Review of Ratchet & Clank (2016) by Ratchetryno — 19 Jun 2017

It sucked. The worst thing about it is the Fanboys/girls defending this, OK sure many people have their own opinions and I can't deny that. This movie hurt me, as huge fan of the Ratchet and Clank games since the 2nd game: Ratchet and Clank 2 Locked and Loaded.

I was excited/hyped with the movie; I certainly hoped this movie would be the first video game movie to be at-least decent. Oh how hype disappoints... Why did we even bother? Just why? The Jokes are very cringe worthy unfunny and predictable.

Too many bogus pop culture references! The way they have changed Ratchet's personality is just the worst, made him this stereotypical nerd that wants to be a goody two-shoe Galactic Ranger. What's with this cliché "I want to be this but I can't because I am an underdog.

" it's stale. The Galactic Rangers is just really boring. Cora Veralux is a bland excuse of a bad-ass character. Most of the characters were uninteresting. This movie could've been so much better but unfortunately it resorted to hiring big actors like Sylvester Stallone which was there just for the huge paycheck! This could've been a down to earth movie about a furry mechanic who becomes a hero of his galaxy while developing a relationship with his robot companion Clank.

Instead we got a cringe worthy adventure with a nerdy naive mechanic that instantly become best friends without any character development whatsoever that wants to be a galactic ranger. This movie crammed years of Character arc and effort that the first few games had down to a 90 minute movie and got rid of what made the characters special to begin with.

This is just a huge reason why Games should stay as games. Don't give me this excuse of it's made for kids because I have seen movies who were aimed at young audiences yet adults and kids enjoy. Just because It's made for kids doesn't mean it escapes criticism.

If this movie didn't have Ratchet and Clank plastered all over it people would be calling out for what it is. An unfunny cliché mediocre kiddies movie. Just play the Games instead. Avoid this movie. (Oh I cannot wait for the negative votes on this review by rabid fanboys that cannot take opinions.
