@@Vaguer_Weevil now i'm imagining it. A stwong independant women does something impressive and revolutionary like punching a bad guy in the nuts on a commercial and the audience ,also full of women with rainboy hair stand up and starts applauding like they saw a cinematic masterpiece.
I think the best movie that actually did a good uncharted vibe is the: 2011 the adventures of Tintin. That movie is really underrated, I would definitely watch it if you guys want a uncharted kinda movie.
Yeah I love that movie as well. They nailed the look of the books. It’s too bad it didn’t perform as well as it was expected to at the box office otherwise we would’ve got sequels.
@@countzer0408 i watched it in theatres and i really loved it probably top 3 animated movies i've seen in theatres for me. i used to read the comics before too I like how the whole movie has memorable locations from the comics
The funniest (and saddest) part is that the best Uncharted movie was that fan-made short film featuring Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake. That short film captured more of what makes Uncharted fun than... the Uncharted movie.
If they even went in that direction with how true to the games it is, it could have been so special. I love that short film with Nathan Fillion, it's bloody awesome.
They cast this movie like they wanted it to fail, hired a director with the most painfully mediocre IMDB page you've ever seen, and had it written by people who clearly glanced at the Uncharted Wikipedia page once and went "Oh so like Indiana Jones".
@@genericguy_ You're right, and its a crime that Uncharted of all things had to suffer that. Tom Holland is fine as Spiderman but he's really not fit for all the things they've been pushing him into
They can make easy money by adapting a popular pre-existing IP and market it by throwing in a few recognizable actors. Why the fuck would they care about making it well written?
Nathan Fillion should've been the pick for Nathan Drake. How can a Fan Film do better in a 15 min video than a full blown movie. Come on Sony, you need to look at fan feedback and actually look at the better picture. Joe, you need to do a reaction to Uncharted Fan Film. It's sooo fucking good and literally brings the character to life. Stephen Lang as Sully is Sully in real life. He brings the energy of him. You can tell Fillion was sooo happy to do this for the fans
I keep rewatching that fan made film every now and then, it just feels right, oh and that scene where camera moves behind Nathan like in game, thats too good
@@ZillDiddlY well it did jus that. i personally liked it. it felt like its own thing and took sum set pieces from the game. i wouldnt rlly want to see the exact same things that happened in the game to jus be transported into the movie
@@UnholyNekochan i can totaly think he wasnt a fan of this stuff and contract and did it because they paid enough to make him do it and giving a shit inside of him. also i found out he NEVER does promo stuff and such for his movies... so if you dont do promo and work for your project i think your pretty much doing it just because you need to pay bills or am i wrong?
I thought the 15 minute fan made video with Nathan Fillion and Stephen Lang was 1000% more accurate to the games and was actually fun to watch. They should of just used those guys
@@LaloLanderos16 That's the problem nowadays all these producers are looking to start the next mcu and have a 10 year cash cow but they don't realise that to do that you have to start off on the right foot and have a good first film to build on otherwise you killed your franchise before its begun
Remember how Mark Wahlberg failed miserably at playing Max Payne? These are two of my favorite game franchises of all time and Mark Wahlberg effed up both movie adaptations. Demote him to Netflix movies full-time.
I feel like that would be a really bad cast, i like him but it would only make us think about the mummy, the nostalgia would overshadow his performance. Also he doesn’t look like Nathan drake, the perfect cast is Nathan Fillion
Alex is fucking hilarious and his brutally honest attitude is really respectable. He just tells it as it is and that's just the way it is. No phony bullshit from the man.
Problem is the prospect of it being a prequel flies right out the window if you’ve played 3: Nate and Sully have known each other since nate was like 12, and he was a cocky little shit even back then. He wasn’t friggin Deku if he was raised by indiana jones.
The Nathan Fillion uncharted was so great that they even made you feel as if you were in the game at one point. Now that’s how you cater to a video game audience.
Opinions can be right or wrong, depending on wether you agree or disagree with one's opinion, but i get what you're saying here. Unfortunately for the fans, Alex is right.
@@commandershepard9601 Alex isn’t really right or wrong, he’s just blunt with his opinion. It’s funny to me how he’s making all the age related jokes yet he’s as immature as a teenager :)
I think Tom Holland is a fine actor for what he does, but he definitely looks too young to be playing Nathan Drake. Nathan Drake requires a man in his early 30s to early 40s.
I don't know how guys like him, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are always in some huge budget summer blockbuster, they have no range and play the same characters, how the world hasn't gotten tired of seeing the Rock pan toward the camera, smolder, crack a joke and fight in some ridiculous action sequence is beyond me.
Quite a few movies I've liked him in. Shooter, Deepwater Horizon, Patriots Day, and both Ted Movies. I could count the Happening but that one is defintely more on the side of a guilty pleasure.
Just because the casting is not what we wanted, doesn't mean the movie disrespects the source material and fans. This film is painfully mediocre, but It definitely doesn't disrespect anything.
I wouldn't fully agree. Nearly every generation has had it where studios either play it safe or chase trends resulting in crap. I don't really see how this generation has it worse.
@@Praisestothemosthigh369 Demon's Souls was for me. I loved U2 the first time, then started replaying it to get the platinum and got bored. But thanks to that I discovered Souls games 🤺
I’d prefer a movie out of cutscenes than live action, uncharted is the one franchise that doesn’t need a live action movie because the video games is basically a perfect story
There are plenty of people in the world that only want to watch live-action and refuses to watch anything else so thats why they make live-action movies based on cartoons, anime, video games and comics because those people will refuse to watch it if its not live-action.
@@CyberLance26 Yep I know of these people but Hollywood needs to stop pandering to these people. Like if they weren’t going to watch the original movie, what is going to peak their interest watching the live action version?
It's not a bad idea just poorly executed and bad casting. I like Mark Walberg but he was not a good pick for Sully. Same with Tom Holland. Not a good pick for Nathan.
It’s a toss up for me. I loved the fan film he did but..he’s old for the role. I think He is over 50…I’d imagine Sony would want to make this into a franchise assuming this one goes well and if that’s the case they would def need a young gun.
@@ppsarrakis right! They're aren't making movies for grownups anymore. IMHO Tom was the worst Spiderman ever. Not that HE was bad but the casting was awful. Spiderman was never a child. He was a young adult when he was bitten and he was confident and a smart ass. He was more like Deadpool just not AS Deadpool as Deadpool is Deadpool xD xD
Every previous game characters are all bastardized in this film. -Nate has a boyish attitude that the game version would never have -Sully is selfish and greedy, while the game Sully would literally go to the ends of the earth for Nate. You would think that after he got Sam killed (or so he thought), he would look after Nate like a son, like how the GAME VERSION LITERALLY DOES, but nope. I personally believe Sully got the worst of it. He doesn’t even get referred to as Victor "GODDAMN" Sullivan once. -Chloe backstabs literally EVERYONE in this film. Holy shit was she abysmal, all because she has "trust issues" from when she was like fucking 10 years old. -Navarro was far from a good villain in the game, but they strapped a fucking eyepatch on him? Really? -Sam is really the only accurate character. Didn't dig the facial hair, though. -Not once does Elena get mentioned. Not even a freaking REFERENCE.
I think Tom Holland would be great in a "Teen Wolf" remake, he's just too young for this role, same with Marky Mark. If you're gonna slap the Uncharted name on it you need to cast actors faithful to the source material. The Uncharted name is used to attract fans of the game, so give them the characters they know.
Holland and Mark should make 64 episodes of live action series and have the first 16 episodes be an origin story, then the next 8 be Golden abyss and the next be the first Uncharted.
@@the_articulated_artist I agree, felt pretty Uncharted to me. I mean, Uncharted the games are ridiculous. This was also ridiculous. The worst part was the casting, I still agree with that, but swap out just a few things here and there with the video game franchise and I think this would be a decent game from Naughty Dog. If it wasn't like this, they would be complaining that it wasn't like the source material. It feels like the lesson here is "video games and movies are mediums where suspension of disbelief and expectations are too wildly different to ever hold up to one another" ie no video game will hardly ever make a 10/10 movie and movie franchises translated into games will hardly ever yield a 10/10 game.
