20 Worst Movies Of 2016 (So Far)

19. Ratchet & Clank

Worst Fims Of 2016
Insomniac

Releasing a Ratchet & Clank movie in 2016 is a little bit like releasing an Earthworm JIm movie in 2016: there's definitely some residual fandom remaining, but the brand is pretty much over and people will actively question why it didn't come out a decade or more ago.

There's no doubting that the game series was great, or that it might well have translated well to the big screen if handled correctly when the first games came out, but not this year and not in this way.

The film is like a low-budget made for TV feature, which someone managed to attract Paul Giamatti and John Goodman (guys have got to eat) but forgot to spend any of the remaining money on a script. It's dull, repetitive, completely out of date and just not very welcome at all.
