The influence of Underground and Most Wanted was very high, especially for a teenager growing up in the 2000s. The film, which was released in 2014, caught our eye with its very familiar faces.

7. Final Fantasy

The first film of the film series, whose name we will hear once again on our list, was released in 2001. The production, which is a direct adaptation of Final Fantasy, one of the first series that comes to mind when it comes to J-RPG, appeared as an animation.

If a video game can project so much fear inside, I wonder what it does on the big screen. This idea fascinated everyone. The production, directed by Christophe Gans, was released to the audience in 2006.

5. Pokémon: Detective Pikachu

Sweet Pokémon... How would it be if I told you a crime story starring Pikachu? And it's not animation at all. In 2019, I'm sure every fan was as excited as you are.

4. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Prince of Persia: The sands of time is an adaptation of the series that fascinated us for a while and then Ubisoft turned it into Assassins Creed. The production starring Jake Gyllenhaal, one of the popular actors of recent times, met with the big screen in 2010.

3. Resident Evil

The film, which is the first production of the cinema leg of the legendary game series, has an important place with its bringing Racoon City to the big screen. In addition, he met his audience in 2002 with the impressiveness of Milla Jovovich.

2. Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV

Kingsglaive is the second Final Fantasy adaptation on our movie list. It was released to cinemas in 2016 with the screenwriting of Kazushige Nojima and Saoir Itamuro.

We don't know how much you have mastered the Warcraft universe, but we think there's no way you haven't heard about it. Unfortunately, it was confirmed a long time ago that the film, which is an introduction to the Warcraft universe, will not be followed up. The production starring Travis Fimmel, whom we know from Vikings, was presented to the audience in 2016.
