Can It Be?? MAX PAYNE Still Looks Cool, Even After This New Trailer!?!?
Merrick here...
When I saw the first trailer for this film a while back (HERE), I was surprised and impressed by...well...pretty much everything in it. Didn't expect much from a video game adaptation, and didn't expect much from hit/miss director John Moore.
YAHOO MOVIES has just posted (and, thoughtfully, released a supporting embed) a new trailer for MAX PAYNE. Bewilderingly, it still looks pretty damn cool as far as I'm concerned. This said, I don't know too much about the video game...so I'm judging this almost exclusively on its own merits.
What do you think?
Guns are a perfect accessory for Kunis.

Lookin forward to this, could be decent

but also very fake feeling (sorry for double post)

Crap video game. Crap movie. WOW! C.R.A.P.
Communists Really Are Persistent
Georgia on my mind.... -
The last 30 seconds were so incomprehensible it just came off as neo-"goth," for the I-got-angst-in-my-pants-and-I-like_it" crowd. Also looks like a Constantine retread. But I've never played the game.

Not that that is always a good thing.

... if Mila Kunis asked me to. If it would get me in her good graces, I would kick terminal cancer patients in the crotch. Just to be with her. Hey... that would make a neat song... Oh, and cool trailer. Never played the game, but I'll definitely hit the theater for this (unless the reviews are abysmal).
-
Cautiously optimistic I guess. Looks a lot like Constantine though ( hopefully will be better than that).
I don't remember much from the computer game except for the ultra cheesy dialogue and these weird,trippy dream sequences you played through. -
This looks like it hits all the points that made Max Payne what it was, without turning it into a cartoon. Hope it doesn't suck.
-
And call it Constantine 2
That would be HOT -
If only cool trailers = good movies

Hmm..a little misleading if you don't know
by just another useless chump with a microp
If I hadn't played the games? I'd think this was a trailer for some supernatural thriller in the vein of say, Constantine.
It looks amazing, don't get me wrong. But I can only guess (or more accurately, FUCKING HOPE) That all the scenes with the Valkyries and swirling fiery sky and dissolving building, etc....are when someone, maybe even Max, is completely tripping balls off of Valkyr, the drug that the games center around.
Also, I really hope they keep the dark, noir-ish poetry voiceovers from the game, even possibly some of the comic book style of exposition. But that MIGHT not work with the way they're doing this. -
I'm hoping this lives up to that trailer because as a fan of the games, it just owned my ass.
-
looking pretty sweet. I'll go see it now.
-
...I think it looks pretty flippin' cool. This is a movie I'd pay to see.
And they should make Constantine 2 as well. Without Shia. -
mmm hmm
-
MAX PAYNE!!! PAYNE TO DA MAX!!!
-
Valkyr- the drug the game is centered around must be taken to new levels in the movie, or mazbe those angels are metoforical(sp),

Never really played this game, is this what was going on?
by stormwatcher
Cuz that was not what I pegged the game to be about from reading the backcover. VERN should review this trailer. This will be DTV for me no matter what after seeing SHooter in theatre.
-
Was this sold right? What demographic is on this fern site?
-
I watched the trailer a few weeks ago and I have not wtched the one herer I never played the game But I'm well versed in Videogames as far as I know there is no Supernatural aspect to Max Payne but in trailer I saw a bunch of skeletal Angel what the F was up with that was that? Is that in the game?
-
I'm about to leave and in a rush.
-
What does that have to do with Max Payne?
-
When does that come out? Whatever Marilyn Manson song that was just totally made the trailer! Perfect! I'm excited to see this.
-
It looks corny as FUCK. But damn if it doesn't make me want to take along a 19 YO Hot Topic betty and and kill some brain cells for a hour and a half.
-
Since Clooney dumped him for Pitt.He isnt right for this they should have gone for someone like....oh I dunno ......Pitt
-
Beau Bridges is in a movie that doesn't have the Lifetime or Hallmark stamp of approval? I'm so there. and I would like to have relations with Maria Menudo and her Pantene flavored hair.
-
Is that I need Pantene Pro-V right now!
Also, this movie looks a lot better then I have thought it would look. So for now at least, the trailers look great, however trailers have done me wrong on many an occasion in the past. -
I played the game years ago, and I all I remember that those angelic demons were a big part of the game, and there was a major demonic aspect. It started out as just a cop and the game became more and more supernatural, so yes it was definitely part of the game. The game also had many playable levels inside his dreams, which were amazing, I'm hoping there are some sweet parts in his dreams.
-
This trailer being in front of that movie helped. God, Babylon was hilariously bad..NO wonder the director is pissed.

