Max Payne

I haven't seen max payne yet, but as for hitman, I have to say I couldnt' stand that movie...everything made me laugh, and I don't think it was meant to. I felt like a lot of parts of it were like if bourne identity had been handled poorly in every aspect (acting, directing, script...) Maybe if I liked the game I would have been more Into it... lord knows I've liked some laughable movies based on video games. I liked the first mortal kombat movie, but I was really into that game...and 15 at the time, haha. Even though it was corny, I remember it being considered one of the movies most true to the game at the time.

Watched Max Payne in BD last night. I've got to say they captured much of the feel with excellent cinematography and the look of the snow fall/lighting and seedy interior shots. Even some of the action resembled gameplay elements. The sound was very good. Had my cats jumping during some of the hallucinagenic LFE moments after Max took the blue pill (vials). Made the walls groan. That said, the script was subpar, the acting from some characters (that 70s show chick) barely passable, from others fairly decent. There were some very weak passages in trying to keep the story together. All in all, I tilted more toward enjoying it than not, but it was close.

Hitman, on the other hand was a blast. Pure popcorn with lots of butter. Never played the game, unlike MP, but I enjoyed the movie without knowing the game backstory.

I watched this Sat. night, and I gave them 40 min.'s to 'get' me, and they failed.
I never played the game, so maybe that makes the difference?
Although...... I never played 'Hitman', and I loved it.

Very good movie, "She" did get killed to early in the movie, very cute chick by the way. Overall BD had great SQ/PQ, would watch it again. Good movie.

I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, but i also loved the games if that makes any difference.
I'm not a highly critical movie watcher though, i like to get sucked into the movies i watch and i'll usually give it my full attention, unless of course it's just utterly horrible.

this movie did have some great audio and video quality on blu-ray.

I bought it, and watched it, and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to a second viewing.

I just saw this last night on Blu Rqy and it was pretty bad but it looked and sounded great.
