Last yr it was introduced {that a} movie adaptation based mostly on Sony’s long-running and ever widespread Gran Turismo racing sequence was in growth. Said to be impressed by a real story, evaluations for the movie have now gone dwell, revealing that PlayStation Productions’ newest venture has sadly not resonated with critics.
With a 57% on mixture web site Rotten Tomatoes (throughout 35 evaluations), the Gran Turismo movie is formally rated ‘Rotten’ with John Nugent of Empire Magazine saying “Despite some heat performances, it’s very arduous to disregard the sensation that that is largely simply two hours of product placement.”
This sentiment is seemingly shared by plenty of critics, with the best reward being given to the performances – that are seemingly let down by the remainder of the movie’s formulaic nature.
Metacritic evaluations appear to reflect this sentiment, thus far managing a forty five/100 mixture rating. That stated, there may be some positivity to be discovered, with Owen Gleiberman of Variety saying “There’s an innocence to this one, and a shock authenticity. It’s like a ‘Fast and Furious’ film made with out cynicism, and it will get to you.”
From the very first trailer it was clear that Gran Turismo was not going to be on the identical stage as HBO’s The Last of Us, however extra in step with the likes of 2022’s Uncharted starring Tom Holland. Of course, these are simply the critics evaluations, and so will probably be fascinating to see what common audiences suppose when the movie hits cinemas at the moment within the UK (and the twenty fifth of August within the US).
