The Trailer

The Review

Here’s another classic video game turned to a movie production. The outcome? Well I wouldn’t be surprised if you were to walk out in the middle of the film.

Yes it was that terrible. The game itself for which I’ve played has a potential in terms of the storyline, but it seems the director and writers has botched this one up.

It doesn’t help that the effects, costumes, and make-up was laughable. Don’t get me started on the character development. It’s like a one-day production of a Halloween party. Just put on a costume, and hope you don’t screw-up your lines.

The movie has totally ruined the game legacy.

The Good

• Maggie Q

The Bad

• Weak acting
• Cheesy effects
