Videogame movies have never really gone away, but it certainly feels like they've had a bit of a renaissance in the 2020s. They're less crap, for starters (at least most of them are, anyway), and generally feel a little more catered to the nerd crowd who love the source material in the first place.
It's become somewhat of a ritual for me and my pals to get together and see the big videogame movies at the cinema. Even when they're a bit naff (looking at you, Super Mario Galaxy Movie) they've become this grand event that genuinely makes me look forward to whichever game is going to get Hollywooded out the wazoo next.
