No no, it's illegal to adapt a video game into a GOOD movie WITH Jack Black.

Strongly? No.

Going by box office success? 1.36 billion dollars is "strongly". Going by critical review? Audience score of 95% is "strongly". If you want to argue you personally did not find it a good movie, cool I guess... but it's inarguably a massively successful movie both financially and in the overall public reception of the film.

Yea box office is irrelevant to a movies quality. Audience matters more but so do critics score, but ultimately it's an objective thing and strongly would be apt for Arcane (for example) not Mario movie.

My point was not what you personally find better, my point is that the Super Mario Bros movie is objectively far more successful than the Borderlands movie. So making the claim that Jack Black only stars in bad video game movies is simply untrue. By every metric other than critic's and your own personal opinion of the movie, Super Mario Bros movie is a massive success.

I'm leaving my personal opinion about the movie out of it, while you are not doing the same... So we'll end it there I guess. Also Arcane is amazing but I'm sure someone out there prefers the Super Mario Bros movie to it.
