   hitman movie
  I don't usually watch movies derived from video games. I wonder if the hitman movie will be any good.1) they didn't get a guy who looks like agent 47.2) They replaced his 1911's with Glocks. WTF3) The trailer shows lots of explosions. That was definitely not the best way to play the game... The only way they could make me want to watch it is if they do a remake of that level where your trapped in a hotel and the French police are after you. getting out without killing anybody but your target was a real tough one.   
  Don't forget the inclusion of a love story where Agent 47 starts notice some "unfamiliar emotions" when he meets a mysterious women.;  I think the trailer looks alright. The games are awesome, so I hope they don't let me down with the movie.Of course there are going to be lots of explosions. This is hollywood, there needs to be explosions for a hollywood action movie to be successful LOL.Knowing the trend of movies based off of video games, it will probably let me down. I hope not though, I love the games.BTW: I'm more interested in how the Wolfenstein movie will be when it's done.   ;Quote:Original post by cemediasI think the trailer looks alright.

The best way to kill your target was always to poison them, and some kind of poison was always available on every level. I remember one level, though, where you could drop a Jerrycan of petrol down a chimney onto the fire and toast your target, but that would mean you had to fight your way out.;Quote:Original post by shotgunnutterQuote:Original post by cemediasI think the trailer looks alright.

They're goal is to make money by making the movie appealing to everyone, whether they played the game or not.   ;Quote:Original post by cemediasYeah, it would be awesome if they would make it like the game like this, but they probably won't.

This is pretty much what they do to all movies stemmed from games. It is all about the money you know. Screw the fans.Although in this case I will note that the game's gameplay doesn't lend itself to an awesome action movie with all the sneaking around you usually do. Yes, you have the option of going around killing everyone and blowing stuff up (just like Deus Ex) but that's not the best way to play the game (I prefer sneaking in Deus Ex way more than blowing stuff up). Unfortunately the blowing stuff up method is the way for Hollywood to best play the game.For example, it's easier for games FPS games like Halo to transition to an action flick. Although Doom (from what I've heard) wasn't exactly a bravo moment in movie making history.   ;  loved the last game but i think this movie is going to blow. I'm not hopeful for MGS (2009) either but who knows.   ;  We saw the trailer not knowing it was based on a video game, and it looked like the biggest load of crap for ages. And I like mindless action films. How can you not cringe at the trailer "a man bred from the worst criminals ... by a secret order of the Church ... to kill people"? Come on, it's like every cliché rolled into one.If you're going to make a dumb action movie then really, don't try and pretend it has a plot. If I wanted a lame pseduo-religious action film, I'd go watch End of Days again.The only film from a video game with any credibility I can think of is Tomb Raider, where they just stole the character rather than the plot from the game.   ;  from the trailer it looks like a bad movie. The guy looks really stupid and gay-ful. As far as I remember, hitman had a very glacial look.   ;Quote:Original post by owlfrom the trailer it looks like a bad movie.
