For whatever reason, video games and movies [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|don't play well together]]. Every so often, someone [[Wingding Eyes|with dollar signs]] in their eyes will try to make a movie based on a video game franchise, only to run into this unscalable wall: '''Video Game Movies Suck'''.
 
It's kind of hard to say why. Some would say that video games are essentially just movies that have showmanship sacrificed in favor of control, so sacrificing the control leaves you with a bad movie. Others would say that video game plots are just bad, existing just to give the player an [[Excuse Plot]] to go out and fight things. Maybe directors just invariably pick the wrong games — after all, if the game itself is bad, then it's not surprising if its adaptation is bad too.
