I made it about 40 minutes before giving up. It's not really a movie in the way we understand movies to be. It might be something else altogether, in which case it should be judged on those merits. But until that kind of film exists as a genre (and I believe it will), I can only judge it as a movie, and as a movie, it was absolutely awful. From the moment the mother gunned the car to outrun the cop, I was rolling my eyes. Watching a character run around randomly fighting bad guys is not fun to me, which is why these games bore me. It's one dimensional and flat. The upside? The visuals are fun. The bad guys are neat-o cool-o to look at, in the way small children enjoy ugly insects. That's about it. The huge number of reviews here and the high score must be a reflection of the enthusiasm of the game's fans because I don't believe movie fans would enjoy Silent Hill.
