They need to make a Hitman movie that's just about 47. A psychological thriller about a man who is an effing clone that killed all of the other clones and his maker. A man that grew up in a fucked up environment. Seriously, ya'll should read his back story, it's pretty tragic and could make for an excellent movie.
Matt Mcandrew This was pretty much the reaction of everyone who saw the trailer. Way too much Hollywood-Action. Hell, you could do it from the POV of one of his targets. Build up a real sense of dread for the audience.
Matt Mcandrew It also should be more like a heist movie, where the planning of a perfect hit is most part of the filme and it should have no guns balzin action
Matt Mcandrew We're never going to get that. The most they'll do is use the Hitman name and turn it into an action movie. He won't be stealthy because studios think it's only entertaining if he's going in guns blazing. I feel like Hitman could work as a Netflix show with each episode being another hit. That's the only way I could see him done correctly, because big studios will just use the popularity of the game to get money on a normal action movie.
Zero Regen Golgo 13 is something like that. It's an anime about the "world's greatest assassin" trope. I think there were 2 series', one made in the 80's and one in 2009. There's a feature length animated movie as well. Golgo is like 47 in that he's a consummate professional who almost never loses his cool, and his skill is almost too perfect. The only thing that differs is that he has sex with random women every so often. It's the closest thing to a Hitman show I've seen.
So they made a Hitman movie without hardly any stealth element to it? Yeah that's sounds like a good idea. I'm sure the fans are totally onboard with that...
samzilla567 I just saw the trailer for this one and was like :What the hell!?!.So many action scene with 47 talking and being a smart ass.People can say what they want about the one with timothy oliphant but at least he nailed the 47 personality of being quiet and really not a social guy.I thought It would only get better from there, seems like I was terribly wrong...
I was watching this in the cinemas and after I think it was the opening action sequence someones said out loud "Someone isn't getting the silent assassin achievement" I liked that line better then most of the lines in the movie.
I read an interview with Rupert Friend, the actor playing 47 and he seemed like a cool guy who really understood his character and knew exactly how to play him. The stuff he said about 47 was just mindblowing in its understanding. So just off of that I knew he'd be perfectly cast and do a great job. Doesn't mean the movie is going to be as good as him unfortunately...
***** That's not the problem. An actor get's payed to portrait a role. The fault is in the script, the direction and the production. They made another Action movie out of Hitman. Not a suspense thriller. I can imagine a Brian dePalma like thriller. Or the short film that Freddy Wong did. THIS SHIT CAN FLY! but not in Hollywood.
+Sam McGaw (samsung12388) it is probably like the games ..the character is interesting to say at least he is not a crazy dumb ass he is genetically engineered he is not bad ... he is kind of naive but very skilled and wise if that makes sense ..so the character is good but the game is not pleasant..but i still play it hoping that they will get it right
***** Never trust the quality of a movie based on it's trailer anymore. They are rarely crafted to show off the movie properly anymore, they are now crafted to just get the most amount of people in the seats.
+thebagelbomb Eh, I think Fantastic Four already looked cheesy and boring from the trailer. So even before the UNIVERSALLY negative reviews started appearing, I knew it's not going to be a movie for me.
+thebagelbomb You thought the trailers for Fantastic 4 were good?! They made the movie look better than it really was sure, but I wouldn't say they made it look good. Also the trailers to this confused me. So Agent 47 has super powers? I thought he was just a Hitman who was really good at his job.
Even with all the crappy video game movies throughout the past 20 years, i still can't help but have hope for the upcoming ones: Assassin's Creed (it has Michael freakin' Fassbander and a great cast so far and a director who has made good-quality films so far) The Last of Us (Sam Raimi and Neil Druckmann are in charge, so yeah) Warcraft (Never played the game but it has a cool premise)
AssassinsDen4 Assassin's Creed) May I add that *Marion MOTHEF--KING COTILLARD* is in it? Last of Us) I agree, it might be a (excuse the pun) game-changer? Warcraft) The director of Source Code and Moon is helming it. That is all.
AssassinsDen4 Yeah, it also helps that those games have STORIES, it isn't all about creative ways to kill people...If they ruin the last of us they should just stop making video game movies forever
***** i liked the first game but it was milked more than CoD. Although as a movie, it might make a good horror one. WarriorReshiram Also, Michael Kenneth Williams and Ariane Labed. Amazing Cast for an Assassin's Creed movie. Man, now i'm really looking forward to Warcraft
Mr.Panda663 Well I have to disagree a bit about the interactive part. Game fans don't want to see movie because it's playable, they just want to seen a "good movie" that pays respect to the game. Not a "videogame movie" Which is why they hated the FPS sequence in Doom because it was out of contrast to the rest of the film. Most live action adaptations (probably with the exception of Prince of Persia) where horribly acted, horrendously written, illogical, and dumb as bad movies go compared to their source material.
The only really faithful Hitman movie would be based around a crowded area, following a few people there, and characters occasionally disappear. Then, after 2 hours, the credits role.
It's not that video game movies won't work. But, Hollywood never treats it right. Video game movies could work, if Hollywood actually gave a shit about these movies. If they have a budget. Had a good cast. Got a good writer. Hired a good director, and treated the source material well. The only reason why I say that last thing, is because of what they did with Mario and dragon ball.
RookieN08 just because they both have dragons and a Medieval atmosphere doesn't mean they're the same. Stories are COMPLETELY different. True ES fans would definitely notice the difference.
I was hoping this would be a decent action flick even it wasn't a good Hitman movie. I feel like a real Hitman movie would be slow, quiet with action scenes being quick and violent when they happen. I can picture tense scenes where 47 knocks a guy out and disguises himself, moving about the area in an almost choreographed dance through the scene where 47 is hiding and disguising and setting up kills professionally.
9_Bucks no, a good hitmanmovie would have absolutely 0 real "action scenes". It would be more like a clever heist movie where it is all about the planning and problems of a hit that looks like 47 never was there in the first place.
