Its hard for games to movies to be exact becuase film makers need to find away to appeal to the masses. This usually means adding a side story, like love for instance. Silent Hill was mostly right, but they aded a few elements from each one to spice it up. There is a Silent Hill 2 on the way and im not sure what they are going to do with that one.
Actually Silet Hill was decent, but it is hard to explain. Playing Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2, there was a.....mood that was set. Hard to explain. I remember playing Silent Hill 2 in the dark, all the lights off with my surround sound blasting and remember getting spooked to the point that I stopped playing. And the movie didnt do that for me.
I feel you on hollywood having to add shit to spice it up, but sometimes that shit doesnt translate that well to the big screen. Resident Evil is a game that would translate well. But they fuked it up. i will no douby watch the third one since I have the other two so I want to see the progression of the story, but they fucked it up.
Like the Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 had a purpose. You had a background on the S.T.A.R.S. unit and Umbrella, so you can see WHY he is walking around saying "STARS" and trying to kill members of that unit. In Apocolyspe, the Nemesis and his mission from the game felt thrown in. That whole "love" shit. Hell you can argue that Alice even being in the movie fucked it up from jump snce she was never in the games. They could have started with chris and jill and still could have had a good movie. Or if you want to take the Alice route and her being an Umbrella employee, you can use Hunk instead.
