Hamburger was MUCH funnier than it had any right to be.

This movie is...  It's okay.  It represents what's wrong with modern Silent Hill, mimickry instead of artistry and vision.  The Room is the last GREAT Silent Hill product.

He fails for having to Google giantbomb.com.  It should have already been bookmarked.

The ending made my night as it were. I couldn't stop laughing.
So many great touches to that sequence. I loved how it he had already googled rapelay before looking at hamburgers. Is there a connection?

Jeff didn't try and eat Ryan with a knife and fork at the end...lame...However i totally 100% knew they'd put in Sean Bean viewing GiantBomb, that was great.

I only ever saw the first half...i enjoyed it to a certain degree.

Is the game's music actually in the movie, or was that the work of Vinny? Impressed either way.

This was definitely my favorite video game movie I've seen. However, I've never played any SIlent Hill games. But should that really matter?

Wasn't a bad movie in all honesty, some lame parts, but nothing you wouldn't expect.

The ending was pure genius, expect your hamburger page views to sky rocket lol.

these are great Ryan, keep em coming. 

Maybe one day you guys can get a group to start a new movie site like anime vice and giant bomb and comic vine. it would rival IMDB and sites like joblo.com and comingsoon.net
i just think a movie site using this formula would be very successful.

Hell yeah, Hamburgers. Movies alright, but forgettable and nothing special. At least the movie uses the games soundtrack.

Ryan, you absolutely nailed what is wrong with this movie. The mediocre writing, the over-explanatory dialogue - it's sort of a letdown. I love the games and I love Gans' other movies (Crying Freeman, Le Pacte de Loups - great stuff!), but as much as I like Gans' visual style here, something is really amiss. Still, it's one of the better video game adaptations.

I would agree that it's probably the best video game to film adaptation, but really, that's not saying much. I agree with Ryan though, the first half is caulk full of promise, but it really dives off the cliff right after the lead finds those survivors. I also thought the ending was nicely eerie too, but the schlocky pseudo-religious, blood bath, revenge, exposition bits really drag it down. It sucked all the cerebral, mind fucking right out of the source material.

A hamburger is not a sandwich.

I actually don't mind the Silent Hill movie, though that may be because I've never played a Silent Hill game.  Ryan, you point out stuff that is legitimately wrong with it; I just couldn't take film reviewers taking potshots at it because they're against movies based on video games, end of story.
