Who the heck thought this was a good idea!? I mean, are all movie writers in our current times dead or smoking hot pots when they decide to write a script!? What a waste of 2 hours. Such a masterpiece of a game, dealt in the horrible hands of studio executives who DO NOT understand the spirit of the game or what it stood for. Why is everyone promoting Tom Holland like he’s some wonder child!? He clearly doesn’t know acting or any gist of what cinema is. Neither anyone involved in the film understood what the video game series was actually about. They made a movie for kids based on a game that was made for adults, by adults. Seriously, stop making movies. Hollywood or Bollywood, learn from Tollywood or Kollywood or Mollywood on at least how to write scripts and watchable stories. CGI doesn’t mean a thing when you have a mish-mash of bull in the name of story, acting, cinematography, screenplay, music, plot, production values and most importantly, direction. Film making and cinema is DEAD! Give me a budget and a studio, see what wonder I WILL create to dedicate towards cinema. In the name of set pieces, the movie takes vandalism in a Papa John’s store, with no consequences. Some watery places, rock islands, some pubs, bars, a prison and rooms. Finished! That’s ‘Uncharted’ for you! So grand, isn’t it!? (Pun Intended) Forget all the giant locales and sceneries to be ‘explored’ by the protagonist. Not one actor was in the character defined by the game, all set pieces lifted off from minuscule parts of the game, not head or tail of the story, fake acting and forced emotional innuendos, story so forgettable and predictable that you’ll forget it the moment you walk out of the cinema hall, convenient plot choices, laziest writing, dull/absent sense of humour, even some of the action moments were copied in from the game. Is originality dead!? Yes, this movie is the prime and shining example of the same. Yet, it shall be saved on ratings by executives who’d create dummy accounts and applaud the movie for they’d get paid to do so. That’d propel more people to watch it in cinemas, rack up the BO collections and declare it a hit in Tom Holland’s name of fame. What’s with this wonder child of Hollywood- Tom Holland!? That schmuck doesn’t even know how to be in a role, plays always in the same ball-game for any role he’s given. Better go back to school and finish your acting course first and then learn from the big daddys on how to ‘act’. Still, there are people to back him up and buy awards for him, give him more and more movies for god-knows-why nepotism prolly which is hidden away. This movie should’ve never happened. Where’s the 0 star rating? Oh yes, on your face, studio executive bozos!
