Mixed Feelings
Spoiler
Hard to describe my feelings about this movie. It kind of fails its basic concept by just not having a lot of actual fights between characters from the games, and when they do come they're so one-sided it's not even all that entertaining. That being said, from a narrative standpoint there is some interesting character development, and a few genuinely really great moments. Still, that all feels overshadowed by the film's rushed ending, which feels like it glosses over the plot it was setting up.
I think this movie was kind of doomed from the start with its small budget and runtime. The filmmakers didn't have a lot of room to tell a full story of the scope they wanted to, so the end result is a movie which basically has no second act and jumps straight from the end of act 1 to its finale, and also has to sprint past most of the action the games are known for.
I'd say that fans of the franchise could get a kick out of seeing it, but because of its disappointing payoffs and lack of action it doesn't stand up well to re-watches.
