Rockstar Attemped to Prevent Max Payne Movie, Game Producer Now Proud of Film

Silent Hill wears the crown by far. Artistically beautiful, faithful translation of creatures and atmosphere, different plot but still highly enjoyable.

With the economy the way it is, and how advertising seems to be out of whack now days I'm suprised MP did as well as it did. A lot of people have no idea what it is or about, and of course they hollywooded it up just a bit to appeal to those who have never played the game.

All game to movie adaptations have to suffer that fate in order to appeal to people who don't play the games. That's just how it is and will always be with games adapted to movie format. To chime in on Max Payne, I watched it on opening weekend and enjoyed it very much. They changed a few things in the story line from the game, but it was still very close, action packed and entertaining in my opinion.

I hope it does well enough for a sequel b/c I'd like to see one. Also if you decide to see it, then make sure to watch through the credits. There's a scene at the end that you'll want to see, so don't run out of the movie at the end like every other average movie go'er.

As far as other game to movie adaptations go, I've enjoyed a few of them. I enjoyed all of the Resident Evil films, Mortal Kombat films were ok, Tomb Raider was done well imo. I haven't seen Hitman which I've been told by people who haven't played the game is good, but I'll have to see for myself.

Doom was ok, not the best but not horrible either. Street Fighter sucked ballz, as did the old Mario Brothers film back in the day.

you guys are all crazy. mortal kombat is top dog when it comes to vg to film.

"Following Remedy Entertainment's 2001 debut of the action-shooting series arrived," This portion of the sentence makes no sense.

Yeah, I guess $20mil in less than a week at the box office will get anyone's panties straightened out.

"the best game-to-film efforts we've seen in the industry."

King of the pieces of shit then? I mean we have Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros., Doom.....it's not exactly the oscars.

maybe miller realized they can make a more faithful adaption in the 2nd movie once the 1st one rakes in some cash?

Resident Evil
Hitman (Wasn't very good but watchable)
Silent Hill (Watchable)

Everything else was a piece of crap.

I love how Miller says "Along with the first Tomb Raider, I think it's hard to argue that Max Payne isn't one of the best two adaptations yet"

Did he watch a different Tomb Raider movie than I did? God that was awful.

The only game-to-movie I can think of that didn't suck a tremendous amount of balls was Silent Hill.

I'm not saying it was a fantastic movie, but it was definitely worth a watch due to it being very close to what the game was in regards to story, soundtrack and characters (even though the main character in SH1 was a dude).

Every other game to movie isn't worth the film its recorded on.

Hitman was better.

Ahhh - it's amazing how fast money can change someone's tune.

The beat out Beverly Hills Chihuahua by like $7 million dollars..........

I guess the person telling Miller what to say about the film got confused for a bit.

Wait. What am I missing here? Wasn't Miller quoted a day or two ago as saying he thought the film was crap?

?!?!?!? miller must be reading the note cards wrong

If they screw up MP2, it's GAME ON, MOTHERFUCKERS.

I'd love to hear the story behind the politics of its production, especially anything that affected it creatively
