well, the movie wasn't all that bad. Basically, If you're a gamer, you were'nt too let down. If you never played the games, you were pretty darn surprised. I think the movie was pretty darn good. You have to figure that not everyone who would go see this movie will have played the game, so making it exactly like the game would probably bring the ticket sales down. It would be a treat for the gamers, but if you make it too much like the game, then it wouldn't appeal to all other audiences and that would make the movie a flop at the box office. In my humble opinion, I believe you should watch the movie and try to imagine you never played the games. If you do this, you'll be very entertained, and might even throw a few more stars it's way, and as a gamer, if you chalk up the changes made to the story to hollywood trying to make it more appealing to a bigger audience, then you'll have fun at the movie.

heh heh heh, lookit me, I'm like roger ebert over here......
