Video Game adaptations are a
cursed breed, aren’t they? If they’re not critical failures they’re commercial
failures, and that’s why it’s heart-breaking as a fan to see that Ratchet and
Clank was a critical and commercial flop. Produced on a $20m budget, it made
back only $13m, it would’ve needed to have made nearer $50m to be classified a
success. The critics lambasted it and holds a staggering 16% on Rotten
Tomatoes.
So are the critics right?
Why did this movie fail? I have a few theories but there’s start by looking at
the plot.
