Next I will be showing thw ones I've watched and rather or not I would tell others to watch them.
Far Cry: I give it a 3 out of 5 because it was low budget, the acting kinda sucked and the other perks that come with these types of movies. Overall, I'd atleast watch it.
MAx Payne: 4 out of 5, the acting is good, the film is beautiful, but not what I wanted. Overall, a must see.
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li: 4/5 The acting was off a bit, poor storyline, but worth watching.
Super Mario Bros.: 5/5 One of my favs., acting is good, picture is good for it's time, and I'd watch it over and over again.
I'm not much in to pokemon, but if thats your thing, then all the movies [except for the short films] are worth watching. 5/5 on all
All the Resident Evil films are beautiful 5/5 If you havn't seen them, go watch them
Deadspace: Downfall; 5/5 It's a greal little animation film, you need to watch this to get a better understanding of the game...
Alone in the Dark: 2/5 I didn't like this at all, bad acting, to much money was spent on cgi, and the action wasn't good, don't watch if you don't want to waste your time.
The Final Fantasy films are great, 5/5, go watch them
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale: 3/5, nto good, not worth watching...
Hitman: 4/5 Other than the main man not having enough charisma, its a pretty good movie.
Double Dragon: 4/5 I liked it, but I havn't seen it since I was a kid, so...
Well, that is that, and if you've seen any of these that I didn't review, put one down, I'll read it and try to watch it if you say so. Also if there is any that you know of that isn't listed, write those down too...
