Good visuals, but horrible dialog....

Rating: 5/10 (22 April 2006)

This movie had potential, but a ridiculous script in certain scenes made the audience laugh, when that obviously wasn't the desired affect. The acting was spotty at times, but it was serviceable for the most part. With the dialog they were given, even Deniro couldn't carry off some of the lines. The cinematography was spectacular, and this was most certainly the highlight of the film. The creatures were pretty well crafted, and they did bring some chills along the way. I will agree that this movie is one of the best video game to movie transfers, but really now, is that saying all that much? If you like the game, I'd venture to say you'll like the movie. But the plot is comic book-esquire to say the least, and I found myself looking at my watch throughout the movie. It's not a horrible movie, but it's terribly flawed in some ways, and if I had it to do all over again, I'd save my money and maybe just rent it instead.
