Both my 8 and 6 year olds loved it. My wife and I were bored to tears.Took the kids to it today. They all enjoyed it well enough. My five-year-old said it was "Epic!". I had a hard time staying awake.

Well, it can only go up from this point, right?
What was the budget for the movie?
Apparently $20-25 mil

The movie was extremely faithful it was just meh level. The video games are still good. The movie did what it was intended to do, introduce kids back into the franchise because most fans are adults now. Even if this movie was extremely bad it would still help the franchise nonetheless.
Well, movies are made to make money, which this one doesn't seem to be doing, so it's a legitimate concern.

They are making money. The movie is advertising the game to get kids hooked on other Ratchet and Clank games. Think of it as an investment.

The game has seemingly sold well enough to guarantee a sequel, and possibly even a bigger budget for a proper, full length game. And I'll take that over a sequel to a terrible film every single time.
The movie doing poorly, which shouldn't be a surprise really, just means there's a better chance Ratchet and Clank get some semblance of their personalities, or grooves if you will, back in the next game.
I saw this on Friday night. The theater was completely deserted with only one other family behind us.
I give it a 7, maybe an 8 in places. The pacing at the beginning is a bit weird, and the wipes and fades and stuff are SUPER cheesy... and you can REALLY tell when something is written by TJ Fixman and when something was changed up by the other guys. Some of the humor on the "meanwhile" texts that show up are really bad, but overall, it was decent and I liked it.
But for the love of god, I hope the franchise doesn't get axed because of this.
What does Zod's snapped neck think about it though?Chris Stuckmann's Review.
He didn't love it or hate it. He thought it was just a harmless mediocre movie. Better in comparison to some other video game adapted movies.

I mean, this is the fastest selling game in Ratchet history right? And Sony needs games to appeal to a younger demographic. Plus, Ratchet the game was well received by fans and by critics. So it hits on the checkpoints in needs to make a sequel, doesn't it?
Good sales
Good reviews
Good user base experience
I really thought this was going to do pretty well. I will probably still go see it anyways.
The number I've seen is about 10-15 minutes, which seems about right. Most of the clips they used aren't even full scenes from the film, they're generally shortened. (Not always seamlessly - there's at least one reference that goes unexplained in the game because an earlier line from the movie got cut.)I'm a fair way through the game at the minute and I notice sharing is barred during most CG cutscenes. I assume they're movie clips?
Because I've been skipping them. Do they basically add up to the whole movie (give or take)

I just hope Sly is better.
The game uses 10-15 minutes of the movie as cutscenes. But since there's substantial parts of the game that aren't in the movie (they only visit, what, four planets/areas?), the game has a large number of custom cutscenes too.R&C deserved better in my opinion, and it's really like Sony and Insomniac just lent out the property to Grammercy and Focus (NBC Universal) without paying attention to what was being done to it, just thinking that the synergy Game/ Film would be enough to carry it, both in reducing the budget (the game cutscenes are literally the film... or is it the film which is literally the cutscenes?) and with the cross marketing.

You think so or is that a joke going over my head
I'm down for a thread when he does the game review though.
" the films production house, Rainmaker Entertainment, used many of the same character models and backdrops as the series latest PS4 installment."
Game over, sort of speak.
