The result is particularly surprising given that the movie received a mix of critical responses. Reviewers such as Collider's Aidan Kelley pointed out that while the film successfully captures the over‑the‑top fight choreography and iconic moves that fans cherish from the original games, it falters in certain casting decisions and the overall narrative arc.
