Hey guys, ive decided to start doing reviews on movies if i catch them while they are still in the box office.
I wont spoil anything from the movies i review, just give my opinion.
<br>
<br>
I give 1 outa 5 stars.
Directing
The flaws of this movie were very easy to see, and very frustrating. The story trys to follow the video game and amazingly enough, they couldnt even do that!! They had a story already written out for them, they added things here and there, they took some things off and they explained nothing.
Actors
Interestingly enough it wasnt very easy to see in the trailer, but Mark Wahlberg stars in the lead role playing Max Payne,
a father who may or may not have lost a baby (movie didnt explain), but def lost a wife and just wants to kill everyone that killed her.
Late in the movie, the cutie we all know from "That 70s Show" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", Mila Kunis.
She trys to play some bad ass Russian mafia ring leader killer lady, but you just cant beleive it.. shes 2 hot, 2 cute, and every time the russian accent falls a bit, her whiny girlfriend type voice comes right through to remind you that she shouldnt be there.
Last superstar in the movie is an Internal Investigations agent who clashes hard with Max in the movie, and trys to be very serious about it. Who else could you cast for this role besides LLLUUUUUDDDAAA!!!!
Nothing this character says fits the role..
Wrapup
This movie had many good actors, but none of them should have been in the roles they were.. Mark just doesnt fit the part. Mila REALLY doesnt fit into her part at all and Luda playing a COP?? Please?
All the lines seemed forced and i just kept thinking, "these actors are better then this" but never got a chance to see it..
The movie was a terrible mix of 4 different things, 3 movies and 1 video game.
#1 Max Payne, they didnt explain the story line from the game enough, and they got far off the game line with their own ideas. Bullet time was one of the best parts about the game, but they didnt explain why he was able to go into bullet time and they only used it about twice out of the maybe 15 gun battles..
#2 Sin City, they tried to pull this artistic snowy big city with very contrasting colors, but failed.. you could look maybe once or twice and think it looks cool enough, but it had no art feeling to it, so the cheesy parts had no excuse.
#3 Constantine, Max Payne constantly was reminding everyone of the Constantine daemons and raining firey hell through earth, but the movie didnt explain why, and i really have no idea wtf was going on, besides them ripping off a few cool special effects and ideas from Constantine.
#4 Die Hard, Max is the only guy working to fight the evil villains, and he gets shot alot but keeps on walkin. But Mark cant pull it off nearly as well as Bruce.
Official Trailer
Downloadability
cool word i just made up, whenever i do this im going to rate how much of the movie would be lost if you downloaded it rather then seeing it in the theator.
10/10 - Duno if it was the theator i was in or the movie released badly, but there was some sound fuckups. There were no special effects that were anything special. Id say download this every time, never waste your money to check this movie out. Id even download a camd version.

Its hard to make a easy buck legally, its impossible to make a easy buck morally.

I like Marky mark, but as soon as I saw him as the lead in the trailer I immediately knew it would be weak. Mark can do the action hero, but he's always the nice guy action hero. I mean he's always frowning, and from a distance you'd think he was going to kick your ass. But Wahlberg is just too cool and collected for these hero on a rampage roles. He did great in Sniper, but there was a certain level of honor and passivity to how he did it. Clive Owen would be much better suited to this role (Shoot Em Up), Thomas Jane from Punisher, Hugh Jackman, etc etc. These guys can pull off the raspy brow beaten pissed off guy. Plus Mark is just too short to be cool dressed up in a trenchcoat.
I also knew this movie would bomb as soon as I saw the PG-13 rating, written in scary RED lettering, ooooohhhhh. Cmon, everyone knows pg-13 action movies are just watered down kiddy crap that could have been a pimp ass R-rated feature.

i was hoping it would be a good move... shooter was a sick movie with marky mark but it wasnt really that good... i wont be renting it or buying it when it comes out thats for sure.
when i was watching it in the theatres it was a pretty young crowd and a couple of serious parts in the movie people were laughing at them and it totally ruined it lol. when luda came on people were just laughing at the fact that he was playing a cop lol. even i was.

LOL at throwing luda into the movie
Lol yea, dont you hate it when they add random rappers to movies that could be good. Just like "Righteous Kill" with Al Pacino & Robert De Niro, you'd expect that to be an awesome movie....then they add fifty cent to it. -.-
I dont know what a dt drop is. Is it a wrestling move? -Oly