Based on a game which is a classic due to its storyline.
by indianstallion
Max Payne is a classic for two reasons. First was the introduction of bullet-time mode which was super cool, and secondly for its engrossing storyline that was unlike the other games at the time.
And as someone mentioned the game also includes levels where he is hallucinating, which accounts for some of the fantasy elements, but yeah I can't remember the angels, it was eons ago since I played it.
I can't wait for the movie. -
not sure about kunis, she's very hot and adorable I just don't know if she works as Mona sax?
-
its got the tone, the grit...but the constantine like hell angels dont really fit the bill. not to say constantine wasn't great to watch, but wouldve preferred a crime drama better.
-
the game was awesome to play...both max payne 1 and 2...spent nights on my pc digging the graphic novel style story telling.
looking forward to what mila will bring too. :) -
...I still have no idea what this movie/game is even about, though. I thought Max Payne was like a GTA knock off. And I think that was Jamaican Marlo Stanfield doing the trailer exposition narration.
-
looks like Constantine
-
but rarely have I ever seen anything this cool.
-
A bit too 90s no? a slice of John Woo, the pseudo dark style à la The Crow (at least without the brooding mime)? But it certainly looks quite nice. Of course it would be even better if the morons in charge of those movies didn't always believe that their demographic targets imply that we have to suffer the same ugly noisy crappy music on all of their trailers.
-
is no Mona Sax. Hollywood Miscasts Yet Another Female Lead Award #3371. It looks good, but then cutting a decent trailer is easy. Don't mind Marky Mark, but I still don't understand HOW he manages to land these movies. He giving good head to execs?
-
im a gamer, who never played max payne, therefore im in the target audience. (these movies have to be made for fans, as well as non-fans.) so as someone who doesnt know what each character is 'supposed' to look like, i have to say this looks pretty cool. i dont care if the angels were in the game or not, they look pretty cool.
-
against WB/Watchmen. That's right Rothman fuck you and your PG-13 world.
-
As a huge fan of the game, I can't help but actually like this trailer. But I can't quite separate the fan in me from the movie critic, so I'm not sure if it only looks good to me because it does a good job at nailing the game, or if I'd think it was just some garbage high-school-demographic flick.
The fact that the "supernatural" stuff has to just be a drug induced side effect has been beaten to death, but I'll agree that it's pretty much the only option since the game has nothing to do with the supernatural, thus there's no way at all they could even remotely work it into the story for the film without utterly butchering everything else. So that, I've decided, is a plus. I wasn't thrilled about Mark, he's never really given me anything that I've been too impressed with. But then again, I can't really see too many people playing the role of Max Payne, so after seeing him in action I'll let it pass for now.
As far as the narration goes, I definitely hope they keep it. That's one of the things that made the game, for me at least. Some call it cheesy, but that's like calling the dialog in comic book bubbles "corny"; it's not supposed to be Shakespeare. But even thought it was at times needlessly and overly poetic, it still gave the character a dimension beyond just some stereotypical cop out for vengeance. So I hope they can work the narration in somehow, though I'm not sure how good it'll turn out (even the opening narration for the trailer doesn't quite hit the same notes as the game version.)
It's going to be hard to do the "man with nothing left to lose" thing after it's been done so many times. The game pulled it off well but it was a video game; film is obviously a different stage. This movie needs lots of seriousness, lots of inner mourning and self-reflection, and intensity to really pull it off. I'd much rather it be more about the man and less about his bullets.
Speaking of bullets, there's no way around using the Woo stuff simply because it made the game famous. It may get a few eye-rolls from people who have seen the Matrix one too many times, but if somehow done tastefully and sparsely, it could work.
All in all, not much hope for this movie, simply because it's Hollywood, and a video game property. It's easy to cut a good trailer, so from the trailer alone I see a lot of potential. But I fear it'll all just end up as wishful thinking. -
Totally forgot my line breaks there. I won't bother reposting.
-
The only part that threw me off in the trailers have been the heavy use of Valkyries, but in the game narrative the drug Valkyr produces these hallucinations of Valkyries. So I guess it's the films way of elevating this plot point. I just hope it doesn't distract the greater story being told.
-
you're like a child. you have no power. rothman is indeed a fuck, but you are delusional to think that you or any other fanboy can do anything to fox. are you going to boycott cameron next year, too? Uh, that would be a no.
-
in there somewhere. Remember the time Meg played a vampire hunter?
-
