Well the first review is in, and it's not awful. But it's also just OK. I expect It will get crucified by a lot of reviewers.

Energetic, video game-inspired animation that just about does the job
Still, it strikes a neat balance between remaining faithful to its video game origins whilst finding its niche amidst comparable filmic fare (Guardians of the Galaxy, Big Hero 6, Despicable Me); in fact, it’s so in keeping with the cinematic climate that it seems more derivative than it is. And it fails to cultivate much pathos due to a slightly under-established dynamic between its leads and Ratchet’s thin back-story. The lack of scope for emotional engagement and unoriginal feel means it'll likely be a distant memory by bedtime but, in the moment at least, this reasonably well-oiled enterprise has just enough spark.
PlayStation favourites transfer to the big screen with plenty of energy, if not much in the way of emotional engagement or originality.
