Because vin diesel is an 'action hero', something wich #47 is not at all. They'd have car chases in the movie, together with amazing big shootouts and whatnot...
I could not care less about Vin Diesel, but if they would have used him to rape one of the greatest game characters ever i want him burning on a stake.

I really love the hitman series, ive got all games and played through them whole several times, and still i dont have the feeling ive played every mission in every way there is possible.
Wich is exactly why im not looking forward to the Hitman film: the games are about your own input, YOUR plan of action. In the movie everything will be decided for you.
And, 47 is emotionless (he only shudders when a chinese hooker kisses him on the mouth because you freed her in Hitman 1, and his annoyances with the FBI agent wich gets himself captured pretty much every game hehehe. BloodMoney: YOU! i should have figured *sigh*) and does not talk much at all, wich ofcourse doesnt relate to movies very well either. It rocks for the games, since you want to feel the emotionless killer, you ARE him.

Yup. Looks God-awful, and(to me) signals that the rest of the movie will be crappy too. Also, isnt there a continuity problem, since the Joker was "created" in the first Batman movie? Still think Diesel is the best guy for the Hitman movie out of the names mentioned(and interested).

New trailer released.

Looks pretty cool actually.

Ugh. 47 should be gaunt, stern. That guy looks like he got out of boot camp yesterday.

I don't know. the more I see of it, the better I like tim oliphaunt in that role. definately better than vin diesel.

The trailers suck balls! utter, utter, utter balls!
"raised by a secretive side of the church" my ***! He's a clone from a lab, bred for nothing but killing on order, raised through his organisation!
And why the F*ck is he explaining who he is to a woman? There flies the urban legend, out the window! Why is he an urban legend? Cause no one even knows for sure he exists! You can even see him kill a postman who delivers him a letter in Blood Money! And yet, there he is explaining himself to a woman, thinking with this dick? NOT HITMAN! The only woman who knows who #47 is, is Diana from the Agency, and not even from real life!
And why is he pointing two directions with his gun every other scene? Action Man, biggest hero of them all?

Even without Vin Diesel they manage to **** the series up, and ive played through them all! NOTHING you see Hitman do in this trailer alone allready, has he ever done in ANY game!
This pisses me off to no end!

"To rid the world of all evil that infects it" my fecking ***! He just kills the targets he gets assigned by the Agency, who get their list of targets through people that want others dead! If those happen to be bad guys, so be it, but that is not why the Agency kills people. It's just a business, not some sort of 'Holy mission'!

Video games can have plots where people kill without moral obligations.

Movies bring a video game to the forefront of public attention. Parents of players and religious organizations and politicians will see it and judge the game's worth on it.

Do you want cities and counties to outlaw the video game like what happened to Grand Theft Auto, or do you want to fudge the plot a little to make it acceptable? He's a hitman, sure... But he kills evil doers.

Although I guess to hurt my own argument - GTA being outlawed in certain areas and chains refusing to carry the title hasn't done anything to hurt sales of GTA overall, has it?

About the woman - movies must have sex. Period. When was the last time you saw even a children's Disney movie without some?

and what about this asian prostitute he saves two times (H2 & HC, probably in the first one too since HC is a replay of it) and that kisses him?

SHE is doing that, not HIM. And he sure as **** isnt inviting her either.
He rescues her to get more info on an objective, and she wants to thank him with a little more then just info, lol.
But he is NOT inviting it, SHE does it, and HE shudders.

Very simple. Then DONT make a movie about #47, cause there is really no story to it!
All your arguements dont make it allright for them to rape the hitman experience.
Movie could be ok but just dont call it Hitman cause its not worthy!
All the things that are done in the movie, would never be done by #47, and as such they should not be done in the movie, or they will ruin the entire feeling and experience for fans.

It's like making Red Orchestra The Movie, but to make it more popular they make it on Omaha beach and the western front instead of the eastern.
Someone should steal the movie reel when it is finished and burn it before it gets published in movie theatres etc!

Well, see it like that: 47's a man and a man has needs

His need is to stay alive and therefor unknown. Going around and ****ing every whore and telling them his lifestory is not the way.

In the game you are given the choice to be a true Silent Assassin or a raving maniac. Who are you to tell others how 47 should be.

I think the movie will be good, I just wished they picked a different actor.

You know damn well that Hitman was not made with the action style in mind.
You are not given the choice of maniac or silent assassin, its a rating for your playing, nothing more.
This does not promote maniac-style playing.
The game was made with stealth in mind.

If it wasnt in mind to go balls to the wall why do they rate you as such? I can rape an entire level and live, if I tried that in Splinter Cell or Rainbow 6 I would lose.

The game promotes stealth and action to those who want it. Also you dont even know how the movie is gonna be, of course the trailer is gonna promote all the most intenese action scenes. When I saw the V for Vendetta trailer I thought it was another stupid comic book movie, but actually watching the movie gave me a completely different outlook.

And just because you are a fanboy doesn't mean you should ruin other peoples expierence of something.

But that is exactly what they are doing to me, right now with that stupid movie

Whether or not the arguments make it alright to rape the hitman experience in your opinion is inconsequential.

The owners of hitman as well as the hollywood studio, all those with money, and everyone in between obviously feel it is quite alright.

Do you think the original developer of hitman is upset about this new direction? He had dollar signs in his eyes when it was first made and has dollar signs in his eyes now.

Sounds like another example of boy meets world. Yes nearly everything you love is a money-loving whore festival and thats the way it will always be. (Yes even your girl only loves the way you make her feel.)

If you are upset that a video game is being bastardized, imagine how true christian believers and life long bible followers felt about Mel Gibsons last big flick. That is.... after they paid 9 bucks a head to see it.

No, that is not the case. I know how this stuff works, lol. Doesnt mean i have to agree with it, like you obviously are.

I've just watched the Hitman movie, and TBH, it's no where near as bad as I'd thought it would be. Olyphant does quite a good job of acting 47 (some of his lines are crap, but overall it was a good performance IMO), and his baby face has gone. The woman in the trailer and 47's relationship with her isn't too far from the game 47 and the women he saves, apart from the part at the end. The violent parts are a decent balance of action and stealth, but the action parts are quite OTT. The entire train knife fight scene was abso-****ing-lutely bollocks, completely came out of nowhere and had no bearing on the rest of the film. However, as a movie it's nothing spectacular, it probably won't please action fans and it definitely won't please Hitman purists. It's the Kane and Lynch of film, good premise and mediocre execution.

3/5

Agree with the most of it.

BUT Olyphant's baby face and voice are quite irritating compared to the game's 47. In the close-up scene his face is quite not credible though in the theatrical shots like when he meets with the ruskie's brother in that dark room with the hoes it's almost a picture perfect artwork from the first game in the series. He needs to STFU though, he talks way too much and it's not the usual 47 kickass punchlines more like cheesy lines.

The sword fighting scene is indeed the biggest WTF moment from all the movie, like where have you ever known Hitman to keep two sowrds in his back and other clones the same in ALL the series?? This is Hitman, not a low-budget Hong-Kong Kung-fu movie...

Last but not least, the movie feels like it's been edited and cut down as hell to fit the 1 hour 30 format, thanks FOX for that as well as giving mr olyphant the role because he's starring in another FOX program.


But yeah, the plot and story is kinda cool.
