I'd say it was average. I didn't want to watch it, but I ended up with it so I watched it.

I got into it, but I wouldn't watch it a second time.

I really liked it, for me it is the first movie to really stay true to a game albeit in a slightly wierd style.

Also loved Pyramid Head's appearence :D

I thought it was pretty good.....I agree with the length issue though....I remember the good ole days when movies where 60 minutes or less..oh wait, No I dont....but seriously, why are nearly all new movies 2 hours +?

Personally i dont mind 2 hour movies as its good value for money :D

I was pleasantly surprised with the film, it was far better and more interesting than I expected, despite many shortcomings. I loved the visual and gloomy aesthetics, the mood in many shots (mother and daughter beneath the tree for example) and parts of the soundtrack - the intro give me the chills from my memories of playing the first game.

Despite the incongruous appearance of certain characters - the ridiculous mountain of flesh with the over-sized butcher (read ....phallus) knife for example. What game does he feature in? Can someone tell me? Found it a little odd that he just disappeared after the familiar religious fanaticism theme started to dominate the plot.

I also found it quite fascinating that for the most part the film was focused upon female characters, doubles and the nature of their relationships. Every male character that featured was proven ineffective by their actions or had failed in some way. Made for an interesting dynamic I thought. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Not to sure if I want to watch this. Maybe I will pick it up for night shift. ;)

I'd recommend it dude although that is if you were a fan of the original game :D

Pyramid Head, as he's commonly referred to as, first appeared in Silent Hill 2.
