It's got that low budget feel, but that's whats keeping it grounded for a video game movie. They're not going over the top with CG hadokens or fight scenes on a boat. I love the gritty "rage in the cage" feel. The fact that they got the costumes right and they stayed faithful to original, I don't see how this can possibly go wrong. It seems like they took this adaptation more serious than other video game movies. Definitely watchable.
Oh man, I live how people are bashing this movie already, and they just found out about it. Well, I'm starting to think that the trailer isn't doing as much justice as it could. Maybe if the first trailer that was released was some epic Japanese trailer with one of those Japanese guys voicing it over and making it sound like some serious business, people would start to look at it with a more respective eye.
