The world of video game movies is notorious for its share of disappointments, with films like the 1993 Super Mario Bros. and 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation standing out as particularly egregious examples. These movies not only failed to capture the essence of their source material but also became infamous for their overall poor quality. Thankfully, recent years have seen a marked improvement in Hollywood's approach to video game adaptations. The Sonic the Hedgehog series and The Super Mario Bros. Movie have demonstrated that it's possible to create films that resonate with fans and critics alike. However, not all attempts have been successful, as evidenced by the critically panned Borderlands movie.
Hollywood's persistence in adapting video games to the big screen is commendable, yet it's challenging to fall below the standards set by some of the most notorious flops in the genre. Here, we delve into the depths of cinematic disappointment with a look at some of the worst video game movie adaptations ever made.
