Roxana Hadadi Chesapeake Family Magazine Ratchet and Clank tries for snarky self-awareness, but the animated film offers very little in terms of story or characters. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 2, 2016 Full Review Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle You're better off picking up a controller and directing your own story. Rated: 0.5/5 May 5, 2016 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai NOW Toronto The Ratchet & Clank video game series goes for easy brand extension on the big screen, repurposing old parts and plots in a space adventure that shows few signs of creative life. Rated: 2/5 May 2, 2016 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse With its so-so animation and excitable nature is less a movie than a PlayStation 2 game blown up for the big screen. Rated: 2/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Julian Lytle Punch Drunk Critics I have history with the characters and story, but also I think it falls into the trap of being not that amazing, just a really a good TV movie level story. Rated: 3/5 Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Tom Bond One Room With A View Most videogames aren't known for their story, and in its transition to film, Ratchet & Clank has failed to find that most crucial ingredient. Rated: 2/5 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

B G As a huge fan of the series, I've enjoyed the film. Nefarious stole the show as the villain, the Negotatior finally returns despite only for a few seconds, and they even refrenced the iconic RYNO (or RYNO 4EVER from Tools of Destruction) weapon. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Cintia D Mi infancia de los videojuegos y ratchet y clan su película esta muy bien para mi para mi las mejores películas basadas en videojuegos de mi opinión Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Julian R While not being very satisfying to older viewers and hardcore enthusiasts of the series such as myself, it provides a moderately entertaining experience for most viewers (especially kids.)
