Re: Hitman...
hitman was absolutely cak, and by the way the last james bond was class!!!
Re: Hitman...
no I would disagree...ruined the cash cow that was James Bond with a bad imitation of Mission Impossible Turned the sex machine that is always on top of his game and always cool sharp and clever for some fuckin fagot that jumps around like a fuckin monkey and has nothing apart from his brutish strength to show.
Re: Hitman...
Hitman was ok. Thought the scene of him crashing into an apartment and the kids playing Hitman the game on tv was pretty cool.
Storyline was basically Le Femme Nikita/Point of No Return with a guy.

Casino Royale was more of a prologue to show how Bond became Bond. Him and his brutish strength was the diamond in the rough before he acquired the panache. That's why the opening theme was nothing like traditional Bond themes, and the signature riff only came at the end of the film. That's why Eva Green's character bought him a suit. That's why he ordered a martini without caring how it was done. But you're right, those trunks were fucking gay :roll::lol:
Re: Hitman...
you are smoking crack if you think that the last bond was worse than this. hitman was ok, a decent action movie, but nothing more. even though the chicks boobies were nice this movie was generic.
and as feather said above this is a remake of the first bond so he was just in his beginning stages back then. plus daniel craig was the shit in this, great freaking job as bond. i cant wait until the next one with him comes out. im sure he will stay serious and not to all the smug funnyguy bullshit that the previous bonds have done.
Re: Hitman...
Montenegro is nothing like it was showed in the film - no such trains as portrayed in the film, many parts don't even have basic utilities - many people cracked up laughing at those scenes
The whole beginning of the film i.e. the jumping part is a rip of of the French film "Banelieue 13" - [url]http://imdb.com/title/tt0414852/[/url] written by Luc Besson...I think its with the same actor who plays the bad guy in that scene.
You say its the beginning of James Bond and that is the reason he is rough around the edges...I presume that is just your theory because I don't think that is the case in the original Ian Fleming books.
I don't actually think either (Casino Royal - Hitman) of these films are ANY good. In my oppinion there isn't a single element (apart from the women perhaps) that is worth a nickel to see.I only said Hitman was better because I think Casino Royal is shit.
The ONLY good James Bond IMO is Dr. NO, Goldfinger and maybe Golden eye...the rest are forgettable. Nevertheless I would say that this last one ranks near the bottom of the pile.
I watched the last bond in a theater a while back...I can't really remember all the things I disliked about it but since I am in the process of re-watching all the Bond films (just finished with Shawn Connery, god damn is he old in "never say never again") I will naturally end with the "Casino Royal"
p.s. I think Casino Royal is probably the story with the greatest potential- shame it wasn't set in Monte Carlo and the role of JB given to a more suitable actor.
Re: Hitman...
Your original comment said it ruined the 'cash cow that was James Bond with a bad imitation of Mission Implssible,' and I assumed by 'cash cow' you're referring to the later Bond films with their heavy product placements. So we're saying the latest Bond film did not indeed ruin it, and is better than the previous pastiche of advertising.
And if you can't even tell from this Bond film and the clues that he was meant to be a diamond in the rough, including the end frame when he finally introduced himself as Bond, James Bond, then you're the fucking monkey.
That might not have been the premise of the original Flemming book, but this was what they chose to do with Craig's Bond. So what, you're saying it sucks because you're comparing Craig with Connery and because it deviated from the original Flemming? But you initially only referred to the Craig version runining the 'original cash cow.'
Re: Hitman...
By cash cow i mean basically repeating the same film over and over again. As every James Bond film is/was in essence the same.
It starts with bond on/finishing some unimportant mission, him returning to London and getting the main assignment. He goes wherever he needs to go prances about and snoops around till he gets noticed by the main bad guy. Talks to him, taunts him fucks his women and naturally pisses him of. He gets captured and escapes...in between or all through he shags fit women and makes witty comments. He always manages to elude those after him and doesn't seem to need to strain a muscle to get the job done. You (the audience) always knows he will get away and defeat the bad guys.
This one deviates from the original as in this one he seems to be over his head all the time. There is a lack of that famous Bond cool. He gets poisoned and dies (4 a moment) and gets into pretty fucked up car crash...there was more but I forget oh yeah how could I forget gets slapped on his balls!!! Anyway this is my opinion and I don't impose it on anyone...I did notice the line at the end and it just made me laugh - because after basically gluing the whole thing together with chewing gum throughout the film he now becomes transformed into someone else?
Re: Hitman...
Anyone care to name a better video game to movie transition?

Yeah but it was comic book before anything else so I don't think that answers the question.
Re: Hitman...
laura croft. angelina jolie. enough said.
Re: Hitman...
This movie sucked ass...plain and simple. It is in no way comparble to the last Bond movie. Hitman was a lifeless douche with a gun...Bond has been built over decades as a smooth secret agent no matter who played him. I think you are comparing class with trash...
Re: Hitman...
[quote=JK224;583569]Anyone care to name a better video game to movie transition?[/quote]
Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, fuck any movie prior to this one based on a video game was/is better.... I downloaded Hitman a few weeks ago because it had like 3980867 seeds. It was fucking [U][I]terrible[/I][/U]. Easily one of the worst movies I've seen. Actually I can't even say I've seen it because I stopped watching it after thirty excruciating minutes.
I do not recommend- unless you need to develop your tolerance for shitty movies for some reason.
Re: james bond comparison
Do not compare this to any movie other than Ishtar, Mr. Nanny, or anything starring Martin Short and/or Martin Lawrence.
Hitman and the aforementioned exist on level playing fields where there is room for debate.
Re: Hitman...
thought it was a crap film myself, big let down really.
Re: Hitman...
didnt really like it either!....hate the escene with the boys, when he crush the window! wtf!
Re: Hitman...
Saw it last night and thought it was entertaining. Not as good as Casino Royale or a Bourne flick, but still good.
Olga K was hot in this movie. I like my women a little on the trashy side. I can appreciate the way she doesn't mind nudity in her films. Tired of prudish actresses that won't take off their top or at least try to be sexy.
