I REALLY wish I could like this movie

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2006)

I tried to like it. I really really tried. But it was full of plot holes, and was essentially a re-imagining of the first game, sans any good depth. Also, contrary to the Trivia page, there is a LOT of CGI, so don't let that fool you. The visuals were good though, and it was on its own better than a lot of other movies produced these days, hence the 6. But seriously, not very good. I'd suggest playing the games; it'll be more satisfying. It's really only worth seeing if you're a fan of the games, because you'll be willing to put up with more just because you love the whole series. Kind of like if you really like a TV show you're willing to put up with a few crappy episodes.
If you're going to see the gore and the visuals, well, you'll get some anyway. I've seen better, but I generally see worse. So, yeah. I just hope they make another one, and that it's better.
