The video game movie genre has historically been plagued by more than its fair share of disappointing adaptations. Films like the 1993's *Super Mario Bros.* and 1997's *Mortal Kombat: Annihilation* have become infamous for their poor quality and for failing to capture the essence of the beloved source material. However, there's been a notable improvement in recent years, with successes like the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series and *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* paving a more promising path. Despite these advancements, some films still fall short, with *Borderlands* serving as a recent example of what not to do.
Hollywood's persistence in adapting video games into movies is commendable, and it's reassuring to know that the bar for quality has been set so low by some past efforts that there's plenty of room for improvement.
