So a while ago I did a
review on Ratchet and Clank the game, without knowing there was a movie at all.
Now, returning readers, all 3 of them properly and that’s only because a gun
pointed at your head will make you read anything, will know that I have a rule
about movies based off video games. They are like a black rocking up to a KKK
party in disguise. They are asking for trouble. Now with Warcraft the black guy
walked in and out without anyone noticing and defied the rule by being kind of
good. Here however, the black guy walked in and noticed something odd….it’s
really fucking boring. I played the game which felt like a movie with a few
pieces of gameplay here and there just to justify the R400 (27$) I spent of it.
Even good odd Rocky himself couldn’t save this game…I mean movie. It even has
John Goodman, redeeming himself after 22 Clover field lane (not that he acted
badly, it’s hard to dance to a jukebox when a fucking psychopath is picking the
music), as a helpful father figure to the hero Ratchet. The movie was released
around about the game as a kind of marketing gimmick to try and help boost
sales. Marketing team, you could have sacrificed a hundred virgins to the god
of capitalism, Donald Trump’s hair piece, and still the movie would have be
just as interesting. Perhaps attaching a 100kg gorilla to it would have helped,
but then he would be running for president right about now.
