I can't be the only one...
I've played some of the games and enjoyed them, I also enjoyed the movie. Why all the hate it's not terrible!
shareI haven't played the games and I do play quite a lot. Frankly they (game series) never seemed compelling to me at all but I still wanted to give the movie a shot. For once the critics were right. This movie was a steaming pile of manure. Actually this was the worst film I have seen in movie theaters. Also, this is just one of those bad game movie adaptations that will get forgotten in a year. I really hope this movie tanks after seeing it.
shareGood eye! it obviously sucked, as a movie on it's own plain and simple! regardless of gamer POV.
The audience got lost in the story itself cause there was none! paying attention to detail as though it were real life asking yourself why this and that is happening along with higher questions like why is that guy there and who is that and where did he come from?...film answer no of those and you were forced to set there and take it like a dummy who doesn't want to FEEL he got fooled by the trailers into watching cinematic flop AGAIN within the last 14-year suck period.
Pointless non-Jackie Chan slow fighting with hot faces and no heavy breathing after getting the wind knocked out of'em and doing 12-moves flawlessly later...that's crap Action with no rational explanation.
Like the audience is just child watching cartoons like Blues clues...no thinking involved for the average idiots. Sequel can't be produced based on the first one sucking...it's all money now days which is WHY it wasn't loved by critics and audience undisputed.
Based on the Box Office results it would seem that there are others (myself included) who aren't walking away from this movie talking it up.
As far as critics are concerned I can't remember a movie that was highly reviewed that I liked in a long time. They don't influence me any more than the talking heads on CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, etc. do.
