I can only feel a slight joy that MovieBob feels indifferent about it being a 'good' videogame movie, and this is because it shows that people don't look at games in the way of them being for kids. Maybe i'm being too general here, but the fact that MovieBob describes briefly that the movie and the game are basically based on older movies (and are inevitably LIKE the movies) shows that he, along with quite possibly many other people, do not view them as a shallow and one-dimensional pastime like they might have 20 years ago. It shows that games are getting roughly the same respect as movies.
This is also shown in the way of the videogame movies. In the time where these movies were getting started, they all showed (Street Fighter, Super Mario Brothers, The Wizard if you count that) a more juvenile approach to creating it, and therefore, were stupid and embarrasing. Around Mid-point, they showed an ATTEMPT at appealing to a more adult audience (Resident Evil, Doom and Mortal Kombat ONE). To the most recent, which seem to embrace an adult audience and reflect that in themes and plot with films like Silent Hill, Tomb Raider... (yes, I liked that film) and quite possibly Prince of Persia.