WTF???? Based off the trailer, I might actually like a Marky Mark movie. Very WOO'ish, and I love old school Woo. Don't mind the supernatural aspects if it's a good story with some good action. Hope it's as dark and gritty as the trailer makes it out to be. I'll be there when it comes out.
-
i love the kunis!
-
...would have made a pretty great Max Payne. Marky Mark looks like he'll do a decent job here, but I always pictured Payne a little older and a lot gruffer. Mickey Rourke might have been good too, a few years back. I'm just glad they didn't go with Ben Affleck, who actually looks the part.
That said, this trailer looks pretty sweet. I don't remember as many drug hallucinations in the game as appear to be in the movie, but maybe the trailer's just a bit misleading. Remember when that Drug Lord is tripping and he says "I have tasted the flesh of fallen angels?" That was fucked up. The first game was fantastic, a real underrated gem. The second game was good, but there was this point where you had to jump from one fire escape to the other, and I just couldn't do it. Not under duress, not under some sort of time limit. Just jump from point A to point B. And I couldn't do it, so I said "fuck this game" and never went back. Same thing happened with the first Tomb Raider. Damn jumps. The world's a twisted place. -
This looks like it might be a good film. But. It cannot possibly be as amazing and as immersive as the games are.
-
the weak link could be Kunis, cute as she is she just doesn't look convincing as a bad ass. Maybe it will work, I hope so, but doubt it.
-
Nice to see him working.
-
This didn't look cool in the first place, so it can't continute to look cool, especially in an incredibly uncool trailer. I suggest you rent We Own The Night, The Killer and The Matrix, put them on three different channels/screens and just randomly flip back and forth. James Gray should have made this his sell out movie, then it might have been halfway decent.
-
That guy has NEVER made anything remotely watchable since that fabled PS2 ad. And anything that casts Mila Kunis is not worth taking seriously. I imagine she'd give a 'performance' on par with the utter vacuousness of whatsername in JUMPER. This movie will suck like few things have sucked before, but if it has some nice gore it MIGHT be worth a rental.
-
may look 'cool' yet still produce a terrible film.
-
neatly encapsulates everything that is wrong in mainstream American filmmaking today.
-
Im impressed! Please break the curse of the shitty video games adaptations. Then do a new proper Resident Evil and maybe an Uncharted: Drakes Fortune!
-
That was an awesome trailer.
-
Max Payne, Red Faction, AVP2, Rune, Deus Ex, Unreal. There just are not any games like this being made anymore. These games were innovative and they were cinematic. Then they went and made so much money that games caught the attention of the big money and that spoiled everything. Now... what great action games are there? There aren't any. Wait... there was one... Prey... from the creators of Rune. That game was a solid ass kicking. Otherwise... it's all a bunch of 3 level games stretched out into 30 levels of pointless repetitive $60 boredom. - this movie looks promising.
-
Grand Theft Auto? Mass Effect? Prey was the shit, bring on Prey 2. Orange Box? Resident Evil 4? Hello? Fucking Portal? Those are all more instant-classic than some on your list, anton. Fucking Eternal Darkness?
-
Max Payne is not a GTA ripoff. It was only released a month and a half after GTA 3, and they're both Rockstar games.
-
That usually results in Uwe-quality films. See: "Hitman" - or any other film based on any other computer game.
-
Man what I could have done with the money they spent on this masterpiece of garbage!!! I will be very surprised if this is actually a good movie, but from the trailer, I think it is going to bomb, and big. Just a lot of noise and guns and no direction, all drowning in a orgy of CGI much like Spawn and Constantine!!!
-
right?
-
it's a gritty crime game with shootouts, how can one not like it? And the movie, looks like it could be good.
-
The Valkyries and the weird burning sky are all part of the trips that Max Payne has. They were in the game. The movie will probably also feature a weird scene where he wanders down a dark coridor towards the sounds of a screaming baby. It looks like they've took every single element of Max Payne and put it in here. Love it!!Infact, in the game, one of his hallucinations was "You're in a computer game, Max" - so no doubt he'll hallucinate he's in a movie :)
-
I'll admit the movie is sort of pretty. But other than that, this film is a perfect example of "an R-rated storyline being cut to PG-13." Seriously, his wife is shot and there isn't an ounce of blood on their bed?
All-in-all, the movie looks mediocre. I loved the game - but the changes from the game aren't what make it bad - it's the acting, the overuse of special effects, and the crappy dialogue.
-
that are illegal within the Republic. I'd have to take her to the Outer Rim. And now I'm going to change tampon brands. Thanks, ad within an ad!
-
Too bad this trailer probably spoiled THE ENTIRE FUCKING MOVIE.
Thing is the Hitman trailer looked kinda cool too, and we know how that turned out in the end. -

