Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Oliver Thatcher Watson As a life long fan of the Ratchet And Clank video game series, this film disappointed me drastically. The fact that they tried to recreate the first games story while changing a lot of it was just a terrible idea. A lot of the things that made the first games story so great was missing and got straight up changed. Not only that, but this film is a lot more kiddish than the games. This film just ruins the whole feel of Ratchet and Clank and went a completely different route that made it kiddish and pretty much ruined instead of actually focusing on the crucial parts of the original games story. This film cut me deep as it took the story from the original game and ruined it. And because of that, I can't recommend this to anyone. And for those who love/loved Ratchet and Clank like me, it is suggested to stay away from it completely, as it will probably break the hearts of fans because of the ruined story and kiddish premise.
thedarkestshadow81 I liked the movie but I had to lower the rating because of that horrid "song" that played at the beginning of the credits. What idiot approved that? It is absolutely atrocious. I can't imagine what they were thinking adding it to the movie.The voice acting is good. Many of the voice actors from the game reprise their roles. The animation is solid. Fairly similar in plot to the game so if you liked it then you should like this movie. The length was just right and not overly long. I would not mind seeing a sequel done using the plot from one of the other games.I'd watch it again.
Michael Dante Okay, so basically the Ratchet & Clank franchise is my childhood game. I spent dozens of hours playing it, and 2-3 years ago, when the first teaser came, I basically was more excited than the creators of the movie. I wasn't hoping for too much, just a good animated movie, that respects the material, and can give me tons of laughs and actions.And what did I get? Ratchet in this movie is an asshole. In the original game, his most charming quality was his big mouth. He didn't give a damn about Captain Quark, he basically said that he's an over-hyped man. In this movie, he adores him, which kills Ratchet's inner person for me. I think it wasn't a right decision to change this.I had a few good laughs. For example, the ps1 sound effect, the Sly & Dexter "cameo", the "I'm listening" by Qwark, etc. But it was such a cliché movie, I was so angry that we didn't get a normal plot. We just got an another "you can do it if you really want" story.It's not a terrible movie. It respects the original games, it just doesn't really work as a movie. I hope there will be a sequel, or something with a better storyline.
Reno Rangan I might have heard the name, but seems nothing familiar. So it is very much like my first encounter with these game characters. And this is really a good first film, I enjoyed, but did not like, because I'm not the target audience. I know, many grown-ups liked it, but they had reasons like they have known this for some time. One thing that fascinated me was the production quality. I can't believe, it was not those silly B class animation, it was very much comparable to Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks films. The only thing that did not favour it was the story. If they have got that part right, it would have been one of the best animations of the years.So the truth is I tempted to rate it higher for the quality of animation alone. The directors, and all artists must be praised for that. If I were a kid, it would have been my favourite. So what I'm saying it, this film will be loved by children. There's not child film critic, otherwise this film would have been appreciated better. The problem is the critics did not like it, and so the adults, but families with kids might have chance to enjoy it.Some of the big names in the voice-over artist list, but that did not help the film to see its success. There's no innovation in it, everything you see in the film was already exploited in other films. All those the space warriors thing, the chosen one, villain, mad scientist, betrayal, you have seen them from 'Star wars' to 'Guardian of the Galaxy'. That is another reason for not having a good time with it. It is still very much a watchable film.5/10
