As with the first 'Hitman' movie, this one falls into the same trap. It's all over the top, constant action. Now, that's all well and good if you're into that sort of thing, but anyone going into these movies as fans of the games, prepare to be extremely disappointed. The entire point of the series of games was to remain unseen, only engage people when necessary, get in, eliminate the target, and get out again with minimal fuss. This (and the first) movie are the exact opposite. Obviously a ploy by the makers to cash in on the name and make a cheap buck off of fans of the games. Don't even get me started on the awful casting and the fact they couldn't even make 47 look completely bald, rather than just the shaved head look...
It's another 'Resident Evil' situation, for me. Instead of the taut, tense horror/thriller, we got CGI, over the top nonsense with zombies thrown in. They acquire the rights to these titles and make the worst possible movie versions.
Fassbender is up next in Assassin's Creed, at least he already brings some credibility to it, I hope they stay true to the source material, by God they need to.
