Is it really that bad? I was gonna go see it this week with a friend but if it's as bad as that maybe I'll go see something else... :3
it wasnt bad persay but it wasnt great either. like a 6.5 or a 7 at most.
Meh, I'll still see it.
Movie was complete Garbage.. -_- Oh man... I wasn't even having high expectations.. But wow, i don't even know how they botched it up so badly. I just wanna play Max payne the game to get that Nightmare outta my head.
I'm gonna go see this today. I'm gonna enter with low expectation like I do every movie based off a video game.
I don't get it. The movie rocked. It was one of the best films I've seen this year, and it's a video game movie.
the changed the story up a bit, but it still looked like a max payne plot.
If anything it was the first video game movie that I didn't feel totally cheated out of 10 bucks for.
It was bad. really bad. really really really bad. and not only because I liked the game. I mean it was super duper should win an award bad.
As long as they stayed true to the characters and the initial plot (the murder of his wife and child) then it can't really fail.
Now if Max was turned from a socio-psychopathic loose cannon into a pussy-whipped-no-talent-hack moron who couldn't shoot his way out of a paper bag, that's different.
Mona also didn't play too much of a role in the first game, so it doesn't matter much what they do with her in this movie. Mona as a character didn't become interesting until the second game anyway.
the movie was decent, but god damn can they stop taking every M rated game out there and turning it into a PG13 pussyfest. So far we have MK 1&2, Doom, Max Payne. Any other good M rated games butchered by the almighty dollar and pg13 rating?
Saw it this weekend.
Was actually decent as a stand alone movie... ignore the whining about angels and such from the fanboys. If you know NOTHING about the game but the title, you'll be entertained.
I just believe the movie could have used more gun battles rather then the last 30 mins. Should have had Morgan Freeman do all the narrating as well... Yes, that would have made it better.
Needed inner monolog. There was nothing tying any of the scenes together.
