I mean, there's certainly stuff I like about DC (lore, worldbuilding, some of the art design), but the writing and directing really does not hold up. I find it kind of embodies the worst of the early 2000s stylistic tropes that bog down the entire Compilation and are thankfully being toned down and/or omitted from Remake in favor of more grounded, or shall we say tasteful, cinematography and dialogue.
If it were more tongue-in-cheek. I'd probably be more into it. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is stupid in all the best ways, but the Compilation takes itself too seriously. I loved it all back in 2005~, but going back and rewatching cutscenes nowadays, it gets awfully cringy at times. Even Crisis Core suffers from some of that pretentious gaudiness.
Personally, I'm ecstatic that Remake feels like a more artistically mature take on the series, and I'm really excited to see how they tie-in and reimagine the rest of the Compilation. And honestly, knowing how much time, money, and effort they're putting into realizing the world in HD, I sincerely hope they plan to do more with all these assets than just a remake of the OG game.
