first and foremost and this movie be base on one of the most successful video game franchise in history . the game be wonderfully create and each one get good than the last . i be excite when i hear this movie be come out and because i be a fan of the game . i be unable to see it in the theater and so i have to rent it . it be a little upsetting to see freddie prinze jr and matthew lillard a maverick and maniac . i do not feel that these two be able to capture the true spirit of these character completely and although lillard be close . i would have prefer mark hamill and tom wilson in this movie to stay true to the game and who know the movie may have be more successful . at any rate and if anyone see this movie and have not play the game and please do not be harsh . the movie be surprisingly close to the game in most area . grant the technology be great in the game and but you can do more with that format . all in all this be a good movie with a very strong story and albeit subpar act at time and but good nonetheless . my challenge to anyone who have see and badmouth this movie be to compare this movie to every other movie base on a videogame . i be certain that this one will be in the top ten of anybody list .