Urbanwaffle Hence, Netflix show. Each episode a different hit and a slightly different style based on how the circumstances evolve or devolve. Now all we need to figure out is the overall arc acting as the B or C plot per episode...
I think there's been some good video game movies but no great ones. I remember liking Mortal Kombat, Tekken (the live action 2010 one), Prince of Persia and the Ace Attorney movie.
The Unusual Suspect Mortal Kombat was great. It's a movie I watch a lot when I'm bored. Didn't really like Tekken but whatever. Also love your reviews man :D
Splinter cell movie woould be nice (i think they're making one) but it would be amazing if certain things gave him flashbacks so we could actually see the backstory of sam fisher...when he worked with the SEALs, the romance between him and his daughter's mother...etc
In the game, you almost never shoot unless you absolutely have to. You work your way around with clever strategies. This dude was nothing like the in game 47.
When Hitman: Agent 47 came to theaters, I thought about going to see it on silver screen but decided against it. I chose to wait until the rental blu-ray came out, and boy was I glad that did that. I honestly would have walked out of the theater in the first 5 minutes into the film, because in that time they showed that they chose to screw up the background story even worse than previous film. While the first film was twisted version of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, the second film was a clear rip-off of the Hitman: Absolution. I mean: Katia = Victoria, Le Clerq = Benjamin Travis etc. Also, Diana turning against 47?! What the heck!
True except it didn't have the group of Sexy killer Nun's that were sent to assassinate Agent 47, there was no Beefy buff body guard like he's Hitman's version of Bane from Batman, there's no Sheriff who teamed up with some cowboy simp, and finally most of the stuff from the game were done better than the film.
Dongaroos McGenus I'd say it's better off as a game. The messages and themes of "is violence bad?" works better if you yourself scythe your way through dozens of mooks in an adrenaline-fueled rage, before the music stops and you find yourself up to your knees in blood. That said, it could work. It has an 80's grindhouse/VHS style to it already. Just make it a mix between John Wick's nightclub scene and Memento.
ginganinja714 I agree that the themes do work better as a game, but the message (in the hands of a competent filmmaker) could easily be applied to film.
Paul Walker was previously attached to play the lead role in this film before his sudden death in late November 2013. There is a direct reference to the video game franchise made in one brief scene where a yellow rubber duck is seen floating in a bathtub along with a partially submerged toaster. The pose Agent 47 makes while exiting an elevator early in the film by facing forward and crossing his arm over his chest while holding his pistol is reminiscent of signature promotional images used throughout the Hitman video game franchise but the "blood on the sleeve" is from a cover of Hitman: Absolution. Seen in the trailer is Agent 47 wearing the uniform of a dispatched police officer as a disguise to aid his escape, a staple of the Hitman games. In the month's prior to the movie's release, 20th Century Fox and IGN Entertainment launched a social media campaign in order to find Hitman Agents 1 through 46. Contest entries, which were mostly comprised Agent 47 cosplay photos, were judged by a panel and winners were officially given numeric designations in the Hitman canon. The idea of a young girl who has assassin-like abilities (like super reflexes and freeing herself from her ties) and who is also wanted by an evil corporation is taken directly from the plot of Hitman: Absolution (2012). At 20:30, Hitman picks up Katia's prescription bottle. We see she's taking Dilantin which is an anticonvulsant that can treat and prevent seizures. Wilhelm Scream: at 45:25, as a Syndicate soldier is thrown into machinery. Rupert Friend accidentally hurt himself while firing a blank bullet for one scene. The hot shell bounced off the floor and hit him in the head, burning him slightly. The car that Agent 47 drives in the film is a 2013 Audi RS7 Sportback. During a series of quick cuts, a man can be seen holding a Sony PlayStation video game controller. Most of the early Hitman games were available on the PlayStation 2 system. The access code that Dr. Delriego (Rolf Kanies) gives to Agent 47 in the beginning of the movie is the actor's real birthday in numerics. 21-12-57 is December 21, 1957 The tactical unit members wore Dye I3 paintball masks to cover their faces. Reboot of the 2007 film. Aleksander Bach's directorial debut. Based on Hitman, a popular video game series by Danish company IO Interactive. The masked attackers use Beretta CX 4 Storms. Based on the posters and the trailers, shooting took place in Singapore. The bar-code on the back of Agent 47's head - 640509040147 - is the actual UPC and EAN number of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (2002), , the franchise's second game. Fittingly, this is the franchise's second movie. In the trailer, Katia is seen hanging in front of a running jet engine, being told by 47 to untie herself. This specific scene never actually occurred in the movie. This scene does occur, except Katia is tied to a chair. Zachary Quinto's surname "Quinto" in Italian means "fifth" in English. The mid-credits scene where Quinto's character wakes up with white hair and a pale complexion is a direct reference to the video game Hitman: Blood Money as the Syndicate assassins in the game are all albinos with white hair and pale complexion.
I think both films are equally terrible but if I had to watch just one of them again I'd watch the Olyphant film just because it has Olga Kurlenko. That being said Friend made a better Agent 47 than Olyphant.
As much as I like Robert Knepper (I own the entire series of Prison Break), he doesn't save that film in any way because it is so badly scripted and directed. I say again, both movies are equally terrible!
Unshaved Malevolence There is a series of games titled "Professor Layton" and the movie tells a story involving the main character of said games. It tells a story we haven't seen in a game before, yes, but I don't get how that doesn't make it a videogame movie. ps. when I said "that's your opinion," I was referring to your statements about Japan's movies.
I actually loved the parts where 47 walked after them just to show how much of a professional he was he didn't need to run because they made mistakes they bumped into stuff while he slid through groups of people In all the games that the aproach I always preferred slow but efficient he even walks effectively the rest was forgettable but that first part where 47 is the boogie man was what you checked your closet for its a very close to good videogame movie So close I feel they should have explored how scary a hit man can be
Ratchet & Clank. Sly Cooper. Assassin's Creed. Warcraft. Angry Birds. Five Nights at Freddy's. All have potential to be good and let's hope they do end up as such.
