The Oscars wrapped up this past weekend. The best actors and directors in the world got together to give each other high fives and celebrate how good they have been over the last year. Some left with little golden men statutes, others left with their millions of dollars still intact.
In thinking about movies and how they relate to video games, Andy decided to look at all of the movies based on video games that have released in his lifetime. Unlike Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, they have not aged well. Huge video game franchises like Super Mario Bros. and Mortal Kombat were finally being put on the big screen. Unfortunately, they were just as quickly taken off of it. They're all kind of bad, but some are just less so.
Hopefully someday the great minds of cinema will use their powers of good to make better video game movies, but we'll have to stick with Tomb Raider and Detective Pikachu in the meantime.
