I'm not sure about the embedding, I'm never too good at that myself.

I saw that trailer yesterday. It looks like an average action movie but not a great Hitman movie. I've played all but the first Hitman game and they just aren't action-packed games unless you're a terrible assassin :D Maybe it's not a game that translates well to a movie, though I'm sure Hollywood just wants to make what sells so they don't care. In that case though, I would think the Hitman license doesn't bring much value to the movie. After the first movie it might actually be a deterrent to movie goers.

It's [youtube ] [/youtube ] without the spaces. Also, take out the s in https and it'll embed properly.

Honestly looks more fun than I expected, though the problem with it being a big action movie, was that whenever in the games it turned into an action movie, it's because you weren't that great at the game and failed to properly stealth your way through lol

Damn. I was really hoping this one would actually turn out to be decent.  :(

As the others said... an ok action movie, but not a good 'Hitman' movie. Idk if the people directing these are basing it off of the whole 'James Bond reboot' idea or what, but why do they refuse to actually use an older man that's closer to the actual age of the in-game 47?  :-\

I don't think that trying to translate a game like Hitman to the screen is a problem. Much like the game industry, movies at this time are just broadly falling into one or two over-saturated genres because it makes for a safer bet. Which is a shame, because (especially after Absolution) Hitman could really make for a good video game movie. I can't believe that no director has yet to pick up on it's trademark dark humour and integrate it fully into the films...  :-\

WHY DOES THIS HAVE HITMAN

IT'S NOT HITMAN

IT'S A HITMAN COSPLAYER THAT GOT LOST IN A CON AND ENDED UP IN A MOVIE

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

(Seriously, WTF? I mean, as an action film it looks awesome - but why did it have to have HITMAN?)
