The success rate of live-action game movies is extremely low. The worlds of the games have sometimes allowed for an admirable creation, but most of them are not good enough. In this list, we’ll take you a look at the top 10 live-action video game movies you can watch. None of them are exactly masterpieces, but they are among the best adapted films to watch. Let’s take a look at the ten best of them, from Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil to Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog.
– Tomb Raider (2019)
After the crappy Tomb Raider movies of the 2000s starring Angelina Jolie, the series definitely needed to recover. Especially considering that the games of the series are also coming out in a better way, this 2019 film offers us the world of Lara Croft. This film, which is faithful to the Tomb Raider game that debuted in 2013 in many ways, is insufficient to make a big impact.
– Mortal Kombat (2021)
The Mortal Kombat movie, which was released in 2021, is not an incredible film. In fact, according to many fans, it is stated that it pales in comparison to the 1995 film (we’ll talk about this a little later – it’s on the list). However, there are some flashy and extremely violent parts of the film, and this is one of the exciting parts of this adaptation. With the sequel on the way, fans may want more from this movie of the series.
– Resident Evil (2002)
Paul WS Anderson’s 2002 adaptation of Resident Evil is one of the most popular video game movies of all time, and many fans say this adaptation is among the best. We can say that this film of Resident Evil has made a refreshing turn to make it feel different, fresh and extremely enjoyable for its time.
– Warcraft

Adapting the Warcraft universe into a movie has always been seen as a challenge. However, filmmaker Duncan Jones has found a pretty good middle ground by detailing the myth without oversimplifying things while restoring the story to its roots. As a result, I can say that it is a perfectly entertaining film that Warcraft fans will be pleased with. But don’t expect a fantasy epic on the scale of The Lord of the Rings in this movie.
– Werewolves Within
Werewolves Within is a 2021 American comedy horror film directed by Josh Ruben from Mishna Wolff’s screenplay based on Red Storm Entertainment’s video game of the same name. However, Werewolves Within is a highly entertaining werewolf game that blends detective mystery with supernatural events. The level of humor in the movie or game may not like it, but I still say look.
– Mortal Kombat (1995)
Unlike the 2021 adaptation, Paul WS Anderson’s 1995 Mortal Kombat film received a PG-13 (inappropriate for under-13s) rating. It is definitely among the best films of its era and has always managed to stay in the spotlight with its impressive scenes and more.
– Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog, the adaptation film that has attracted the whole world, tried to offer fans an adaptation that is effectively entertaining and remarkably faithful to the original, and even succeeded, is one of the productions that stands out. It more than deserves this place among the best video game movies right now.
– Silent Hill
Of course, there could be more successful movies than a successful game.
The first Silent Hill movie didn’t get enough attention, but it did the impossible, raising all expectations about what video game movies could potentially be at the time. The Silent Hill film, which stands out with its serious theme dark structure and spooky environments, is among the prominent productions.
– Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the sequel to the first film and is one of the highest-grossing titles. If there is a world opposite the first, we can say that it also has a universe. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 proved to be bigger and better than the previous film in almost every way. Idris Elba’s voice of Knuckles was something no one could have imagined years ago. Add Jim Carrey back to the mix, and the recipe is special.
The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie was a huge success for both SEGA and Paramount. Accordingly, the film earned more than $ 375 million worldwide. The original Sonic the Hedgehog film (the first film) grossed $306 million worldwide. This reveals that the sequel earned more than $ 55 million from the previous film.
– Pokemon: Detective Pikachu
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is definitely among the best adaptation films on offer. Taking the Pokemon world and showing a realistic depiction of how to integrate into modern society is a topic that really interests them. Ryan Reynolds brings Pikachu to life through his voice work, and unexpectedly powerful emotional moments unfold.
