Its not like you cant make up a personality or well fine tune the little bits one already has.

That type of personality worked for other movies - no reason for it not to work in Uncharted.

They already sold mario's soul to hollywood, it made one of the worst movie ever.

According to wikipedia :
Budget $48 million
Box office $20,915,465

Even a commercial flop.Video game adaptations were never great movies. Some were average though (ex : Silent Hill).

ooooooh such a huge budget for this movie:O:O:O:O:O:O:O...21million box office isnt a failure...the excessive budget making this looking a failure:P

Anything that have earning of half the expenditure is a failure, at least commercialy speaking.

of course dear,i know that...read my comment carefully, i m not saying that is a success but it could be with a lower bugdet than the box office:P...watching the movie made me thought that is a 5-10mill bugdet movie...when i saw 48mill, i ve been shocked!!!!!!

Zelda or Metroid are far more interesting IPs for a movie. Or even StarFox as a fully CGI film could work.

Not much. It won't flop but it won't do great. If it had a unique story then I could see it doing well.

I don't think Mario would make for a very good movie, but it would be a pretty great show or series of shorts. Kids love physical humor, so populate the world with great supporting characters and leave Mario and Luigi largely silent and I think you've got something good on your hands. I mean come on, just look at Bowser in the Paper Mario games. He would carry the show by himself!

lol @ Drake having no personality! This reason behind this statement is too obvious.
