@@triple-d2640 It's more like the other way round. The game uses clips from the movie as cutscenes and ties them loosely together by gameplay and stilted in engine cutscenes.
@@y345vash9 I played it. As a die hard ratchet and clank fan I can safely say the gameplay from the movies game is really good but the story and dialog is is agonizingly bad. It used the movie for its cutscenes and tried to tie the events together from it. It was alright with some loop holes here and there. The movie is just that agonizing dialgoue amd story the whole time. They're both way better when you treat it as their own thing, which they are. Both the movie and game are non Canon. (Thank God haha)
Young character on a desert planet, wanting adventure, doesn’t know his parents. One day a robot, with knowledge of a planet-destroying space station, meets him and says he needs to take him to a group of freedom fighters. What, I’m describing Ratchet and Clank, a completely *original* story!
I'd hate to be an 11-13 year old because a lot of the stuff they like are dumbed down and given to 5 year olds. Why can't 11-13 year olds have anything nowadays?
@@mykaruest6257 I know a book series from 2002 that's perfect for that age range (and older), but if course it's not translated into English yet... The movie rights were sold in 2012, decided it'll be a TV-series in 2014-2015, and then development hell since... I found the pilot script, and it's awful... Too many changes and pandering... It's a story that could become an amazing franchise if given a chance honestly.
Yeah the first 3 games had some really good humour in them, I remember being genuinely surprised at how funny the lady at the hookshot course was in the first game.
2:49 They announced "Two unlikely heroes would meet courage". Well that was the problem right there. Courage, the cowardly dog, never appeared in the picture.
I'll give SAC credit that it at least kept the comedic tone of the original games and had fun spoofing spy movies. The more recent games and this movie take themselves way too seriously.
@@dynostretch9215 I prefer the serious and darker nature of the later games honestly as it has character development, good writing for the plot and story and helps in a lot of areas.
They actually did make an animated series, fyi It's exclusive to a Canadian stream service, weirdly (though the pilot is on RU-vid now)... called Ratchet and Clank Life of Pi... the pilot was actually kinda decent with more game-like humor though seriously downgraded animation... As far as I know, it was cancelled even despite it showing more promise than the film
@@firelordeliteast6750 The accidental heroes in the absence of a true hero is far better. Because it showed growth on both sides with Ratchet maturing becoming less jaded and selfish, also Clank becoming less naïve while maturing as well in addition to keeping his optimism. Which push them to be better then Captain Quark and be real heroes instead of phonies.
Beginning of the movie he just wanted to be famous and cool. He ignores his friend and the other so called nerd because that was the way to fit in. He realizes that he was being selfish the whole time and quits the rangers. Clank talk him into coming back we he apologizes. That’s better then just becoming a less duch that they end up changing the who character in the next game to more loveable
You got to understand the movie was made for kids from the age of 10-17. So you’re not going to find the jokes as funny if you’re an adult the writing may look bad but it’s intended for children to understand. So you over think of the plot is just plain wrong. Like I wondered as orlder teen playing the original shortly after they came out why ratchet arc didn’t seem to make sense. Not really a event the happened that caused the change. But when I remember this game was designed for young teenagers it made sense
Mexico. Same story. Watched it twice, the cinema was just...empty. There were also ZERO promos or advertisements. Literally no one but me knew that it even came out, it went in and out unnoticed. Doesn't help that Ratchet & Clank is NOT a popular franchise in Mexico and I grew up with it by mere chance... After the end of its run on theaters, someone wrote an article on a newspaper, wondering exactly why this movie even was released here, which was hilarious because I don't think anyone even knew what they were talking about. It was absolutely horrendous for everyone involved in making this movie, I'm sure, but it was very, very special to me. This young girl had never even seen another R&C fan and was worried they'd never get to see the movie. I'm glad they kept their promise to at least try and release this movie everywhere they could, even if it did work out like garbage because the movie wasn't very good.
@@ShinyJulian Respectfully then, that's a stupid move on Insomniacs part. I understand they are trying to cater to the newer generation of players who started with the 2016 game, or god forbid, the movie. But I honestly feel they should only pick 1 timeline.
Fun Fact: Plans for a Sly Cooper and an Om-Nom film were also planned by the same studio but were cancelled. Teaser posters for both films was revealed, however a trailer WAS revealed online ONLY for Sly Cooper. Since EVEN MORE footage of it POSSIBLY exists, this means that it could be Lost Media.
I never watched the movie. Simply because I don't know the franchise as much. But it's cool for them to make a comeback for PlayStation 5. Great video man.
