Last night I watched Max Payne.  There's nothing "so bad it's good" about that.  It's just 95 minutes of torture-by-boredom.

I couldnt sit through max pain

Yes, I, lover of dumb and bad films thought it was too dumb and bad.

Saw Highlander Endgame the other day. Now THATS what I call a good bad film! I immensly enjoyed hating every second of it

generally speaking i just refuse to watch films based on computer games. And refuse to play computer games based on films. They're just cash-ins and generally suck. I haven't seen the max payne film (though the fact it stars mark wahlberg is hardly a good sign), but the game was good.

They're good rules! I watch films based on games, but I've never liked any. I've never played a game based on a film. They all look balls.

I guess I've seen quite a few films based on computer games, but I don't know the games so I don't have any preconceptions.

I like the Resident Evil films - there you go, some cheesy rubbish I did enjoy! - but the presence of Milla Jovovich helps.

I had high hopes for Silent Hill, but it was a little disappointing.

The rest were all rubbish, as far as I can remember (is Hitman a computer game?).

Oh, wait, I like resident evil and hitman.

Yes, hitman was a game.

I thought Hitman was terrible - it was exactly like a humourless version of Transporter 3, which wasn't much good in the first place....

which leads me to another rule, avoid all films with jason statham (exception: chaos theory? something like that... ryan phillipe was in it, it wasn't bad).

I quite like Jason Statham, to be honest!  He's not a great actor but he's got a little spark of personality/humour that raises him way above most action-movie stars.

He doesn't come across like he's in love with himself or thinks he's doing something profound (very unlike, say, Seagal or JCVD).

We're just never going to agree on films! The avp films, transformers, hitman

I could do with a couple of new films to watch: what do you really hate? :lol:

I'll have a think - any particular genre?  Foreign films OK?

Explosions and a cheesy script are requirements!

Escape from LA is just like a really bad remake of Escape From New York.

But I love EFNY - you'll hate it.  :lol:
