Hitman: My Review

Hitman, in my opinion, was not very good. It proved to me that today's movie directors refuse to keep the details behind the video game's story line and just butcher everything that had to do with the game. It had nothing to do with the games except for the fact that 47 was in it and he was in one of the most repetitive places in all of the Hitman games, St. Petersburg. The action was cool, but not creative like in the video games. 47 is not Rambo, and he is not invincible like in this movie. 47 is a selfish and greedy assassin set out to kill his targets QUIETLY as long as he's paid well. In the movie, it made no difference if there was a civilian in the way, and he did not under any circumstances make his hits look like accidents. It was just another lame video game to film adaptation if you ask me. I strongly recommend that you wait for this one to come on DVD if you really feel like you need to see it.

Sir, I shall kindly disagree. Hitman showed what talented directors can do with decent budgets and some great B-grade actors (or in Olyphant's case, a low-A). Sure it was more Jason Bourne than 47, but we all knew it wasn't going to follow the games' blueprint verbatim. Explosions, mayhem, boobs; Hitman was terrific.

I disagree. It wasn't a video game movie, it was an average action movie that just so happened to share the same name as the games. Olyphant's performance would have been better had he not been Timothy Olyphant.

About Me

I like games that implement new ideas and have original storylines and ideas without going a thousand years in the future or two hundred years in the past. Modern warfare games keep my interest because they are believable and they don't seem far fetched. I'm not a fan of the Halo series and I'm also not a big fan of consoles, although I prefer the PS3 over any other console. I only play one RPG game, and it is called Guild Wars. The community in that game is better than any other that I have ever come in contact with and it actually has a storyline. I'm not very big on PvP, and that seems to be basically the only focus of so many RPG games out there (World of Warcraft, Lineage II, blah blah blah).
