Yet, some outrank others in how terrible they really are. So, here are the worst video game movies to be released ever!
Ocean’s Eleven
George Clooney took part in many iconic movies over the years, and Ocean’s Eleven is definitely one of them. This is among the popular heist comedy films that bring together some of Hollywood’s best actors. The first movie features two friends called Danny Ocean and Rusty Ryan (George Clooney & Brad Pitt), who plan to steal several million dollars from Terry Benedict’s casino. In order to achieve their goal, the two partners in crime had to recruit other people, including a con man and a casino worker. As you probably know, this is not the only movie mainly focused on casinos and more specifically stealing money from them, but we’ve chosen it because it has a good rating on platforms such as IMDb.
When it was released in 2001, Ocean’s Eleven was the fifth highest-grossing film of the year. That’s why it probably doesn’t come as a surprise that the director Steven Soderbergh created two sequels called Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen.
Resident Evil
We’re not entirely sure that they could have milked the Resident Evil series much more, but with six films surrounding the video game, it surely tried to. None of the movies really make much sense overall, although it sort of comes together in the sixth and final film, The Final Chapter. Yet, that still doesn’t excuse Paul W.S. Anderson for putting out such dire movies based on the Resident Evil video games.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
There’s little doubt that Angelina Jolie was perfect casting for the likeness of Lara Croft. Unfortunately, this sequel to the original Tomb Raider film, which was released in 2003, sees her uncover the mystery of what is described as a real-life Pandora’s Box. It just has a multitude of plot holes throughout, and Gerard Butler doesn’t make things any better in his role as Terry Sheridan. We’d say to avoid this one, and definitely steer clear of the 2018 reboot starring Alicia Vikander, too.
DOA: Dead or Alive
When you consider that the DOA videogame features multiple women in skimpy garments battling it out, you’ll realise why this was also a terrible choice to convert into a movie. While the videogame may have been more appreciated, this movie is a tragic setup and features dull-as-dishwater cast members portraying unbelievable fighters. Released in 2006 and directed by Corey Yuen, it speaks volumes when Holly Valance is given a main role in a movie with a $21,000,000 budget. As it happens though, it only went on to gross $480,813 in the USA.