I'm honestly incredibly hyped for rift apart, its like rewatching a crack in time trailer when they introduced Alister. I hope they'll do a twist at the end like how they did with alister
I watched the movie despite the reviews because I thought fans would enjoy it more. Probably would've helped if they didn't strip out everything fans liked.
How hard is it to just take the story of the game and make it into a movie. I've seen people on RU-vid just edit cutscenes and bits of gameplay together to feel like a movie.
To be perfectly fair, Ratchet & Clank (2002) doesn't really have a cohesive story that could be adapted into a movie. Certainly not a good one at any rate.
in defense of the movie and the studio working on it, the entirety of the original story draft and script was replaced with a safe cookie cutter copy paste job because Hollywood execs didn’t like how it was, and this movie serves as a reminder that in the film industry you should always tell Hollywood execs to fuck off!
I think the joke: *Quark points gun* "Don't make a move" *Gun gets sliced in half* "I am listening" Was pretty good too. So ye, 2 whole jokes in the movie
They made Ratchet a generic kid in this movie unlike his different and interesting behavior from the first game. Edit: I’m gonna expand on this I’m not done. In the first game Ratchet was living by his own rules and just wanted to get his ship to work. He didn’t care about being a hero that much. This Ratchet is the most generic thing I’ve ever seen. A kid whose always dreamt of being a hero but he couldn’t cuz he didn’t quite fit in. That’s boring asf and was don’t countless of time and even better. In the first game Ratchet was actually cool and had an edge to him. He wasn’t a coward and he took no bullsh*t from anyone. In the movie he’s a cuddly little bright eyed plush doll that’s just soft. In all the games you literally go around shooting people to death and that sort of thing fits with a character with an edge. Literally makes the new Ratchet look like a psychopath. Let’s not forget what they did to Clank. They made him irrelevant and he didn’t contribute to anything. He was barely even in the movie. The whole galactic ranger shit ruined everything. The movie’s called Ratchet and Clank but they barely have any chemistry or interactions. As soon as they meet they become best friends. It should’ve developed like in the first game. Ratchet and Clank didn’t get along at first but that makes for great development. They learn to respect each other as they were on there journey and they worked it all out in the end. Alright I’m done. I needed to let that out 😭.
To be fair, playstation does have a good number of mascots, Crash, Spyro, Sly, Parappa, Nathan Drake, Sackboy, Jak and Daxter, Kratos, AstroBot, Sir Dan, Joel and Ellie, Rayman, Sora, the list goes on, and that’s coming from a mainly Nintendo and Sega Guy. Usually the Company is either, terrible at keeping hold of their brands, or too lazy to use all of them. also nice Game Grumps joke, 5:14
I’ll be honest the Wilhelm joke actually made me laugh. Usually the Wilhelm scream completely takes you out of the world and ruins the immersion, so might as well do something with it.
Even the game based on the film based on the game sucked too. Much prefer the original. Even their last PS3 game did a better job (Into the Nexus) then this.
I mean Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, Nathan Drake, Kratos, Ratchet and Clank, Aloy, Sly Cooper, are all pretty iconic. Some of those weren't even in Playstation All Stars Battle Royale.
Id argue the Sly series would be amazing if they adapted it properly. Those games had great stories especially the second one which even dives in to existential dread. Even from the first game they set up so much nuance and history within a few cutscenes. Just my opinion though, i think uncharted had very average stories. The games were great but the story wasnt what drove me to play them. Ive replayed the sly series numerous times partiality because i just want to experience the story. Just my opinion though and theyd probably fuck up making a faithful adaptation like with this movie lol
Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings and Bumblebee) was originally going to direct it but the Sony was trying to pressure him into rushing production of the film to make it to a summer release schedule even if it sacrificed the quality. He refused because he wanted to take the time to make the best possible Uncharted movie he can. Then he was let go. So Sony Pictures is more focused on fast tracking the project as much as possible quality be damned.
OnTop Tom Holland? I feel like they should’ve gone with that guy who played Dean Winchester in Supernatural instead. He actually _looks_ more like Nathan Drake.
In other words, the movie is bad because rather than trying to adapt a good story from a game into a good story for a movie, they instead tried to create a brand new story with brand new characters, only using the designs and occasionally tropes to fill out the rest of the space, which inevitably resulted in an uninspired children's animated movie. No surprises here. :(
Fun fact: Famous (especially by post-2010s standards) RU-vidr ElectricDragon505 called Ratchet & Clank (early 2016 movie) “How to Piss Off a Ratchet & Clank Fan”, because he had good reasons to give it his Seal of Garbage (but not to ignore the Ratchet & Clank games he admitted he never played, and yet, he did by thinking of them as how the movie represents it rather than actually experiencing it, at least at that time if not nowadays. While that does make it understandable, it’s also a self-discouraging move which actually kinda does make it understandable why the video got some dislikes).
