I didn't think it was a bad movie but I've never played the video game.
It certainly wasn't anything amazing but I watch a lot of movies and I've seen far worse movies that were touted as cinematic masterpieces.

I don’t think the movie was that bad. Sure was predictable, but it was fun.
Ok, how tf did I miss this many gaming-related movies?
And, should I be glad I did or not?
Bcs imho Borderlands is a solid rpg movie with a basic story imagined by a nice, productive dm (not the best as far as dms or rpg movies go, but like a reliable standard).
IMHO, the list in the OP are actually fairly decent, with the exception of Warcraft, Need for Speed and Assassin's Creed. (Not because they are bad but because I never saw them.
Here's an idea: Maybe stop making films no one asked for?
Even fans of the franchise didn't really want this. How do you translate a looter shooter into a watchable 2 hour film?
I really enjoy playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, 15 minutes at a time on my Steam Deck. I'm not sure I need to see some forced deep cinematic character development extrapolated from it. There's not that much to it.

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.
Deadpoolesque humour, Mad Maxy aesthetics with Idocracy-like characters and frequent Wick tier violence.
She looks so much like John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) in that photo
need for speed is the best video game adaptation imo, completely captured the vibe of NSF Most Wanted (2005), fite me.
I also think Wow could have been decent, but there seems like there was some studio meddling or weird cuts that makes the movie disjointed as it weirdly shifts tone to being about love.

Wow was a difficult one to make. You've got the cliche of humans vs orcs, but in the context of Warcraft the orcs aren't pure evil antagonists. How do you make a swords and magic story where neither side are the bad guys?
