I'm guessing you never play GOOD games then. ICO, Shadow of Colossus. Metal Gear is probably the most known but it's story gets pretty silly at times (on purpose). Ahhh I love ignorance! It's not the source material's fault. It's the people trying to translate it to film and then changing everything that made the game so great. Silent Hill is the only movie that has retained much of how the game feels and looks and tried to stay with the story. But Silent Hill is such a confusing game that is purposely left very ambiguous so the player can make their own assertions. So I wasn't surprised at all when I read the reviews saying "I have no idea what this movie was about."

Video game movies are awkward as a genre that stands alone. Aren't there movies that spawned a video game after the movie too? I had Prince of Persia as a video game for a long time.

I would give him mid 20s from the looks of him. He sure isn't a child or a teen. But I also agree that its been too long to have to wait to see Gemma Arterton in middle eastern garb. Man that girl is sexy. Its truly a sad day when people think 28 is “too old”

My expectations dropped about a foot for that one. Aside from being waay too big and buff, and looking like an ass, Gyllenhaal is too old for the role.

It used to be that all super hero movies were just fluff and eyecandy and then someone upped that game too. We can always hope.

Let me count the ways... They should've gotten Oded Fehr if only for looks alone. And for a minute I thought that chick with Keanu was Mona Sax. How do I hate Jake Gyllenhaal as PoP?
