Source material was not held in high regard because of the original adaptation, failed to find an audience

Zero marketing.

It has the plot of a videogame.

Climb to the top, defeat the final boss.

Actually now that you mention it, that should equal box office success by todays standards.

Not every film needs to be complicated.
You're oversimplifying the plot anyway. There is more to it then that.

it relied too much on their special-effect-of-the-week - that slow motion falling through the windows thing.

i'm starting to think these films only get made when someone comes up with a new special effect and they need a vehicle to try it.

Looked like shit 'filmed' in front of a greenscreen for youtube. Maybe people are waking up to how awful cgi and absurd color grading looks.

I think you could simplify almost any movie like this.

Released a few years too early, and normies don't care about any movie that was released more than three months ago.
