is isn't ironically good.
It's not popcorn flick b-movie fun.

It's bland.
It's boring.

Characters are shit.
Story is shit.

Not on some, "I expected citizen kane" shit.

But in some, nothing about anyone or anything anyone did or said was remotely interesting or engaging.

This is shit people will tell themselves is good in a certain context, or because you shouldn't expect a quality film based on this property.

But no.

The games are disjointed. But the pieces, the framework of a good story are there.

We don't need people suddenly, magically getting powers.
We don't need mythical birthmarks.

We damn sure don't need brand new, movie exclusive characters.

The only thing even remotely god about this is Kano's trash talk game.

That's it.

The fighting isn't even entertaining.

This shit is a CW or Syfy quality TV movie, and it sucks even by that standard.

It's bad, bad, bad, and yet another huge strike against mining video games for film content.

The IP is there, but everyone involved in the writing, casting, acting, design, production, direction, etc of this film were absolutely the wrong choices.

This is the worst movie I've seen since the flaming bag of pig shit that was Jupiter Ascending.
