Twitter’s Best Reactions To Tom Holland’s Uncharted
Blockbuster action movies tend to get large responses upon release and doubly so for those starring A-list actors. Uncharted is Tom Holland’s starring vehicle which has tested his box office presence outside of his role as Spider-Man with a premise that promises entertainment from start to finish.
Twitter has been abuzz ever since the film has met its release date, with reactions around Tom Holland’s role, its critical reception, and some tweets purely for comedic effect. A good way to hype up the movie is by indulging in these tweets since they depict the level of enthusiasm that viewers have for Uncharted.
Fans wanted Nathan Filion to play the main protagonist ever since the series came out, with the actor even starring in an unofficial adaptation. This Twitter user made a cheeky reference to Filion’s appearance by acting as if they were talking about Tom Holland’s movie.
While the unofficial short film is definitely worth watching, the tweet has been made in a way to confuse viewers who were expecting news about Holland’s version. By the number of people who’ve responded to the tweet, it appears as if the fan’s attempt at trolling the public has worked.
There were plenty of memorable actions sequences, characters, and quotes to be found in Uncharted that viewers have connected with. However, the movie’s reception has been on the negative side where critical evaluation is concerned and it’s not sitting right with general audiences.
This tweet is challenging the Rotten Tomatoes score for Uncharted by arguing that the actual experience isn’t what’s being implied. To be fair, the movie isn’t designed to be a critical darling as much as it is meant to appeal to blockbuster action fans who want good, fun entertainment.
Some aspects of the movie might not be recognizable for those who haven’t played the games. While the tweet has certainly exaggerated it to make it appear as if knowing the games is a must, there’s no doubt that being aware of the larger history enhances the viewing experience.
The movie contains plenty bits of fan service that pays tribute to the source material, which will be instantly recognized by gaming fans. Those who check out the film simply for a fun watch shouldn’t be disappointed either, but they might be in the dark over some inside jokes and references.
Naughty Dog’s first big hit in the gaming landscape happens to be the Jak & Daxter series, which might be in for a revival if Uncharted proves to be a big hit. While all that’s up for speculation, this tweet has taken the comedic route by imagining Tom Holland once again as the lead.
Holland will probably have to undergo some CGI work if he wants to look like Jak, although that will definitely be much more believable than this tweet’s editing skills contains. The superstar status of Holland can’t be understated, so this might just become a reality in due course.
Movie posters these days are largely interchangeable, with just about every film borrowing elements from one to the other. Uncharted appears to have basically adapted the same template of Sonic the Hedgehog and the similarities are striking once they’re aligned together.
The ring behind the characters is what really adds to the effect, with the shiny glare altered from blue to golden for Uncharted. The tweet is hard to refute since there’s very little to separate both films and there’s the fact that both are based on video games series.
A tourist on a beach has a memorable quote in Uncharted where he’s unaffected by Nate and Chloe showing up out of nowhere. The character is played Nathan Drake’s voice actor Nolan North, whose presence is supposed to be an acknowledgment of his part in making the protagonist so iconic.
Those who know of North’s background as Drake will most definitely have been happy to see him show up and this tweet will be relatable for them. Some were aware of North’s inclusion due to a behind-the-scenes photo of him with Tom Holland, so those fans were waiting around for the actor to show up.
Part of the fanbase didn’t care about things like the skill level or the intelligence of the Uncharted characters as much as they wanted the movie to be faithful to the games. Mark Wahlberg didn’t sport Sully’s trademark mustache during the main story but he showed up with it in the end.
The scene was released in promotional materials as a way to confirm to viewers that Sully would be seen in his popular appearance, and this tweet reconfirms that. According to the fan, Sully sporting the mustache makes the movie instantly worth a watch no matter what the plot was.
Tom Holland’s had quite a lot of fun in his promotional tour for Uncharted, which has included taking a Vespa ride around Rome. The picture has been well received by fans who have appreciated the actor’s dedication to getting buzz around the film and this tweet pays tribute to that.
The fan claims they will look the same as Holland does on his Vespa when they go to check out the movie. With the endorsement that Holland’s provided, it won’t be a surprise if Vespa sales should shoot up in the coming weeks as a result of Uncharted’s influence.
The movie did a good job in establishing the fighting spirit of Uncharted’s characters, but Tom Holland enthusiasts won’t really care about the finer details. As this tweet points out, fans of the actor really just want to check out their favorite star in a new role.
The fan claims the plot for them is Holland himself, with scenes from the movie taken regardless of context. Should it turn out to be a hit, Holland will have asserted himself as a bona fide draw that should guarantee an Uncharted sequel somewhere down the line.
Gaming fans can get very possessive of their franchises and look to remind moviegoers where the series first originated from. This tweet looks to subvert that practice by claiming that Uncharted is for everyone and that the fan is prepared to fight for casual viewers.
That’s actually the right mentality to have since there’s no need to divide the fanbase when everyone can enjoy the movie. It contains action-adventure elements that can be appreciated independently of the games, which plays to Uncharted’s benefit as anyone can watch it.
