I think more ppl won’t go see it if it’s pg-13 rated. If they keep it to the theme of the game ppl will go.

Definitely needs to be R rated…considering the storyline and the tone

Omg this is such b.s. PG-13 rating…This is going to be another cash grab by some hollywood shit heads whom most certainly never even heard of the name MAX PAYNE until this dipshit director came to them with the script. This movie should have an X-rating for violence scrap the R-rating. It should cater and give the audience…us the true die hard max gamers the intensity, action, die hard, blood and guts storyline the game gave us. I could care less if they didn’t let some pimply, pre-pubescent, loudmouth dick and his bimbo g/f get in the movie. The movie should not be watered down or remotely hopeful. It should be about “A man with nothing to lose!”

@Jojo
Doom was way better than Hitman, Hitman sucked cuz of the main actor Timothy Olyphant.

I think its a smart move for Wahlberg to play Max Payne, cuz the game is one of the most serious games with an amazing narrative and one-liners that I hope they use in the movie. But it’s sad that it’s gonna be PG-13, Hitman should’ve been PG-13 while Max Payne should get an R-rating.

One of my fav. lines in the game “I don’t know about angels, but fear gives men wings”

As long as Wahlberg doesn’t make that stupid face that was constantly plastered to Max Payne’s head in the video game, I’ll go see it. That’s my only real concern.

If you don’t remember, look at it:

Uh, when was anyone’s hopes up for this film?

Please, for the love of god someone name a good game-adaptation.

Mark Whalberg looks like he was running out of filet mignon and needed a few coins and papers. The midget from That 70’s Show is a joke. This movie is a joke, the writer is a joke. And PG-13?

Fuck that in the ass.

I’ve played both Max Payne games a lot and they are great.
The movie will suck if it’s rated PG-13, it would not work, because the movie has to be dark as hell. The audience has to feel all those sick stuff that is going on in the game. The nightmares Max has wouldn’t work with a PG-13 rating. no way!

We don’t want a some pissed of dude running around with dual Berettas doing some ugly matrix-wannabe moves, dropping One-liners like Schwarzenegger.

Give us that sick, bizzare and scary world they have in the games, make people CRY!
I want to FEEL fucking depressed when i watch this movie!

@ Ghost

Yeah, the hallucination level(s) were epic. That is one reason why I was anticipating the film. PG-13 dead baby scenes won’t cut the mustard.

Remember that one good video game adaptation that they made? Oh, what’s that? There wasn’t one. Sorry.

It’s PG-13 because they want to make more money. It’s that simple. A movie like this will make considerably more, both here and overseas, with a more easygoing rating.

And remember Max had those trippy hallucination scenes?! blood stained house with dead baby and all that? Man I almost assume this movie will suck now…

Marky Mark: Most overrated actor of all time? Completely unchararismatic and just plain dull. He was good in the Departed because he was just playing a wittier version of himself.

sorry man, but the reason hitman did poorly was because hitman sucked. calling it the best video game adaption doesn’t mean much with the competition it has. i think if 300 has shown us anything it is that ratings don’t matter so much when movies are actually good as opposed to garbage. i really liked max payne, both in terms of gameplay and great atmospherics, but it was a derivative of hard-boiled detective movies, so it is funny that it is being converted back into a movie. the style doesn’t really break any new movie ground, although it broke new gaming ground.

@ Jojo

I’d argue that Max Payne is a better known title/character than Hitman, and Mark Wahlberg is obviously a more famous actor than Timothy Olyphant. The box office potential for Max Payne, if rated R, would be far greater than Xavier Gans’s video game adaptation.
