Uncharted live action adaption - Starring Tom Holland and a horribly miscast Mark Wahlberg

Toolbox said:
I only just saw this movie existed because it was dropped in theaters and I was looking for a different movie. I think it started showing on Feb 18th? Shows how little they care about it that they barely announced when it was even coming out.

It's one of those films were you first found out about it when people complained about how bad the first trailer was. You then forgot about it and finally remember it a couple of days after it came out because some people started talking about it on kiwifarms again.
Talk about solid marketing.

And it took them 13+ years to make it, too.

I've only played part of the third game and that was more than enough. The gameplay was ripped off from Tomb Raider: Legend, it was filled with cutscenes and SUPER DEEP STORY, and every level consisted of shooting waves of enemies before triggering a quicktime event. It's no Atari Pinball, I'll tell you what.


Ha ha ha. Battle of the manlets.

Everything looks so fake. You can tell it comes from the same studio that owns Playstation and made the Assassin's Creed movie. Just a shitty generic tie-in to make a few bucks off overseas retards who coom their pants at the sight of Spider-Manlet. I'm surprised Zendaya's not it.

I hated UC3 since we didn't see the stuff from the big pot released.

Holy shit, the trailer is awful.

Tom Holland may be the biggest miscast for a role I've ever seen. He might have worked as a young teen Drake in flashbacks, but not as the adult lead.

Yeah, he just can't play anything except a teenager. Which is a problem I have with modern Hollywood "stars" like Zendaya, Chalamet and Jennifer Lawrence. They've got too much damn neoteny going on with their faces so I can never believe they're playing adult characters. The result is now A-list Hollywood actors either are young like Tom Holland or middle aged (40-50) to outright old. Unlike ten years ago where it was easy to cast roles in the 25 to 35 range.

I didn't know who fucking Chalamet was until Dune. But that's just me

Yea, I noticed that too, that there are so many stars doing action today that are in their 40s, 50s, hell even their 60s when they do this stuff, and on the flip side a bunch of guys who look teenage are trying to pass as adults. Sure, it’s possible to find middle ground with folks like Chris Hemsworth, John David Washington, etc., but that’s few in between.

Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp and Nicholas Cage are almost 60!!!! Kenu Reeves is in his mid fifties. And their still aren't any replacements for them.

A question for anyone who's actually seen the movie, does Strong Black Woman really kill Antonio Banderas and take over as the antagonist? The plot summary on wikipedia makes it sound like she does and I cannot express how completely unsurprised I am.

She does and she's easily the worst part of the movie. Because we at least get to know Antonio Banderas a little instead of "I like treasure and I kill good".
The movie itself is a solid "I don't regret watching it, but I won't go out of my way to see it again"/10.
At least they got a grasp on Uncharted's over-the-top action set pieces.

I watched it, and I am a huge fan of the series since the first game came out.

It’s… perfectly fine. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. The action was fun. It’s was weirdly edited though, like a lot of scenes were cut so short. If there is a directors cut in the future, it may just raise it up a little.

Tom Holland did an ok job, I guess. He’s still too young, and doesn’t have that fun, charming swagger Nate has.

Overall, it’s just okay

National Treasure is the closest & most accurate Uncharted live action we ever got. That said this wasn't a bad film, just a pretty bland one.
