The Game Overthinker recently put it very well in his little Youtube series;
Movies trying to be videogames trying to be movies suck. And most of our games that get turned into a movie were inspirationally based upon a common movie genre, series or experience. Most of them aren't too interesting in terms of the basic plot, the enjoyment comes from the fact that you participate and shape the events that unfold. Just watching the plots as a movie would suck,
and surprisingly, when someone tries to film it, it actually does end up sucking indeed!

Resident Evil: Regeneration looks pretty good, but I haven't seen very much of it.
Video game movies can be done right, it's just that no one has learned how to do it yet. I think Devil May Cry would make a really good movie if they did it all in CG. I think that's what they keep messing up on, using live action instead of CG. Sonic had an animated movie and it was good.
