[peacemf]

Max Payne Is Barely PG-13, Says Director

i know its a business at the end of the day, but what the hell!!!

can you just make the film GOOD, then ppl will watch it!

you only have to dumb it down to a pg-13 when its not that great!!!

Why the **** did they add angels?! I mean if the story was weak enough that it needed to be spiced up with bull**** why even invoke the franchise?

Story looks to be excellent... but Marks voice really does not suit Max at all.. he seems to talk normal.. MAX PAYNE IS NOT NORMAL.

The film is 50/50 for me, I am unsure about it!

I didn't get the winged demon behind Max Payne in picture.

What does that mean?

They were in his dream sequences in the games.

I'm hoping what we're seeing are part of his dream sequences or, at the very most, hallucinations. They were never supposed to be real.

It's quite, umm, distracting, seeing the CN Tower in those pics... I hope when they do the subway scenes, I won't feel like I'm waiting for one of those damned vehicles, lol.

AICN Review is in!

Just to quote...

Nobody comes out of this thing looking good. The damn thing's 85 minutes and you swear you've been in there for about two and a half hours by the time it's over. All the buzz you've been hearing about how this film is good is coming from people whose jobs depend on it making money. Do not give it the time of day.

So the movie will be flopped like hitman?

Couple of reviews at RT and both are rotten.

Well there goes my hope of giving it a fair chance. I'll probably still check it out...once on DVD.

Much like Jon Favreau did with Iron Man this summer, director John Moore has included a scene at the very end of Max Payne that gives you just the info you need to go into a potential Max Payne 2.

It should come as no surprise that there might be a sequel to the movie, given that the video game spawned its own sequel back in 2003. You'll have to decide yourself if the movie Max Payne makes you thirsty for more-- personally I can't imagine sitting through another minute. Special thanks to fellow critic Gerald Wright, who pointed out the sneak ending for me.

Wow! You guys are really sorry! I went and saw this movie and it was honestly very good, yes I did play the video game as well (getting one and two this week again off ebay) the movie follows the game very very closely with some minor changes because well it is a hollywood flick. And just so everyone knows they guy that wrote the game co-wrote the movie as well. Seriously give it a chance, although I think it should have been rated R because it is such a grusome story and they really should have pushed the grusomeness of the story!!!!

PS: They do elaborate on the "angles" in the movie and it really does tie into the story quite well and Mark did a very good job in this role.

I give the movie a 8/10 again like I said it is not the best movie ever but this and Hitman are by far my favorite video games movies made with DOOM at a very very distant 3rd...

a) Following the story 'closely': I've played the first game many times and I can safely say they've twisted around a fair amount of things from the original plot. They reordered and dropped a lot... to me these aren't 'minor' changes.

b) I don't think the game's writer (Sam Lake) had a say in this movie's production. I mean sure, he was the one who came up with the story 8 years ago, but going by that logic he 'cowrote' all these fan-created screenplays that have popped up on the 'net.

Sam Lake is only credited because he wrote the story it was based off of, just like Philip K. Dick is credited for the Minority Report story even though he was dead when it was being made ;)

I was looking on a heroes site earlier for news and saw that there was 2 Heroes actors in the film, did any Heroes fans catch that? (I haven't seen it yet)
