Max Payne --- 0% on rottentomatoes...worst videogame movie ever?

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/max_payne/

wait until there is more review, even a pos like battlefield earth had 2 goods reviews lol...Franko_3

8 reviews later and it has a 0. Not a 5, not a 10, but a 0. No review will save this garbage.

Can't be worse than Mario or Street Fighter.

Also, Dragonball Z will probably be worse from that horrible looking trailer. But hey, I can't stand that **** anyways.

ha ha ha......oh.... :(

I'm going to see this with friends on Saturday regardless....

wow. I trust rottentomatoes a lot

Yes, I am a movie snob! :evil:

As good as a couple of its action beats are, Max still suffers from the heartlessness that makes games emotionally inferior to movies. Nobody ever shed a tear over a video-game character's death.

That's quite the ignorant comment..

This couldve been an amazing film, but they had to screw it up

Marky Mark is on a roll with terrible films...

Still, it's listed as having "no consensus". That means that there's not enough reviews up for the score to be taken seriously. I'm not saying that this is a good movie, I'm just saying that, as a major Hollywood release, it will have a few dozen reviews in the next week. Check back with RT on Wednesday for something approaching a final score.

Yup I noticed that to. Apparently he's been watching everyone play every game all the time.... :|

What a nob.

While I wouldn't be surprised if it sucked, everyone has their own opinion. With RT, while a good site, their reviews do ahve the occational "WTF?".Legendaryscmt

Que? They just gather reviews from all the other sources and newspapers.

The Happening and now Max Payne? How far you've fallen Marky Mark...:(BioShockOwnz

But yeah, it was bad beyond belief, seriously, what is happening:?

Don't hate on the Markster...go watch Boogie Nights and all shall be forgiven.

Agreed.

I was just about to mention that. I guess he's never played a good rpg.

I remember shedding a tear in FFIV when Palom and Porom sacrificed themselves for the party.

I was talking about the user stuff.

I dont see how hard it could be to make a decent watchable Max Payne movie. It has the most basic premise ever. Someone kills his family, he goes out for revenge.whocares4peace

And seriously, once a rapper is in the film, its going to suck, you cant take these guys seriously

i shed a tear close to the end on MGS 4

[spoiler] It was soo friggen amazing i shed tears of joy through the tunnel to the very end meet with Boss [/spoiler]

I think the fact that while leaping to the side while firing dual-wielded Desert Eagles may equate to awesomeness in a video game, it is one of the most mocked aspects of action films out there, and is now viewed as a parody in cinema now, rather than an awesome stunt.Verge_6

It's a sure path to failure.

The Happening and now Max Payne? How far you've fallen Marky Mark...:(BioShockOwnz

Oh wtf? I thought the movie was awesome! I didn't find anything wrong with it, and it really felt like Max Payne. I think it's a great movie, no matter what the snobby critics say.

Beat me to it.

I hate comments like that. Blanket generalizations like that just go to show how ignorant people are about gaming.

Oh, I'm just saying that the whole dual-wielding leap thing was only a small part of what is wrong with the film.

Yeah that is a good show.

The PG-13 rating killed it for me.no_handlebars

:lol: It's rated PG-13!? Holy hell, that is hilarious! I wonder how many parts of the game they had to cut out to achieve that rating.

I never got the impression you were disagreeing with me, just wanted to lay it out there that I thought there were far more things wrong with it than that.

Heh...PG-13...

Here's the thing.

They wanted that rating. :|

If you're going to make a Max Payne film, at least try to stay true to the source material. I'm not saying I want to see a bunch of bullet time and gun-kata either. Max Payne had a nice storyline to work with and some strong film noir overtones that could've been well portrayed on the silver screen...had the directorial staff had any clue what the hell they were dealing with...

1.Rotten tomatos is not a place to listen to, they aren't good critics they specifically go to films so as to make fun of those films.

2.its pretty much impossible to get a 0% on a 1-10, or 1-100 scale since you cant really COUNT a 0 0 means specifically nothing in most math for the most part.

3. im not defending the film ive not seen it but its just illogical is what im saying.

I really wonder if the directors of video game-based movies even PLAY the damned games they are making their movies about. It's like this one just saw some old trailers for it, saw the whole slow-mo side-leaping gunplay bits, and thought "Ah, so that's what the game's about...Mike, call 20th Century Fox! I gots an idea!".

lmao, like what 2? This and The Happening, also wait for more reviews.

This isn't the first time RottenTomatoes gave bad ratings to "good" movies.
