"Hot chick, your father did things and everyone wants you because of it." Haven't we heard this a few times already? Might still be a fun flick.

Clearly, the guy playing the game isn't very good at it.

Those were Marine uniforms, but yeah, I agree with the premise.

Eh, might be a popcorn flick at best.

That's not really a hard thing to do. Still, it does look fun.

I'm not a fan of this franchise. Bring on the Bioshock or Boarderlands movie.

Love the games, hated the first movie. The trailer for this one looks good, but so did the first one. Hopefully it'll turn out great, fingers crossed.

Good call, my mistake.

That scene stinks up the whole thing as far as I'm concerned. The characterisation of 47 is off, and the fact that it's basically been copy-pasted from other movies leads me to believe that the film as a whole is going to be generic and derivative. Also, I understand that you can't do a direct translation from a game to a movie, but the games have a really cool and interesting tone. A vibe that the first movie, and this one as far as I call tell, don't even try to replicate.

In the plus column, and I might be way off on this, but the trailer sort of implies that 47 may not be the protagonist, but more like a Terminator style character, who is in pursuit of the protagonist. I think that is a pretty good way to handle a character like 47. The Timothy Olyphant movie screwed up by making 47 a leading man, and in doing so turned him from hitman to bodyguard.

I also like that 47 is genetically engineered, even if the trailer doesn't mention whether he is a clone or not. That is one of the most interesting aspects of the game's plot, and the first movie softened that idea way too much.
