Last year saw Hollywood once again attempt to bring the video game series Tomb Raider to the big screen with the aptly titled Tomb Raider reboot. After two previous films starring Angelina Jolie as treasure hunter Lara Croft failed to capture fans imaginations, thꦰis latest reboot stars relative newcomer Aꩲlicia Vikander in an uninspiring take of the classic video game character. Despite many having high hopes for this film, it's a poorly scripted mess with a few decent action set pieces with little more to offer fans of the game.

This process of video games being turned into bad films is something gamers have been dealing with for the past three decades. For some reason Hollywood never manages to nail the style or tone of blockbuster games, churning out pale imitations beset by bad scripts, poor special effects, horrible acting, and dodgy production values. Adaptations such as Super Mario Bros., Alone In The Dark, and the infamous House Of The Dead are absolute disasters that lack the fun and excitement of the video games t🌟hey are based upon. Considering the amount of money spent on these films it's incredible to think so many can be that bad.

Of course, every few years a shining light slips through the cracks and presents itself as a worthy video game to film replication. While they are few and far between, films such as Mortal Kombat and last years Dwayne Johnson starring Rampage, bucked the🎐 trend and presented an enjoyable game turned film adaptati♏on that hit ticked most the boxes.

To give you a solid overview of which films work ꦉand which🌟 don't, here's a look at the 15 worst and five best video game movies of all time.

20 ♎ Notoriously Bad: Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros. just doesn't lend itself to a film adaption. A game about Italian plumbers trying to rescue the stolen Princess Peach from a monstrous creature named Bowser is a ludicrous idea, but that didn't stop Hollywo♊od.

This 1993 atrocity stars Bob Hoskins (Mario) and John Leguizamo (Luigi) as the brothers who must stop Dennis Hopper's evil President Koopa. This film has a confusing storyline and so꧋me laughable acting and is incredibly hard to follow.

It's a hodgepodge of bad ideas that will leave you scratching you⛄r head after watching🏅.

19 😼 Notoriously Bad: Assassin's Creed

When it was announced Micheal Fassbender had signed on to play the lead role in the Assassin's Creed movie I was jumping for joy. This feeling of euphoria soon disappeared after sitting through this two-hour pil♍e of trash.

Not only is the plot all over the place but the CGI used looks dated and fails to capture the spirit of the game. Even🙈 Fassbender can't save this one, with the acclaimed actor often looking like he'd rather be somewhere else, which is exactly how I felt watching this flick.

18 Notoriously Bad: Hitman: Agent 47 💧

I don't care what people say, the original Hitman is a decent action flick, mainly thanks to the acting talents of Timothy Olyphant. This not-needed sequel sees Olyphant replaced by Rupert Friend – who at this stage of his career was best known for his role as Lt. Kurt Kotler in The Boy In The Stripped Pajamas – in a dumb action film nowhere close to the 𝕴fun of the first film.

Friend is totally miscast as Agent 47 in a film that tries to replicate the action of classic 80s films but fails miserably. There's nothing to write home about with this flick, with Hitman: Agent 47 so bad Friend didn't star in another movie for two 🌱ye🍸ars after its release.

17 🍌 Su꧂rprisingly Good: Mortal Kombat

I think I speak for most video game fans in saying not much was expected from the Mortal Kombat film. After the disaster that was Super Mario Bros., everybody was ready to write this flick off, bꦦut it actually tur𓂃ned out to be pretty good.

Following a similar storyline to the game, all the main characters are involved in a film with some top-notch fighting scenes an✃d an incredible soundtrack (the is mint). Although a little cheesy at times, this is𒐪 the definition of a B grade movie done right.

16 ﷺ Notoriously Bad: Far Cry

The first of many Uwe Boll directed films to feature on this list, Far Cry is a bad film based on the decent game🌳 of the same name. Til Schweiger takes on the role of Jack Carver and does an admirable job, even though he's not the greatest actor in the world.

This film, l🐈ike most Boll produ🐷ctions, is let down by an awful script, sloppy production values, and bad directing. The action scenes are lame and the storyline almost non-existent.

Words really can't explain how bad this film is.

15 🅠 Notoriously Bad: Need 🌼For Speed

Another video game that's doesn't really make sense as a film, I consider Need For Speed the film that ended Aaron Paul's career. Before this, he was at the top of his game having just finished the final season of Breaking Bad. No doubt he had his cho♛ice of scripts🃏 at this time, and for some strange reason, decided to make this stinker.

There's something about avenging his friends' demise via a cross country race and a lackluster supporting cast including Dominic Cooper, Micheal Keaton, and Freddie Mercury himself, Rami Malek.  This is a Fast And The Furious rip-off without any of the fun.

14 🍬 Notoriously Bad: Double Dragon

The lowlight of Scott Wolf's film career, Double Dragon is silly 90s action movie with an 8▨0s influence. Similar to the game, brothers Jimmy and Billie Lee team up to take down the evil Koga Shuko (an over-the-top bleach-blonde Robert Patrick) and reclaim half of 🌃a powerful amulet.

This is a stupid Western kung-fu action film with bad acting and an even worse script, filled with cheesy dialogue and head-scratching plot points. Even the addition of Alyssa Milano (who was just starting🐈 to breakout) can't save this unfortunate video ga♌me to film adaptation.

13 💖 Surprisingly Good: Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within 🥂

Not only is Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within the first photorealistic computer animated film ever created, but it's also a bloody enjoyable romp staying true to the ethos of the awesomꦦe RPG franchise.

Although the film is considered a b🎶omb (it only made $85 million up against a production cost of $137 million), it's a well scripted and directed science fiction f🔴ilm with a genuine emotional core. The cast is also impressive, with Donald Sutherland, Min-Na Wen, Steve Buscemi, Keith David, and Peri Gilpin all featuring.

12 Notoriously Bad: Wing 🧜Co🐻mmander

Very loosely based on the video game of the same name, Wing Commander is a low budget sci-fi flick trying to pass it♉self off as a Hollywood blockbuster. The special effects are extremely poor and the acting 💜less than desirable, with Freddie Prinze Jr. and Matthew Lillard poorly cast.

Many fans were also disappointed with the depiction of the feline aꦑlien race known as Kilrathi, with the film𓃲 version of the creatures looking more like lame puppets.

11 ⛄ Notoriously Bad: Warcraft 🌟

After wowing fans with his directorial debut Moon and followup Source Code, big things were expected for Duncan Jones' take on epic video game franchise Warcraft. The end result is a long-winding snooze-fest betweenဣ humans and orcs with some terrible👍 CGI.

Aussie Travis Fimmel just isn't up to scratch as human protagonist Anduin Lothar, while Ben Foster is wasted as the magic welding Medivh. F𒆙or fans of the game, this is a really disappointing effort and one many had high expectations for.
