He Should of started killing people in the subway right to the top like the game and realese his finger from the trigger than its over. Just for S@#ts and giggles The resident evil movies sucked to! The only movie remake from a game that was any good was silent hill Exacally like the game I recomend that movie!

What the f@#k was that? He didnt even start killing people till an hour in the movie like come on? No famous one liners from the game! They should of used “Tell the devil that dime sent you”! And its the fleash of fallin angels! The guy in that penzoil comercial looked more like max payne. The best part was the grin when he blew away the 2 guys with the shot gun an HOUR IN THE MOVIE! He could of also said “so much for being subtle”. And whats with all the black guys? Ludacris come on just rediculas.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. Let’s take a look at the preview. Mark Wahlberg – BADASS, Mark Wahlberg shooting stuff, and blowin stuff up – Even More BADASS. The film Max Payne – Waste of 9$.

I think if you’re a fan of the videogame you might not like MAX PAYNE the movie. I knew nothing about it other than what I read online. I loved the trailer, then I love Mark Wahlberg’s work. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie [saw it last night], in fact, it was better than I expected. Visually it was terrific. I don’t remember a very slo-mo scene as has been described above. I think you’re exaggerating! I didn’t care for Mila Kunis. Honestly, she was way too young to be believable as an assassin! Great bonus scene after the credits. It was an entertaining movie & Mark was terrific in it!

Like I called it in the DB rant, MEDIOCRE. Ok Wahlberg looked somewhat like Max Payne, Mila was almost dead on as Mona Sax. Olga Kurylenko was the best part of the movie. The whole Valkyrie thing was a total rip off of Indigo Prophecy, and they should have stuck to game more. The garage scene was terrible towards the end when he was drugged up and “focusing”. The “Bullet TIme” scene was ok, but they needed more of them instead of just slow mo deaths. Hopefully there will be an unrated dvd with scenes actually added abck into the movie instead of as stand alone deleted scenes.

@JonIntulsa

Excellent point and it just speaks to how poorly this movie was written.

Vic, I am married and I understand your point. Fact is most of the target audience for this movie is not married and when writing a script these things need to be accounted for. You ARE right, if she started in with the whole call me her name business I too would have done that BUT…

I wouldn’t have taken her to my house unless I wanted to shag her brains out,

I wouldn’t have let her even get to the point that we needed to be somewhere for that to happen.

If you want to build character and develop a particular emotional pull, you don’t do it by bringing a hot chick back to your home when you could have had that conversation in a coffee shop or fifteen other ways I could have got that point across.

Main Point being, you shag the Russian (or at lest I wanted to see it)

Cheers: )

@JonInTulsa

Regarding your closing comment. You are obviously NOT married nor ever have been. If his wife died and he was so affected by it that he’s been obsessively following every single lead for three years straight, and then a woman lays in bed and starts pretending she’s his wife, I would have kicked her the hell out as well. Regardless of how “hot” she was.

( Spoilers )
Okay, the movie is NOT that bad. I went into this movie ready to hack and slash everything I saw wrong.

That being said, I was able to pin point some problems;

1) The screen writers were unsure if this was a detective story or an action flick; the flow was all wrong. Way to many stop and go hang-up’s. This is responsible for making the movie seem longer than it is.

2) Wrong cast for the parts.

Example Bridges as BB? Everyone loves this guy and to believe that he is a converted follower of the Douche Bag faith. That was just a little beyond me.

All the actors are good, they are not right for this movie. Hey, I even have to give props to Luda for making me (even if it was only a split second) think he was his character. Well done Luda.

For film junkies who actually get into shot sequencing and direction there are some gems for you in this film.

AGAIN, That said, Just when I am thinking “hey this movie is decent,” Walhberg comes busting into an empty room shooting and shouts “BEE-BEEEEEE” in a Stallone’ish voice that was good for a audience laugh.

This movie was by no means “over directed.” If anything it was under-directed and over Edited. There were times in the movie I had the thought of “uh-oh some editior is never working in the industy again.”

FYI ” I don’t care if your wife died a violent death or what not, but If a hot slutty Russian walks into your house begging to be corn-holed to china, YOU DO IT! A real Detective bangs the hot chick then asks her questions, not the other way around.

i suspect the storyline for Max Payne is a lot more exciting when it’s happening in the form of a video game… except for those few exciting parts that i already saw in the preview, it was a snoozefest

Saw the movie today, its bad. Who is picking Wahlberg’s movies for him? It had some promise in the beginning but goes flat and eventually gets to the point where you don’t know whats going on. No character development, no buildup to any climatic scene, its just bad. Don’t waste the money on this one.

BTW, I didn’t stay through the credits because by the end it was so awful I just wanted to get the heck out of the theater.

Ok. Youre entitled to your opinion.
I played the both games all the way through multiple times, and I didnt like the movie.

To each his or her own

Wow, this review sucks, i have played both games many times and i find this 90% true to the storyline in the game, if you have never played the game then DONT write a review for it. Seriously. I honestly think that this movie is for the Payne fans and not lame movie critics.

And there will be a sequal (that CEO lady will be the next plot and if u stayed after the credit they showed a 5 min. extension). Thank you.

So i see the movie tonight and since my expectations ave been shot,( not that they were high to begin with) I should enjoy the movie a little more after a couple of mojito’s and some close friends to ridicule the movie with.

I have to ask the question, If I hold my breath when the slo-mo starts will I die if I try to hold until its over?