@@brettf5000 Maybe, but the casting choices were not good here. Tom Holland is not Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg really is not like Sully at all. Nothing like the video game characters.
I remember when i watched National Treasure that movie felt like a Uncharted movie to me even though im not a huge fan of Nicholas Cage but the writing for that movie was done in a Uncharted style without trying to be.
Alex - the joke where you saw Tom Holland and it said "15 years earlier" and you said you thought you were going to see a sperm swimming down a urethra - I found it quite amusing. Excellent work, sir. Keep it up.
It's a GAME MOVIE so that means they take all the most popular scenes from all the games and smash em together to try to make one zombified franchise movie that hits all the advertising bases and pleases the shareholders enough for a repeat. Like, that is the process lol ggame movies go look at ANY previous one and see how it nails that same process. I would wager than all the previous games have a better script and storyline than this shitty movie lol in my best Indian accent I say : "ohhhhh no no no no no no noooooo no no.... it wery wery baddd, werrrrrry badddddd."
Alex: "If you are one of those people that have ever like stood up on your couch and gave a standing ovation to a commercial this may be the exact movie for you." The best take on this movie you will find anywhere lmfao
Took my 9 yr old to see it, as I was eye rolling at the over the top play on physics, my son turned to me and said “this is the best movie ever!” I realized this isn’t for me, it’s for 9 year old me 😉
I agree with Alex; you put that name Uncharted there and you create expectations especially from us who played all 4 games. My friends said it wasn't bad if you distance yourself from the game....and me and my girl can't. Prolly why it was sub par for us, pity.
They should've called it something else, the cast would get people in seats regardless of the title, why try to bank on gamers when you know we'll hate it? How Hollywood still fucks these video game movies up is beyond me.
I disagree, having to disconnect from a beloved franchise just to enjoy their shitty movie adaptation is the equivalent of blindly giving up your money to the studios. It would’ve been better if nobody went to see it and it bombed cause then that would send a message to Hollywood. DO BETTER, we make too many excuses and give too many passes just to be disappointed as fans and casual movie goers.
Personally, that line of thinking only works if someone doesn't have experience in any previous title. Like if Sticker Star was someone's first Paper Mario game, they'd like it fine. But for someone who's played 64 through Super, they see the problems.
The problem with this movie is that we've grown to love the characters and the voices attached to them. The cast for the games is perfect. They get the characters. They fully embody them through their voice work. If you were to take Nolan North, Richard McGonagle, and Emily Rose out of the equation, you'd get this movie. Without that cast, Uncharted is just a fairly mediocre treasure hunt story. It's what the actors do with it that elevates the characters and the material. Tom Holland is no Nolan North, and Mark Wahlberg is definitely no Richard McGonagle.
As soon as I saw the trailer and casting for this I was like... really? Jesus. Won't be wasting my time watching it but fun to see your reactions. P.S. Sick Nile t-shirt! \m/
I must say I like how Alex went from "OMG I love every episode of GoT season 7" (which was almost entirely bad, honestly) to "stop supporting this shit" on every possible occasion now. What a pleasant character development. Go, Alex!
The core to the Uncharted games was the love for all the characters and their support for each other. This... this was trash. I hated them all and didn't care for Tom's Nathan. 0/5
@@Ye_Is_The_Way I wouldn’t go expecting real world logic in how characters act or how their world works in either the Uncharted movie or games. It’s basically a parody of every action movie trope combined.
The intro was actually done really well and stays true to the games, where you’ll get a crazy scene played through and then you get back to it later on in more detail, with it going back in time after the intro for the build up, very similar to uncharted 2 with the train, they did a lot better with this movie than you think, I’ve played all the games multiple times and I have to say I really enjoyed to movie - the casting for Nate and Sully wasn’t the best, Chloe was played decent; she even sounds similar to the games, overall I think it deserves above average even though it has its flaws
I do think Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg played their characters quite well, not perfect but really good, but as Joe said when you think of Nathan Drake you think of someone who looks matured and not looking 12 when he’s in his “30s” (in the games anyway)
Every movie version of games gets the same thing wrong every time. When you play a game, especially a game with a strong narrative, YOU are personally experiencing the events, reacting to the tension, personally earning the rewards and solving the mystery etc etc. For uncharted you become Drake, you move drake, you are jumping and running and shooting and so his sense of wonder and reward is your sense of wonder and reward. You build your relationship with the game world viscerally and physically over hours and hours. A movie is 1.5-3 hours long (at most) you cannot develop the same level of investment in the people and the story if you try to take from a 10 hour long game narrative and copy and paste into a 2 hour film. Movies will also take popular game events (which uncharted has overtly) paste them into the movie as if that is what we love most. The reason the clock tower and car chase in Thief's End works so well is A) you have half a game of build up to get here, there's tension and stakes B) YOU ARE CONTROLLING IT AND EXPERIENCING IT putting things like the plane in 5 minutes in miss, entirely, why it is enjoyable to have this in the game. "Watching this is far less engaging than playing it" This 1000% A movie is not a game and must develop its narrative and characters in an utterly distinct and different way or all movie adaptations will suck
I couldn’t agree more man, I think you are spot on with your assessment on why these video game movies always fail. Honestly I think the best way to adapt these games into live action is not to make them movies but make them into a tv series like they are doing with the last of us on HBO max for example. That way you have several hours over the course of multiple episodes and potentially multiple seasons to develop the characters and the storylines. Because like you said they are taking 8-10 hour games like the uncharted games and trying to fit them into a 2 hour film and on top of that for some reason they randomly take stuff from all the different games in a series and try to throw it all together in 1 film. Like if you look at the most recent resident evil movie that’s supposed to be like a reboot and start a new series of films more closely following the storyline of the main games. It’s a 2 hour film yet they tried to cram 2 whole games into the storyline instead of just focusing on 1. The movie felt so rushed because half of it was RE1 with the mansion incident stuff then all the sudden the movie turns into RE2 and even stuff from RE3 like what happens to the city at the very end to stop the outbreak. These Hollywood directors just have no clue what to do with these video game adaptions
Which begs the question : Why didn't they develop an Uncharted TV Series. Granted, it would be an expensive production with all the action-sequenses , but you would better connect with the main chararacters, even if you've never played the videogames. Compressing most of the games in a two-hour movie was never going to work. Plus, the casting was terrible in my opinion. So, the end result is mediocre at best.
@@JohnSTF72 honestly no idea. Possibly because as a massive franchise it gets a fast track to the producers office. Hollywood Is big on guaranteed IP's and on paper a movie adaption of a widely celebrated and successful game franchise is a sure fire hit. TV takes more risks (which means it would have been better) but Hollywood is still the one with the most money to throw at these things. Who knows, perhaps they won the rights to the screenplay?
I laugh every time I see Tom Holland as Nathan Drake. Its nothing against Tom Holland, its just that he shouldn't have got the part to begin with. I honestly don't know how you can mess up this bad in casting? Like who did the hiring?? I would have rather have a nobody star who I've never seen before. Then get this miscast of a mess. I still haven't seen this movie btw, and probably won't because I'm that annoyed by the casting choice. Anyone whos even remotely played The Uncharted Series would know Tom Holland was not the pick!!! (Sorry Tom Holland, I think your a great actor btw)
After seeing Nathan Filion's fan film i couldnt see anyone else play the role, Hell Nolan North would've made a better sully than Mark. Just weird choices all around
I don't know... I had a fun time with it. Mark Whalberg was a big miss as sully, but I thought Holland was okay (especially when he is wearing the uncharted 3 flashback clothing in the aftercredits). I think there is potential in a sequel to vastly improve on things. I'd give it a 6. Kinda felt the same as I did with the Tomb Raider reboot. Parts of it felt rushed and I think it's hard to jam an 8 hourish story into 2 hours.
Like Alex said "If you are one of those people that have ever like stood up on your couch and gave a standing ovation to a commercial this may be the exact movie for you."
