What movies you think are good is of course a question of taste, but still:

My example has same baseline as this depate, and thus I call both of them stereotyping. |
To continue you example, let's say that all wrestlers have a genetically determined brain disease that makes their cognitive abilities lower than healthy people. Then it is not stereotyping but just a fact to say that wrestlers are more stupid (or in a nicer way, have lower cognitive abilities) than healthy people.
My reasoning is that movies based on computer games, so far, must be bad because of the innate errors in computer games. But as I said, I do not exclude that in the future, we may get computer games with qualities that makes it possible to make good movies out of them. That would be analogous to say that in the future, we may have smart wrestlers thanks to genotherapy that can alter their faulty code.
