The article discusses the evolution of video-game movie adaptations, noting a positive shift in quality over recent years. Following the 1993 release of Super Mario Bros., few adaptations were considered good until Sonic the Hedgehog's success in 2020, which marked a notable change. Other films like Tomb Raider and Werewolves Within also received positive recognition. Despite improvements, video-game films often remain B-movies, requiring a different standard of evaluation. The article provides context to feel optimistic about the future of this genre.
Promising growth is happening in the game movie space, and for that we should rejoice!
It's useless to judge video-game movies the way we judge other movies, so Vulture has decided to weigh them exclusively against their peers.