No one has an open mind they are all closed off I already knew it would not be as good as the games if you all expected it too be better then the games then you set yourself up to hate it. I want the movie to be a success too see what a sequel can bring if it can be better I think too many are comparing it too the games that are leaps ahead of everything those are masterpieces and can never be topped.
wait wait wait… this Nathan is supposed to be fully adult 30 year old Nathan??? I thought it literally was supposed to be his first big adventure at 18 years old
Half of the charm of Uncharted was how the characters interacted with each other. An arguement could be made that is an action rom-com in game form ala Romancing the Stone.
@@KaneK1234 is it only me who always feels that AJ are feeling threatened by alex . In every review he keep blocking him and doesn't give him time to reply. Always happens
I remember seeing a trailer and seeing a fucking pirate ship attached to a cargobob and instantly thought "nope, not seeing that, gonna ruin my entire perception of the franchise." I get it's a bombastic series but they don't have to get that ridiculous.
They literally carried a magical sarcophagus out via helicopter in the first game. How is carrying out a pirate ship via helicopter any more ridiculous? All games and this movie are just popcorn flick type fun
Alex is the main event of these kind of videos, I love his personality, really good communication skills. Can be too cynical sometimes, but that's how he is, sometimes you have to let go of the cynicism and enjoy dumb products. I used to be just as cynical and grumpy, but it's good to have some balance
I think it’s a better format like this when you guys do final verdict early that way you’re not spoiling too much of the movie. Because even in your non-spoiler sections sometimes you guys give away too much. Also you only put a number for you joe on the screen. You should include the numbers for the other two as well when you flash it on the screen. IMO
Joe’s laugh at 24:27 gets me everytime! Too contagious. The way y’all shit on this movie makes me want to see it just to laugh it at while thinking about this video the entire time. Also love seeing disappointed Alex in the thumbnail. Makes me click that much faster
For a live action movie of this genre I would recommend 1984's Romancing the Stone with Michael Douglas. It has jungles, treasure, good action, lots of bad guys, and it's halarious. The budding relationship between the male and female leads reminds me of one of the Uncharted games also. If you like it there is a sequel called Jewel of the Nile.
I fucking love the Uncharted franchise. I’ve played the four games, plus Lost Legacy, plus the two on the Vita, many many times. I have platinumed all 5 games, then bought the Nathan Drake collection and platinumed them all again, lol. I really really like this franchise, but when I heard that they were making a film out of it…and then when I heard who they had casted (especially Marky Mark as Sully. I mean c’mon🤦🏼♂️), I knew that it was going to be terrible, and it looks like I was right. Damn🤷🏼♂️
I never wanted this movie to happen. They first started talking about an Uncharted movie way back in 2009. It just never got off the ground. I hoped that meant they had given up on making one. Unfortunately, here we are.
@@castortroy1853 I remember that too, and I was like phew, we dodged a bullet there😅 …but as you said, unfortunately, here we are now with this insult to the Uncharted franchise🤷🏼♂️
@@norcodaev I mean not really I played all the games as a kid and as a young Sully I think he's fine, we also didn't get to really see a young Sully so there really is no perfect young Sully.
Character development will always be a problem with movie adaptations of video games. There's probably over 300 hours of play time in all the games. You can't capture that with movies.
@@alexlyster3459 yeah I posted it and thought that's a little excessive... but my buddy is a completionist and he could easily spend that on all the titles.
@@Shaneo0oo but you could watch this 2 hour film like 5 times back to back before you finish even one of the 10 ish hour games. His point still stands, the games give a significant amount more time for the characters to interact and change.
@@BenAstridge ......I was correcting his gameplay length nothing in my comment had anything to do character development in the movies or how much time they'd need to build chemistry.
Maybe its because I had no expectations but I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed this. The first half is mediocre and forgettable, but the last half hour I felt the characters, most notably Sully, started acting like their game versions again, it had a great ending setpiece that was pretty insane and yeah, all in all if the next film picks up from there I can see it being very good
Same here, I’ve played all the games and a huge fan of the franchise. So, I wasn’t really surprise that they would make a movie and put a young hot actor on it (i.e. Tom Holland). I really like the set pieces and mostly practical stunts they did. Its not the best adaptation but its a fun ride. For the fans that hate this, at least there’s still the games. Its not like making this movie will make the game disappear.
I know this is old but the movie was actually really good. These 3 have a very high standard to each movie they watch. You can tell when you've watched a ton of their reviews. Especially other Joe. They always fall into the self-fulfilling prophecy, it's kinda annoying. Wish they'd keep an open mind sometimes.
This is what happen when you let Jim Ryan took over Playstation. He is the most tone def person who doesnt listen to fans about anything. If Shawn Layden was was the ceo, he will never OK this movie until they cast the correct people. I rather have unknown actors playing the characters than known one and have them look like the video game character.
Jim Ryan will be PS downfall if not at least a detriment. He wanted to shut down the psp and vita and ps3 stores and everyone was done with his crap. This is the same guy that says that people don't care about old games but then goes and greenlights a remake of TLOU... I swear he's just the most GamerTM guy I've ever seen in a chair and I hate him.
@@Murph_gaming Uncharted was not in the works when Shawn was still in charge. It was hinted that there will be an incharted movie and tlou movie. Shawn decided to call it quits in 2018. It was right after when Andrew House another great executive called it quits in 2017. They didnt even cast for uncharted yet. It doesnt take 4 years to make a movie. The casting was implemented in 2019 and started shooting late 2019 then pandamic happen so stop for a bit then finish up in 2021. You can tell by watching the movie it was rushed and didnt make sense. Maybe they decided on the casting and Shawn didnt like where the direction is going so he quit but I think he quit cus he is just warned out. I think the direction of the company is some what part of why Andrew house and Layden quit. But I am sure he wouldnt OK with the shooting if it didnt do the game justice. Jim Ryan only sees dollar signs. He doesnt care if the movie make sense. Since Tom Holland is a hot thing now a days with Spider he think Tom Holland will be great at being Nathan Drake when in reality he looks like a kid even if he is in his 20's. I am telling you. Jim Ryan will be the downfall of Sony this generation. Xbox got Phil Spencer now who can relate to gamers. Jim Ryan cant relate at all. He doesnt have the charisma and relationships with fans. Just watch.
My biggest gripes is the pacing in the beginning, the villains and A WASTE OF ANTONIO BANDERAS, and yeah the casting. Tati Gabrielle as Braddock DID NOT work. Chemistry between characters kinda sucked and yeah the games didn’t have the greatest villains but I actually remember them more than what we had in here. As a fan of all 4 games and Lost Legacy, this ranged from “eh” to “decent”. This movie’s biggest mistake was rewriting the story and origin just to fit Sam in the narrative instead of forcing him in like the 4th game. I say it’s decent because I actually did enjoy some parts like Holland’s performance/parkour and the inclusion of some of the game’s mechanics like the puzzles. Nolan North’s cameo was great. Now as a moviegoer, I think it’s good/serviceable for your standard action movie. But many will see this as an Indiana Jones ripoff but that’s the world we live in when we compare masterpieces to mediocre works. I gave this movie a 6/10-7/10 because I criticized the casting, the pacing, screenplay and just that it’s an average action movie. Now I’m not saying this movie was bad, even as a fan I did enjoy myself and what little callbacks I could find. But this movie overall is decent for the fans but serviceable to those who aren’t familiar with the Uncharted Franchise
Nathan Fillion was my first thought didn't even know about the short film. Matt Bomer would be be a great choice too I think. Depends on how much you want to focus on the comedic side of things.
I just wanna see the guy's face who thought "yea let's get that 15 year old looking guy who plays spiderman to play a character that looks acts and talks nothing like him"
These guys are way too hard on the show. They complain about how ridiculous some of the stuff that happens in this movie and even say it went "off the rails". Like seriously, have you played the games!? They complain about not enough character interactions and development like its not a two hour movie as opposed to a 4 long ass games. This movie felt like an uncharted adventure with all the glorious shlock that comes with it.

