I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'll probably stay away from this thread after this, but as a fan of the game, thank you for confirming that while it isn't 100% the same story, it at least keeps the main story.

I have to ask... Are the demons real or is it some nightmare thing?

So... how hot is Mila Kunis in the movie?

The "angels" looked awesome and unique in the trailer, and really are what caught my eye to the movie.

A couple of questions:

1.  How much bullet time is in the movie?

2.  How was Ludacris in his role?  Did he fit the part like we thought he wouldn't?

3.  For being PG-13, could you tell that some stuff was cut (kind of the same way with Live Free or Die Hard)?

4.  Am I going to hear a million Marilyn Manson songs?  If so...I'm going to avoid the hell out of this flick.

ughhh the movie was crap compared to the game, they took so much out and changed all these small and big details of the game. The lack of graphic novel style, narration, and max's witty lines was a dissapointment. I am upset i paid to see it.

I thought they would stay close to the source material after reading up on it and seeing the cast and the names but man they ruined the stories' feeling and length by elimanating huge plotlines and characters of the game. No mob wars, no vlad, no vinny, no woden, and a climax that was underwhelming compared to the game.

Bullet time was used once in the film. Ludacris as Bravura was good. About only 3 cool gun battles in the whole movie.

If you have no idea on the max payne story line @ all then you will enjoy it. But if u loved and are familiar with the game and story then its going to be medicore.

Well, I guess I'm not going to watch the movie then..

It's a shame. I just started playing Max Payne 2 again two days ago... Such fucking good games.

They go right up there was Super Mario World, Zelda OOT, and Grim Fandango.

I saw the film today, it was a lot better than expected. They completely nailed the environments. I think that if they had someone else play BB and just cut out some excess dialogue, then it'd be a lot better. Still a solid movie IF YOU'VE PLAYED THE GAME. If you haven't you'll just see it as a boring D-list cop movie. I loved how they put story on higher than action. That's the first time I've ever seen that in a video game movie. I'd give it an 8/10. It has flaws (named Beau Bridges and one of the plot liberties it takes that just goes too far), but is by far the best video-game to movie adaptations I've ever seen, which isn't really saying much, but still....

the movie worth a ticket

You have not watched silent hill Movie have you ?  

I am a HUGE fan of the Max Payne series and was always looking forward to this film with an optimistic mindset...I found the film to be a disaster on so many levels. I considered walking out, but decided to finish it since I paid for the movie. I honestly enjoyed the Hitman movie over this...

Best part of the movie: A small role at the end by James McCaffrey (voice of Max Payne) as the FBI agent who's name escapes me at the moment.

too damn Hot

Good movie.. just a bit more action!

I loved the Silent Hill movie.  I also loved the Doom movie.  Why?  Because I don't want my game-to-film translation to be the exact same thing that I've already played.  That would be a rip-off, as I've already played the game...so why do I need to see it in the form of a film?  =  /

failed on almost all fronts except for the atmosphere but pales in comparison to the game.

I watched the cutscenes today and man some much stuff was changed or omitted. The scenes with the valkry were pretty awesome. But other then that so much was changed for the worse that its so hard to recommend this movie to anyone who loved the game.

By itself it was ok, but the game was such a well fit for a movie that it could of been taken straight from game to movie but they left out all of Part 2 in the game and just had a First and 3rd act and the ending was underwhelming compared to the game.

I mean I know how it would end there but it was lame compared to the awesome showdown in the game. Also they didnt come close to capturing Jack Lupino's madness. If they wouldnt of been little bitches and got an R rating then they could of done some cool shit, but instead they didnt and it suffered.

I give it a 5/10 its passable but barely.

Worst thing? The writing.
Some guys saves Max Payne's life only to turn around and try to kill him 20 seconds later.
WHY FUCKING BOTHER?!

Uhm, yes. Regardless of what you think of the Silent Hill movie, there's no way to criticise what they did with the environments and the creatures. Because apart from the crowd of bugs, none of them were CGI. 

Damn, seeing this again makes me sad. They had everything they needed in order to make a brilliant Silent Hill movie, if only they've had a proper script! : (

I watched the uncut version last night.I thought it was really good and it kept the same kind of mood set in the game,but I think it could of used alot more action scenes earlier in the movie.

I just watched it the other day for the first time. It's the most I've ever laughed at how terrible an action movie is in a long time. Corny dialogue, terrible acting, and kinda bad action scenes. The scene where he fires the shotgun over his head in slow motion made me have to pause the movie I was laughing so hard.

I thought it sucked. The acting was trash. Dumb story
