I haven't seen the second one either.
The first one was pretty bad though, I've seen that.
But I also unfortunately own the DVD of the titanic animated movie, so my spot of worst film ever is forever taken.

Which one? Titanic: The Legend Goes On, or The Legend of the Titanic?

The legend goes on I believe, it came with a bundle of other DVDs a fair few years back.
I still have it, though it'll be stored in the attic now.
I didn't realize it had such a bad reputation when I first watched it, but I turned it off at the rapping dog section.

Right, that'll be the first one The Critic reviewed, then. That was bloody awful, but very slightly less so compared to the other one. Whilst T:TLGO was stupid, TLOTT was just disgustingly insulting, summing up everything wrong with the Animation Age Ghetto.
 
As for the turning off at the Rapping Dog bit- a wise decision, my armour-plated arachnid friend.

Doing a short bump to update on what is coming soon.

It looks RCT is not the only video game getting a film:

These are the other games being made into films:

God of War (Warner Bros)
Mass Effect (Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures)
Uncharted (Columbia Pictures)
Assassin's Creed (Columbia Pictures)
World of Warcraft (Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures)
Dead Island (Lionsgate Studios and Twisted Pictures)
Deus Ex (Columbia Pictures)
Half Life (????)
Team Fortress (????)
A new reboot to Mortal Kombat (Warner Bros and New Line Cinemas)

There may be more, but these are the only ones I found out about.

People should make GTA Series movies. ;)

... and they should be Directed by Guy Richie.  (Lock stock and two smoking barrels, Snatch, rock and rolla, etc etc)

I would love to see a movie version of Flat Out 2.  <3

Out of all the movies mentioned in this thread... I have to say that Resident Evil is my favorite game-to-movie.  I find it incredibly enjoyable every time I watch it.

You also fail to remember that Pokemon started off as a simple role playing game on Gameboy before the TV series and Movie franchise.  :D
Flatout movie would have Brutal Bone-Crunching gore.
Resident Evil is probably the best game-to-movie anyway.
I would like to see an Okami movie just to see how they would do it or an Unreal Tournament movie (Gory fighting acshuns!)







-Great band, hopefully more up soon.

Wonder how you'll make a movie plot around TF2? Also, I do think a new Mortal Kombat movie sounds quite good- hopefully we'll actually see Scorpion and Sub Zero fight in it.

If TF2 was in a movie, I'd like it to almost be a cameo - like the characters of the film shopping at a 'Mann Co' supermarket, where there's a weapons stall with only 1 Heavy or something at it, and a hat stall which is crowded like heck :P

Dunno, but from the sounds of it apparently Valve will be there to make sure that a bad plot for it and Half Life will not be made, so they probably will be calling the shots on the script by the sounds of it. No studio has been announced, something more might be said after the meet the pyro video gets released sometime this year.

Apparently for the Mortal Kombat movie they want to make it like the game, and they want it to be rated R so they can make it like the game, it was also confirmed for fall of 2013

Hitman.

It didn't have the same feel as the games, but they did a good job of giving background and some kind of plot. The guy's role wasn't really as subtle as that which he played in the games (Stealing a postman's clothes or something and going in to kill one guy).

Saw Prince Of Persia a while back and i regretted it. Movies should stay movies and games should stay games.

Talking of VG Movies, even if the Super Mario Bros movie was a bit crap, it did give us this bit-
