To be fair the NCU should have taken a break after “Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Game Over”. Sure it broke box office records and it’s beloved by fans but its 315 minute run time was way too long. It’s going to be hard to top Chris Pratt’s Mario sacrifice himself to save all of the multiverse. Plus following up…

Also... the ads on this site are as gross as the keeping individuals “grey” in the chat. It’s a ridiculously dated, and stupid system. It’s a form of censorship, muting what people say...

Honestly, the main difference is now when a studio adapts an IP, they actually pay attention to the source material. The original Mario movie stopped at “So these guys are plumbers” and then made the rest of the film completely unrecognisable as a Mario product. Whether you think the new movie is good or not, it’s a…

If thats the price we have to pay to get a quality Zelda movie... so be it

Did I miss the memo where someone said Hollywood(or the hundred of non-US based movie industries) are only allowed to make video game movies? This will be like any other movie trend in the hundred years if cinema. The genre will be popular, a lot of movies(but not all movies) will be made in the genre. Some will…

NBA Jam is ripe for a NBA cameo’d cheap film.... it's so easy to make. It would be awful, but it's literally money on the table.

It would be a fantastic TV series... An anthology, that would cover portions of FF over seasons.... like cover the “sword and sandles epic” portions, a LoTR/GoT style covering the fantasy elements. Then keep much of the cast and production, like AHS/Hill House, does. Do a full on Steam Punk version for season 2, and…

That hasn’t been happening for Disney lately though. And most of their recent financial successes have been sequels or remakes. The other animation companies have been beating Disney at the box office despite not really having the multilayered movies that we might want.

People like you and this writer are what’s wrong with the world. No one cares about your opinion, and I’m wondering why you or they care so much about what other people do. I hope it’s me you try to patronize one day ;)

I love how so often the defense of mediocre movies is... “No one was trying to make a good movie”. Say that to the film makers face.

THIS take is so tiring.

Yes obviously I meant since videogames became a big deal.  There were not a lot of videogame movies in the 1920s, I admit.

I mean, but so what? There will never be a world where only good movies get made. “Hell on earth” seems like a major overreaction. I get that it’s supposed to be maybe humorously melodramatic (maybe?), but the humor isn’t really coming through.

It’s really weird. I don’t know how you managed to include sound effects in this article but while reading it I could hear the sound of pearls clutching.

This is hella melodramatic.  Videogame movies have always been a thing.  They did Uncharted recently.  The Resident Evil series.  Hitman.  Rampage.  The third Sonic is coming up.  I don’t understand the histrionics in this article.

Eh, superheroes are still doing fine. Like, yeah, Ant-Man 3 and Shazam! 2 weren’t exactly big hits, but… I mean, Shazam! 2 was never going to gross even half a billion dollars. If you actually look at the well-recieved superhero movies from last year - The Batman, Black Panther 2, Doctor Strange 2 - they all made…

Im putting in a vote for the 7-Up "Cool Spot" game from 1993, because it had a bangin' score.

Oh the Christian fundamentalists are gonna protest the HELL out of an ActRaiser movie.

Time to dust off my Toejam & Earl spec script!

Before Super Mario Bros. Movie, horrible video game adaptations. After
