new mushroom-y dinosaur land complete with different environmental areas (ice level, desert level, etc), running, jumping, powerups and fireballs, princess saving. And of course Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.
It's just popular to hate and I legit don't see a real reason to.
And speaking of jumping, I loved how they devised those special boots to sort of depict how far and high Mario and Luigi can jump in the games, but in a more realistic way.
The 2ed movie of that became a comic. If you wont to know what happen next.
18:13 If I had a nickel for every 1999 movie that had a title that claimed the movie cane out in 2000, I'd have 2 nickels which isn't much but it's weird how it happened this many times.
Where is alpha?
He missed a few.
"It was nice to see a Sonic movie focus on Sonic instead of the humans" about a Sonic movie that.. spends an inordinate amount of time on the humans and their conflicts..
I remember watchint the angry birds film for my 11th birthday and i watched it in spanish. The VA for king leonard deserves an award
I thought Final Fantasy VII Advent Children was in theaters, but I don’t care enough to look it up. 👀
The Double Dragon movie looks like it took more inspiration from the 90s animated Double Dragon show, Ninja Turtles, and Surf Ninjas, instead of the urban gang brawler game akin to The Warriors, RoadHouse, Bad Dudes and The Last Dragon.
I think every girl i knew in high school liked the Silent Hill movie and was too scared to play the game. I only was brave enought to play the game this year and it was really scary... I'm almost 30
Let's be fair, the first Hitman film was also bad, but at least it was better than Hitman: Agent 47!
1:00:12 It was made by Sony Animation, they made Spiderverse, but also the Emoji Movie
You talked about the movies for Layton and Yo-kai Watch (the movie’s a slightly abridged version of the second game by the way) and you didn’t bother talking about the Inazuma Eleven movie?! Come on! They’re all franchises by LEVEL-5!
Wasn't aware that Inazuma Eleven had a movie.
@@OmarAlikaj Yeah. And content from that movie was later put in a special version of the 3rd game.
Spoiler: the next Sonic film will have Sonic’s evil doppelgänger Shadow in it. Hopefully Amy, Big, Cream, Princess Sally Acorn, Rotor, Bunnie Rabbot, Silver, and last and least that qwear French weasel Jacque in it.
His name is Antoine and he’s a fox 🤦♂️
