Detective Pikachu is just a good movie. Being a "videogame movie" is barely relevant.

So is the goal of a VG movie something other than being a movie based on a video game?

Detective Pikachu.
Mortal Kombat is cheesy fun if not necessarily good.
Super Mario Bros. is my guilty pleasure.

Pokemon being one of the biggest/most recognisable franchises in the world, and it's mascot is right there in the title, but no one knows we're talking video games? Sure Jan.

Video games are still relatively new in the grand scheme of things. For comic book superheroes, it took roughly forty years for Hollywood to put out a movie that treated the source material with respect. I think video games have had a similar path to travel. We may see our "Superman: The Movie" in the near future.

Detective Pikachu was fun and I've heard good things about Sonic -- which I've yet to sit down at watch personally. If animated movies count, Street Fighter and Super Mario Bros. have good anime adaptations. I do think we will eventually see good live action movies based on action-centric games and not just cute cartoon animal characters.

Of course, the question remains as to how gamers will react to them. Will they acknowledge that a movie with good acting, good storytelling, and good action is a good movie? Or will they pull a No True Scotsman and claim that it doesn't work because video games, and their spinoffs, must be interactive?

I still didn't get to watch through Sonic entirely but the first 15 minutes or so is still leagues above what I'd expect from the average video game movie

Hell, I'd argue even the DIC Zelda cartoon was pretty good, if pretty typical 80s cheese. >___>

This is so random.

No I dont think he was good. I like the idea that Raimi was going for casting Topher opposite Tobey and being a literal doppelgnger.

but it was poorly executed in every way.

If the Metal Gear Solid movie ever comes out, I want it to have a stupid gimmick. Like maybe when you go into the movie, you can get a decoder wheel with a red cellophane window. When the movie brings up a green computer monitor with like design schematics for Metal Gear REX, you can hold the decoder ring up to see a hidden symbol, and when you decode the phrase you can enter it into a promotional website to get directions to a MGS movie merch drop.

this. the movie was pretty good, it would easily get a 7/10 from me. people that cry about it being a bad movie either never seen it or are basing it off of just seeing the trailer/commercial. if everyone that was interested in this genre or uncharted in general, watched it they would resize it was above average.
