Silent hill, resident evil, final fantasy - none of these films really stick to what the games are about and they pretty poor compared to the high praise the games get.

This looks to change with the new hitman movie, initial reviews say it should please fans of the game and the director himself says he has taken a lot of influence from the game, infact when he was stuck about how to spproach a scene, he would play the game!

Also check out the trailer here: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/hitman/trailer_large.html

Any hitman fans going to see this?

PS i know this is a movie, but its a game based movies and I think its about time us gamers get a decent translation!
 
The game is about anything you want it to be, I admit back in my younger days when stealth just wasnt working and I wanted to progress I would just let rip.

Also it says he is caught up in a political war, so maybe he has to put fear into their hearts ie the guy chained in the bath tub, public sniping and letting rip with dual mp5's...

The game is about stealth. The trailer has explosions.
It's not looking good...

It appears to have romance, it fails.

Agreed and agreed.

Who said a films needs explosions to be good - oh that's right, Hollywood and most action packed, huge budget, blockbuster, must see, forgotten by the following year films. Yawn.

They've got a ready made deep, ultra cool and intriguing character. A film could easily be made that is about plot and super slick assassinations. I can't see this film getting any Silent Assassin awards - except maybe the first and only one they do (probably as a prologue) to demonstrate what an excellent film they could have made.

I really hope I am wrong, but to repeat above, all I can see is fail.
 
Hehe, can you imagine if they strictly stuck to the game?

"Right now i will just wait here for 5 minutes while the guard circles round the building"
"DAMN someone walked in on me while i was waiting, Quickload!"
 
I'm not convinced it was the best game for a movie adaption.

Agent 47 is a very wooden character in the games, so the film is going to have to change that considerably or it would be very boring.
