trinityvixenRotten Tomatoes has a listing of the top 30 or so ranked video game movies, and despite the mediocre reviews, Prince of Persia is #2.
Please consider that your mileage may vary with their rankings--they have no less than four Uwe Boll movies on that list--but it's interesting to look at all the video games that people have tried to make into movies and which have been successful and which have not. I still think Pokemon and Digimon are cheating, though, seeing as they're not putting up video games made into movies so much as they are making movies based on TV shows that happen to also have games associated with them.
Not sure I agree with which film they put at #1. Haters may hate, but I really liked the first Resident Evil movie. I thought it did justice to the games while still doing its own thing.
