        Apparently they filmed everything thinking it would be R rated but changed it to PG13 during editing so a lot of combat footage was too violent for usage.

          I’d say we need the “Psycho Cut” release to see the original vision come to life, except I bet that’s also a terrible watch lol

            I’ve seen the whole thing. Better fight scenes would improve it but it would still remain a major stinker. Zero desire to watch again.

        It’s sad cause there are parts that look great. Certain scenes like where they all have masks in that I truly liked. The dumpster fire surrounding those extremely limited moments is almost cruel. For the record I caught it the first time it was thown up on YouTube for free a few weeks ago. So many ways to show how Lilith found out she was a siren and they chose to just ignore 90% of the established content to do it.

        On a final note they did the guns dirty. Like how could you not have someone grab The Bane, a Shredder, or even get the damn Infinity to be accurate. No Homing grenade? Where the fuck where all the shields? FUCK!

          That mass shooter one he did wasnt utterly terrible. It felt low budget and raw but I feel like that worked for the subject matter.

          But yes, he almost always makes shit.

    One of the worst films I’ve ever seen. It’s especially bad because of the amount of raw talent that they have in it; had it been as bad as it is but with actors appearing in their first performance ever, it would be understandable. But to somehow be this bad, with people that have been in contention for Academy Awards, is simply unconscionable.

    It’s so bad that it feels like someone tried The Producers scam IRL; this must be some scheme to launder cartel money.

      Don’t they want people to see it? I mean, it’s free and I still didn’t watch it (I’m a huge fan of the games too but no chance) but I’m sure some might if it’s free.
