Um, you obviously don't know the story of Hitman right? You do realize he was raised in the labs in which he was created in? He was considered one of the rare successful clones that was created.

So yes, he was educated and trained in the art of killing, and to some extent he was raised by the doctors and that's the concept they should've went with in my opinion. Trying to make him relatable is just a stupid idea because you're not supposed to be able to relate to a killer.

Hitman isn't Jigsaw aka John Kramer(Saw) who you can relate to and see where he's coming from with his views.

There is no way to have a wide audience sit down and watch a movie where the main character is completely cold, quiet, and gives you no way to relate. It just wouldn't work.
The Terminator became relatable in Terminator 2, why? Because instead of the villian, he became the 'main' character.

It's just how things go. Yes fans of the games would be able to watch a movie where he's just a badass who takes out everyone and has no moral center, but general people wouldn't.

In Hitman: Blood Money they mention he's a clone. It's mentioned more than once by the way.

Goes to show how memorable the whole reporter talking to wheelchair guy storyline was. :whatever: The stories in the Hitman games are like the wrap-arounds in a tv clip show. And I'm fine with that because the games are amazing to play.

I don't feel Olyphant is a good actor at all. He doesn't have the chops nor does he have the look of 47, and for me, as a fan of the games, 47 needs to come across as a very cold, calculated, and detached individual that kills because he does it for money not because that person is evil.

Go watch Deadwood. If you still think hes a bad actor, well then you just dont know talent. I mean the guy isnt the greatest actor around but hes not bad. I can agree with you on his look, i dont really know if im feeling him as 47 or not but well see.

But 47 is different than most killers. He doesn't do it because he necessarily enjoys it. Its his job. You can relate to that. Hes a professional doing a job, even tho that job has him crossing the world taking out seedy individuals by any means necessary and then picking up a paycheck at the end of the day...just like a normal , every day working stiff...sorta

Bond and Hitman are two different entities. You cannot compare the two because Bond has been around longer and has had many different actors portray him.

Sure ya can. Alot of ppl had an image of Bond going into the film that was NOT what Daniel Craig was portraying, i was one em. Yet i came out of the film thinking the opposite. He captured the essence of Bond. Same thing with 47 and Olyphant, as long as he captures the essence of 47 then i think hell do fine.

Why the move?

I guess two possibilities. 1. They need time to finish any effects and or filming. or 2.This is FOX. They need time to make those PG-13 edits. God forbid they release an R rated movie.(with the exception of AVP-R)
 
An R rated Hitman movie would be awesome.
 
I know this is kind of off topic, but still is about Hitman, so I have to ask....Has there been any news on another game?
 
No news on a new game.

And they better not be making this move so that they can edit it to be a PG-13 movie. It'll be like Die Hard 4 all over again. Am I the only one who noticed the TERRIBLE editing in that movie?

Like the bad redubbing of words.
 
I don't see why they would delay it a month to re-edit it. Fox knew that the director was going for an R, So if they also knew they were going to make it Pg-13 I don't see why they wouldn't have planned for it.

We always hear about movies that get NC-17's and are re-edited for an R, why don't we ever hear which movies are R and getting re-edited for a PG-13?
 
I saw the new trailer before War, and it definitely made my hopes a bit higher. :up:
 
War is alright. It was at the same level as Cradle 2 the Grave or Romeo Must Die. The movie is definitely NOT what you'll expect, and that is not an understatement. I think that the action is worth admission, alone, because it really was enjoyable/fun.

Out of 4 stars, I'd probably give it 2 1/2.
 
The new trailer was defiantly better than the teaser, although it still doesn't feel 47-ish enough. It does look slick visual wise.

From all the explosions and SWAT team action it's safe to say he's not getting a Silent Assasin rating.

You actually bring up an interesting point. I'm all for two handed baller ownage, but I really hope they show 47 getting his silent assassin on more.*

That has always been my favorite part of the games....replaying each level and figuring out how to get the SA rating.

*someone needs to make a GIF of 47 sneaking behind the guy in the bathroom.:woot:
 
War totally sucked.

How did you like The Invasion, xwolverine?

I take my rating back.
I'd give War 2/4 stars.

:huh: ...
it was great i enjoyed it.

the first remake is still a bit better.

LOL, sorry if that seemed a little random. I just remembered you commenting about The Invasion a couple times and I remembered your avvy and I kept forgetting to ask you what you thought of it.

But yea, it was pretty good. I would of liked it a tad scarier though. And I never saw the original (or the remake).
