25 Predictions For This Summer's Rotten Tomatoes Scores

24. Hitman: Agent 47 (9%)

Predicted Critical Consensus: "Preposterous yet curiously taking itself far too seriously, Hitman: Agent 47 effortlessly lives down to the low expectations of most video game adaptations." Is anyone really expecting this second attempt to adapt the classic video game franchise to be any good? The first trailer destroyed all hope for many fans, as it steered away from the stealthy thrills of the games, relying instead on absurd, CGI-driven mayhem (with bad CGI at that), which just isn't what Hitman has ever been about. In fairness, most critics won't have played the games so won't care too much about that, but even on its own terms, there's not much here suggesting anything more than a dumb action flick that nevertheless completely lacks self-awareness.