I was about to say, all that mystical stuff didn't actually...

happen in the game, did it? I haven't played that game in a long time. In fact, video games have gotten so rote that I don't really play them anymore.
-
What angels?
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
I just "ROTE" that
-
need work, this demographic hasn't seen, let alone have, vaginae (that's the accepted plural, I shit you not) that would necessitate the tampons that were being hocked.
-
... and so far gotta say this looks cool. I'm cautiously optimistic..!
-
the fucking point! they might as well be ripping up $100,000 bills in the shower.
-
Looks like Marky Mark caught mumblitis in The Happening and hasn't shaken it yet!
-
Was that Stephen A. Smith or Eddie Griffin as the police detective about 1/3rd of the way in?
-
and Manson is crap, too
-
Not CONSTANTINE, like this trailer looks like.
-
Don't hate- it looks great.
-
perfectly, and This looks like a cross between Payback and The Crow.
I'm officially interested in this production. -
This looks amazing. I just hope to god they don't ruin it by releasing a PG-13 movie.
-
they are showing the end of the movie there when marky mark is on that helipad. you know what i'm talkin about.
i dont like the angels -
I get the whole slow-mo bullet-time game tie in, but a lot of slow motion and a decent soundtrack can be used to make just about anything (almost) look compelling. When is Half-life going to make it to the big screen?
-
And thank the Lord for no Uwe Boll. He even managed to f*** up Postal, how is that even possible LOL!
Yep, a careful thumbs up, Mark looks good as well. (I played both MP games) -
Corky from Life Goes On retarded.
-
I wonder if this is a metaphor for people that are hooked on the valkyr drug. Which would sorta be in line with the supernatural theme of the game when Max has those hallucinations. I'm excited!
-
This had better be as dark and violent as the games. Hopefully they won't try to make the death/revenge of his wife a family experience...
-
nothing else matters
-
...instead of Agent 47. What a colossal display of miscasting that was. Anyway, I have faith that Wahlberg can pull this off, but if you go back and look at the character as he is modeled in the game, Sheriff Bullock would'a been fucking perfect for it.
-
...I will fucking kick Tom Rothman in his fucking nuts.FUCK FOX AND THEIR FUCKING PG-13 BULLSHIT AGENDA!!! FUCK THEM TO HELL!!!
-
might be ok, might not.
-
What's the title of the song playing?
That's Ludacris as the cop. -
"If I Was Your Vampire" - Marilyn Manson
-
I've never played the game, but I'm definitely there on opening day. I love the tone, music, and the action seems well blended with drama. I love that song. I recognize the singer's voice. I'm sure someone here has probably already posted the name.
-
That's Marilyn Manson. **face palm**
-
and you were fresh out of cash"- May Payne
Just one example of great noir-style dialogue in the game. Hope they keep that intact, along with the "Lords & Ladies" stuff. -

