My daughter absolutely loves this game. It is just like being in the movie with the graphics and characters. Usually video games based on movies don't turn out well; but the develpoer did a great job on this one. I acutally play it too.
What's great about it: Be the Bee! The gameplay is great, kids will love this game.
What's not so great: the side quests can get repetitive

This is an interesting vampire story with its own mythos. Also one of the few horror movies that did give me a scare, whoo...their teeth the vampires had were downright chilling. The lead vampire reminds me of Anthony Bourdain for some reason.
What's great about it: Different vampire tale, gives actual scares.

The memory-embedded-in-dna is a good story element. Also the fighting is different with the use of the face buttons, but doesn't take to long to learn. The game is a bit repetative in that you get info, help people, then assassinate. All in all, a good game. The ending 'tho ensures a sequel.
What's great about it: Great graphics, interesting story, assassinations
What's not so great: a bit repetative, but if you're an assassin what else ya gonna do?

This was the first 3d game I had ever played, and I remember running into walls because I was used to 2d games at that point. The same storyline is there, but with revamped graphics and a few gameplay tweaks (times events that correspond to button presses). A great game for those who like to explore.
What's great about it: Ah, brings back the memories from the original version

Usually movies made from games are flops (and vice versa), but Hitman was surprisingly good. Lots of action and explosions, also humor and what I thought a good storyline. For some reason I just seem to see Jason Statham in the role as agent 47, althought Timothy Olyphant did well.
What's great about it: One of the better game-to-movie translations
What's not so great: Should have been Jason Statham as Agent 47
Classic Disney animation meets contemporary urban chaos when a frightened princess is banished from her magical animated homeland to modern-day New York City in a romantic comedy penned by Bill Kelly (Blast from the Past), directed by Kevin Lima (Tarzan), and featuring music by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in the blissful cartoon world of Andalasia, where magical beings frolic freely and musical interludes punctuate every interaction. Though Princess Giselle is currently engaged to be married to the handsome Prince Edward (James Marsden), her fate takes a turn for the worse when the villainous Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) banishes her to the unforgiving metropolis of New York City. As the cruelty of the big city soon begins to wear down the fairy-tale exterior of the once-carefree princess, the frightened Giselle soon finds herself falling for a friendly but flawed divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) whose kind compassion helps her to survive in this strange and dangerous new world.

My daughter and I enjoyed this movie immensely. Usually it is my daughter that asks to watch the movie again when the credits start the roll, but with Enchanted I was the first to say it. This is not another princess movie, but actually a modern day retelling of how a princess might react if put into our world and times. A lot of good laughs throughout, with a good happily after after. P.S. I even liked the songs, and sang to them with my daughter!
What's great about it: Modern day fairy tale that can be enjoyed by kids and adults.

I was skeptical at first when I heard a live action/CG movie was being made out of the Transformers toys of my childhook, but Michael Bay did a great job. A good cast of characters, especially with Shia Lebouf. The Transformers of course look different, a bit more flashier than the old toys. Can't wait for the sequel.
What's great about it: Incredible movie; great action and humor
