Review of Uncharted

Uncharted (2022)
10/10
I was expecting to be let down, but I LOVED IT!!!
18 February 2022
I am a huge fan of the video game franchise to the point I have a huge Nathan Drake tattoo on my shoulder blade. So I was super excited when the movie was announced but also super nervous they were gonna mess it up. They announced the cast, while I love the actors I was still very worried. I wanted it to be the perfect movie, I wanted the video game lovers to love the movie and those who haven't played the game - go get the motivation to go. Admittedly on the day, I accepted maybe it wasn't going to be great, but at least it would be a good action flick.

Well boy did they prove me wrong. It was everything I didn't even know I wanted. They did a wonderful job of merging the game franchise where it made perfect sense for the movie - where the information wasn't overwhelming and made perfect sense for casual movie goers.

Tom Holland was amazing as Nathan Drake. I don't know why I doubted him. Every single time I think maybe he won't suit a role - he blows it out of the water and proves me wrong. This man was born to act, and he is tremendous.

Also with Mark Wahlberg he is not even half of what I pictured for Sully when they announced his casting, but he was wonderful. He was a great introduction to his character and they did wonderful character building. Plus the chemistry between Mark and Tom was fantastic.

I really adored this movie. The action was super fun, the dialogue was the perfect amount of corny (just like the games). I really hope more people see this movie and appreciate it for what it was. It's fantastic. The casting turned out perfect, and I can't wait for a sequel! So please everyone see and support this film!
