Top 5 Video Game Movies That Missed the Mark

Author : Allison Update：Apr 27,2025

The video game movie genre is notorious for producing more than its fair share of disappointments. Iconic flops like the 1993's *Super Mario Bros.* and 1997's *Mortal Kombat: Annihilation* are infamous for their poor quality and for missing the mark on what makes their source material so beloved. However, there's a silver lining as Hollywood has shown some improvement in recent years. Films like the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series and *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* demonstrate a more promising approach to adapting video games. Despite these strides, the genre still struggles with its fair share of duds, with *Borderlands* being a notable example.

Hollywood's persistence in tackling video game adaptations is commendable. Given the low bar set by some of the worst entries in the genre, it's challenging to produce something even less appealing. Here's a look at some of the most abysmal video game movie adaptations to date:
