I have never played the video game because I get so freaked out and jj would like to keep the systyem in tact.
However, I watched him played it and enjoyed watching the game so we wanted to check out the movie. We read the reviews Friday night to get the opening night feedback. The reviews were so rotten, we decided to see it, but set the expectations low. That was the smartest thing we did.
Since we had low expectations, it was enjoyable. I thought it was hilarious and we laughed most of the way through it. The script was poor, but it had such a B-movie feel to it, that it was acceptable. I will say that the visuals were awesome and surreal, even though sometimes campy.
If you go in just expecting to be entertained and have no expectations of a blockbuster movie it's pretty easy to sit through.
