I've never played any of the Max Payne games, but I'm looking forward to this movie as just a new action movie that doesn't look like total crap.  Crap maybe, but not total.

I saw the trailer for it , and besides the fact that they got Kevin;s favorite actor , Mark Wahlberg playing Payne, the trailer showed some funky ass constantine like shit . Demons and shit . That was totally whack .

I'm still kinda jaded over the wahlberg thing . They coulda taken any one of these guys who are so perfectly suited to do a Payne role, like Oliphaunt(Hitman) or even Keanu Reeves(His constantine role was total Payne) .

That demon stuff in the trailer did look odd and made me think what did that have to do with the Max Payne movie. Maybe they are trying to convey that Max Payne made a deal with Satan or something to get revenge.

I have a gut feeling the movie will be horrible, but who knows. Definitely a one time watch. The slow motion bullet time was fun in the game, I sure hope the director doesn't try to overuse it in the entire movie. An entire movie in slow motion would suck.  Mission Impossible 2 tried to use slow motion a lot and contributed a lot to the movie being horrific!

I totally have the same feeling . That this has nothing to do with max payne , it's gonna be a shitty action movie using too much slow-mo and not do it right and gonna suck , and NO one is gonna take the creative aspects of games seriously again .

Btw , welcome to the forums . Good to see a new face around here .

Isn't Max Payne similar to the movie 'The Punisher'?  Seems like both of these movies have very similar plot lines.

it looks kind of iffy to me, and I have a problem with some of the casting (according to the IMDB page):

Mila Kunis being cast as Mona Sax...
Mona Sax is one tough sexy broad, and Mila Kunis is neither sexy or tough. She's way to soft to play Mona Sax.

Ludacris being cast as Jim Bravura?!?!?
Lt. Bravura is an old white guy... so they cast Ludacris? Doesn't make much sense to me.

As far as the story goes:
I guess there is a lot of parallels between the Punisher and Max Payne, Payne's family was killed and he just goes crazy into drugs and gets on a path where he "just don't give a fuck". He just kills everything without remorse.

Manson music and flapping angel plus CGI fire makes a good trailer but doesn't mean it'll be a good movie.

I dunno, if Wahlberg is the biggest actor your movie has, it's not looking good.  Sometimes you get a new director with talent that does something good and interesting, but this movies looks like toilet water from where I'm standing.

I'll still watch it though.

I think the idea behind the demons with wings might be a stab at the v junkie line "The flesh of fallen angels" the first game was laced with satanism and people lit.

I agree the 70s show chic might ruin it for me. and I'm a little worried about the PG-13 rating the second game was worse than a PG-13 rating in dialog.

Well I guess that was a little blunt, But all I remember from the first game is... Renegade cop killing stuff, being in a strange drug coma or dream stage that were really annoying... the second game was way better story wise.

Either way, I could like this movie, but I hate the casting.

Dude the first game was about him getting framed from the beginning and then goes on killing those who lead to a truth in his then life, which gets fucked up due to those corp. fuckers who are manufacturing drugs .

The drug sequence is like one level....

It's more like that segment of Sin City, where that huge dude is all crazy about that hooker, melody and then goes and kills that cannibal dude, and then the mayor .

The second was just plain out he wants to get it on with Mona and him trying to defend her from the russian dude .

I'm still pissed over the fact that it's Wahlberg.......

I remember loving the story of this game.  Especially the fucked up parts where you tripped out and relived the death of your little girl.  The story was kind of rubbish but for a video game, it was amazing.  This movie is gonna be total bullshit that has nothing to do with its original source material.  I will defiantly rent this though.  I know I'm gonna laugh when I envision Max Payne and then hear Marky Mark's labia-soft voice.
