I never saw the first Hitman, and have heard nothing good about it...but the trailer for the new one looks pretty badass!

Hope it's as cool as it looks.

Is the first one really as bad as I've heard?

I have yet to see a truly good video game-based film, and this one looks like crap to me, I have to say.

It was made by people who obviously never played the video game and heard a general outline ...miscast and terrible ..

Ha! Good to know...

Hitman is supposed to be a silent and stealthy assassin. In this he looks like the explosive action hero leaving behind a lot of destruction.

I love the video games. The movies are............

The last movie was not very good

I don't even understand why their making another Hitman movie. The first one wasn't a hit, and this one looks it's gonna flop.

personally... i think the Hitman (2007) (6/10) is going to be better than the 2015 movie.

but ill check out the 2015 movie as i used to be a big fan of the Hitman games from back in the day through the 4th game. but as far as the video games go i think that series peaked in the 3rd game as i got the most all around enjoyment out of that one.

i would say Mortal Kombat (1995) and Hitman (2007) are the best video game to movie adaptations personally.

Is the first one really as bad as I've heard?

it might depend... like if you are trying to compare it to what the game is capable of outputting with the character etc then there is quite a bit of room for improvement (as they are basically action movies but i wish they would focus more on the characters mindset etc) but if i just look at it like more of a simple action movie, which is how i pretty much see it, it's decent enough especially if you got any sort of interest in that genre.

Hitman (2007) - 6/10 (a mild thumbs up) ; it's a movie i re-watched once in a while as the years pass. the last time i re-watched it was Aug 30th 2014.
