Weekly Movie Review: Silent Hill

[Mister Tea]

The thing that bugged me was that they used the first game's plot, but did it so half-assed that they can never do a film adaptation of Silent Hill 3; and that one would make a great movie. Changing Dahlia's character into a "good guy" just to take a cheap shot at Christianity was also pretty weak; play the games to know what I'm talking about. It seems that gamers will never have it both ways, they'll either get the plot right and change the look (Mortal Kombat), keep the look and totally change the plot (Silent Hill), or just mess up both of 'em (all the rest).

Luckily, Silent Hill 2 is a completely self-contained storyline (I know about part 4, but it's so tangentially related to 2 that it doesn't matter), so they can make changes to that one if they have to without messing up any established continuity. Pity about casting Sean Bean in the first one, though, because he'd have made a great James Sunderland.