Well, the thing that all of those have in comon is that they actually seeming to be giving a damn about their source materials and are made by decent filmmakers. This was directed by some random jack ass I've never heard off, and written by the guy who brought us A Good Day To Die Of Boredom...
No because 1, Angry Birds doesn't have the lore or anything to be extended to movie length. A series of shorts or a season on a cartoon? Maybe. 5 nights? The way id see that being successful is if they try something new and the whole time we dont see our protaganist. And the movie is shot in first person. Make that shit an interactive film experience. Yet somehow I see it being another generic horror film with a fuck ton of jump scares. The thing saving 5 nights (potentially...) is its deep lore. Its not my 'hatred' of the games, its my realization of how shittily these film companies still handle some of these movies. The only ones I have optimism for is both the ratchet and sly movies. If they get those right (which I have a feeling they probably can, having thier writers from the game joining in the production of the movie) then my optimism will be restored.
Xafire Prime I liked it, but it’s probably because I didn’t play the game and everyone who hated it was like “the game’s so much better” or “it’s nothing like the game” so maybe that’s why
I also did not play the game, therefore movie was a good 7/10 at least. Also, do movies a favour and do not relate them to their games. You are going to be disappointed every single time. It just doesn't work with the experience you have in a game compared to a film.
Why are there so many people commenting 'I so wanted this to be good' or 'guess that's one more movie I'm not seeing', this review is one mans opinion, if it's the general consensus that a movies bad it usually is but this is just one guy who often gets it wrong imo, see it and then judge it
Oh come on! I've been saying that of all video game franchises that could make a decent movie, Hitman was arguably the best. It could basically be the story of an emotionally damaged super-solider-esque Hitman struggling with his morality. Or go full James Bond, just cutting out all the cheesy suaveness and replace it with typical Hitman emotionless reactions to bizarre things. So many options, and it still sucked.
Ihal Gaming The problem with MGS is that it's so heavy on exposition it would be problematic to make it into a movie. Hideo Kojima goes all in when writing, which is fine, but a movie written in his style would require so much setup and backstories that it would get old really quick.
It can't possibly be this hard to make a decent Hitman movie, honestly... Just look how the latest Hitman (game) does it's story; you're briefed with a mission by Diana. This single mission could be a movie. Hell, most people probably spend well over an hour on the first playthrough to scout through the map and look for opportunities. This could make some awesome "what-if" scenes of 47 killing the target with said opportunity, then we'll see what could go wrong (hence why he won't do that). The Paris mission alone could be a single movie.
I'm kind of in the mindset right now of asking, what's the point of video game movies now? Just considering the fact how cinematic a lot of cut scenes and even in-game moments tend to be, and then the added enjoyment of having control over those moments. I guess that's also part of the reason I don't mind them taking liberties as long as they make sense within the story they're building; I don't wanna see the exact same thing I've already experienced.
Vlad Bayard Most people who complained don't even know the game or the history of wow. Half of the movie is about orcs... of course it will be heavily CGI, but remember it still have almost 1 year for the actual launch... the trailer they saw wasn't even finished yet. And even if the CGI sucks, the story is excellent... good enough to stand on its own. If they screw everything else but the story, the movie will still be a good movie.
Gabe N CZ57 Avenger Well, of course it must have CGI, but they pushed the movie back over a year exactly to work on it... it's not normal if it looks like the intro to a game. It's not a good news if not even the trailer is done by now... but maybe it was just for Comic Con, we need to see the actual released trailer. If the orcs look fake they shouldn't have started making the movie. How do you know the story is excellent?? Is there a script leaked online??
Vlad Bayard I know the lore of the game... its based on WC1 and the opening of the dark portal. Even if the take some poetical lincense and change some stuff, the base material is still excelent with almost no room for mistakes. Its not like other movies where they just use the base game as inspiration and make a completely independent movie... thats the real story of the game which is great. And the film was delayed almost 8 years now so that they could deliver something they feel good about... the right director, the right script... That's the big difference here... they don't need to do it, they want to do it right for the players of the game. They always take their time and won't release anything they don't feel confident about it...
this movie cemented my hatred for "Stylized Action Scenes." im done, they look stupid, they just do. you can put all the time, effort, and money but the fact remains that an action scene that is more grounded in reality is just better, you feel like the stakes are high, you feel for the hero, you feel like its really happening. stylized action scenes remind me of the old argument that too much CGI makes it look fake and thats what these stylized action scenes do for me. let me know if you agree, id love to hear if im alone in this or if more people feel the same way.
Did anyone really expect a video game adaption in August to be any good? This one just seemed brainless and inept... and your review definitely confined those suspicions. Thanks as always for the quick and enjoyable review, Jeremy, saves me from wasting money on this one myself! By the way, love the gloves :-)
How hard is it to make a a good movie about a bald guy killing people?!.........oh wait.......A Good Day to Die Hard ..........apparently it's very hard.
I really enjoyed this critique and agree with parts of it; however one thing I would like to mention is that this movie is an adaptation of the game. Producers and directors did not have complete control seeing as the main hype of Hit man is mostly geared towards the game. Only if someone is to make a movie of a book or true story, should the movie be a close representation. other than that, movie remakes and movies made after comics/games are adaptations. With that being said I did agree with you on the script, acting and structure of the movie.
The action scenes was directed by one of directors of John Wick, as he was the Second Unit director, and they usually handle the action scenes in Hollywood. I know there is a few like Guillermo Del Torro and Christopher Nolan that likes to shoot their own action scenes (and I assume and looking at the extras the directors of John Wick did it themselves), but mostly the directors only works with the cast, and the let the second unit shoot the stunt guys and all the other stuff that actors aren't present for. This explains some of the John Wick looking action scenes.
