The video game movie genre has had its fair share of disappointments, with films like the 1993's *Super Mario Bros.* and 1997's *Mortal Kombat: Annihilation* standing out as infamous examples of how not to adapt beloved games to the screen. These movies failed to capture the essence and appeal of their source material, leaving fans and critics alike bewildered. However, there's a glimmer of hope as recent adaptations such as the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series and *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* have shown that Hollywood can indeed get it right. Yet, not all recent attempts have been successful, with *Borderlands* serving as a reminder that challenges remain.
Despite these setbacks, Hollywood's persistence in adapting video games into movies is commendable. And while there have been numerous flops, it's hard to imagine sinking lower than some of the worst offenders in this genre.