Ratchet in 2002: I saved the galaxy solo, have literal abs of steel, beat the snot out of Captain Qwark, walked through toxic gas and space with only a o2 mask, and have guns the size of a car. Ratchet in 2016: oh no my hero is evil I'm gonna run away waaaaa!
I feel like I’m the only one who realizes that Star Wars the force awakens was literally a new hope with a new skin. Both feature a orphan teen on a desert planet who find a droid holding important info to a rebellion fighting against the empire where the desert teen goes with their new friends and blow up a massive machine that destroys planets
What most people don't know is that the games on the ps2 were satires on animated movies and they mocked captialism. The four games really emphasised how important money is to the galaxy no matter what. Even if you save someone, they would only help you if you pay them. While later games failed in they're story because they tried to become the very thing that they originally mocked
the ribbing on consumerism was absolutely intended, but calling the originals "satires on animated movies" is a bit much, I never got that sort of feeling from them
Didn't they also announce a Twisted Metal TV series too? But I saw it a few weeks ago, after forgetting it existed for years, it was okay, felt like they stuck a bunch of PS3 cutscenes together to make a movie, but I wouldn't say it was terrible, just needed a ton of polishing.
I think they originally wanted it to be tied into the games with a plot about Ratchet’s origins and meeting his father but the scrapped it for something general audiences could enjoy
@@LSMark hay by the way thats another one of the games plots and tbh that games plot would have been better for a movie it had huge twists like huge ones and it actualy felt like a movie story wont spoil it cause its to good but the games called ratchet and clank a crack in time or ratchet and clank future a crack in time (based of where you are. the game has 2 names for some reason)
@@LSMark That would've been pretty cool since "Tools of Destruction" kind of hinted at his dad possibly being around when you need to buy a gadget from the smuggler who says he got it from a lombax who "kinda looks like you" years ago. But then later on near the end of the game the villain says something to go against that, so I wonder how that concept would've worked out tbh. I wonder how late it was changed. Because Ratchet has an entirely different character model in the advertising, that resembles a version of him from the more recent game "Into the Nexus", where he's obviously a lot older. Honestly it's a good thing this movie is just being a one-off and Insomniac/Sony seem to be continuing the PS5 game from where ITN left off
I remember I wanted to see this movie SO BAD in the theatre and was so excited. I started dating a girl at the time and wanted to see it with her. She declined because she wanted to see the movie with friends. I later found out that it was her ex she wanted to see the movie with. Kind of left a bad experience. Later got a PS4, Got the game for cheap and started playing it. Also bought the movie for real cheap. But then I found out the movie and the game is the exact same story. So I played through the rest of the game and the movie has sat on my shelf this whole time because I found out later on just how bad the movie is.
If they didn’t make a movie, I know this Reboot game would’ve been exactly like The original, smh. They got rid of so many planets and original weapons.
I remember watching this movie and literally no one was there. This was in the first week it came out. Even the movie theater I went to played the movie in a room where a panel of the ceiling was hanging on by a wire just waiting to fall. It’s pretty sad that I remember more of room that I watched the movie in than I remember of the movie itself.
I guess it doesn't help that the movie came out around the time as the jungle book. Whether the jungle book was good or not it made nearly a billion dollars so it definitely impacted this movie
Sony actually does have a ton of iconic characters. PlayStation All-Stars was just bad. I’d kill for another stab at the concept with actual budget put into it.
I remember someone saying that Shadow the Edgehog was planned to be dlc for that game, but it got canned. We were so close to seeing him as a Sega rep that wasn’t Sonic
LS Mark: Did they assume the kids today couldn’t relate to an annoying, greedy guy that just wants to get what he wants? Because that’s what kids are. Children under 13: I AM OFFENDED!
