Ready Player One was out this month, Tomb Raider and Jumanji surprised everyone... video game movie adaptations are not going anywhere, but what standard are we holding them at? Has the bar been set so low, that anything even remotely good is a success? Why are so many video game films unsuccessful? Why am I repeating the same information I wrote in my Tomb Raider review?
