>>3939486the movie was good (20x better when vocoded to gangsta's paradise), but its a shit adaptation of sa2, tails didnt get his mech, no faker, no ARK, shadow is just an ayy not a cold war science experiment to cure aids and to create the ultimate lifeform, FINAL HAZARD didnt exist and all the sa2 """fanservice""" was forced and cringe and reeked of corpo medalling, while the shad05 references were much better and seemed to be coming from a place of actual respect and love of the game, unsurprising considering fowler likes shad05 way more than sa2
for all the butchery it does of sa2, they nailed shadow's personality and raison d'être, as well as him flipping sides, the doubt after he kicks the shit out of tom and gerald saying 'its not about what maria would have wanted, its about what do they deserve' when shadow's resolve is shaken. keanu's voice works amazing for shadow, but holy shit does he not have any range and his voice is just as flat regardless of context
at least maria died in a suitably horrific manner and shadow got his gun for the first time in ~20 years, so 7/10
