Raithe Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6263818.html Well it looks like filmwise there's going to be a sequel... To be honest I thought the first one made a fairly decent film. It wasn't anything hugely brilliant, but it has to rate up there as one of the best video game to film adaptions.. It'll be curious to see if Timothy Olyphant does return with it as well... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Moose Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Wait, they made a first hitman movie? There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
Gorgon Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 It was terrible. Anyway just ignore the movies, some of the games are really good. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Moose Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 You ever seen that youtube video "how not to play hitman"? That was good. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
Hurlshort Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 The only reason it was watchable was Timothy Olyphant, so that is more important than the director.
Raithe Posted May 27, 2010 Author Posted May 27, 2010 It made back a little over triple the budget.. and that usually satisfies the producers.. Dougray Scott was quite decent as the Interpol agent. I thought they worked quite well together.. That and the whole bathtub sequence with Robert Knepper... the rubber duckie.. They did manage to put in quite a few iconic images from the games in the movie without making it look too forced. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Hurlshort Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 The semi-romance angle bothered me in the movie. I remember watching the whole thing though, so it must have been somewhat decent.
HoonDing Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Mortal Kombat will always remain the best video game movie. The recent Prince of Persia movie wasn't half-bad, but had absolutely nothing to do with the game. Same goes for that Dungeon Siege vehicle. Rule of thumb for video game adaptations: if you can't fit in Jason Statham as protagonist, don't even bother making it. Olyphant The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Moose Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Mortal Kombat might be the best video game movie, but Street Fighter will always have the finest bit of script writing in cinematic history: "You've lost your mind." "No! You've lost your balls..." Rivals Shakespeare. Edited May 27, 2010 by Moose There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
Monte Carlo Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 I saw the Doom movie, very drunk, eating pizza. It was great, although I think the triangulation of alcohol, fast food and late night sci-fi movie is significant. Plus Rosamund Pike is very pretty and The Rock is a likeable enough action hero.
HoonDing Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 ^I had a similar experience with the Dungeon siege flick. I had a similar experience with the Dungeon siege flick. The action scenes are entertaining enough & Jason Statham kicks enough ass through it. And there's Claire Forlani. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Orogun01 Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 So I should go see Prince of Persia drunk and/or stoned. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 Hitman Sequel.., gets another relatively unknown director.. As long as the director has a first and last name. never trust a director with one name: Pitof McG Kaos mink