"Valkyr was supposed to be a maiden that would lift you...
by skinjob69
...to a warrior's heaven. Instead, it had turned out to be a one-way demon ride to hell."- Max Payne
-
Maybe John Moore is doing his penitence by shooting Max Payne the way The Omen should have been shot. Yes, looks like a Constantine retread but we'll never know till it's out, right?
-
Any movie looks good w/ a dark Marilyn Manson song playing through the whole thing.
-
but Ebert will like it cuz it looks purdy. He gave Hitman a 3 star review I recall.
-
Yahoo video STINKS
-
Max Payne tried way too hard to be Sin City, and it wound up being a bloody and juvenile remake of seventeen Bogart movies.
"The sun went down with practiced bravado. Twilight crawled across the sky, laden with foreboding. "
lots of crap narration like that. The only thing that made the game worth playing was it was the first game to innovate what we refer to now as "bullet time" where time almost comes to a stand-still and gunfire plays out in extreme slow motion. -
this looks fucking awesome
-
its not. Its a movie about drug pushing mafia crime syndicates. All those scenes that look supernatural are depictions of drugged-up halucinations.
This trailer is trying REALLY HARD to make you think its a Constantine flick, but its not. -
What really bugs me about movies that are shot like this is that everything looks really sanitized. As much as I liked Sin City, the digital backgrounds and stylized sets killed the illusion of making environments look like they're inhabited. I see the same problem here. I really hope this isn't the case with Watchmen.
-
fanboys have no power? just look at the actual movie "Fanboys" if a bunch of Star Wars nerds can get 2 juggernauts of the industry (i mean that litterally and figuratively)the Weinstein Bros. to cave, I think Tom "Giant Robots in movies will never work so forget about seeing the Sentinels in X-Men" Rothman will fold. I'll see Avatar, I'll just pay for another movie and sneak in. Or just sneak in period, like it's that hard.
-
color me pleasantly surprised...again! badassery
-
Halfway thru the trailer I realized it's Kunis, and damn she grew up nice. Don't remember Valkyries in the game. Unless the reviews trash it, I'm all in. And is it just me or does this thing remind anyone else of the Crow??
-
So let me get this straight... 2 or 3 shots in a trailer that somewhat resemble the same imagery and color schemes used in another movie, and suddenly it's "LOOKS WAY TOO MUCH LIKE CONSTANTINE, SO UNORIGINAL, SUCKS"...? Are you kidding? You should just say "Oh wait, he's running from a bunch of bullets with glass shattering all around him just like that other movie, WOW so unoriginal."
Yes, those few shots in the trailer may resemble that other movie. But any idiot here who is completely overblowing that connection should just spare us from their stupidity and be silent. -
Aug 29, 2008 2:38:10 PM CDT
Wow. I actually LIKE the idea of Mila Kunis as an action star
by dogsoup
From Jackie to Meg to Kicking ass. It seems a natural transition...
-
read the fucking talkback morons, if I see one more person ask what's up with those angel things I dont remember them from the game this is constantine 1.5 durrr THE ANGELS AND DEMONS ARE DRUG HALLUCINATIONS and I think they look really cool actually and I'm really sick of overused CGI too, the games are gritty, noir crime/revenge dramas that are well plotted for video games with some really cool and some cheesey voiceover dialogue. the shots that are super slo mo (gun firing with snow flicking off of it and some others) were shot using a special camera that shoots at 120 frames a second I believe
-
Kunis doesn't really fit in there, she's pretty nice to look at but it should be someone else, wahlberg is appropriate
-
the Yahoo video player is such a piece of shit.
-
Looks good. Totally un-Max Payne-ish but still, looks good. Kunis AIN'T hot at all. Deal with it.
-

