Review of Ratchet & Clank (2016) by Htgamer — 03 Apr 2017

I have to say that the Ratchet and Clank film is bad, and I say that even though I have played and adored the original trilogy of the PS2 games.

The movie didn't capture the essence of the Ratchet and Clank games series, which is about having fun with otherworldly weapons and platforming acrobatics while trying to save the Galaxy from some evil baddies. The film makes almost nothing of the Ratchet/Clank comical interactions.

The filmmakers just tried to make a cashgrab of a movie thanks to the remake of the 1st game which launched on PS4 along with the film, with a low badget and (more importantly) much less effort put into the script. Even if you see it as a kids' comedy it isn't that fun either, with the latest mediocre Ice Age films being more fun than this.

Great CGI graphics, but sadly the movie is really bad. Not trash bad, but still a big disappointment. No wonder why the Sly Cooper movie has disappeared from everywhere and it will likely never be made. Sony did a poor job and hurt their Ratchet and Clank IP.