The funniest (and saddest) part is that the best Uncharted movie was that fan-made short film featuring Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake. That short film captured more of what makes Uncharted fun than... the Uncharted movie.
Nathan's old now. But would've been nice
If they even went in that direction with how true to the games it is, it could have been so special. I love that short film with Nathan Fillion, it's bloody awesome.

Mark Wahlberg acting as Max Payne:
“Oh hey, I’m Max Payne”
Mark Wahlberg acting as Sullivan:
“Oh hey, I’m Víctor Sullivan”
Yea I knew Mark Wahlberg would screw up his role. But hopefully the next movie will cast Elena and a better villain.
They cast this movie like they wanted it to fail, hired a director with the most painfully mediocre IMDB page you've ever seen, and had it written by people who clearly glanced at the Uncharted Wikipedia page once and went "Oh so like Indiana Jones".
Sony just wanted to cash in on the spiderman craze...
@@genericguy_ You're right, and its a crime that Uncharted of all things had to suffer that. Tom Holland is fine as Spiderman but he's really not fit for all the things they've been pushing him into
They should've gotten the director who did The Mummy and Van Helsing: Stephen Sommers. His style and tone would've been perfect.
@@genericguy_ Every movie Tom Holland has been in is because of Spider-man.
They can make easy money by adapting a popular pre-existing IP and market it by throwing in a few recognizable actors.
Why the fuck would they care about making it well written?
Nathan Fillion should've been the pick for Nathan Drake. How can a Fan Film do better in a 15 min video than a full blown movie. Come on Sony, you need to look at fan feedback and actually look at the better picture.
Joe, you need to do a reaction to Uncharted Fan Film. It's sooo fucking good and literally brings the character to life. Stephen Lang as Sully is Sully in real life. He brings the energy of him. You can tell Fillion was sooo happy to do this for the fans

