The world of video game movies has seen its fair share of disappointments, with films like the 1993 *Super Mario Bros.* and 1997's *Mortal Kombat: Annihilation* standing out as notorious examples of how not to adapt beloved games. These movies failed to capture the essence and appeal of their source material, leaving fans and critics alike bewildered and disappointed. However, there's been a glimmer of hope in recent years, with successes like the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series and *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* showing that Hollywood can indeed get it right. Yet, not all attempts have been successful, as evidenced by the less-than-stellar *Borderlands* movie.
Hollywood's persistence is commendable, and it's reassuring to know that the bar for video game movies can't get much lower than some of the truly abysmal adaptations we've seen. Here's a look at some of the worst offenders in the genre.
