I thought the VG was visually cool…so this has more potential than say any other regular VG. I didn’t really like the plot of the first one and i never really played the sequel, so i hope its a new story.

My question is, what really makes this game worth being made into a movie? All it is is a revenge story. A guy’s wife and kid(s) are killed and he goes into vigilante mode. Haven’t we seen this enough times already? We’ve already got The Punisher (both versions), Death Sentence, and Death Wish (which is being remade as well) among many others. Having played the Max Payne games, I really don’t see the draw behind this particular story becoming a film. The only interesting or different aspect the game had was the bullet time mode, but are they going to incorporate that into the film? And even if they do, isn’t that sort of effect getting a little old by now as well? I just don’t see why this is any more promising than any other revenge project out there. I, for one, am not particularly excited about this.

This could be incredible…although after Sin City I was hoping for Clive Owen to do this role.

This would be perfect for John Woo to direct. If he did it, we might even get Nicolas Cage as an over-the-top villain, getting his tongue sucked and singing rock songs during gunfights, which would be awesome.
