As a fan of the Playstation 2 games, I must say this movie looks pretty s****y so far.

The character designs look very ugly and offputting, yet ill-defined. Sly's design goes nowhere fast, especially clothing-wise. While the wifebeater-clad Murray just looks ghastly - more like a pizza-muching villian from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles than a faithful burly companion.

Also judging by the trailer, it looks like it'll be very childishly written (Murray and his loud stomach will doubtlessly be source to much toilet humor given that the narrative of the trailer was dedicated solely to his dietary problems). The games were very mature for their colourful art style in comparison, and featured no humour of the sort, so its giving a false representation of the franchise in that way. People unfamiliar with Sly who first play the games after watching the movie will surely scratch their heads.

I imagine in the best case scenario, this movie will be just OK, and the worst, it'll be just as s****y as it looks now and will hurt the franchise rather than help it.
