Anyone see silent hill?

umjammer atomsk · 04.24.2006, 08:38 AM

As to be expected it was trash. I hated it. Even as a stand alone film, it was terrible and pointless.

!@#$%! · 04.24.2006, 10:14 AM

hah, the only reason i would go see it is for radha mitchell
she is fucking hot
but movies based on video games?
haven't we learned our lesson yet?

seriously, clean your brain from shit movies and rent some cassavetes

i saw it. it was very good for a movie based on a game. it was creepy and atmospheric and the experience was very close to playing one of the games.

the ending was pretty poor, though.

umjammer atomsk · 04.24.2006, 05:26 PM

I'm a huge fan of the series and they're definitely the best survival horror games around, but the film was just a mess. As a game, silent hill is very atmospheric and filled with lots of neat little metaphors for why all of the craziness is occuring. The monsters are there for a reason, and signify parts of the character's personal psyche. In the film, they're just there from Alessa's nightmares as a tool for her revenge against those that abused her and killed her. And throwing in monsters from games other than 1 makes no sense. Actually the only creatures from 1 that appear are the insects and the demon children things.

The movie is nothing but a bunch of horror movie cliches, excessive violence and really terrible acting used to make a quick buck. And yes i know this is obvious, and i hope i don't sound like some stupid know-it-all fanboy.

Sorry, if no one cares.

It sucked...but I enjoyed it because I was with friends and we made fun of a lot of it. Like "Look at me! I'm burning!" We keep saying that. And what the hell was with that woman who practically got raped by the barbed wire and the she was ripped in half?! Haha we started busting up in the theater. But yeah the movie was trash. All the reasons have pretty much been stated already.

umjammer atomsk · 04.24.2006, 09:05 PM

On the way out of the theater i heard someone say, "The best part was when the barbed wire went up that lady's ass!"

val-holla-ing · 04.24.2006, 09:47 PM

ummjammer atomsk, is your username a play on the old playstation game "umjammer lammy"?

umjammer atomsk · 04.25.2006, 07:56 AM

Why, yes it is. I love that game.

fishmonkey · 04.25.2006, 08:17 AM

i'm not to gone on the games, they are kinda dopey, i remember, i think it was Silent hill 2 or something and you're going around with a fuckin stick with a nail thru it as a weapon, got very boring very quick, Residen Evil 4 on the gamecube,.pure class

umjammer atomsk · 04.25.2006, 11:18 AM

RE 4's gameplay is really fun but the game is really lacking because of the semi-neat scientific story and little memos and diaries that i liked to find and read in the rest of the main titles. Leon is a dip shit now too. And the cheesy dialogue can become really obnoxious. It's not really creepy at all either and i wish there were zombies.

fishmonkey · 04.25.2006, 11:27 AM

plus the young one in it is an annoying bitch going round screaming all the time, time "leon......LEON......." jaysus she fair wercked my head

Inhuman · 04.25.2006, 11:29 AM

The only movie based on a game that I actually liked was Final Fantasy, they put a lot into it. The game was much better though. There's nothing like playing FF3 on the SNES.

Yeah! I heard about that. FF7 was really good, I never ended up getting through the whole thing since I never had it for playstation and there's a bug in the computer ROM. FF3 was gold though, I'd play that game 5 hours a day.

you can actually download advent children w/subtitles and it's awesome!!!

samuel · 04.25.2006, 07:14 PM

Ew. My friend laughed the whole time. I didn't understand it and I thought it was stupid. What a waste.

umjammer atomsk · 04.25.2006, 07:43 PM

Advent Children is alright, but the whole thing has more style than substance. The story is super weak compared to the game's. The fight scenes are definitly pretty though, and the cg is state-of-the-art, but they totally ruined the soundtrack by adding metal guitar to beautiful peices like one winged angel. That really pissed me off. Oh, and Barret had cornrows and called Cloud a bitch.
