Some level to Candy Tooth’s truck and his costume to be genuine to the video games.
Others are lower than thrilled with the tone of the teaser trailer. Utilizing Len’s “Steal My Sunshine” feels too light-hearted, some say, for a collection about heavy-metal vehicular fight with missiles and over-the-top explosions.