I really hate the fact that the actor who plays agent 47 looks absolutely nothing like agent 47 does in the game. His head is shaved instead of being bald and his chin is way too pointy.
I saw End of the Tour I don't know if you saw or reviewed that yet but I recommend it- it's a talky but I really got drawn into the characters- some of the best acting I've seen from Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenburg
Agent 47. Master of disguise, hit man, assassin, a killer so amazing you never knew he was right beside you. I am pretty sure that not a single writer or director of this film gave any time to actually looking up the story besides reading the back of the game case.
I saw the other Hitman movie before I saw this, so maybe that's clouding my judgment. :) I actually thought it was okay. Not great, by any means, but but I liked a few things. 1) They actually tried to incorporate a little bit of sneaking around. The other Hitman movie had basically no stealth. 2) The movie starts off with Agent 47 being the villain. I thought that was a great touch, because to any outside observer, a guy who goes around assassinating people *would* be the villain. Unfortunately, they abandon that pretty quickly. 3) They incorporated Diana into the movie. At least by voice. The thing that was really lacking, though was the variety in the kills. You wouldn't get a high score at all, if that's the way you played Hitman.
I saw the trailer and it was already a joke , people don't know that once a Hitman is in custody or even suspected he is no longer a Hitman anymore even if there is no evidence , because his face was brought to the public and to law enforcement and they are supposed to be ghosts not a super ninja warrior or some shit
Your right about not remembering movies and some movies just stay with you. Especially about the new Terminator movie I really can't remember anything or at least any worth remembering. Personally I think your rating system makes a lot of sense
It's funny, I just got this month's GameInformer and it had an interview from the director and actor, Rupert Friend. Friend's interview made me believe that this was gonna be a success.
The weird thing about what Jeremy said about Agent 47 shooting like John Wick is that the supervisors of the action scenes were the directors of John Wick
47 shouldn't have life. He's an emotionless killer and that's the cool thing about his story because he's just this really good hitman that gets wrapped up in cool events. He doesn't just shoot at his target and then chase them, he tracks his target before taking the target out silently. He doesn't crash a helicopter into a building to kill a target.
1 and half months until the Warcraft trailer FINALLY debuts at Blizzcon. Anyway, if you've all seen the leaks from Comicon and 40 sec teaser, you should know that the movie is being taken in the right direction. Also, those saying that there's no story to Warcraft 1 (while it's true that the original game was more in the line of LotR, good humans vs evil orcs), read the books "Rise of the Horde" and "The Last Guardian", because that's where most of the source material came from for the movie.
I saw the Timothy Oliphant one and really enjoyed it but I love him as an actor anyway. I will go see this movie and get back to you on it even though I don't think im going to change my mind. Lol.
skipping this movie- i didn't even seen the first Hitman- it just doesn't work to make a movie based on a game like this. One of my favorite movies about a Hitman is Revolver directed by Guy Ritchie, which has one of the most bad-ass Hitman characters who kills mercilessly but has a heart when little girl is threatened he flips the switch and turns against his boss- killing all the men in the apartment- one with a head shot through he back of a fleeing car. i forget the actors name
They need to make a Hitman movie that's just about 47. A psychological thriller about a man who is an effing clone that killed all of the other clones and his maker. A man that grew up in a fucked up environment. Seriously, ya'll should read his back story, it's pretty tragic and could make for an excellent movie.

ginganinja714 'No country for old men' is another example of what a hitman movie should be.
Studios should stop hiring Skip Woods to write screenplays.

AssassinsDen4 Yeah, it also helps that those games have STORIES, it isn't all about creative ways to kill people...If they ruin the last of us they should just stop making video game movies forever
AssassinsDen4 An Uncharted movie staring either Bradly Cooper or Chris Pratt could be pretty fucking awesome if done well.
***** i liked the first game but it was milked more than CoD. Although as a movie, it might make a good horror one.
WarriorReshiram Also, Michael Kenneth Williams and Ariane Labed. Amazing Cast for an Assassin's Creed movie.
Man, now i'm really looking forward to Warcraft
I don't know why, but the thumbnail reminded me of your old videos. Man time flies!
Yeah same here
It's the hair

Austin Putnam It's the lighting. Thanks for bringing it back old school!

Videogame movies are doomed
It always has been. Film theory explains it all from the beginning how every video game movie suck but gets blockbuster status.
Raging Impulse Especially Doom.
Mr.Panda663 Well I have to disagree a bit about the interactive part. Game fans don't want to see movie because it's playable, they just want to seen a "good movie" that pays respect to the game. Not a "videogame movie" Which is why they hated the FPS sequence in Doom because it was out of contrast to the rest of the film. Most live action adaptations (probably with the exception of Prince of Persia) where horribly acted, horrendously written, illogical, and dumb as bad movies go compared to their source material.
+Mr.Panda663 urrm the first Hitman is a good movie, awkward...
Raging Impulse There does exist a good video game movie, in fact, it's actually fantastic. It's called Wreck-It Ralph.
FYI after the stab his line is 'Pretty crazy huh?' in case anyone was wondering.
The only really faithful Hitman movie would be based around a crowded area, following a few people there, and characters occasionally disappear. Then, after 2 hours, the credits role.
Warcraft will be the first good video game movie.
RedShibo hahaha, no
Denial lvl: ############
FreakieFan Maybe it could be a great action/fantasy movie at least.
+RedShibo I don't believe it is going to be good , just passable
RedShibo I don't know about that.
It's not that video game movies won't work. But, Hollywood never treats it right. Video game movies could work, if Hollywood actually gave a shit about these movies. If they have a budget. Had a good cast. Got a good writer. Hired a good director, and treated the source material well. The only reason why I say that last thing, is because of what they did with Mario and dragon ball.
