We came back from watching "Max Payne" tonight. I was excited to see it, at first, because I like Mark Wahlberg, he's a good actor and he doesn't really pick any stupid movies. My cousin, however, informed me that it got bad reviews. I don't place a lot of faith in reviews, at least only if they're mediocre, it could go 50/50. Although, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" got good reviews and that was the only I've ever walked out on voluntarily (well, "Blair Witch" but that was because I was getting nauseous and at least I eventually went back in). I went in to watch it with a little apprehension, I had never played the game on the PS2, so I didn't come in with too many preconceived notions. All in all, it was OK, it wasn't bad, it wasn't great, it was OK. The plot took a bit of getting used to, I feel that they rushed the first part, the most important, the plot set up. You didn't feel a very good connection with the main character, I mean you don't always, but whether the main character is good or bad, you have to understand where they're coming from, I didn't feel that from the beginning. It wasn't until about the middle that the plot actually started getting involved, so by that time, a lot of people had already zoned out and it was hard to get their attention back.