> "The last of his species, the Lombax" > Shows PS2 era footage, despite the 'Ratchet being the last of his kind' only being canon in the Future trilogy on PS3. Hell, we get a female Lombax in Going Commando hmmmmmmmmmmmm
@@InsaneEnergy - Maybe because she didn't really leave any actual impact on the series. If she did, they would have brought her back in Up Your Arsenal
@@HypeVoiceActing I guess that makes sense. Btw, she was actually in Up Your Arsenal at the end during the cinema cutscene dressed up as the thief. She was sitting in the top right corner in case anyone's wondering
Actually There Is A Playstation Cinematic Universe Almost All The PS4 Games That They Published Since 2016 Are More Cinematic Than Fun (I’m Looking At You Guys God Of War 2018 & Death Stranding) So Thats Why We Didn’t Got A Lot Of GOOD Legacy Playstation Mascots Platformers Games We Getting A New Ratchet & Clank (Thats Not Sequel That Shity PS4 Game) & A New LBP Game In PS5
To be fair the deplanitizer thing was the plot of the first game. Take a piece from several planets to create the perfect one, destroying those Planets in the process
i saw this with my mom after we watched jungle book, we snuck in without paying. we were one of two families in the theater for the screening. i wanted to film myself standing on my seat and screaming but i didn't want to ruin the movie for the family behind us.
Sonic: Wait, I can explain. Ratchet: Paramount worked to fix your movies, while Sony left mine bad? Klonoa: At least your movie came out. Crash: You guys are getting movies?
Sly Cooper: Yeah, people say mine’s cancelled, but it’s actually still in development. Who knows? Maybe since MainFrame left the project in 2017, I guess DreamWorks can animate it.
expanding on the scene design, the og ratchet and clank game has so amy unique and cool ass levels that could have incorperated something into the story, like the 2nd level, the one where you have to get to the end of the stream before getting electrocuted and there are a bunch of slimes, black water city and its racing thing, so m a n y th ings The music design on the levels were amazing aswell
It's funny how when we're younger and see a movie like this we all just think "well that was a good movie :)" then later on we see all the faults of the movie
They probably advertised on Smosh because they knew that their movie would at least be better than “Smosh: The Movie”, making it look like a masterpiece.
@@yellow94ok I forgot Zelda and Kirby but nobody gives a rats ass about Animal Crossing and Splatoon except for Nintendo fans. When it comes to iconic, it has to reach people who dont even play on said platforms. Like most gamers know God of War, Halo, Uncharted, Sonic, Pokemon or Mario even if they dont own an Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo
I remember this movie, because the RU-vidr with the most subscribers in Italy voiced a minor character in it and he was genuinely so excited about getting a voice role in the video where he said it.
I watched it as soon as I finished playing the remake and really enjoyed it. The "Wilhelm!!" joke was the funniest bit😂 I guess I was more interested in the concept of a "tie-in movie" to a game, n just filled in the missing sorry parts with infomation from the game 🤔
I have played all of the ratchet and clank games and even the 2016 game. I also love the 2016 game, but what still bothers me is why they removed some of the best areas in the original game and the story was predictable. I also expected the original soundtrack in the game but more modernised, but they instead made new ones with small hints there and there of the original soundtrack. The movie wasn't as bad as I have heard people say, but it still bothers me that they had to change so much about ratchet. While the movie didn't bring as much money as it took to produce it, the game is one of the best selling ps4 games. Welp at least the new game rift apart continues from the original plot after Nexus.
I was so excited for this movie when I first heard about it. But yeah, basically just felt huge, crushing disappointment when watching it. They turned Ratchet into a total dork. I remember finding it really annoying that Drek, the huge evil capitalist villain from the first game, was just turned into a sheep and never mentioned again. Other than that I barely even remember what happened in the rest of the movie. I didn't even know this was the start of future plans to make other games into movies, such a missed opportunity.
Correction to this, Rachet and Clank was the second venture in this movie venture by Sony. The first was a really good adaptation of Heavenly Sword that was direct to Video.
Rift Apart literally feels like it should have been the Ratchet and Clank movie. The game basically plays out as an animated film with some shooting and platforming thrown in. They didn’t need to retell the story of the first game with the movie, something like Rift Apart’s story would have probably been received better by fans at the very least
It’s suprising a beloved franchise, that is owned by Sony (known for making great animated movies like: Cloudy With a Chance of Meetballs, Hotel Transylvania, The Lego Movie, Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse, Mitchells vs. Machines, Wish Dragon and Vivo) wasn’t succesful
the remake game was good....for the first few levels when i thought it was a full remake of the first game, but then sudenly it just skipped a bunch of stuff, and crammed dr nefarious in from the third game making me say why??
I remember being in 5th grade when this came out, my school went on a field trip when it was in theaters and the theater let us see the movie for the trip, but that’s the only part of the movie I remember. However the PS4 game this was based off of was so good
the ps4 game is shit compaired to the orignals and the ps3 trilogy i highly recomend playing those on a emulator or on original consol there that good i still play them about once every 2 years
I loved the Ratchet & Clank movie, it was one my favorite movies of 2016. The game that the movie is based one is one of my favorite PlayStation 4 games of all time. Edit: Ironic enough, it came out the same year I graduated high school.
