Nope, the issue is not changing enough from the source material. Video games have drawn out padded out stories and static characters and dense lore filled worlds that have no business being in a 2 hour movie unless some coke-binged executive is really feeling themselves with their planned out 4-part Tetris quadrology
Ex. 1) all the nonsense in Warcraft instead of doing a simple Orcs vs Humans story.
Silent Hill stuck to the main idea of the game and it was pretty decent, Resident Evil changed a lot and was average.
Its not the changes that are always the key issue though, its the writing more than anything. A change can be made to work if its written well, but most of these movies have horrible or average scripts.
