The video game movie genre has long been plagued by more than its fair share of disappointments. Classics like the 1993 "Super Mario Bros." and 1997's "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" are infamous for their failure to capture the essence of their source material, often cited as some of the worst movies ever made. However, recent efforts such as the "Sonic the Hedgehog" series and "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" indicate that Hollywood is learning how to better adapt these beloved games. Despite these improvements, there are still notable failures, with the upcoming "Borderlands" movie drawing skepticism.
Hollywood's persistent efforts to crack the code of successful video game adaptations are commendable. Yet, it's challenging to fall below the bar set by some of the most notorious flops in this genre.
