I figured this would be the best place to put it. It doesn't look too bad. I'll check it out.

They just turned a perfectly good film noir storyline into an action movie. I am not going to see this movie.

The first half of the trailer looked promising, then... ugh.
I think it'd be really awesome if it were black & white with colour to emphasize things, a la Sin City.

Also, if Wahlberg isn't stumbling through the dark, following a trail of blood, and listening to his abducted child crying anywhere in this production, the screenplay writer will rue the day.

If the producers come up with a bullshit excuse along the lines of: "We could not translate the game to a movie, so we had to make some changes," I am going to be so fucking pissed off. The graphic novel sequences are the whole story, and Max narrates the story as it goes along. It has itself written down.

Iron Man followed the original comic book storyline almost exactly, and it was a good movie. When will movie producers learn to stop changing good storylines?

I never really thought of Mark W. when I thought of Max Payne, you know?

Mickey Rourke always came to mind.

This movie will be sick, I am a huge fan of Mark Walburg. I think that this will be a very good addaptation.

This movie looks flat out horrible. It is a real shame too --- the MP franchise has the best storyline of any game I have ever played. To be honest, it was more fun watching MP than actually playing.

This movie is going to suck. I don't think any further discussion is necessary anymore.

I'd like to see them rely on story, rather than action.

However, that ain't going to happen.

They are from the Norse mythology; they are the valkyres that are mentioned, not shown, in the game.

Hallucinations, I sure hope.

I just sure hope they don't include that dream sequence with the crying baby and the maze of blood.

God damn it.

Why can't Hollywood accept we want a GOOD video game to film? Its like they think since we play video games, we just want action, action, and more action!

At least Uwe Boll isn't directing it...

Then the movie would mosty be Max wondering around blackness falling over and over again to the sound of crying babies and women screaming. The end of the movie would be Max waking up in a pool of his own blood near a bat.

Which reminds me, will Captain Baseball-Bat Boy be in this movie?

That (incredibly awesome) sequence was in the second game.

And also, to the mention of the angel-type creatures being Valkyries is... not from the game. The game featured a drug called Valkyr, not actual Valkyries. It better be part of some form of either oh-no-i-lost-my-family-and-i'm-on-the-ed ge hallucination or a valkyr-induced one, or I won't be happy.

The wiki says that he'll have to battle enemies beyond the natural world.

Why? Can't we just have the nightmare sequences left intact?

Also, Ludacris is apparently casted as Jim Bravura. This is getting stupid.

Oh, no. The worst part of this mess is that I'll probably make myself watch this movie out of curiosity and leave the theater with a bad taste in my mouth.

Looks ok, nothing to exciting though, what the hell were those winged creatures though, I dont recall seing them in the game.

It would be cool if it had the nightmare scene with the maze and the blood and the baby it will be cool, but if not im not gonna watch it.

Pm me I may just make you a sig.

Again, they are valkyries. Go search for them on Google. They are refered to many times in the game but are never shown. Unfortunately, they will be shown in the movie.

That guy (form the trailer) looks too much like a pussy to be Max Payne. The role should have gone to someone less feminine, I don't need a total all-out badass, but this doesn't fit. Along with all the other things that are going to be wrong with the movie according to what you guys have said.

Could just be a metaphor for his inner demons a la the dream sequences in the game. Obviously having him face enemies that were from another world entirely wouldn't make sense and I don't expect there will be. I'm seeing it either way, and we'll see just how close to the game story it follows.

Exactly, they're just raping the name of Max Payne, and making money out of it at the same time. I don't think it's worth watching.

But I might go and see it just to know how much the fucked up.

The trailer makes the movie look awesome. I never finished the original Max Payne video game, because I didn't care to buy it and only ever installed the demo on my computer. It was pretty awesome though, so if they're altering the story-line beyond what most find acceptable, I suppose I can see why you guys'd be upset.

The winged creatures don't appear to be ACTUALLY there. Y'know? The cool slow-motion sequence where the man is being pushed/falling/being pulled out the window makes you suspicious that the creature is just conveniently there during the scene. It's later confirmed with the scene where an explosive shockwave causes the windows to shatter, but simultaneously you see one of those creatures flapping its wings and then disappearing before the falling glass.

Odds are, the creatures are hallucinations.

Anyway, I wanted to talk about this movie and consulted the search bar to do so. M3M's name made me bump this thread above all the others.
