Silent Hill

In this persuasive piece of writing, Roger Ebert rips into the film Silent Hill. The film is based off of a popular video game. While many video game enthusiasts were overjoyed at the outcome of the film many were not happy with the film. Ebert thought that the film had too much talking and too much background information to succeed. He thought that the film didn't cause any of his synapses to fire. Ebert also had some qualms with the actors or actresses that were in the film.
There were some parts of this film that he enjoyed, mostly the special effects. He also praises the director of the film for using many different things to modify the film in order to make it seem more like an art film than a major studio production.
