Ratchet & Clank Review

Ratchet & Clank Review

The evil Chairman Drek is using a planet destroying weapon, named the Deplanetizer to blow up planets, taking the best pieces of the planets and building a new planet. But in doing so he would be endangering millions of people's lives, The Galactic Ranger have noticed this and need a new recruit to join the ranks, a mechanic, named Ratchet, attempts to join but their the leader of the Galactic Rangers, Captain Qwark, says no. Meanwhile, Chairman Drek and his lieutenant Victor Von Ion, travel to a war-bot factory to gain new forces. But a defect is producing in manufacturing, no evil in him at all, too small and too harmless, Victor attempts to destroy him, but the defect is able to escape on an escape pod and land in the valley near where Ratchet is working. Ratchet goes to save the defect from the wreckage, naming him Clank. Chairman Drek's forces invade with Ratchet and Clank helping to defeat the enemy forces, becoming the people's hero. This displeases Captain Qwark as he has been shown up, but the media forces him to allow Ratchet and Clank to join the Galactic Rangers. To find information, the Galactic Rangers search the now abandoned war-bot factory, where Captain Qwark is met by Chairman Drek, where Drek encourages Qwark to join the dark side.

The Galactic Rangers then find out that Chairman Drek and Dr. Nefarious join together to destroy another planet, but the Rangers are too slow, with Captain Qwark going to join Drek. This is where Dr. Nefarious stabs Drek in the back, turning him into a sheep and taking control of the Deplanetizer. Going on to destroy a whole solar system for fun, but Captain Qwark has a change of heart, seeing how Ratchet and Clank risked their lives to save him, Qwark fights back Dr. Nefarious. Ratchet and Clank disarm the Deplanetizer and send it crashing to the planet surface, where Drek the Sheep has crash-landed. Captain Qwark begins his universe-wide sorry, and Ratchet goes back to be a mechanic. Ratchet hasn't quit from the Galactic Rangers, also side Clank, he will be ready for when the Galaxy needs their help.

I thought this film was a little slow in places, especially how I loved the Ratchet and Clank video games when I was going up. Ratchet (James Arnold Taylor) previously playing Ratchet in the "Ratchet & Clank Series", really good all rounds performance. Clank (David Kaye) once again, previously playing Clank in the "Ratchet & Clank Series", my favourite out of the duo. Chairman Drek (Paul Giamatti) previously acting as Rhino in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", also as Chairman Drek in the "(2016) Ratchet & Clank", just a funny and good character. Captain Qwark (Jim Ward) previously in hundreds of sometime Video Games, Animated Films and Anime Shows, including the "(2016) Ratchet & Clank", I have always loved Captain Qwark because he is so funny and ridiculous, and I think Jim Ward captured the character really well, once again. The critics probably won't like it because it is a Video Game Movie, but whatever; I didn't mind it, it wasn't my favourite. But it was pretty good over all. 6.5/10.

Overall: Pretty good, still love the series.

Final thought: "Choosing between certain death and probable death."
