    Garbage
    When you take something that is loved by fans and completely change for no apparent reason, I can't understand it. Nathan is nothing like Nathan in the games and neither is anybody else. IMO, casting was horrible. Neither Tom nor Mark remotely look like or behave like Nathan and Sully.

    Even if this wasn't tied to a game franchise, its a mediocre action movie. There is nothing special about this movie. The game was special because of the characters. The characters had depth and were established over time and experiences. The stories and characters are compelling the way they are, that's why it's a loved franchise. There's no need to fix something that isn't broken.

    This is just like Avatar (last airbender) and the DragonBall movie. When you have no respect for the source material it just ends up being meaningless. Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter were fantastic because of the great respect the directors had for the original works.

    Give a hack a nine-figure budget to direct, and...
    ...you end up with an unwatchable, endlessly-gimmicky movie from a game. It makes Liam Neeson in "Battleship" seem like a classic of cinema by comparison.

    Like a kid given a room fool of toys, Ruben Fleischer throws in everything including the kitchen sink into his action scenes. I grew up in an era when action directors like Don Siegel were trained in the art of montage, pacing, and credible action. Fleischer (no relation to a real action movie director RIchard Fleischer whose "The Narrow Margin" is a bona fide genre classic), takes familiar scenes, clearly inspired by Bond movies and recent Tom Cruise movies, and embellishes them with ludicrous stunts for Tom Holland (and his stuntmen plus CGI) to execute, turning the movie into silly nonsense right from the beginning.

    The two leading ladies are arresting to look at but would have been far more interesting had they been A-list actresses, say Bullock or Theron. I know Tom Holland has become a major star, especially in his age range, but looking across film history I can't think of any star as bland and uninteresting to watch as he is. The only comparable ones might be all those amiable but weak 4-F leading men employed during World War II when many actual stars were off serving our country in uniform, e.g., Sonny Tufts or William Prince. Holland even looks a bit like Prince when he was young.
