The video game movie genre has been plagued by more than its fair share of disappointments. Classics like the 1993 Super Mario Bros. and 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation have become infamous for their abysmal quality and for failing to capture the essence of their source material. However, recent efforts such as the Sonic the Hedgehog series and The Super Mario Bros. Movie have shown a promising path forward for the genre. Yet, not all attempts have been successful, with movies like Borderlands continuing to miss the mark.
