Not so Silent Hill

Well the film did dissapoint me. I was hoping it wouldn't but just like all other films made from games, it sucked. The plot was loose and from the start deviated from the game. The game has Harry Mason's wife dead 4 years previous to the start of the game, and he is persuaded by his daughter (Cheryl) to go to Silent Hill. The film has his wife alive and takes her daughter (strangely called Sharon), to Silent Hill and it the protagonist of the story. Why, oh the fuck why can't they leave the story alone and make a film of the game so accurate. This was so unaccurate it nearly shouldn't have been called Silent Hill. Fuck you shitty film makers, again you fail at making a game derived film. You suck, as much as these films;

Doom3
Resident Evil 1 & 2
Tomb Raider 1 & 2
Mortal Kombat
Street Fighter The Movie
Mario Brothers

All utter dog wank films based off games with a story so changed and rewritten from what made them great games. (Final Fantasy is not included as it is not a film based off a game, they just used the same name). The only game based film that works is Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and you know why? Because they didn't rewrite fuck all, they kept to the original story and made it work. And thus in the process they created the best film ever fucking made.

I have read about Halo and Half-Life being turned into movies. Not sure how true them stories are but I bet they suck if they're made because they won't be faithful to the game's story.

End rant
