Do you think this is where video game movies improve?

With the upcoming Assassins Creed movie, Warcraft and the in-the-works Tomb Raider movie, are movie adaptations of video games about to take a jump in quality similar to how comic book movies improved?

At the moment Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie is generally regarded as the best adaptation, fair to claim?

Let's hope so. Warcraft looks promising because of the people behind it and that leaked footage was outstanding. Not sure about Tomb Raider though - it's like Resident Evil. The concept just doesn't work on a cinema screen.

Much like the Hitman movies that were nothing like their game counterparts so i'm always a bit sceptical when game based movies are made.

When it comes to Video game movies, Mortal Kombat is to me the best done right out here, despite it has age poorly but still fun to watch in today's standards. Warcraft movie looks promising so let's hope it turns out well.

I don't think it's the way video game movies looked, (like comic book movies used to look terrible) it's the story telling that needs to step up, and try to make us actually care about the characters.