Yes!
Maybe that they want to make a movie series and Nathan Fillion doing parkour across Barcelona wouldn’t have looked believable cause he’s so old now

The last time I saw Mark Wahlberg actually act was in Boogie Nights.
@@UnholyNekochan i can totaly think he wasnt a fan of this stuff and contract and did it because they paid enough to make him do it and giving a shit inside of him. also i found out he NEVER does promo stuff and such for his movies...

Hollywood being Hollywood wanted a younger cast to start a franchise.
@@LaloLanderos16 That's the problem nowadays all these producers are looking to start the next mcu and have a 10 year cash cow but they don't realise that to do that you have to start off on the right foot and have a good first film to build on otherwise you killed your franchise before its begun
I remember my wife my fiancé then would just sit there and watch me play uncharted. I remember her telling me that it’s like watching a movie.
Your one lucky husband
Remember how Mark Wahlberg failed miserably at playing Max Payne? These are two of my favorite game franchises of all time and Mark Wahlberg effed up both movie adaptations. Demote him to Netflix movies full-time.
show the brother some mercy that netflix shit kills

@@conformistbastard9842 it's marks fault for only playing mark in the movies, dude is one dimension
Imagine Brendan Frasier from the Mummy days playing Natham Drake. That would be awesooome.
I feel like that would be a really bad cast, i like him but it would only make us think about the mummy, the nostalgia would overshadow his performance. Also he doesn’t look like Nathan drake, the perfect cast is Nathan Fillion
@@Wulfxn So the perfect cast is an old Drake? Is he gonna save Sully from the retirement home?
Brendan doesn't like Nathan at all. Fillion is the perfect cast for now
So go back in time and tell him to be in a movie based on a videogame that doesn't exist yet
@@shawziiz5031 he's to old now
Alex is fucking hilarious and his brutally honest attitude is really respectable. He just tells it as it is and that's just the way it is. No phony bullshit from the man.
Sully has iconically deep voice and mustache... casts high-voiced mark Wahlberg.
Nathan drake- manly rogue... casts forever boy
And the villians. 🤷
Forever boy. Lol. That's pretty good.
i like how this is a prequel which basically means nate hangs off a string of cargo from a plane TWICE in his lifetime.
Problem is the prospect of it being a prequel flies right out the window if you’ve played 3: Nate and Sully have known each other since nate was like 12, and he was a cocky little shit even back then. He wasn’t friggin Deku if he was raised by indiana jones.
@@364dragonrider exactly. it doesn’t go with the storyline so, like the new star wars trilogy, it shouldn’t be considered canon for that reason.
Golden Abyss served as a better prequel than this. I never finished it but it's actually believable that it's a prequel
It’s not a prequel it’s meant to be a separate universe type thing
@@adrienvillela2934 thats why these movies fail. Just do the games in movie form stop trying to put different spins on it!
The Nathan Fillion uncharted was so great that they even made you feel as if you were in the game at one point. Now that’s how you cater to a video game audience.
I love how Alex is straight up hating on it. And he is 1000% right with his opinion.

@@whodatninja439 yes Nolan North captured him well. Fillion too
this just makes the fan film with Nathan Fillion 100 times better. that 20 minute film is AMAZING!!!
I think Tom Holland is a fine actor for what he does, but he definitely looks too young to be playing Nathan Drake. Nathan Drake requires a man in his early 30s to early 40s.

He’s great in ‘the fighter’ and ‘departed’ those are the exceptions
But the character he's playing is different
@@taylorjack2130 I liked 4 brothers

Quite a few movies I've liked him in. Shooter, Deepwater Horizon, Patriots Day, and both Ted Movies. I could count the Happening but that one is defintely more on the side of a guilty pleasure.
Damn, Alex’s flashback joke makes both Joes just go “Jesus Alex..” 😂😂😂
Probably the most miscast film in the last decade. They clearly didn't respect the source material or fans.
Just because the casting is not what we wanted, doesn't mean the movie disrespects the source material and fans. This film is painfully mediocre, but It definitely doesn't disrespect anything.
@BirdsElopeWithTheSun Mark Wahlberg as Sully is very disrespectful. Lol
Honestly they should have just gone with Chris Pratt.
@@BirdsElopeWithTheSun09 Uh-huh.
They cast Tom Holland because of Spiderman success. They think to cast him, automatically audience would love the movie.

I’d prefer a movie out of cutscenes than live action, uncharted is the one franchise that doesn’t need a live action movie because the video games is basically a perfect story
There are plenty of people in the world that only want to watch live-action and refuses to watch anything else so thats why they make live-action movies based on cartoons, anime, video games and comics because those people will refuse to watch it if its not live-action.

😂 Can't believe someone thought this movie was a good idea. The fan film is much better.
All they had to do was expand on it. Would've been cheap and fast. But nope.
It's not a bad idea just poorly executed and bad casting. I like Mark Walberg but he was not a good pick for Sully. Same with Tom Holland. Not a good pick for Nathan.
It could be a good movie if someonw actually gave a flying fuck.
The fact that they didn't instead have Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake really surprised me. It would've been perfect for this movie
It’s a toss up for me. I loved the fan film he did but..he’s old for the role. I think He is over 50…I’d imagine Sony would want to make this into a franchise assuming this one goes well and if that’s the case they would def need a young gun.
they are making movies for 12-16 year old girls
Honestly they could easily cast Nathan Fillion to play an older Nathan Drake set after Uncharted 4. He wouldn’t be too old for the role then.
@@ppsarrakis right! They're aren't making movies for grownups anymore. IMHO Tom was the worst Spiderman ever. Not that HE was bad but the casting was awful. Spiderman was never a child. He was a young adult when he was bitten and he was confident and a smart ass. He was more like Deadpool just not AS Deadpool as Deadpool is Deadpool xD xD
@@wolfhors3_660 He was 15 when he was bitten...
Every previous game characters are all bastardized in this film.
-Nate has a boyish attitude that the game version would never have
-Sully is selfish and greedy, while the game Sully would literally go to the ends of the earth for Nate. You would think that after he got Sam killed (or so he thought), he would look after Nate like a son, like how the GAME VERSION LITERALLY DOES, but nope. I personally believe Sully got the worst of it. He doesn’t even get referred to as Victor "GODDAMN" Sullivan once.
-Chloe backstabs literally EVERYONE in this film. Holy shit was she abysmal, all because she has "trust issues" from when she was like fucking 10 years old.
-Navarro was far from a good villain in the game, but they strapped a fucking eyepatch on him? Really?
-Sam is really the only accurate character. Didn't dig the facial hair, though.
-Not once does Elena get mentioned. Not even a freaking REFERENCE.
I think Tom Holland would be great in a "Teen Wolf" remake, he's just too young for this role, same with Marky Mark. If you're gonna slap the Uncharted name on it you need to cast actors faithful to the source material. The Uncharted name is used to attract fans of the game, so give them the characters they know.
Holland and Mark should make 64 episodes of live action series and have the first 16 episodes be an origin story, then the next 8 be Golden abyss and the next be the first Uncharted.
Mark Whalburg I bought more as Nathan Drake than Tom Holland. Which not to say Holland was bad or anything but I just don’t buy him as Nathan Drake.
The fault is shared by the Actor's themselves...they didn't have to accept the role but it seems they wanted it bad
@@AlexanderMartinez-kr3nd then again it’s also their job and well sometimes actors do have to take bad jobs for the sake of paying their bills.
"Does not feel like Uncharted."
This is my favorite game franchise and it sucks that it's confirmed. 😕
I knew this movie was gonna be mediocre at best when I first saw the trailer, its just not uncharted at all
Honestly if your surprised by that revelation I dont think you can be helped
@@the_articulated_artist I agree, felt pretty Uncharted to me. I mean, Uncharted the games are ridiculous. This was also ridiculous. The worst part was the casting, I still agree with that, but swap out just a few things here and there with the video game franchise and I think this would be a decent game from Naughty Dog. If it wasn't like this, they would be complaining that it wasn't like the source material. It feels like the lesson here is "video games and movies are mediums where suspension of disbelief and expectations are too wildly different to ever hold up to one another" ie no video game will hardly ever make a 10/10 movie and movie franchises translated into games will hardly ever yield a 10/10 game.

