LOVE the games... HATED the movie..question authenticity of other GLOWING reviews

Rating: 2/10 (21 April 2006)

Won tickets to a sneak peek last night in Toronto.
Before I went, I checked the user comments here on IMDb and found a lot of glowing / positive reviews so was actually getting pretty excited about seeing the movie (I have played and finished Silent Hil 1, 2 & 3 and am well versed on the mythos).
+ The visuals and the music (a lot from the SH3 soundtrack) were excellent. - The acting was absolutely DREADFUL.. - Some of the serious lines had the audience laughing very hard ("I think there was a fire here" was the classic 'bad line') - Story was simply dreadful - the ending scene with our heroine in the church giving her 'speech' was eye rollingly awful. - movie was way too long (2 hours..s/b 1.5 hours)
OK, I think you get the picture.
I honestly question the authenticity of the earlier glowing reviews. Seriously...the acting was bad, bad, bad...not like good bad or bad you can overlook however BAD. As well, this movie was not screened for the weekend reviews, which in itself should tell you something.
Please, take your money and buy a copy of Silent Hill (anyone of them)...DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE...yes it is that bad!
