There are just some things that don’t belong on the silver screen. Here we’ll be looking at the video games that should not be given the Hollywood treatment, including those that are supposedly scheduled to filmed at some point in the future.
Okay, here’s the thing: we’ve done lists about games that SHOULD be adapted to film – and some of the entries you’ll see here were on those list – but we had huge arguments in the office as to why those would not work. So now, those of us who were in disagreement about film adaptations finally get to make our case as to why these movies would be a terrible, awful idea.
Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we are counting down our picks for the top ten video games that should never be adapted to film.

me: MONSTER HUNTER
I agree. Many of these Games would not work as a Film, but.. What about making them a Series, like on Netflix. Sure, It must be a good one, people who love the Games in the director and producer chairs, a freaking whole lot of money as backup and the balls to go through with it for the fans even if it is not liked by the press, as long as the fans love it.
WHO CARES ABOUT TETRIS? I WANT PONG: THE MOVIE, SPACE WARS: THE MOVIE, AND NIM: THE MOVIE!
#1 if it does happen get Nick Cage and Adam Sandler involved
Monster hunter with that guy. Why. Just why with that guy. "parallel universes sooo cool"(sarcasm). He is gonna fuck up sooo bad and people won't get into the games wich are really good.
DO A DAMN MOVIE ON THE BACKSTORY AND LORE FFS! That's a fresh slate and it won't be as easy to screw up
Top ten youtube channels running out of ideas – number one: watchmojo
Oh heeeell no! You serious about a TETRIS movie… fucking TRILOGY???
Wait, they're people who are gonna make Tetris a movie?
This must be like one of those "Good Ideas that Didn't Work" things.
How about Aliens attack NYC with Tetris Blocks.
I think that if the producers and writers sat down and talked endlessly, discussing all possible ways that it could go wrong, it would be possible to make a good plot for a Tetris movie.
I can say good list and Tetris itself for #1 really terrible but the story behind the making and distribution around the world is more likely a better idea. Don't know as well as the creator of it still that seems more likely.
An animated Mario movie could work, it's already been done
WTF warcraft was great what do you mean what happened to it
Trust me, Tetris sounds better as an film than the emoji movie.. or maybe is equal.. idk
Honestly, i do want Zelda to be an anime, i think that would work out
Fuck it, just to spite this channel, I'ma write my own GTA movie. It'll make Scarface look like Child's Play and be the greatest crime epic ever and I'll get to laugh in your face. THE CHALLENGE IS ACCEPTED, MOJO!
Adapting Pac-Man would be next to impossible.
BATTLESHIP! Wait. It is already a movie. Hope is lost.
OK two things
1.you put Nintendo as metal gear solid 4 publisher
2. Hideo Kojima IS going to be part of the movie he is going to be an adviser for the director please get your facts straight
NOT MONSTER HUNTER
Your face should never be adapted to film
that emoji movie shouldve never been thought of
Shut up Mojo! I don't care If these movies are going to be bad I still want to watch them! Warcraft was pretty good, and It's a good step in to the future video game adaptations. DON'T KILL MY DREAMS!
…I think kingdom hearts would be lit
Snake Eater could be a good movie
What about games that will be good as tv shows
I am not a fan of monster Hunter the movie. No.
How would you make a movie out of Tetris, anyway?
They need an Undertale movie… not really, but it would sill be cool
What are the top three and dishonorable mentions?
The Club Penguin movie Starring Cowbelly TV
Zelda needs to be an anime series because we have the manga already so it's perfect
I think you forgot….all of them
FIFA
nice very nice
come play my game
