Are the best and worst mixed into one 41 entry list...? I've never watched most of these, in fact I never even heard of Dead Trigger & Werewolves Within.

Of those I'd say Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter are the best. Resident Evil film series is fine but somehow has less to do with Resident Evil than even the Mario Bros movie did.

Still waiting on a Metal Gear Solid movie. It would be so hard to screw that up.

Yeah, it's a single list. I was surprised by some of the entries, too, both the ones I didn't know existed & the ones that were higher than expected.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

This ranking sucks. 'Double Dragon', better than 'Mortal Kombat'? Do so completely bite me.

I feel like Mario Bros. is only low because it's the expected thing to do. Detective Pikachu definitely didn't earn the #2 spot either.

^^That's how I reacted to DOA being anywhere in the top half of the list.

^The blurb on Super Mario Bros actually said it's pretty enjoyable & that it represents the neutral point on the list.

You know...I actually went to see 'In the Name of the King: Dungeon Siege' in-theatre. Because why not waste my money stupidly like a dumdum.

'Dungeon Siege' was way better than 'Double Dragon'. 'Double Dragon' can scram.

Even the Double Dragon games aren't very good. I have no idea why they were so popular, I mean they were playable but that's about it. Then again, it's just not a genre I typically enjoy.

The fact Detective Pikachu isn't no. 41 on the list shows they are kind of crazy. :facepalm:

Well, then, it's a good thing I summarized the list in the opening post.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Can now confirm: Werewolves Within deserves top-5 placement for sure.
