History YMMV / BallisticEcksVsSever

* NoProblemWithLicensedGames: In a rare case of the video game adaptation receiving vastly better reviews than the movie it was based on, ''Ecks vs. Sever'' for UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance was praised by many for being a very good first-person shooter for the handheld, with a unique dual perspective feature (players could play the game as Ecks or Sever, the story changing from their perspective). Oddly enough, the game was developed and released before the film even began production. To quote Rotten Tomatoes:

* SoBadItsHorrible: For others.

* * SpecialEffectsFailure: The CGI rockets in this 2002 film would have been laughably bad in 1982. The air cannon that fires the wheel off of the CarCushion is clearly visible as well.

* SoBadItsGood: For some people.

* ButtMonkey: Ecks.

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: The title promises this. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot The film doesn't deliver]].

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: In a rare inversion, the game (released for the GameBoyAdvance) ''outclasses'' the movie. Granted, [[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ballistic_ecks_vs_sever/ the movie has]] ''zero'' positive reviews out of ''one hundred and eight'' on Website/RottenTomatoes, but still...

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: A rare aversion where the game(released for the GameBoyAdvance of all places) actually ''outclassed'' the movie. Granted, given that the movie has ''zero'' positive reviews out of ''a hundred and eighty'' on RottenTomatoes, that is not saying much.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: What was promised in the title.

* FridgeLogic: Too Many Moments To List.

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: The film had a climactic fight between [[StarWars Ray]] [[Film/XMen Park]] and [[CharliesAngels Lucy]] [[KillBill Liu]], a world-class stuntman and an actress who can fight more convincingly than most of her peers. if it were better-choreographed, it would have been ''epic.''

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: In case the movie didn't suck enough, the film had a climactic fight between [[StarWars Ray]] [[Film/XMen Park]] and [[CharliesAngels Lucy]] [[KillBill Liu]], a world-class stuntman and an actress who can fight more convincingly than most of her peers. And in line with the rest of the film, the fight is an incoherent mess of suck.
** The movie was one big missed moment of awesome. There wasn't even any [[BelligerentSexualTension adrenaline-driven]] [[FoeYay sexual tension or release]] between the lead characters (which is very, very odd, since Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu are attractive and have had [[FanService little trouble showing off their bodies]] in other films. What, ''this'' was worth keeping your clothes on for?)
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: What it promises; what it doesn't actually feature.

* {{Narm}}: Sever's wobbling glasses when she is firing a machinegun at one point.
** Also, [[http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2470156288/tt0308208 this picture]]. It looks like they're doing some sort of tango!