And yes. I just realized after I wrote it that dragon ball was based off of a tv show. Like, 2 second after I submitted it
I think tomb raider somewhat got it right. It did feel like the old games and Jolie was a perfect Lara croft. Like you could tell she gave a shit.
R.A.s Reviews I dug the first tomb raider. I had forgotten all about those movies though.
Master Aquas Fallen Apprentice Dragon Ball the movie that never happened lol
R.A.s Reviews
True. That and the first resident evil weren't terrible movies.
Patiently waiting for a Skyrim/Elder Scrolls TV series on HBO or Starz
***** yep.
Hailey Allen To much like game of thorns, don't you think?
Hailey Allen There already is. Its called Game Of Thrones.
RookieN08 just because they both have dragons and a Medieval atmosphere doesn't mean they're the same. Stories are COMPLETELY different. True ES fans would definitely notice the difference.
Hailey Allen
"Stories are completely different" - No shit Sherlock.
I was hoping this would be a decent action flick even it wasn't a good Hitman movie.
I feel like a real Hitman movie would be slow, quiet with action scenes being quick and violent when they happen. I can picture tense scenes where 47 knocks a guy out and disguises himself, moving about the area in an almost choreographed dance through the scene where 47 is hiding and disguising and setting up kills professionally.
9_Bucks no, a good hitmanmovie would have absolutely 0 real "action scenes". It would be more like a clever heist movie where it is all about the planning and problems of a hit that looks like 47 never was there in the first place.
Urbanwaffle Hence, Netflix show. Each episode a different hit and a slightly different style based on how the circumstances evolve or devolve. Now all we need to figure out is the overall arc acting as the B or C plot per episode...
9_Bucks That doujin is fucked up.
***** i.imgur.com/lbCr0FW.png

I actually really liked the other Hitman movie with Timothy person. It reminded me of both Blood Money and Silent Assassin mixed into one movie.
Want a good hit man movie? Just watch The Transporter
or John Wick. Or Collateral.
Love the transporter
@@dice6338 does it have audio description is it on Netflix or on dvd the transporter
It probably reminds you of John Wick because the second unit director on Agent 47 is John Wick's co-director David Leitch
***** John Wick is basically the Hitman movie we always wanted.
***** Look up John Wick film on google then go wiki info you want is all there.
***** Buy a copy of the film and watch it.
Believe me, you won't regret it.
Agreed
+I am Jeffrey Da Pig , You will find out if you kill his dog.
I think there's been some good video game movies but no great ones. I remember liking Mortal Kombat, Tekken (the live action 2010 one), Prince of Persia and the Ace Attorney movie.
Prince of Persia was so shit compared to its source material, such a disappointment imo. Fucking ostriches, nuff said.
The Unusual Suspect Mortal Kombat was great. It's a movie I watch a lot when I'm bored. Didn't really like Tekken but whatever. Also love your reviews man :D
oh my god you commented on a jj video again
your a celebrity man you probably dont think so but you are amazingly talented
What? Those are all shitty movies. Mortal Kombat is the only "meh" one.
I love your channel dude, your reviews are awesome!
Splinter cell movie woould be nice (i think they're making one) but it would be amazing if certain things gave him flashbacks so we could actually see the backstory of sam fisher...when he worked with the SEALs, the romance between him and his daughter's mother...etc
In the game, you almost never shoot unless you absolutely have to. You work your way around with clever strategies. This dude was nothing like the in game 47.
They should just make video game tv series especially hitman, starting from his origin
When Hitman: Agent 47 came to theaters, I thought about going to see it on silver screen but decided against it. I chose to wait until the rental blu-ray came out, and boy was I glad that did that.
I honestly would have walked out of the theater in the first 5 minutes into the film, because in that time they showed that they chose to screw up the background story even worse than previous film.
While the first film was twisted version of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, the second film was a clear rip-off of the Hitman: Absolution. I mean: Katia = Victoria, Le Clerq = Benjamin Travis etc.
Also, Diana turning against 47?! What the heck!
True except it didn't have the group of Sexy killer Nun's that were sent to assassinate Agent 47, there was no Beefy buff body guard like he's Hitman's version of Bane from Batman, there's no Sheriff who teamed up with some cowboy simp, and finally most of the stuff from the game were done better than the film.
Hbo really needs to make hitman into a 8 episode seasonal quality series. It'd be perfect for Hbo
Hitman lends himself to a mid budget 10-15 episode series easily, because each episode can be a different mission.
It would have been better had Timothy Olyphant had agreed to a Hitman sequel, instead of Agent 47.
Video's 4:20 minutes long BLAZE IT!!!!!!!!
Lmao it's 4:19
+john jonz lol
+Júlíus Máni Sigurðsson Yep.
It's only 4:19 : )
straight outta compton's review is 4:20
You guys remember Scott Pilgrim VS the world? That was a video game movie and it kicked ass
They were based on comics, but it did have videogame elements.
That movie performed horribly at the box office. Even then I still liked it and it got relatively good reviews from critics.
Hotline Miami (1 and 2) has potential to be a movie.
Bradley Hayes I said it has potential. If somebody who gave a shit AND was good at surreal filmmaking directed it, it could be great.
+Dongaroos McGenus Edgar Wright or Doug Liman would be perfect for Hotline Miami, it would be like Edge of Tomorrow and Scott Pilgrim's love child.
Dongaroos McGenus I'd say it's better off as a game. The messages and themes of "is violence bad?" works better if you yourself scythe your way through dozens of mooks in an adrenaline-fueled rage, before the music stops and you find yourself up to your knees in blood.
That said, it could work. It has an 80's grindhouse/VHS style to it already. Just make it a mix between John Wick's nightclub scene and Memento.
ginganinja714 I agree that the themes do work better as a game, but the message (in the hands of a competent filmmaker) could easily be applied to film.
why not tarantino??
