Good points: some of the fight/dance moves, various bits of beefcake (both genders), some of the SFX.
Bad points: just about everything else.
This movie is cliché after cliché. The "world in turmoil and run by evil corporations" schlock, the "mommy taught me everything I know Oh no she's dead better avenge her", the "I am your father, Luke"; everything.
I had no idea that to enjoy this movie you had to be a fan of the video game. It just looked kind of interesting from the outside but what a waste of cash it turned out to be. Even as a video game movie it appeared pointless. Where's the back-story? Why are the characters what they are? How the hell did this stupid movie get funding? etc.
It will entertain pubescent bloodthirsty fans of homo-erotic violence (read: teenage boys) but even then it's just a time killer. No substance, no epiphanies, just blood, cliché, blood, cliché and blood.
I want my money back.
