To those who never played the game, the movie might seem exciting. I have played the game through several times, and I can tell you, the movie sucks. It is a reflection of how poor TV series are in general when a loser like this is a huge hit.
Take a great classic video game like "The Last of Us", strip out all the action and adventure, waste two entire episodes with extraneous side stories, and you have "the movie".
The last thing I need to see in an action/adventure movie is a gay love story. The second thing I don't need to see is two teens romping around in a mall for almost an hour.
Mazin and Druckman should have stuck to the script and not invented a new drama that is about 20 percent reflective of the video game. The 80 percent of the game that was re-written for TV is lame and boring. All in all, "The Last of Us" movie is almost a complete failure. If you think that this was hot stuff, you need to take up video gaming.
