Worst rated video game movie ever?
Awful Adam Sandler tax dodgePixelsflirted with a 0%positive reviews yield on film aggregate Rotten Tomatoes last month, but eventually stumbled all the way up to a more respectable 16% positive rating.
So obviously these things change as more reviews, particularly ones from folks who didn’t get advance screenings, roll in. Still,Hitman: Agent 47, released today, already has 48 reviews in (Pixelsis at 141 after the month) and it is sitting at a laughable 6% positive at time of writing.
Further fun with numbers: sorted by Rotten Tomatoes curated “Top Critics,”Pixelshas a 9% positive in 32 reviews,Hitman: Agent 47a 5% positive in 19 reviews, so that’s liable to stay under.
Note that I definitely laughed in disbelief when I learned — just last week or so — that, “they’re making another fuckingHitmanmovie?!”
Also note thatHitman(2007), which is also bad, has a 14% positive review rating on Rotten Tomatoes. CanAgent 47overtakeHitmanas more reviews pour in? Maybe it falls right in betweenPixelsand the first, ignored film.
This would be fun to watchtotally legallyat PAX Prime,maybe. We did that withDOA: Dead or Aliveat E3 2012, I believe. But this probably isn’t “so bad it’s amusing to riff about” so much as it is horribly dull and bad.
Straight Outta Comptonlooks good, at least. AndCop Carwas good! Kevin Bacon’s turn as a bad creep basically post-Baltohas been the correct career trajectory.
