Max Payne Movie - A "Payne" to Watch.

[Ganado_Headshot]

I don't understand some of the hype that goes into video game movies, chances are you know you will like it when you see the first commercial because you are either a "fanboy" of the series of games, or you like the idea. You shouldn't let someone change your opinion on a movie.

DISCLAIMER: Sorry if I offended anyone with my use of fanboy.

The original game was amazing, shame they crapped all over it with Mark Wahlberg. He manages to be out-acted by a plastic potted plant in The Happening. So considering that he was a terrible casting for Max.

I knew it.

I'm a Hitman fan, watched the Hitman movie... Was average. Not a complete failure, but could've been much better.

Can't imagine how bad must the Max Payne film be. Guess I should take same PAYNEkillers and watch it, no?

I haven't seen this movie, but I like Mark Wahlberg. He's a good actor. I would like to see this movie just out of intrest.

I'm sorry, but the title of this thread has got to be the laziest pun on earth.

Max Payne 1 and 2 are in my top 10 favorite games. It wasn't everything it could have been, but it wasn't a bad movie. There's several worse movies that get praised that I think would better justify discussion. Mark Wahlberg was probably the only actor in the business that could pull Max Payne off, and he pulled it off very well. Mila Kunis was the complete opposite though, just awful. I think the movie would have been better off without Mona Sax at all than Mila Kunis acting as her, though she basically had no part in the movie anyway.
I've played through both games a dozen times, and again they're my favorite of any game, and I'll say it's worth seeing if you've enjoyed the games. Though, it's not the 'must see if you enjoyed the games' that it should have been, or at least, was expected to be.

When I first heard they were making a Max Payne movie, I naively got excited. However, the more and more I read about it, the sadder I got. I haven't seen it, but I'm not feeling "Good Vibrations".

I see what you did there

Good review mate

Perhaps Tom Jane of The Punisher would've been a better Max...they're very similar roles
