It has taken God knows how long to get there, but we're finally in a place where video-game adaptations aren't generally considered DOA automatically. Much thanks for that goes to the small screen, not least HBO's splashy TV adaptation of The Last of Us, watched by millions in its first season and steeped in critical praise like a mushroomified corpse stuffed with cordyceps.

After two decades of comic book movies dominating the box office, it looks like video game adaptations are the next big thing in Hollywood--and for Prime Big Deal Days, several of these movies and TV series are on sale at Amazon. The deals include recent releases like A Minecraft Movie and classics like the Angelina Jolie-starring Tomb Raider flicks. We've rounded up even more deals below.

The Cabin in the Woods meets Groundhog Day, a parade of horrors where each fresh night brings something new and terrible. Sandberg remains an excellent director of horror.

The Detective Pikachu Limited Edition Steelbook is currently on sale for $28, matching its all-time low price, down from a previous high of $42.49.

Chris Pratt's voice in the Mario film felt underwhelming compared to his co-stars, leading to a perception of lazy casting aimed at star power rather than authenticity.

Druckmann emphasizes his support for a Crash Bandicoot movie, but noted that Naughty Dog does not own the franchise and Microsoft would need to approve it.

Zelda fans can save big on the awesome official manga adaptations of some of Link's most memorable adventures.

Fallout found success by adapting the world, not a specific story. This strategy paid off with acclaim for Season 1 and an early renewal for Season 2.
