Check the trailer out here.

Must admit, it looks cool. I will watch it.
WhIpLaSh
Looks kief.

I actually like Mark Wahlberg in this kind of role, he pulls it off. He was pretty good in a similar role in Shooter.

Hope this doesn't suck.
Fishfly
I must say I quite like mark wahlberg's movies... not bad for a bad boy wannabe.

He does somewhat remind me of the guy in max payne... maybe the height would be a problem...
Paul
It's like Sin City meets Constantine

Please just be better than Shooter. *holds thumbs*

I'll watch it!

Looks sweet!

The trailer I saw yesterday infront of Tropic Thunder didn't really appeal to me.

Maybe this might've been a good idea before gritty, slowmo and troubled protagonists became such a fad. That said, Mark is a badass so I will watch (hell, I watched Hitman which really sucked.)

What sucks about seeing a hot chica in a movie, thinking to yourself: "OMG, I want to see her naked" and getting to see her naked in said film? tongue.gif

Max Payne looks alright... nothing else coming out ATM dry.gif

I think its going to be pretty epic honestly; the trailer looks cool and the Max Payne story is pretty good as far as a basic action movie goes..

Olga Kurylenko smile.gif
JuCa
Can't say I know her. Seriously, hitman was a crapfest sad.gif
Surge
So, you watched Hitman, but don't know how Olga Kurylenko is? Were u high during the movie or what? sad.gif
JuCa

I must have forgotten?

Seems like its doing well at the box office, even with all the negative reviews its been getting. I'm still excited to see it; I hope its not a let down...
Paul
i'll still watch it
Surge
The TV spots are enough for me. I too shall be watching this.
JuCa
Its got Mark Wahlberg, he is pretty cool wink.gif

Wow. Metacritic also has the users saying 5.0/10 which isn't great. I fear this really will be a flop.
Fishfly
hmmm crap going to watch it tonight... hope it's not crap else I'll never hear the end of it sad.gif
Heir_of_Isildur
God awful sad.gif

Wasn't expecting much, but sweet jesus dry.gif
JuCa
LOL!
fx
Wow thats a shame sad.gif I'll be honest I still feel like I'm excited to see it.. going to be disappointed sad.gif
Fishfly
OMG went to watch it on friday... the movie could have been over in 60 min yet they dragged the biach out to 90minute! OMFG.. whoever wrote the script should be shot as well!
Surge
LOL. Shit. I guess it's a good thing that I couldn't get to see it over the weekend.

A buddy also said that it was shit. I still wanna see for myself though.
JuCa
Woah, 5/10 too generous for Max Payne?


Fishfly
definately!
fx
lol this is full on upsetting.. I've been talking it up for weeks now and I fear I'll be ashamed sad.gif

The story has more holes than a shot-up metal door, the acting feels bored at best, and the intermittent action, while passable, hardly makes up for the downtime.
Paul
i'll still go watch it, wearing a disguise though


Fishfly

So true... you'd think there was going to be heaps of action, but to no avail sad.gif

I had lost interest in it with about 40 minutes to go, and I never do that! The only thing keeping me interested was the thought that OMG... no action so far, so they must be keeping it for last, but ja dry.gif

Hmm - this is a tough one - i still want to watch it, but with all the bad reviews dont know if I should wait for divx rather...

I was sooo disappointed that dude from prison break turned out to be SUCH a anticlimax!
CyberStorm
I saw it on Sunday.
It was an average movie at best!

After playing Max Payne 1 and 2, maybe I expected too much!

Don't waste your money seeing it, wait for the DVD or just download it.

Yeah, I kept thinking... wow, they're really building it up to some super climax... and then beeeeeeeeeeeep (tone from those machines in hospital tongue.gif )

lol is it just me or when someone posts a spoiler does everyone just look even if they want to see the movie sad.gif
Surge
Depends on how interesting the movie seems. In this case, with all the kak reviews, I didn't even hesitate the check out the spoiler. tongue.gif

this movie was junk - im disappointed in Mark - usually he does some okay stuff and ive always enjoyed his movies since "the big hit" - this one was something you could choke with - it was that pukeworthy - the guys giving it 5 out of 10 were over generous - it gets half out of ten from me

funny thing is that Olga Kurylenjko was in hitman and also in this one - hitman was okay - and this one was crap and now she is in the "bond" movie too - hope that isnt disappointing as well but from the shorts ive seen im not too optimistic on that one either

is it just me or are current movies just toilet nowadays - nothing ive seen recently was decent
fx
Hitman was aweful sad.gif

Yeah, it's that time of year again. You should be watching at Nouveau this time of year... all the Oscar hopeful movies are being release there now.
Surge
Ok, saw the movie, and it was a disaster. It felt as though I was watching a b-movie from the 80s. The director should be hung from his scrotum for this travesty. sad.gif
Fishfly
lol ya wasted 1h of my life!

did you watch it at the movies?
fx
And it has such epic potential. You can correct me if you think I'm wrong; but stuff like Postal was going to fail from the start - Max Payne had a real story that could have attracted non-gamers just the same..

Sadly, yes. The only consolation is that it was half price Tuesday. tongue.gif

QUOTE

True. Where was the bullet time? I mean, I expected a LOT more bullet time, and I sat there thinking, "Hey, now THAT woulda been a good scene for some bullet time," so often.

Remember that dream sequence level in the game, where you herd the baby crying? Man, they couldn't even come CLOSE to the freakishness that the game had just on that part alone.
Heir_of_Isildur
Bullet time... wtf was action? There were like 3 action scenes! And they were shit scenes dry.gif
