Photo: 'Uncharted'/Sony Pictures Releasing Generally speaking, video game adaptations get a bad rap, and for good reason. While a few have been entertaining B-movies (the first Mortal Kombat and Tomb Raider movies), the rest is—putting it mildly—of very poor quality. Either showing a lack of understanding of what made the games so great; time constraints in trying to fit dozens of hours of storytelling into something feature-length; or deviating too much from the source material. But lately, it seems like these adaptations are turning a corner. While they had their flaws, 2018’s Rampage with Dwayne Johnson and the Tomb Raider prequel-reboot with Alicia Vikander were enjoyable films that better captured the spirit of their games. And both Pokémon Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog turned out to be pretty good movies that pleased both fans and newcomers.