If they made absolution into a movie, that'd be amazing
I would honestly see it. Absolution would actually be a good movie.
i guess i am the only one who really liked it, hell i even loved the first one.
i think people are getting way to picky with movies
Umm are you sure you watched the same movie
Yep
Oliver Mendonca kevlar skin. Its stupid.
Emil Sørensen I liked it
Agreed, for me it takes a movie to be really shitty to hate it.
People are so picky, wish I could understand them but I really can't.
Is it better or worse than the 2007 Hitman movie?
According to Rotten Tomatoes, this one is worse.
worst... the other one was not that bad
Mayito1990 The other one was horrible
+Mayito1990
I liked the one from 2007 with Timothy Olyphant.
+1st508th Airborne I only liked that one because I like Olyphant
Would anyone go to see a witcher movie?
BloodCroft HELL YES!
BloodCroft witcher is a book adaptation and there already is movie
giobs111 I'm mean a real film adaptation
giobs111 most of the books haven't been translated to English as its polish origins.
BloodCroft I think just two of them do not have offical english translation...I read them all in epub format
The Timothy Olyphant version is a guilty pleasure for me.
Paul Walker was previously attached to play the lead role in this film before his sudden death in late November 2013.
There is a direct reference to the video game franchise made in one brief scene where a yellow rubber duck is seen floating in a bathtub along with a partially submerged toaster.
The pose Agent 47 makes while exiting an elevator early in the film by facing forward and crossing his arm over his chest while holding his pistol is reminiscent of signature promotional images used throughout the Hitman video game franchise but the "blood on the sleeve" is from a cover of Hitman: Absolution.
Seen in the trailer is Agent 47 wearing the uniform of a dispatched police officer as a disguise to aid his escape, a staple of the Hitman games.
In the month's prior to the movie's release, 20th Century Fox and IGN Entertainment launched a social media campaign in order to find Hitman Agents 1 through 46. Contest entries, which were mostly comprised Agent 47 cosplay photos, were judged by a panel and winners were officially given numeric designations in the Hitman canon.
The idea of a young girl who has assassin-like abilities (like super reflexes and freeing herself from her ties) and who is also wanted by an evil corporation is taken directly from the plot of Hitman: Absolution (2012).
At 20:30, Hitman picks up Katia's prescription bottle. We see she's taking Dilantin which is an anticonvulsant that can treat and prevent seizures.
Wilhelm Scream: at 45:25, as a Syndicate soldier is thrown into machinery.
Rupert Friend accidentally hurt himself while firing a blank bullet for one scene. The hot shell bounced off the floor and hit him in the head, burning him slightly.
The car that Agent 47 drives in the film is a 2013 Audi RS7 Sportback.
During a series of quick cuts, a man can be seen holding a Sony PlayStation video game controller. Most of the early Hitman games were available on the PlayStation 2 system.
The access code that Dr. Delriego (Rolf Kanies) gives to Agent 47 in the beginning of the movie is the actor's real birthday in numerics. 21-12-57 is December 21, 1957
The tactical unit members wore Dye I3 paintball masks to cover their faces.
Reboot of the 2007 film.
Aleksander Bach's directorial debut.
Based on Hitman, a popular video game series by Danish company IO Interactive.
The masked attackers use Beretta CX 4 Storms.
Based on the posters and the trailers, shooting took place in Singapore.
The bar-code on the back of Agent 47's head - 640509040147 - is the actual UPC and EAN number of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (2002), , the franchise's second game. Fittingly, this is the franchise's second movie.
In the trailer, Katia is seen hanging in front of a running jet engine, being told by 47 to untie herself. This specific scene never actually occurred in the movie. This scene does occur, except Katia is tied to a chair.
Zachary Quinto's surname "Quinto" in Italian means "fifth" in English.
The mid-credits scene where Quinto's character wakes up with white hair and a pale complexion is a direct reference to the video game Hitman: Blood Money as the Syndicate assassins in the game are all albinos with white hair and pale complexion.
Okay, Dragon Ball, Fantastic Four and now Hitman. What childhood memory should Fox destroy next?
nice video length
I think both films are equally terrible but if I had to watch just one of them again I'd watch the Olyphant film just because it has Olga Kurlenko. That being said Friend made a better Agent 47 than Olyphant.
As much as I like Robert Knepper (I own the entire series of Prison Break), he doesn't save that film in any way because it is so badly scripted and directed. I say again, both movies are equally terrible!
He was also the best thing about Transporter 3.
"Professor Layton and The Eternal Diva" is literally the best videogame movie I've watched so far.
It's mostly the Hollywood videogame movies that are not well made and are getting all the hate.
Unshaved Malevolence Well that's your opinion, man.
Unshaved Malevolence There is a series of games titled "Professor Layton" and the movie tells a story involving the main character of said games.
It tells a story we haven't seen in a game before, yes, but I don't get how that doesn't make it a videogame movie.
ps. when I said "that's your opinion," I was referring to your statements about Japan's movies.
Unshaved Malevolence So this turned into a matter of wording...okay then.
as for japan movies, like I said, It's your opinion.
Unshaved Malevolence I have watched them and I know it's my opinion.
Five Nights At Freddy's is going to become a movie. Hard to f*ck that up. Keep the lore, and have a lot of jumpscares
Robberator Won't be great probably, but at least half-decent, based on the franchise alone
Jeremy, are those the gloves to a gimp suit...?
I actually loved the parts where 47 walked after them just to show how much of a professional he was he didn't need to run because they made mistakes they bumped into stuff while he slid through groups of people In all the games that the aproach I always preferred slow but efficient he even walks effectively the rest was forgettable but that first part where 47 is the boogie man was what you checked your closet for its a very close to good videogame movie So close I feel they should have explored how scary a hit man can be
The old hitman movie was average but this one completly sucked the real 47 is suposed to be emotionless and goes around things silently.
Ratchet & Clank.
Sly Cooper.
Assassin's Creed.
Warcraft.
Angry Birds.
Five Nights at Freddy's.
