Very Boring

Rating: 4/10 (6 May 2006)

The only way I could actually see anyone going to see this movie is if they actually enjoyed playing the video games...and even then they will be severely disappointed with the outcome.
Silent Hill is a dull, and very vague, attempt at a sci-fi movie...there are no mind blowing special effects nor are there any truly "bone chilling" moments. Upon seeing the trailer, I thought that maybe, just maybe, Silent Hill may have a chance to eclipse the quality of the video games and even perhaps be among the top sci-fi movies to date...boy was i wrong...
The movie is soooooo slooooow...nothing scary or thrilling happens for the first 25-35 min...and even then...i was like "wtf". The acting is basically the only major upside to this dull film...the setting of the movie seems to be way too vast and vague to even be considered scary....again there are some cool parts in the movie, but I believe that this movie is severely disappointing for all those die hard silent hill fans.
Positives: good acting, some cool special effects, nice boss (huge guy with sword)
Negatives: no action within the first 25-35 min, special effects are not as "special" or "mind blowing" as they could have or should have been, and the ending of the movie was really retarded