@@ApexAerials like that Nathan Fillion fan made masterpiece? :)
@@yeeisme now that was phenomenal
I agree with Alex; you put that name Uncharted there and you create expectations especially from us who played all 4 games. My friends said it wasn't bad if you distance yourself from the game....and me and my girl can't. Prolly why it was sub par for us, pity.
I agree with them I disconnected and could have some fun but this is not Uncharted.
They should've called it something else, the cast would get people in seats regardless of the title, why try to bank on gamers when you know we'll hate it? How Hollywood still fucks these video game movies up is beyond me.
I disagree, having to disconnect from a beloved franchise just to enjoy their shitty movie adaptation is the equivalent of blindly giving up your money to the studios. It would’ve been better if nobody went to see it and it bombed cause then that would send a message to Hollywood. DO BETTER, we make too many excuses and give too many passes just to be disappointed as fans and casual movie goers.
Personally, that line of thinking only works if someone doesn't have experience in any previous title. Like if Sticker Star was someone's first Paper Mario game, they'd like it fine. But for someone who's played 64 through Super, they see the problems.
The problem with this movie is that we've grown to love the characters and the voices attached to them. The cast for the games is perfect. They get the characters. They fully embody them through their voice work. If you were to take Nolan North, Richard McGonagle, and Emily Rose out of the equation, you'd get this movie. Without that cast, Uncharted is just a fairly mediocre treasure hunt story. It's what the actors do with it that elevates the characters and the material. Tom Holland is no Nolan North, and Mark Wahlberg is definitely no Richard McGonagle.
As soon as I saw the trailer and casting for this I was like... really? Jesus. Won't be wasting my time watching it but fun to see your reactions. P.S. Sick Nile t-shirt! \m/

He enjoyed season 7? What the hell, even the suicide squad episode?
I just can’t take Tom Holland seriously... he’s perfect as Spider-Man for this exact reason but he flops at more mature roles
"if you're one of those people that stood up on your couch and gave standing ovation to a commercial then this movie is for you" 🤣
The core to the Uncharted games was the love for all the characters and their support for each other. This... this was trash. I hated them all and didn't care for Tom's Nathan. 0/5
9:57 That exact thing happened in my theater. They stopped clapping when the pre-credits scene started and said “Oh, it’s not over 😂🤣.”
This is what happens when Sony tries to make a movie from an interactive movie. The blueprint was there, how could they mess it up?
It was two hours long. A single Uncharted game is like 30 hours long if you’re not speed running.

The intro was actually done really well and stays true to the games, where you’ll get a crazy scene played through and then you get back to it later on in more detail, with it going back in time after the intro for the build up, very similar to uncharted 2 with the train, they did a lot better with this movie than you think, I’ve played all the games multiple times and I have to say I really enjoyed to movie - the casting for Nate and Sully wasn’t the best, Chloe was played decent; she even sounds similar to the games, overall I think it deserves above average even though it has its flaws
I do think Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg played their characters quite well, not perfect but really good, but as Joe said when you think of Nathan Drake you think of someone who looks matured and not looking 12 when he’s in his “30s” (in the games anyway)
Every movie version of games gets the same thing wrong every time.
When you play a game, especially a game with a strong narrative, YOU are personally experiencing the events, reacting to the tension, personally earning the rewards and solving the mystery etc etc.
For uncharted you become Drake, you move drake, you are jumping and running and shooting and so his sense of wonder and reward is your sense of wonder and reward.
You build your relationship with the game world viscerally and physically over hours and hours.
A movie is 1.5-3 hours long (at most) you cannot develop the same level of investment in the people and the story if you try to take from a 10 hour long game narrative and copy and paste into a 2 hour film.
Movies will also take popular game events (which uncharted has overtly) paste them into the movie as if that is what we love most.
The reason the clock tower and car chase in Thief's End works so well is A) you have half a game of build up to get here, there's tension and stakes
B) YOU ARE CONTROLLING IT AND EXPERIENCING IT
putting things like the plane in 5 minutes in miss, entirely, why it is enjoyable to have this in the game.
"Watching this is far less engaging than playing it"
This 1000%
A movie is not a game and must develop its narrative and characters in an utterly distinct and different way or all movie adaptations will suck
I couldn’t agree more man, I think you are spot on with your assessment on why these video game movies always fail. Honestly I think the best way to adapt these games into live action is not to make them movies but make them into a tv series like they are doing with the last of us on HBO max for example. That way you have several hours over the course of multiple episodes and potentially multiple seasons to develop the characters and the storylines. Because like you said they are taking 8-10 hour games like the uncharted games and trying to fit them into a 2 hour film and on top of that for some reason they randomly take stuff from all the different games in a series and try to throw it all together in 1 film. Like if you look at the most recent resident evil movie that’s supposed to be like a reboot and start a new series of films more closely following the storyline of the main games. It’s a 2 hour film yet they tried to cram 2 whole games into the storyline instead of just focusing on 1. The movie felt so rushed because half of it was RE1 with the mansion incident stuff then all the sudden the movie turns into RE2 and even stuff from RE3 like what happens to the city at the very end to stop the outbreak. These Hollywood directors just have no clue what to do with these video game adaptions
Surprisingly the only good videogame movie is the Sonic the Hedgehog movie
Which begs the question : Why didn't they develop an Uncharted TV Series. Granted, it would be an expensive production with all the action-sequenses , but you would better connect with the main chararacters, even if you've never played the videogames. Compressing most of the games in a two-hour movie was never going to work. Plus, the casting was terrible in my opinion. So, the end result is mediocre at best.
@@JohnSTF72 honestly no idea. Possibly because as a massive franchise it gets a fast track to the producers office. Hollywood Is big on guaranteed IP's and on paper a movie adaption of a widely celebrated and successful game franchise is a sure fire hit.
TV takes more risks (which means it would have been better) but Hollywood is still the one with the most money to throw at these things.
Who knows, perhaps they won the rights to the screenplay?
@@djbubblegum9975 and that turned out good only because of the backlash they got

