Utter Crap.

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 2011)

By far one of the stupidest movies I've seen in a long time. This mess of a movie is an attempt at blending a video game with anime-style combat, a comic book and a movie in an unusual blunder to be funny. It completely fails. Even after watching about half of the movie I was still bored.
Although the trailers did make the movie look epic, it is anything but superb. Since "dorks" and/or "nerds" are now the new "cool" on the block, someone decided to pull this pointless acid trip out of their behind. The movie is filled with stupid effects, such as a pee meter, points that are scored whenever Scott hits or kills someone, and even picks up a 1-Up at some point in the movie. The stupid game clichés were incredibly predictable, as I waited patiently for a health meter to appear. It did.
Aside from the utterly pointless effects, the characters seem completely shallow and the story is utter trash. The entire story basically implies that it is okay to cheat on your girlfriend with another girl that you find physically attractive, and that the person you hurt will simply forgive you of your sins. Any impressionable child that watches this will definitely be in for a rude awakening later in their lifetime. The part that aggravated me the most was that one of the evil exes was a vegan, making me feel like they were implying that anyone who does not eat meat is a monster (I'm not a vegan, but it could still be very offensive to some.) This waste of money will most likely not keep the attention of anyone over the age of 35. I'm 18 going on 19 and it barely kept my attention. And I play video games for heaven's sake. I laughed a couple of times, but probably no more than three times. If you are easy to please with movies, then go ahead and watch it. Otherwise, pass it up. It isn't worth it.
