Just wondering if anybody knows anything about this. I personally know very little about the Max Payne universe, but from what I've seen, this movie is going to be about as far from the source material as a movie can possibly get, except for the Super Mario Bros. movie (which I actually kind of liked once I started pretending it wasn't based in any way on the videogames).

Ever.

Those are Valkyrie in the trailer right? picking up the dead guys after the shootouts?
Anyone know if they are there in a metaphorical sense, or did the directors take the games references to mythology too far?

I don't get it- why don't game movies ever just follow the storyline of the game? I mean, in Max Pain's case, the story wasn't actually that terrible, and even the parts that were are made up for by gratuitous bullet time. SO why the hell can't they just use that formula?
game = story + bullet time
story < good, substitute for 2 x bullet time

Grigori, I think that after watching this movie your eyes will feel a severe stabbing payne.
Also how is your trenchcape doing... it seems to be expanding into something similar with a coat.

Hey, that's what made the game awesome. It may be trenchy as hell, but it wouldn't be Max Payne without it.

Don't diss bullet time, dude. It's a proven fact that slow-motion makes everything better. Bullet time just takes that to the next logical step: slow-mo in shootouts. ... did i miss something? Go find a trailer for the movie on YouTube. ...Wait, on second thought, don't. I want to spare you the agony, at least for a while.

I cant. Youtube is blocked by the school networks...
...except for the scary one you guys linked me to earlier with the terrifying polygon clowns... *shudders* Weird.
Ill check it latarz. Is it really that bad, though? Its not a Ewe Boll production, is it? I didnt even know they were making a Max Payne movie...

Anyway, I dug out my old copy of it and installed it.
For a 2001 game, dang good graphics.
Anyone know how to beat Part 2 Chapter 1?

Isnt that the one where you pertub the angry sloth with the alarmingly large dildo? Heh. Cant help you there, dude. Max Payne allways reminded me of an overly moody, indoors version of GTA, so all I did was do the weapons cheat a zillion times and run amock with a Jackhammer. I may have missed the plot somewhat. Though i was vaguley aware that his family died and now everyone's huffed up on that weird V drug that makes them use Zombie attack patterns. Whats up with that? ....maybe i should play it again now im not, you know, 13 xD
