First, the Mario Bros. movie isn't that bad. It's actually pretty creative. Second, there have been some good video game based movies: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, the Resident Evil trilogy and Silent Hill to name a few. It's just that the stinkers like House of the Dead give the rest of em a bad reputation. I would love to see a Castlevania movie get made, but it'll probably be years before anyone even thinks about trying again.
See, the problem in Hollywood is that they feel the need to spend huge amounts of money when they don't have to. With a solid script, a Castlevania movie could probably be done well for 20 or 30 million (as opposed to 80 or 90 million) and easily make it's budget back but unfortunately that's not how things work most of the time and that's why it's so embarrasing when a big movie flops. If the suits would only learn that less can be more, I'm sure that all kinds of worthy stuff would be greenlit.

The mario movie{Despite that I know a few people who hate this film} I find it pretty decent. I used to think it was based off of Super Mario Land because it had daisy in it. I dont know what brought Mario to a downfall but I seriously argee to what Bob had to say about the film.
Now I think Castlevania wouldve been a success even if the critics hated it, I mean look at Resident Evil and Max Payne. Despite those films were panned by the critics they were successful and I enjoyed the max payne film. I even played the video game of it for godsakes.....
