Review of Ratchet & Clank (2016) by Geno1664 — 22 Jan 2017
This film is kind of a mess, but still above average for a game adaptation. As for both the animation and the voice acting; I have seen far better, but have also seen far worse. What really irks me is the plot.
In the film, it has a boring climax, unfunny humor, and an entirely cliche premise that makes it like every other family film with the "teary eyed dreamer" stereotype. Almost every element of the original PS2 game's story is the exact, better opposite.
It has a great comedy, epic climax, and an over-the-top buddy road trip style narrative. However, I have to this some credit for being far better than other game films in the past like the Super Mario Brothers Movie, even though whatever studio made this definitely brought their "B" game to the project.
But if you looking for a great R&C story, and you own a PS2, I would highly recommend the first game instead.
