In reality, I have not played many video games, and even less at that; played one that has been made into a movie. However, I have played Uncharted, and the entire series is a movie in itself, full of incredibly cinematic scenes and gameplay, and an incredibly rich story in every one. Therefore, the Uncharted games could easily become a movie or even a franchise with just how many possibilities there are in the world of the game. Thinking this topic interesting, I decided to do more research and give it more thought, and discovered a few things. I learned of a full live action super Mario bros made in the 90’s. And I have to say, its one of the worst films I have seen in a long time, even though it featured big names, the classic game should have never been interpreted into anything more than what it is. Which leads me to the theory of separation in the video game movie industry, where there are those that were almost made for being a movie,and those that should never be made into anything other than themselves. A few things I noticed while watching the movie was, because the Mario bros game already has a very vague story, the movies was not better, sticking only with the characters in a setting completely alien to what we know and love from the game, already losing my interest due to what I had expected and what I received. Overall, I realized that most games are meant to stay the way they were created, but every once in a while, a little gem will come around.
