The world of video game movie adaptations has often been a minefield of disappointments. Classics like 1993's Super Mario Bros. and 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation are notorious for their abysmal quality and their failure to capture the essence of the games they were based on. However, recent successes such as the Sonic the Hedgehog series and The Super Mario Bros. Movie signal a promising shift in Hollywood's approach to these adaptations. Despite these improvements, there are still notable failures, with Borderlands being a prime example.
Hollywood's persistence in adapting video games to film is commendable, though the bar for failure has been set remarkably low by some truly terrible adaptations.