All have potential to be good and let's hope they do end up as such.
Well, the thing that all of those have in comon is that they actually seeming to be giving a damn about their source materials and are made by decent filmmakers.
This was directed by some random jack ass I've never heard off, and written by the guy who brought us A Good Day To Die Of Boredom...
Lol at angry birds and five nights at Freddy's
+Jay Jay Yeah. Both of those have the potential to be garbage. lol
Stevie D
Why? Because they're based on games you can't stand to hear about any longer?
C'mon, just give them a chance.
No because 1, Angry Birds doesn't have the lore or anything to be extended to movie length. A series of shorts or a season on a cartoon? Maybe.
5 nights? The way id see that being successful is if they try something new and the whole time we dont see our protaganist. And the movie is shot in first person. Make that shit an interactive film experience. Yet somehow I see it being another generic horror film with a fuck ton of jump scares. The thing saving 5 nights (potentially...) is its deep lore.
Its not my 'hatred' of the games, its my realization of how shittily these film companies still handle some of these movies. The only ones I have optimism for is both the ratchet and sly movies. If they get those right (which I have a feeling they probably can, having thier writers from the game joining in the production of the movie) then my optimism will be restored.
i can't be the only one who liked this movie,right!?
i know my friends liked it like me
Xafire Prime I liked it, but it’s probably because I didn’t play the game and everyone who hated it was like “the game’s so much better” or “it’s nothing like the game” so maybe that’s why
I also did not play the game, therefore movie was a good 7/10 at least.
Also, do movies a favour and do not relate them to their games.
You are going to be disappointed every single time.
It just doesn't work with the experience you have in a game compared to a film.
Why are there so many people commenting 'I so wanted this to be good' or 'guess that's one more movie I'm not seeing', this review is one mans opinion, if it's the general consensus that a movies bad it usually is but this is just one guy who often gets it wrong imo, see it and then judge it
3:50 I agree
As much as I would love video game movies to be great, there's a reason why people don't make them.
Hub Hikari There's always Wreck-it-Ralph and (debatably) the Spy Kids films.
Hub Hikari i liked wreck it ralph.
Oh come on! I've been saying that of all video game franchises that could make a decent movie, Hitman was arguably the best. It could basically be the story of an emotionally damaged super-solider-esque Hitman struggling with his morality. Or go full James Bond, just cutting out all the cheesy suaveness and replace it with typical Hitman emotionless reactions to bizarre things. So many options, and it still sucked.
I agree, Or even a noir type story. Yet this movie just completely butchered the character
I think metal gear solid would make a decent movie series.
Ihal Gaming The problem with MGS is that it's so heavy on exposition it would be problematic to make it into a movie. Hideo Kojima goes all in when writing, which is fine, but a movie written in his style would require so much setup and backstories that it would get old really quick.
It can't possibly be this hard to make a decent Hitman movie, honestly...
Just look how the latest Hitman (game) does it's story; you're briefed with a mission by Diana. This single mission could be a movie. Hell, most people probably spend well over an hour on the first playthrough to scout through the map and look for opportunities. This could make some awesome "what-if" scenes of 47 killing the target with said opportunity, then we'll see what could go wrong (hence why he won't do that).
The Paris mission alone could be a single movie.
I'm kind of in the mindset right now of asking, what's the point of video game movies now? Just considering the fact how cinematic a lot of cut scenes and even in-game moments tend to be, and then the added enjoyment of having control over those moments. I guess that's also part of the reason I don't mind them taking liberties as long as they make sense within the story they're building; I don't wanna see the exact same thing I've already experienced.
Don't raise your hopes for Warcraft, from all reports the Comic Con trailer was bad, with bad CGI. Nope, we must put our hopes in Assassin's Creed.
Vlad Bayard Most people who complained don't even know the game or the history of wow. Half of the movie is about orcs... of course it will be heavily CGI, but remember it still have almost 1 year for the actual launch... the trailer they saw wasn't even finished yet.
And even if the CGI sucks, the story is excellent... good enough to stand on its own. If they screw everything else but the story, the movie will still be a good movie.
Well, it has to be CGI. We're talking about 8 foot Orcs..
There's a new MK movie coming too
Gabe N CZ57 Avenger Well, of course it must have CGI, but they pushed the movie back over a year exactly to work on it... it's not normal if it looks like the intro to a game. It's not a good news if not even the trailer is done by now... but maybe it was just for Comic Con, we need to see the actual released trailer. If the orcs look fake they shouldn't have started making the movie.
How do you know the story is excellent?? Is there a script leaked online??
Vlad Bayard I know the lore of the game... its based on WC1 and the opening of the dark portal. Even if the take some poetical lincense and change some stuff, the base material is still excelent with almost no room for mistakes. Its not like other movies where they just use the base game as inspiration and make a completely independent movie... thats the real story of the game which is great.
And the film was delayed almost 8 years now so that they could deliver something they feel good about... the right director, the right script... That's the big difference here... they don't need to do it, they want to do it right for the players of the game. They always take their time and won't release anything they don't feel confident about it...
this movie cemented my hatred for "Stylized Action Scenes." im done, they look stupid, they just do. you can put all the time, effort, and money but the fact remains that an action scene that is more grounded in reality is just better, you feel like the stakes are high, you feel for the hero, you feel like its really happening. stylized action scenes remind me of the old argument that too much CGI makes it look fake and thats what these stylized action scenes do for me. let me know if you agree, id love to hear if im alone in this or if more people feel the same way.
totally agreed bro !
that moment you realize Paul walker was supposed to play agent 47.. rip paul
SOOO... Is it better or worse than the last Hitman movie? (The Timothy Oliphant one)
Did anyone really expect a video game adaption in August to be any good? This one just seemed brainless and inept... and your review definitely confined those suspicions. Thanks as always for the quick and enjoyable review, Jeremy, saves me from wasting money on this one myself!
