The new Hitman movie, Hitman: Agent 47, isn't very good. At least that's what critics' early reviews of the film, in theaters tomorrow, are saying. And though the reviews differ on the details of what precisely was most offensive about this adaptation, there's an underlying themౠe to most critiques: it's hollow, and plastic.

"All of its materials feel utterlyꦇ and depressingly synthetic, right down to the most basic ingredients of almost any ♓violent B-grade action movie: cars, blood, and fire, which all get the bad-CGI treatment," Jesse Hassenger of The AV Club.

Time for some rapid-fire quotations: "A decidedly more plasticize🐼d version of the same old story." () "Comes across like a facsimile of a facsimile, a blurry reenactment of a knockoff." () "Never ... more impressive than a 108-minute Audi commercial." () "Less about characters and actors than about dubious surface da﷽zzle." ()

You get the idea. By now it's no surprise that a movie adapted from a video game is getting negative reviews. We've come to expect that they won't be very good. As the reviews for Hitman show, crafting an adaptation of a video game to film takes more than scraping the surface for names, places and excuses for dual-wielding. It's a little sad that the gaming community still, two decades after the Super Mario Bros. Incident,❀ does not have a movie on which to hang our hats and say, "Yes, this. This one is good."
