Sloppy filming and sloppy action

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2002)

I've played the games and I had high hopes for this movie, though I didn't expect them to be 100% true to the games. First off the whole mood was lessened by the darn microphone that kept bobbing in from the top middle of the picture a 20-some odd times, very nice... Second, it seemed like this was a well over 2 hours movie that had been cut down to 90 minutes by someone very drunk. This movie could've been so much better with just a little more work, but it was sloppy. Is it worth the money for a cinematicket ? No. Is it worth renting as a video later on ? Maybe, if you're hung over. Is it worth watching for free ? Sure, why not.

X.
