Editing Ultramarines: The Movie (section)

==Things that Suck==
*Ultrasmurfs
*Complete lack of [[Xenos|Eldar, Tyranids (stained glass murals don't count) or Necrons to name a few]].
*Space Marines look exactly like their tabletop counterparts. This means that the Bolters are comically oversized and lacking in details compared to the armor. They also move like you'd expect tabletop minis to move: very stiff and exaggerated.
*Not a single [[Beakie]].
*Complete lack of anyone without a Y-chromosome.
*The animation is constantly shifting quality of texture, movements, dynamics, lighting, detail and meshes. Some scenes show high quality designed animation while some were pretty sloppy, as if they were hurried. The absolute nadir is the jumping-across-the-broken-bridge scene; they move like they're playing hopscotch. Still, it does manage to look nice most of the time. As described by [[Araghast the Pillager]] "The production values and designs look like it was made in the 1990s."
* Not enough gigantic dark Gothic space cathedrals, and way too fucking many convenient scenery-obscuring dust clouds.
*  The thickest part of power armor, the chest plate, <s>is somehow consistently punctured clean through by a single bolter round</s> actually it was an autocannon round. The owner of the power armour dies from this single round, despite being a Space Marine and having another working heart.
*Carnak dies for no reason.
*Where the FUCK is [[Khârn|Khârn]]?
*Released only as a special edition. No regular release.
** While no longer true, it took so long for the DVD and Blu-Ray release to come out that everyone who wanted it probably already had it.
*It got delayed. Because of this, it caused lots of fans to go batshit crazy and [[rage]].
*Lore rape: Promethieum fuel is not gel, power armor sliced apart by a simple chainaxe in one hit (Although this is consistent with Abnett's other Space Marine works were Power Armor might as well be paper to Space Marine weapons), and the Crozius Arcanum shoots magic beams. Dan Abnett defended this weakly by saying "but yea, all Crozius Arcanums aren't the same, even if they've always been exactly described the same in every book and lore piece until this movie was released." Although you can think of it as the blessed holy aura of the Crozius and the Chaplain that are screwing with the Chaos Marines, it's still a weak explanation. (It seems likely that the slow motion beams fired from the Crozius were inspired by the Chaplain's special ability in [[Dawn of War]])
*Going with lore rape, they fucked up the drilled-in order of promotion through the Codex Astartes chapters. Tactical Marines are not fresh out of the Scouts - The scouts that are promoted first go to battle as Devastators then Assaults, to say nothing of portraying those scouts as young hotheads despite the fact that an ultramarine scout will have had decades of military training and experience. It's something that's likely done to have 40k newbies or even non-fans understand the pecking order better, but it's sucky nonetheless.
*For even MORE lore rape, you can consider the following: a daemon of Khorne engaging in disguise and plotting. A captain abandoning his entire company in favor of dicking around on some random system instead of just sending a veteran sergeant. A ship having a reclusiam without an attendant chaplain. An ultramarine, one of the most highly trained soldiers in the galaxy, smacking a daemon with a helmet instead of just punching it. 
* Speaking of Lore Rape:  There's a stain glass window of what's clearly the Battle for Macragge, as the plot takes place shorty after this, meaning Cato Sicarius should be Captain of the 2nd.
*Now, a tactical squad in action with an old apothecary.... IS THIS ULTRA-VERSION OF 'BROTHERS OF THE SNAKE'?!
*With how the Chaos Space Marines act, it would have made more sense to use the [[World Eaters]] than the Black Legion.
*Space Marines are too wimp for their standards, yet still decimate the Black Legion. 
*The space marines banner crackles with electricity when daemons are near.......*cough*frodo's sword anyone. 
*The entire vessel is utterly deserted save for [[Derp|15 marines]]. Some argue the marine count is consistent with Battlefleet Gothic fluff states; the obvious rebuttal is that ''there are no serfs anywhere and only 7 servitors''. 
*There is one line that is repeated over, and over, and over again to the point of [[Nurgle|nausea]]. Take a shot every time they say "We march for Macragge! AND WE SHALL KNOW NO FEAR!", and you will be more dead than a guardsman two days from retirement. You will get so tired that one of the most iconic, bad-ass lines of the [[Emprah]]'s marine speech will seem utterly boring and meaningless.
