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.