Anyone saying this doesn't look awesome is a douche....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
...and most likely a Tarantino, Rodriguez and/or Frank Miller fan. So fuck off. I'll enjoy it. Eat my dick.
-
Max Payne is a killer game. Throw in "Lords and Ladies", and you got yourself boxoffice GOLD.
-
I hope this is good. Not because I'll see it, but because I don't want him to have to poorly-received movies in one year. You can do it, Mark! You look awesome. :)
-
they won't do PG-13, no fucking way that would work considering the violence, sex, and gritty nature of the videogames being translated faithfully to film. im not STOKED about this movie by any means....HITMAN was decent but butchered by most critics (FUCK Ebert....inconsistent prick)and the best videogame-to-movie film has been Silent Hill in my opinion, not so much from the acting but they kept the style very close to the games. ill probably see this out of curiousity AND im a fan of the games (all 2 of them), we'll see.
-
I hope this one works out for you bro.
Ari Gold and E have really let you down with the movie role picks since The Departed. If this one flops, please fire those hacks and come get some real representation
Word,
Josh Weinstein -
I had no Idea the game was so far out does he spend the whole game Hallucinating Seeing wierd shit.
-
but I'm still not liking Kunis as Mona. They should have cast someone a foot taller and 10 years older. She's supposed to be Max's equal, not fucking jailbait.
-
I like that they've taken the metaphor further and actually have these scary fuckers flying around in the film. If they combine this with the drug references and nail the tone (which it looks like they have from this trailer) it might just be the B-movie experience to watch!
-
I was this close to making the Silent Hill reference earlier.I thought Silent Hill did a decent job at capturing the look of the game, but the "mood" was still completely lost. The only way you're going to capture the mood of Silent Hill is to have an unarmed character with one flashlight in complete darkness hearing disturbing sounds and seeing some messed up things in the dark. Not running around a well-lit set with plenty of fill lights and background lights just put there to "set the environmental mood".But the real reason I was going to compare this to SH is the trailer. When I saw the initial Silent Hill teaser (not the full trailer that came later), I was completely blown away. But the finished product looked nothing like that teaser. The trailer was cut at a disturbing pace with distorted imagery straight from the game, with one of those pulse-raising "running from something unknown and inhuman in complete darkness and panic" industrial music tracks also from the game. But of course the movie didn't capture the same spirit as the trailer by far. Which leads me to believe this may be more of the same.
-
By "The trailer was cut at a disturbing pace with distorted imagery straight from the game" I mean the look and feel of the imagery, not actual clips from the game... incase anyone was like "wtf".
-
Agreed on the Silent Hill trailer point, But you couldn't make an entire film of those crazy images / sharp edits. You need some pacing and narrative, and while arguably the film got a few things wrong, I enjoyed it thoroughly, and it did stay true to the game In my opinion. Repeat viewings help too!
-
Not bad... but I can do without the ubiquitous emo slo-mo. What the fuck.. why can't they make an action movie nowadays that doesn't feel like a quaalude-doused slow motion nightmare?
Also, good to see Luda (ATL!) in a role he can chew on like a piece of fried chicken and beer. -
I'm not suggesting the entire film should've been shot erratic and disorienting, but it would've been better to throw in some of those types of shots to capture the proper feeling of panic, instead of "Oh look, she's running from CGI stuff and people in makeup."
Repeat viewings didn't help my opinion of Silent Hill unfortunately, and as I said, I feel they got the LOOK of the game right, and maybe the "feel" if you only count certain imagery and short seconds of scenes. But taken as a whole the mood was lost, though I can completely agree that it made the best attempt of any video game-based film outside of Mortal Kombat. But taking a fighting game and expanding upon it is probably easier than retranslating a game with a lengthy and complex story, so I'm not sure how many people really take MK into the equation. -
I completely agree that slo-mo is used way too much in action films. Seeing the utterly asinine trailer for Wanted made me, for a split second, want to just stop watching movies altogether.That being said, the slo-mo shots in this trailer are actually satisfying to me... no doubt because of my love for the game. But I can see that to anyone unfamiliar with the game it would be another eye-rolling shooting-while-diving-in-slow-motion action film. And I guess saying "it's only cool if you've played the game" won't change their minds, and rightfully so (it sure as hell wouldn't change mine if someone told me Wanted was based on a video game where people did dumbass, needless slow-motion spins and actions.)I don't expect the trailer or movie to be too well received by the general public (already apparent by this talkback), but once the reviews hit I might actually see it.
-
they must be damn handy in bars these days, i wonder where you can get them.
-
that's about all I can say for it
-
"MTV has a curious quote from Mark Wahlberg recounting a bit of advice give to him from The Happening director M. Night Shyamalan. "[Night] gave me the worst advice he could have ever given me. He said, 'After [The Happening], you can never hold a gun again. You know that, right?' I said, 'Are you crazy?' He said, 'I'm serious, don't ever hold a gun again.' And I said, 'I don't know about that, man.'" Ironically enough that advice is quickly out the window as Wahlberg's gun laden follow-up to The Happening, Max Payne, hits theaters on October 17."- from IMDB

Wow, this looks brilliant! Just spray and go shhhhhh
by theycallmemrglass
It will make my hair look healthy and shiny. Pantene Pro V is gonna rock!
-
The asshat who wrote that "synopsis" has simply watched the trailer and never played the games.
-
and I'm not sure what I think about it.
-
Mortal Kombat is an interesting one. I remember quite liking when it came out all those years ago, but it hasn't aged very well. It's also quite tongue-in-cheek at times. One thing I admired about Silent Hill was that it took the source material seriously. Too many VG-to-film adaptations go for a more humourous / self aware tone. Max Payne looks like it stays true to the feel of the game, which I think is a good thing.
