The world of video game movies is littered with more flops than most genres can boast. Classics like the 1993 Super Mario Bros. and the 1997 Mortal Kombat: Annihilation have become infamous for their spectacular failures and their inability to capture the essence of the games they're based on.

Movie, which demonstrate a more promising approach to adapting beloved games. However, not all attempts have been successful, as evidenced by the disappointing Borderlands adaptation.
Hollywood's persistence in tackling video game adaptations is commendable, especially considering the low bar set by some of the genre's worst offenders. Here's a look at some of the most abysmal video game movie adaptations that have set the standard for how low a film can go:
