Ouch! 20 reviews now with on 4 positive reviews, so 24% Tomato score. This is one of the lower review scores for a video game movie. Disappointing, but not unexpected since they emotionally flatlined the remake game compared to the original. If they'd turned the original game into the movie, and then had the actual game being different in that it was being told from a different perspective it might have worked better.
Well, it's not releasing here for another 10 or 12 weeks and given how it's likely to perform badly it may not even release in theatres here. Actually I hope it does skip theatres here that way I don't have to choose between supporting one of my favourite franchises by paying to the movie, and doing what I do with all movies that review this poorly: ignore them and maybe watch them when they come out on Blu-ray or even get played on TV.
I bet if the Pixar folks had been shown a picture of Ratchet and Clank, and told to make a buddy space adventure movie, and that's all they knew about R&C they would have made an 80%+ movie.