I still haven't seen this movie btw, and probably won't because I'm that annoyed by the casting choice. Anyone whos even remotely played The Uncharted Series would know Tom Holland was not the pick!!! (Sorry Tom Holland, I think your a great actor btw)

I don't know... I had a fun time with it. Mark Whalberg was a big miss as sully, but I thought Holland was okay (especially when he is wearing the uncharted 3 flashback clothing in the aftercredits). I think there is potential in a sequel to vastly improve on things.
I'd give it a 6. Kinda felt the same as I did with the Tomb Raider reboot. Parts of it felt rushed and I think it's hard to jam an 8 hourish story into 2 hours.
Like Alex said "If you are one of those people that have ever like stood up on your couch and gave a standing ovation to a commercial this may be the exact movie for you."
No one has an open mind they are all closed off I already knew it would not be as good as the games if you all expected it too be better then the games then you set yourself up to hate it. I want the movie to be a success too see what a sequel can bring if it can be better I think too many are comparing it too the games that are leaps ahead of everything those are masterpieces and can never be topped.
Lol both were trash. Do you not have access to movies or something and have to pick from 1 trash or another?
wait wait wait… this Nathan is supposed to be fully adult 30 year old Nathan??? I thought it literally was supposed to be his first big adventure at 18 years old
Half of the charm of Uncharted was how the characters interacted with each other. An arguement could be made that is an action rom-com in game form ala Romancing the Stone.
Love Alex in these reviews. He keeps shit real.
Do you remember when people were upset because Alex is so real. 😂😂😂
@@KaneK1234 is it only me who always feels that AJ are feeling threatened by alex . In every review he keep blocking him and doesn't give him time to reply. Always happens
Moral of the story both detective Pikachu and Sonic still hold the crown as the best video game movies
Lies. The original mortal kombat movie is still great.
Detective Pikachu is fucking garbage
I remember seeing a trailer and seeing a fucking pirate ship attached to a cargobob and instantly thought "nope, not seeing that, gonna ruin my entire perception of the franchise." I get it's a bombastic series but they don't have to get that ridiculous.
They literally carried a magical sarcophagus out via helicopter in the first game. How is carrying out a pirate ship via helicopter any more ridiculous? All games and this movie are just popcorn flick type fun
17:45
Spoiler warning
This is why Alex is my favorite, he just perfectly summed up the entire movie in a single question.
Alex is the main event of these kind of videos, I love his personality, really good communication skills. Can be too cynical sometimes, but that's how he is, sometimes you have to let go of the cynicism and enjoy dumb products. I used to be just as cynical and grumpy, but it's good to have some balance
Alex' commercial comparison was so on point.Great reviewer!
I think it’s a better format like this when you guys do final verdict early that way you’re not spoiling too much of the movie. Because even in your non-spoiler sections sometimes you guys give away too much. Also you only put a number for you joe on the screen. You should include the numbers for the other two as well when you flash it on the screen. IMO
30 seconds into watching this video and I fully feel Alex's pain.
Mark Wahlberg yet again plays as the one and only character that he can play as: himself
Sorta like Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington and Jonah Hill
@@rogermazuca4582 and Jesse Eisenberg
Joe’s laugh at 24:27 gets me everytime! Too contagious. The way y’all shit on this movie makes me want to see it just to laugh it at while thinking about this video the entire time. Also love seeing disappointed Alex in the thumbnail. Makes me click that much faster
Pirate it first. Don't give these studios the satisfaction
I like Alex's "15 years earlier" joke
For a live action movie of this genre I would recommend 1984's Romancing the Stone with Michael Douglas. It has jungles, treasure, good action, lots of bad guys, and it's halarious. The budding relationship between the male and female leads reminds me of one of the Uncharted games also. If you like it there is a sequel called Jewel of the Nile.
Great films.
Classic and great films.
Jewel of the Nile sucks so bad. I love Romancing the Stone but that sequel is so terrible.
I fucking love the Uncharted franchise. I’ve played the four games, plus Lost Legacy, plus the two on the Vita, many many times. I have platinumed all 5 games, then bought the Nathan Drake collection and platinumed them all again, lol. I really really like this franchise, but when I heard that they were making a film out of it…and then when I heard who they had casted (especially Marky Mark as Sully. I mean c’mon🤦🏼♂️), I knew that it was going to be terrible, and it looks like I was right. Damn🤷🏼♂️
I never wanted this movie to happen. They first started talking about an Uncharted movie way back in 2009. It just never got off the ground. I hoped that meant they had given up on making one. Unfortunately, here we are.
@@castortroy1853 I remember that too, and I was like phew, we dodged a bullet there😅
…but as you said, unfortunately, here we are now with this insult to the Uncharted franchise🤷🏼♂️
Mark would have been a great Drake ngl
@@oneautumnleaf2622 Yeah, I could definitely see Mark in the role of Drake, but as Sully…it just feels wrong, very wrong.
@@norcodaev I mean not really I played all the games as a kid and as a young Sully I think he's fine, we also didn't get to really see a young Sully so there really is no perfect young Sully.
Saw this with my father, he asked what I thought and I told him it should have been called "uninspired".
Love all 3 of them but Alex is the best for actual review 😂
With movies. Definitely lol.
Yup, for movies, video games still joe's thing
Lol why he hates literally everything he’s the last person you’d talk to
@@marvel234 he has a actual critical eye when it comes to movies. He shouldn't glad hand shit, just so you'll like him.
@@ethanbradley2089 he hates on movies to look “cool” he doesn’t even know what he talking about half the time 😂
Antonio wasn’t even bleeding when his throat was slit 🤣🤣
Character development will always be a problem with movie adaptations of video games. There's probably over 300 hours of play time in all the games. You can't capture that with movies.
300 is probably a little exaggerated, but it's certainly alot more than a 2 hour movie.
@@alexlyster3459 yeah I posted it and thought that's a little excessive... but my buddy is a completionist and he could easily spend that on all the titles.
300? All those games put together don't even add up to 50 hours of gameplay from the main story.
