Ratchet and Clank movie Ends Up in the Red at Metacritic (28)

>Video game movies

Hope this reinforces to you guys just how bad video game stories are. So lmao at anyone that plays 'games for the story'. You muppets.

Sony Pictures Animation gave this a wide berth. This movie was made by another creative company.

Silent Hill was pretty good though. Of course they made a 180 and it went to total shit with the second movie.

Rotten Tomatoes isn't a review site. It's an aggregate.

What people have turned Metacritic/RT into -- especially fucking retarded gaming fanboys -- is a dick-measuring battlezone where your favourite video game/movie/tv show 'wins' over something else. A month back all the Batman v Superman fanboys spent half their day watching boxofficemojo and Rotten Tomatoes in an effort to combat the onslaught from Marvel fanboys. Now if you look at the Captain America 3 imdb forum, you'll see the same damn thing.

The 'trick' with reading reviews is to find a reviewer that you trust (it shouldn't even be a trick either. It's just common sense). My personal favourite, Steven Greydanus, gained my trust when he absolutely shitted on The Lion King -- my previously favourite animated film ever -- and I had no argument to back it up. It also helped that I kept agreeing with him on contemporary releases four times out of five, and he watches the films I intend to watch.

I also ask @jg4xchamp 's opinion on television series to watch, since I can't be arsed watching most of them and he knows what a good tv/film should be like any professional reviewer.

It means nothing really. Videogame stories don't need to be too fleshed out because you make part of the story as you go along. Your adventure fills holes that would otherwise be wide open in a movie where you're not as involved.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with playing games for story. This was just a bad movie, nothing more.

It's unfortunate but not surprising that Sony failed to release any sort of Pixar quality animated film. Aren't they coming out with a Sly Cooper film too? That will bomb too I'm guessing. These PlayStation characters just doesn't seem to have any appeal to them like other true gaming icons like Mario, Zelda and Master Chief, etc. which already have numerous films. PlayStation just doesn't have leading mascots in gaming so it's not surprising if they make films about them they get critically abused because they just aren't that good. Wish Sony used the resources on making a new game rather than trying to milk the franchise with a remake and useless movie. Maybe they could make an Uncharted movie, never mind we already have Indian Jones classic films and reboot in the works and Tomb Raider older films and reboot in the works. Wait I think I remember Marky Mark Wahlberg is going to play Nathan Drake in an Uncharted movie, not sure though if anything changed.

I think there's something wrong with playing games for a story if the gameplay is shit. That's what some people like to argue, and I take offence at such an opinion because I like to believe the gaming community isn't that stupid. As John Carmack said, stories in games are like stories in porn, it's going to be there but it's not important.

To add insult to injury, those type of buffoons cite games like To the Moon, that awful game that uses autism as a plot twist.

The movie is aimed for the average dead brained sony fanboy. So yeah the meta score is spot on.

The humour is a bit weaksauce in the game and a whole movie of that would get boring real quick.

I saw Hardcore Henry yesterday and that was fun. It wasn't a 'good' movie but I don't think I ever had so much fun watching a movie in the cinema. My dad loved it to bits. Funny to see the critics score it so low, but the people who watch it score it so high. There is some tangible disconnect there between critics and end users. Makes me wonder if the movie is good or bad? I don't really feel like watching it.

Same thing happens to the majority of Nintendo titles.
