My uncharted review

My uncharted review 

Intro: OK despite the fact that I wasn't crazy about the casting of this movie and the red flags I notice in the trailers. I was willing to give this movie a chance because I was expecting this movie to be OK. Plus, there is an audience for a movie like this. Let's see how this movie turned out. (After I saw the movie.) I wish we can sue studios for IP abuse. If only that was a real thing. 

uncharted: This movie is centered on a young man name Nathan Drake who works as a bartender but wants to go on adventures. One day he meets a man name Sully who knows his long-lost brother Name Sam. Sully tells him that he and Sam were looking for the world's greatest treasure and Sully tries to convince Nathan to join them. Finding the treasure becomes difficult because someone else is looking for it so, Sully and Nathan have to beat them to it.  

Sony should be ashamed of themselves for how this movie turned out. You have been working on this movie for fourteen years and this is the best you can come up with really? This wouldn't anger me so much if Sony wasn't involved with this movie, I mean this is their franchise how can you screw up making this movie!?! This movie is suppose to take place before the first game but it has elements for the third and fourth game. May I ask why? Doing that makes things awkward considering what was teased in this movie. The movie has humor, but it falls flat. If you didn't like the product placement in the Power Rangers movie, you're not going to like it in this movie. The movie has some pacing issues. Another thing that hurt this movie is the characters, most of them have little to no personality and they complain about not trusting each other. 

Nathan Drake is a wisecracker and knows a lot about history. There is a scene in the movie where Nathan suppose to have a strong emotional reaction but that didn't happen. 

Victor Sully is a seasoned treasure hunter who's sarcastic in his own right. What bugs me about him is that he's not like his video game counterpart. The only thing the movie got right about this character is that he isn't trustworthy. 

I don't have much to say about Chole Frazer because she doesn't have much of a personality in this movie. Plus, she failed to make a good first impression with her dumb line of Sully doesn't have any friends! I should know because I'm one of them. 

Santiago Moncada (the main villain) is a ruthless treasure hunter. This movie wasted him, I say that because we were told that the treasure, they are looking for is connected to his family. If that's true, then it's hard to see him as the bad guy. 

There isn't a lot to like about this movie beyond the treasure-finding aspects of the film. Plus, showing us how greedy people can be. All in all, this isn't a good adaptation of the video game series but it's a solid adventure film. If you want to see a good uncharted movie watch the fan film by Nathan Fillion.
