I played both of the games quite a bit, I grew up on comic books, and have seen all the live action super hero movies, on top of most of the animated ones; this is a sub-par offering.

The basic premise is that something terrible happens and as a result superman goes over the edge. This is the basic premise of the games, but it's executed pretty poorly in the film, both in terms of it happening too quickly, and the execution feeling somewhat haphazard. However, before you even get into issues with how the film was slapped together, and what was omitted, making the plot line feel "thin" at best... let's talk about the real problems. The film is animated poorly, and no matter how nice the artwork looks at a glance... it's very basic. Further, the voice acting is bottom wrung stuff, I've heard better work in the old anime dubbings from the late 80s. That alone makes it hard to get into and it makes much of the "action" very ineffective at drawing you in. Because it's a DC film, and as an entity DC has always been more open to murder and depictions of extreme violence in their work than Marvel, you'll see some deaths, you'll see some things that should make you feel "some type of way," and you'll have no reaction to either... because who cares if it looks that bad?

Netflix has this problem on occasion well, with their in-animation teams... movies are not of consistent quality in terms of animation and artwork, and that matters. It makes a difference in the mood of the film, which changes how you feel as a participant to the story, it changes your animal attachment to the things that happen on screen between characters, and it changes your cerebral attachment to the narratives. There are films out there, like "The Man from Earth," where you almost remember sequences that are not in the film because they do such a good job at presenting the atmosphere to you, and the actors all deliver their lines in ways that make you /feel/ their thoughts, emotions, and experiences... and then there are films like this, that show you everything, but you just... well... at the risk of being redundant... you just don't care.

Don't bother paying to see it, it's no "Under Red Hood" or "The Killing Joke," it's not even "Batman: Ninja." It's just a low budget film trying to capitalize on the success of the games.

This movie is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Cage doesn't say a word the entire film, the victims do the dumbest things they possibly could in the lisle of a situation they know is untenable and will likely result in their deaths... The "storyline" is some kind of weird nonsense about the town sacrificing people to possessed animatronics which now house the souls of serial killers?

I don't know... The action sequences are poorly shot, even more poorly choreographed, Ava ultimately stuck fun of of the movie. I mean, it could have been very entertaining with some effort, but none was given, and so it is not. We watched PG: Psycho Goreman right after this, and we loved that... I mean PG is ridiculous, but it's hilarious and clearly a labor of love for 80s and 90s shows imagined through a lens of bizarre humor.

I only bring that up,bbecause that is what it feels they wanted WW to be, but falls short everywhere; its just not a good movie, at all.

This movie is complete garbage. The "action" is terrible, the acting is worse, and the plot is one of the stupidest twists on "the siege action-thriller" genre I've ever seen. I couldn't finish watching it.
