The realm of video game movies is littered with more disappointments than most other genres. Iconic flops like the 1993's Super Mario Bros. and 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation are infamous for their failure to capture the essence and excitement of their source material.

Movie, demonstrating a more promising approach to adapting these beloved games.