@@Shaneo0oo but you could watch this 2 hour film like 5 times back to back before you finish even one of the 10 ish hour games. His point still stands, the games give a significant amount more time for the characters to interact and change.
@@BenAstridge ......I was correcting his gameplay length nothing in my comment had anything to do character development in the movies or how much time they'd need to build chemistry.
I can never take the Joes' movie ratings seriously.
Alex though, always 💯!
Don't forget the fact that joe said uncharted doesn't have the best villains then admits he's never finished the games before 🤦🏾♂️
@@the_articulated_artist More like he keeps it 💯
@@the_articulated_artist To each their own 🤝🏽
I imagine alex as that "guy" just questioning every single thing while watching the movie lol
@@luckymark571 That's why I always relate to him. I'm pretty much the same way.
Maybe its because I had no expectations but I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed this. The first half is mediocre and forgettable, but the last half hour I felt the characters, most notably Sully, started acting like their game versions again, it had a great ending setpiece that was pretty insane and yeah, all in all if the next film picks up from there I can see it being very good
Same here, I’ve played all the games and a huge fan of the franchise. So, I wasn’t really surprise that they would make a movie and put a young hot actor on it (i.e. Tom Holland). I really like the set pieces and mostly practical stunts they did. Its not the best adaptation but its a fun ride. For the fans that hate this, at least there’s still the games. Its not like making this movie will make the game disappear.
I know this is old but the movie was actually really good. These 3 have a very high standard to each movie they watch. You can tell when you've watched a ton of their reviews. Especially other Joe.
They always fall into the self-fulfilling prophecy, it's kinda annoying. Wish they'd keep an open mind sometimes.
This is what happen when you let Jim Ryan took over Playstation. He is the most tone def person who doesnt listen to fans about anything. If Shawn Layden was was the ceo, he will never OK this movie until they cast the correct people. I rather have unknown actors playing the characters than known one and have them look like the video game character.
Jim Ryan will be PS downfall if not at least a detriment.
He wanted to shut down the psp and vita and ps3 stores and everyone was done with his crap.
This is the same guy that says that people don't care about old games but then goes and greenlights a remake of TLOU...
I swear he's just the most GamerTM guy I've ever seen in a chair and I hate him.
I'm pretty sure an Uncharted movie was in the works before Ryan took over.
@@Murph_gaming
Uncharted was not in the works when Shawn was still in charge. It was hinted that there will be an incharted movie and tlou movie. Shawn decided to call it quits in 2018. It was right after when Andrew House another great executive called it quits in 2017. They didnt even cast for uncharted yet. It doesnt take 4 years to make a movie. The casting was implemented in 2019 and started shooting late 2019 then pandamic happen so stop for a bit then finish up in 2021. You can tell by watching the movie it was rushed and didnt make sense. Maybe they decided on the casting and Shawn didnt like where the direction is going so he quit but I think he quit cus he is just warned out. I think the direction of the company is some what part of why Andrew house and Layden quit. But I am sure he wouldnt OK with the shooting if it didnt do the game justice. Jim Ryan only sees dollar signs. He doesnt care if the movie make sense. Since Tom Holland is a hot thing now a days with Spider he think Tom Holland will be great at being Nathan Drake when in reality he looks like a kid even if he is in his 20's.
I am telling you. Jim Ryan will be the downfall of Sony this generation. Xbox got Phil Spencer now who can relate to gamers. Jim Ryan cant relate at all. He doesnt have the charisma and relationships with fans. Just watch.
My biggest gripes is the pacing in the beginning, the villains and A WASTE OF ANTONIO BANDERAS, and yeah the casting. Tati Gabrielle as Braddock DID NOT work. Chemistry between characters kinda sucked and yeah the games didn’t have the greatest villains but I actually remember them more than what we had in here.
As a fan of all 4 games and Lost Legacy, this ranged from “eh” to “decent”. This movie’s biggest mistake was rewriting the story and origin just to fit Sam in the narrative instead of forcing him in like the 4th game. I say it’s decent because I actually did enjoy some parts like Holland’s performance/parkour and the inclusion of some of the game’s mechanics like the puzzles. Nolan North’s cameo was great.
Now as a moviegoer, I think it’s good/serviceable for your standard action movie. But many will see this as an Indiana Jones ripoff but that’s the world we live in when we compare masterpieces to mediocre works.
I gave this movie a 6/10-7/10 because I criticized the casting, the pacing, screenplay and just that it’s an average action movie. Now I’m not saying this movie was bad, even as a fan I did enjoy myself and what little callbacks I could find. But this movie overall is decent for the fans but serviceable to those who aren’t familiar with the Uncharted Franchise
I don't have to watch this movie to know it's garbage. There hasn't been a good action movie in over a decade, imo.
The last action hero is better then this movie
I highly doubt that a majority of the fans actually liked the movie lol
That's your biggest gripe? How it sux?
Nathan Fillion was my first thought didn't even know about the short film. Matt Bomer would be be a great choice too I think. Depends on how much you want to focus on the comedic side of things.
I was expecting it to be bad, and then I saw Alex in the thumbnail.
That told me all I needed to know. Suspicions confirmed.
The thumbnail:
Joe: woo!
OJ: meh
Alex: has seen a war crime committed
"Let's cast Tom Holland cause Spider man!". Good job, Sony!
I just wanna see the guy's face who thought "yea let's get that 15 year old looking guy who plays spiderman to play a character that looks acts and talks nothing like him"
2:02 XD Alex's honest brutal logic
32:06 Final kill!
These guys are way too hard on the show. They complain about how ridiculous some of the stuff that happens in this movie and even say it went "off the rails". Like seriously, have you played the games!? They complain about not enough character interactions and development like its not a two hour movie as opposed to a 4 long ass games. This movie felt like an uncharted adventure with all the glorious shlock that comes with it.
Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake like the fan film is what was needed.
Heck the fan film was a million times better in every department.
