Max Payne Movie Trailer: Exceedingly 'Awesome'
by Blake Ellison, Aug 29, 2008 1:57pm PDTThe Hollywood adaptation of Remedy's action series Max Payne is almost upon us, and
with that Hollywood has delivered an official theatrical trailer previewing the Mark Wahlberg flick premiering October 17th.
The trailer previews the film's gunplay and story, both of which draw heavily from the PC series, as well as hinting at Max's relationship with female assassin Mona, played by Mila Kunis.
Shacknews editor Chris Faylor expressed relief with the lack of "recurring baby screams" in the trailer. "Please, please no having recurring baby screams," he repeated, adding, "Or maze-like dream sequences."
Meanwhile, movie-hating newbie Shacknews editor Blake Ellison asserted, "There are not enough expletives in the English language to describe how awesome this movie is going to be."

Ugh, this movie could do it. I seriously hope it breaks the good-game-bad-movie stigma.
At least it looks well made though, which is more than I can say about 90% of the game-movie adaptations. I'll give it a chance

Story and choice of actors seems terrible. I won't sully my memories of the game by seeing what distinctly looks to be yet another in an endless stream of Hollywood "let's see if we can't fit even more loud, BOOM, cRaCk!!, hyperactive action into an action movie"...

But I wonder - as much as we're all on board with the whole "these must be dream sequences or something" bit, will the average audience? What I mean is - I think the average person might look at this trailer and think that it's about a police department that fights thugs and valkyries.

(Interesting that both games have an Aesir Corp, just not as heavy-handed as in MP as it was in TH).

I get a bit worried about the Valkyries and how much they were portrayed in the preview. The only thing that will make it an epic fail is the overuse of them beyond drug dreams.
Quantum of Solace is where it's at for me
