I finally saw this last night and I'm honestly quite divided on how I feel about it. On the one hand, the first half to two thirds of the movie was damn near perfect, the only downside being the stuff with the husband sort of killing the atmosphere and mood. The first chunk of the movie is exactly what any fan could hope for a Silent Hill movie to be. The problem for me was the later parts. For the most part, once they get to the church the first time they almost completely abandon everything that makes the games, and the first of the movie so cool. The cult was pretty lame as well. Had they followed the original game a little more closely in this regard, I think it would have held up much better. As it was, the story just became utterly boring near the end, and I really have to agree with Germ Hamee's take on it. I was also dissapointed with Pyramid Heads meager two appearances. Not much point in establishing him in the movie as an invincible bad ass only to toss him aside half way through.

On a final note, my biggest problem with the movie (and one that had me fighting back laughter near the end) (SPOILER)since when does hentai style tentacle rape belong in Silent Hill? I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh at it because I saw it coming a mile away.

Anyway, I would, and probably will see the movie again. Most of it was exactly what I wanted and now that I've had a day or so to think about it, I've mostly forgiven some of the stuff that almost ruined the last half entirely for me while watching it. I don't think I'll ever like the last 15 minutes or so though. When I buy it on DVD eventually I'll probably just stop it before it gets bad. Kind of like how I love the movie AI, but I can never stand watching the god aweful ending.
