quick name a great movie based on video game

Rating: 2/10 (29 April 2006)

If you're stumped, don't worry it was a trick question. The answer is there are none. Sadly that trend doesn't stop with this wretched excuse for a game. First of all, if you haven't even played the games, don't go see this film. The two mediums are strongly interwoven (more so than any other previous film of this kind that I saw before) and you WILL be lost. Fortunately I have played said games, so that wasn't an issue for me. But the excruciating dialog, the lame acting, the lulls in the film (at more than 2 hours, you'll be glancing at your watch countless times), and the waste of the one talented actor of the bunch, Sean Bean, were a big issue for me. The excellent "Brotherhood of the Wolf" this is definitely not. My friend Dave, who drug me to this piece of excrement, however loved the film. But to put that in perspective, he also loved both Underworld movies, Daredevil, the Hulk, Ready to Rumble, and Van Helsing (to name but a few) So needless to say, his kudos are suspect to say the least.
