Of the ones I've seen, I've enjoyed MK and RE/RE2 the most.

Olga Kurylenko in Hitman is enough to have me vote it best.

Best? Silent Hill, even though it could've been just a hair better in the acting department.

Worst? Yeah, I'm going to have to go with the second Mortal Kombat flick -- an experience I still want my money back for.

Best would be the Resident Evil movies, although they have branched away from the video games and seem to be their own thing. I enjoyed the first Mortal Kombat as well.

Worst would be Super Mario Bros or the 2nd Mortal Kombat. TallGuyMe is also a pretty shitty movie, but it was also a terrible game too so it was expected.

Man, it's a sad state of affairs when Resident Evil is considered the best of the bunch.

Worst: Hitman. This could have been a great movie about loyalty and redemption, instead we got a pile of crap that I could barely comprehend...

No hate for Dungeon Siege? I can get some enjoyment from watching things like Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter, but Dungeon Siege was tough to sit through.
