If that trailer for “Sonic the Hedgehog” proved anything, it’s that video games should not be adapted into movies.

Throughout the ages, only a handful have been decent. The Tomb Raider movies have their moments, and the first Mortal Kombat film was awesome.

However, for every good one we got, we had a dozen stinkers. For this list, we decided to give you the worst of the worst. In order to qualify, the movie has to be based on the game and not a different interpretation. For example, the animated Pokémon movies are based on the anime, not the game.

Top 5 worst video game movies

5. Warcraft

Some hardcore fans do like this movie, but general audiences agreed that it’s pretty awful.

Some hardcore fans do like this movie, but general audiences agreed that it’s pretty awful.

The CGI and make-up aren’t bad, but the film falls apart in every other aspect. The acting is beyond hokey. The story is both predictable and boring. Even the action scenes are bland. The film is about two hours long, but it feels like an eternity.

A video game series like World of Warcraft has such potential for a film adaptation, but this film misses the mark at every turn.

4. Double Dragon

The Double Dragon games have a very simple concept. Billy and Jimmy Lee are brothers who use their kung-fu fighting skills to rescue Billy’s girlfriend while fighting off a Chinese gang.

In the game, Billy and Jimmy are both big, muscular dudes who look like American Gladiators . However, in the movie, we got two scrawny guys who just look in over their heads. The main theme of rescuing Billy’s girlfriend is thrown out the window for a new story about collecting a medallion.

If you’re a fan of the games, spin-kick this movie far, far away.

3. Doom

This movie was so bad even The Rock poked fun at it years later:

Wow! Very cool RAMPAGE news! Not pointing to the scoreboard yet, but it seems we may have finally broken the dreaded video game curse. And remember, I starred in the stinker “Doom” so I have lived thy curse
