The 10 worst video game movie adaptations of all time

One does not simply adapt a video game into a movie.

We’ve all heard of at least one video game flick that plummeted like your firing accuracy in Fortnite when you don’t aim properly and just shoot at random. Not good, right?

This is exactly how a lot of us feel about having watched any of the worst video game movies we’re listing here.

Games and movies both take us into worlds of fantasy and transport our minds into what is then and there. While each medium has its own storytelling techniques, they both have the shared purpose to entertain. But video game movie adaptations seem particularly tricky to pull off. That’s why we’ve seen quite a few really horrendous, comic, or just cringy flicks that used video games as their source material. Here are the worst of the worst.

Here is everything we know about ‘Hustle’ — the upcoming Adam Sandler basketball movie

The movie stars Adam Sandler and Queen Latifah and is produced by LeBron James.

Whenever comedian Adam Sandler is in the news for basketball reasons, you’re going to get my attention.

That was the case when he starred in Uncut Gems (2019), and it was true when he lobbied for a spot on the Los Angeles Lakers this past week. The 54-year-old actor, known for his on-court style highlighted by iconic long mesh shorts and oversized shirts often spotted in viral videos, is a hoops legend in his own right.

His forthcoming film Hustle, which is produced in tandem with LeBron James’ production company SpringHill Entertainment, is Sandler’s latest venture on the hardwood. As always, whenever Sandler enters the sports world, there are plenty of reasons to get excited.

7 sports movies people wrongly think are rom-coms

Stop the madness, people.

We’ve all been there: It’s movie night with your friends or significant other and you’re in the mood for a classic sports flick. The problem is some of the most exceptional athletic feats ever captured on film have been carelessly categorized into another genre: The Rom-Com.

Listen, there’s nothing wrong with romantic comedies. I love the Holy Chrises — Evans, Hemsworth and Pine — and I LIVE for those celebrity-loaded movies where they juggle 12 different storylines only to tie it all together at the end. But it’s time for some of the best sports films of our generation to finally get the credit they deserve.
