Super Mario Bros. (1993) was a cult classic.
The 2023 movie is forgettable garbage.
The Sonic movies are fun though. Knuckles TV as well.
Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24
Bob_Robertson_IX@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day agoFirst, it’s A24 and they put out amazing movies .
Second, Detective Pikachu, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros Movie, and I’m not sure if it would count, but Wreck It Ralph are all good video game movies.

The Hoper Mario is something - it’s so off the rails, that it’s crusing on anothet track.

Wreck It Ralph doesn’t count because it wasn’t based on an actual video game, but on video games in general. But it was indeed great.

I don’t know, just because the video game isn’t real doesn’t mean that the movie isn’t based off of a video game. I think it just shows that the reason most video game movies fail isn’t because the movie is bad, but because the fans are too harsh. If Wreck It Ralph replaced the main characters with characters from Mario but still had the same basic plot I don’t think it would have been as well received.

You just listed a bunch of animated children’s movies?
If you’re looking for actual examples there’s Silent Hill, Fallout, or The Last of Us.

I don’t think I’d consider Detective Pikachu or Sonic to be animated. Just like I wouldn’t consider Fallout or Last of Us to be movies.
