Cool interrogation scene...once you suspend the stupidity of bringing an armed rifle into the room!And what's with helicopters & buildings...a recurring scene in the last 2 Hitman movies?
also, did you think they ripped off Rorschach's dialogue from the prison scene? "You're trapped in here with me!"

Yeah there was a straight to dvd sequel not with Olyphant & this now one coming to the big screen.
Maybe it was Rorschach inspired but still sounds good when delivered properly.

You may have played Hitman, but you are clearly not a serious fan. Judging from your responses you've probably only played the latest one.
Anyone who respects the games knows your comment does not stand.
Quote me where I said "the movie looks terrible". Because it sounds like you are making things up.
Going just by the trailer, the movie does not appear faithful to the games. Doesn't mean its a terrible movie, but likely not a good "Hitman" movie.

You can play it as badly as you want to, but Agent 47 in the canon story line is a silent assassin. That is the whole point of the game.
From Wiki:
Due to his successful track record, 47 is usually given the Agency's largest, most complex and most difficult assignments. 47 completes all of his assignments with unwavering accuracy, fulfilling all of his objectives and unfailingly eliminating his targets. 47's stealth and cunning are so perfect that 47's existence in the ICA became legendary; he is regarded by the world as an urban legend of a "mysterious assassin", and very few know of his appearance (fewer people even know that he exists).
Saw the trailer, and tbh, just doesn't scream "Hitman" to me. Looks like it'll be a good action movie, but I don't get the feeling it'll be a good Hitman movie. Just imo.

What was wrong with Absolution? That game could be played almost completely stealthily if you wanted.

I honestly don't think you can make a super faithful Hitman adaptation for the silver screen. While it's true the action in the movie pretty much directly mirrors what can and will happen if you go around guns blazing, I'm sure it'll have some decent steatlh and has already showed him hiding as the enemy.
But the Hitman series itself puts so much control in your hands of how you do things, a movie can never really do it justice. Especially since if you wanted "Silent Assassin", that would make for a pretty boring movie where he just stealthily dispatches everyone and makes it look like an accident.

Eh, honestly, I think hitmen who can do things silently/to look like accidents can be done on screen, it just takes a certain tone.
I'm not saying Hitman would be easy, but I don't think the current approach they're using is the right way to go about it.

My problems with Absolution were that it was pretty much a game about getting to the door. The story wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible, though I feel as the game made a few horrible decisions and forgot about his character. They penalize you whenever you kill someone that's not your target, which is usually fine, I understand that a professional only kills who he is contracted to kill but the scene at the orphanage where they are mercilessly slaughtering the nuns/women of faith should've been the one time where you could go in guns a blazing since 47's faith is one of his defining characteristics. Some of the mechanics were horrible, some were good. The AI were too good at spotting your disguises when you're supposed to be a master of disguise and the only way to get past their suspicion was to run your hand over your head or pull your hat down, or lower your head a bit?

From Wiki:
You're right, every mission is canonically carried out with you being a ghost, myth and legend. You're never seen by anyone that is still alive and you never kill more than you're supposed to kill.

You're also right, I wouldn't want to see a Splinter Cell or Hitman movie about the main character just quietly getting through every obstacle with only a bullet or two being shot each scene. It needs the gunfights and the explosive action to keep people entertained.

That can be done, but I don't think it can be done successfully to attract the masses and get their money and support for the franchise. Most people won't have the attention span.
