Max Payne: First Shot Of Mark Wahlberg As Max Payne

lol At the article tho. I just don't see him making a good Max Payne. Not that anyone would. But the snow being a big part in the movie sounds cool. As it was a major part of the first game.

Personally I've always liked Video Game Movies dating back to Super Mario Bros in '93. I know they don't do that well at the box office but I normally love them. So, I'm also looking forward to this one. Plus Mark Wahlberg should be good.

He's too chubby.

There has yet to be one video game movie that actually did what happened in the video game.

Plus Max Payne is a graphic novel if anything. They will throw in some lame unneeded subplot like they always do, and ruin it.

And yeah Marky Mark doesn't have the look or style of Max. Closest thing was Mel Gibson in Payback.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing last time I saw that film.

Who says a movie based on a video game has to have a plot around the game itself? Mostly they just buy the rights to the characters and do their own plot. Most people complain that the movies are never like the game, but Hollywood does movies for everybody so they want to grab the gamers (younger people) with video game characters/style and then grab everybody else with the plot/effects/actors.

And thats why they all suck.

Example? Resident Evil. Hmm want to have it take place is a badass, huge, scary mansion with loads of monsters? Nah, lets fuck over the entire storyline and put it in some random bunker. Sounds good!

Video game movies mostly appeal to, get this, people who played the game. So why in the hell do they think changing something that 98% of the audience already loves is a good idea?

And as much as I love video games, they don't make good movies. You can't re-create with a movie what you experience with a video game. The only game movie I could see being just like the game itself would be Halo. In which case they just show a painting of the Mona Lisa, then poop all over it.

I hope they quit the max payne game and continue the games... really not looking forward to this movie.

I was hoping the indie payne film would be good. I still wanna see it, because it looks alot more true to the game. But recent trailer made it look really lame lol.
