Video game movies used to have a terrible reputation… but not anymore. In this episode of The Movie Knights Roundtable, we break down our favorite video game movies, from the Sonic franchise and The Super Mario Bros. Movie to Detective Pikachu, Mortal Kombat, Need for Speed, and more.
We talk about why video game adaptations are finally working, which movies surprised us the most, and which gaming franchises still deserve better adaptations. Plus, we discuss the upcoming Battlefield movie, the state of Hollywood gaming adaptations, and some underrated picks that deserve more love.
