Max Payne movie trailer looks… really dark
BY Se Ajala Jul. 11th, 2008 More on:

Ahhhh… If the recent forays of quality comic book movies could be held as any indication of what we can expect out of their videogame movie counterparts in the future, then things would be looking good.  But as it stands, most videogame silver screen adaptations have been anything but stellar. That being said, check out the trailer for the upcoming Max Payne movie, starring everyone’s favorite pop star turned serious actor Mark Wahlberg.  He’s got the narrative voice dead on and it actually doesn’t look half bad. But then again, the Hitman trailer looked pretty good too.

I have a fond memory of Max Payne because it was one the first gifts that an ex-girlfriend got me for Xmas one year, and I played it to death way back when.  Hopefully, this movie won’t be as terrible as DOA but given the string of gaming flicks history, I’m not going to hold my breath.

      Doesn’t look half bad, though trailers can do that can’t they. It didn’t show much bullet-time, I wonder how that will be handled without it looking like a Matrix-movie rip-off. He has the voice nailed though.

      Man I played this game to death. If I got shot in a room, I’d just restart the room over and over and over until I had nailed it to bullet time perfection. Then I never played the second one…

      I really like the game, and the trailer looks really sweet. It doesn’t show much, but maybe thats a good thing. It seems really action packed, and the story should be really great. I’m definitely looking forward to this movie.