By the way, love the gloves :-)
How hard is it to make a a good movie about a bald guy killing people?!.........oh wait.......A Good Day to Die Hard ..........apparently it's very hard.
Darth Vanquish same writer...:)
I really enjoyed this critique and agree with parts of it; however one thing I would like to mention is that this movie is an adaptation of the game. Producers and directors did not have complete control seeing as the main hype of Hit man is mostly geared towards the game. Only if someone is to make a movie of a book or true story, should the movie be a close representation. other than that, movie remakes and movies made after comics/games are adaptations. With that being said I did agree with you on the script, acting and structure of the movie.
The action scenes was directed by one of directors of John Wick, as he was the Second Unit director, and they usually handle the action scenes in Hollywood.
I know there is a few like Guillermo Del Torro and Christopher Nolan that likes to shoot their own action scenes (and I assume and looking at the extras the directors of John Wick did it themselves), but mostly the directors only works with the cast, and the let the second unit shoot the stunt guys and all the other stuff that actors aren't present for.
This explains some of the John Wick looking action scenes.
jumpscare at 4:20
Troll
I think red dead redemption would be a sick movie
Could you watch Chuck and then review the series? If you have Netflix they have all 5 seasons.
Jeremy forgot to shave his head.
I really hate the fact that the actor who plays agent 47 looks absolutely nothing like agent 47 does in the game. His head is shaved instead of being bald and his chin is way too pointy.
I'm early . Now what? Do I get a trophy or something? A cookie maybe? No? K
***** You only get a cookie if you're FIRST!
he's just running when you're not looking. the second you turn around he switches to the cool-calm-and-menacing stride.
Review the first Silent-Hill movie, Jeremy.
I saw End of the Tour I don't know if you saw or reviewed that yet but I recommend it- it's a talky but I really got drawn into the characters- some of the best acting I've seen from Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenburg
Agent 47. Master of disguise, hit man, assassin, a killer so amazing you never knew he was right beside you. I am pretty sure that not a single writer or director of this film gave any time to actually looking up the story besides reading the back of the game case.
I saw the other Hitman movie before I saw this, so maybe that's clouding my judgment. :)
I actually thought it was okay. Not great, by any means, but but I liked a few things.
1) They actually tried to incorporate a little bit of sneaking around. The other Hitman movie had basically no stealth.
2) The movie starts off with Agent 47 being the villain. I thought that was a great touch, because to any outside observer, a guy who goes around assassinating people *would* be the villain. Unfortunately, they abandon that pretty quickly.
3) They incorporated Diana into the movie. At least by voice.
The thing that was really lacking, though was the variety in the kills. You wouldn't get a high score at all, if that's the way you played Hitman.
I saw the trailer and it was already a joke , people don't know that once a Hitman is in custody or even suspected he is no longer a Hitman anymore even if there is no evidence , because his face was brought to the public and to law enforcement and they are supposed to be ghosts not a super ninja warrior or some shit
Your right about not remembering movies and some movies just stay with you. Especially about the new Terminator movie I really can't remember anything or at least any worth remembering. Personally I think your rating system makes a lot of sense
Still gonna watch it. I need to know if this is better or worst than Timothy Olyphant's Hitman and I like that movie.
Will you review the 2007 Hitman movie? I personally found it more enjoyable.
Why would they make a generic action movie based off a game praised for its stealth and creativity?
You know you've made it when your name becomes a reference for badassery. Here's looking at you John Wick.
The delay after "click right here to see more" got me. I was looking down and was like "what? is it buffering?" then BLAM
It's funny, I just got this month's GameInformer and it had an interview from the director and actor, Rupert Friend. Friend's interview made me believe that this was gonna be a success.
this review was a great piece of entertainment. thank you!
A good Hitman movie already exists, it's the Hitman games
Jeremy Jahns, you should review Song of the Sea, it's still new and the movie needs the publicity
The weird thing about what Jeremy said about Agent 47 shooting like John Wick is that the supervisors of the action scenes were the directors of John Wick
Reporter: How many stars are on the american flag?
Lady: Oh i dont know 50 states minus 13 colonies goddamn 47
Great review Jeremy. I'll check this out eventually!
JJ...You're a hit in Providence. Keep up the outstanding work!
Who else is pumped for Jeremy getting 1,000,000 subscribers soon?
Get ready for a Super Mario movie reboot
And yes, I did say reboot...
Hey Jeremy, do you mind reviewing Paper Towns, I'm curious of your opinion on it
47 shouldn't have life. He's an emotionless killer and that's the cool thing about his story because he's just this really good hitman that gets wrapped up in cool events. He doesn't just shoot at his target and then chase them, he tracks his target before taking the target out silently. He doesn't crash a helicopter into a building to kill a target.
1 and half months until the Warcraft trailer FINALLY debuts at Blizzcon.
Anyway, if you've all seen the leaks from Comicon and 40 sec teaser, you should know that the movie is being taken in the right direction.
Also, those saying that there's no story to Warcraft 1 (while it's true that the original game was more in the line of LotR, good humans vs evil orcs), read the books "Rise of the Horde" and "The Last Guardian", because that's where most of the source material came from for the movie.
I saw the Timothy Oliphant one and really enjoyed it but I love him as an actor anyway. I will go see this movie and get back to you on it even though I don't think im going to change my mind. Lol.
Any faith in the Mass effect movie?
The action looked like John Wick because the John Wick directors did the action scenes
skipping this movie- i didn't even seen the first Hitman- it just doesn't work to make a movie based on a game like this. One of my favorite movies about a Hitman is Revolver directed by Guy Ritchie, which has one of the most bad-ass Hitman characters who kills mercilessly but has a heart when little girl is threatened he flips the switch and turns against his boss- killing all the men in the apartment- one with a head shot through he back of a fleeing car. i forget the actors name
What one is better 2007 Hitman or 2015 Hitman Jeremy Jahns?
