Hello everyone. I've just seen Silent Hill the Movie. I've kept an eye on this movie since it came out in the US. The reviews I've been reading were incredibly varied ranging from those that called it a master piece to those that despised it.
Personally, I remember Silent Hill 1 as one of the best games I've ever played. The second and third were quiet good too, but the first was great. I've lost my faith on the games-movies adpatations long ago, but after reading the movie was mostly based on the first episode I regained some hope.
Well, now I've seen it and I'm... quiet pissed. The first half was great. I can't say it was scary at all, but It certainly captured the ambience of the game perfectly and the details taken directly from the game made me smile several times. But then... oh my... they certainly messed it. I can't see the point in changing the story to that extent contradicting the game so directly.
Anyway, that's just my opinion. I'd like to see what those of you who have seen it thought about it.
