== Why It Rocks ==
# Beautiful animation, especially for 2018 standards.
# The concept of 3 PlayStation characters going on a quest is very creative.
# The film is a big improvement over Ratchet & Clank (2016). However, the film was made by Gramercy Pictures while this film was distributed by 20th Century Fox.
# Sackboy and his friends are all very likable.
# Stocking does a very good job as a villain, and her backstory is very emotional. Her family was killed by a plague while in the mayan land.
# Yellow from LocoRoco makes an appearance in the movie as he visits the hotel with Sackboy, Sly Cooper & Sir Daniel.
# The landscapes are wonderful to look at.
# Awesome music score by Paul Intson.
# The film's cover of Lay All Your Love On Me is beautiful.
# Wonderful voice acting from actors such as Emily Browning, Roger Craig Smith, Greg Page, Anna Paquin and others.
#It does a good job at not cashing in on dead trends which makes it suitable for teens and adults to watch.
#The visual effects on Stocking's robot MAWLR is very impressive. In fact, the visual effects in the movie earned it a Grand Lake Award for Best Visual Effects.
#It has a good grasp of the source material.
#We finally get to hear Sir Daniel talk for the first time instead of him just murmuring.
#It has some interesting cameos. In one scene, you can see Ann Takamaki from the Persona video games in a choir with the citizens of Parappa Town. There is also a cameo of the apes from Ape Escape.
== Bad Qualities ==
# Some of the people in the mayan land can be unlikable.
# The film was almost a box office bomb due to it being overshadowed by other hits like Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Infinity War. Thankfully, the film was saved from it being a failure.
# Stocking is somewhat of a Mary-Sue.
# The scene where the MAWLR zooms up to the screen for 5 seconds can be scary for younger viewers.
#Misleading Title: Sackboy, Sly Cooper & Sir Daniel aren't musketeers till the 2nd half of the beginning and during the final battle.
#Bad Release Date: The film opened the same day as Deadpool 2 which was another film released by Fox.
