Hitman Movie Gets Really Bad Reviews

Hitman Movie Gets Really Bad Reviews

United States — 

The first couple of reviews for the Hitman movie have surfaced and things appear to look grim for the game-based flick. At the time of writing, movie critic site rottentomatoes.com lists 22 reviews. Three of them are good, 19 are bad. Here's a discreetly positive opinion:

There's enough intelligence behind it that you don't feel you're just waiting to hit the reset button.
-- Daniel M. Kimmel, Worcester Telegram & Gazette
And one of many bad ones:
Sluggish, humorless and pointlessly graphic, it will appeal to only the most desperate genre junkie.
-- Daniel Eagan, Film Journal International
You can get the full list of review quotes from rottentomatoes.com.

For me, rottentomatoes.com is worthless!
Movie critics are heavily biased.
The only site you can trust is imdb.com, but only after a week or so after cinema release.
Some people really do vote before they have seen the movie....
When the movie starts playing at cinemas, wait for a week and then look at the rating, then it should be 95% accurate.

Two come to mind: The first Resident Evil and Silent Hill.

Well, I guess it would help if the scriptwriters didn't always completely ignore the stories of the games they are purportedly making into movies. Having said that, Postal (the movie) wasn't all bad.

Edit: After having seen the title of this news for a few days now, I just now noticed that "Hitman" is missing a "t". o.O
