In my opinion, it very much is that bad. Not just as an adaptation of the source material, but on its own merits (or lack of such) as an action movie.

But, I'm aware that some people here still enjoyed this movie (for whatever reason beyond my understanding) and will go out and buy it anyway.
I'm not here to argue with you or them. You do what you want.

I'm just warning other fans like me who might have been expecting a movie with close to the same competent level of thought and execution as the game in terms of character motivation, plot, narrative and overall style.
These are the things that mattered most and could have easily made the transition to the big screen, but they did not. Instead, they chose another route and did so poorly.
