Uncharted (2022)
They spent years, years, trying to bring the super-popular Uncharted games to the big screen. Finally, it happened, and with a double dose of star power. Not only did they have Tom Holland playing Nathan Drake, but had Mark Wahlberg along as well. Here’s how long Uncharted was in development: Once upon a time, Wahlberg was in line to play Drake.
It’s nice to see Holland not as Peter Parker (though he is very good in that role) and Wahlberg knows how to do down-the-line action as well. Uncharted is another globetrotting adventure film, and it proved to be a massive hit. It’s maybe not quite as good as Tomb Raider, but after all that tumult, just getting a solid film out of the chaos was impressive.
This is one of those movies based on video games you might not even realize is based on a video game if you never play them.
