What makes a good cinematic adaptation of a video game? It's a question we've been asking since at least 1993's "Super Mario Bros.," and we're not likely to have a solid answer to it anytime soon. For proof, look no further than the reaction to the trailer for Zach Cregger's "Resident Evil," which has begun the fight all over again. In this corner, weighing in at "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie," we have the Purists.

These are the fans who demand a video game movie should look like a 1:1 translation of the game, and that its story and characters follow suit. In the other corner, weighing in at "Sonic the Hedgehog," we have the Radicalists. These folks want to see games adapted into a unique cinematic experience, where a film will retain enough of the spirit of the source material but not be slavishly devoted to it.
