If the missions from Hitman movies were played on the video game, 47 would receive the rating of MASS MURDERER for most of them, which in Hitman is the equivalent of a large red F on your English test. In a properly executed Hitman mission... - Only the target dies. - Either his death appears accidental, or his body isn't found until later. - 47 uses stealth, disguises, and distraction to go unnoticed. - The overall scene is undisturbed to the end, as opposed to screams and fleeing civilians. That doesn't mean a Hitman movie can't feature the occasional blown mission that yields a high body count.

Now Muppet Haunted Mansion was good, which is probably why it wasn’t mentioned.

[@mikeaddison6651]

I really have to disagree and some of the comments also disagree too. Both Tomb Raider adaptations were good in their own right.

[@dave2132]

You can stop right there. Jolie's adaptations of Tomb Raider were incredibly entertaining. The second GI Joe was entertaining and the fight scenes were well done. Pryce and Stevenson were especially great. As were the first Hitman and the fun and campy Charlie's Angels movies. This video wasn't even worth watch. I just scrubbed through to see the titles.

U forgot tomorrow land

[@harryboyes2812]

I don't know what you're smoking, but tone it down. Most of these movies weren't bad. Never seen the fantastic four franchise or the rebooted Charlie's angels, so can't comment there.

[@michaelblaes9847]

Angelina Jolie didn't have any problems with InCel's for some reason. I wonder why? Maybe because it didn't suck! It didn't preach either.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

And 'incels' was not a thing.

[@anthonykoeslag]

Amazing how few of these movies I have even heard of. [EDIT] Men in tights was a good laugh :)

[@williamleslie4939]

1938's The Adventures of Robin Hood would like to have word with you about "the IP's best live action adaptation to date."

[@c0mpr3nd3]

You forgot they made a Charlie's Angels series between the two film attempts that only lasted one season because it couldn't make up its mind as to what genre it wanted to be.

[@zooropa04]

Timothy Olyphant's quote on Hitman reminds me of Michael Caine's immortal quote on Jaws 3 (I think it was that one)? He said something to the effect of, "I've never seen it, but I have seen the house it built, and I can assure you it's quite lovely."

As someone who grew up on resident evil movies and only later learned, there were even games. The movies are fantastic, just not if you try to watch them expecting what you get in the game.

Trial and error Keep trying till u get it right practice makes perfect right

Raul Julia's performance spares the first Street Fighter from being considered terrible.

[@deadpuddle86]

Whatculture used to do the research and have good opinions.. Not anymore I guess. Original Tomb Raider and Charlie's angels where great movies.. even the sequels! Wise up Whatculture.

[@Anthonycheesman2024]

Kiss the girls was good

[@jamesmcconnon8923]

The Muppets version of the Haunted Mansion was fun

[@eddya7894]

What a joke this is.... Critics, fans, historians and everyone in the world agrees (except for your recency bias) that THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938) with Errol Flynn was the definitive and greatest Robin Hood adaptation.... Men in Tights is good, but for you to omit the fact that 80 years ago Robin Hood was done the best (and often considered one of the best swashbuckler adventure films of all time) is a travesty. Your only job is to know movies, yet you act like there has never been a good Robin Hood adaptation???

[@astroturfmatador9119]

Street Fighter shouldn't have been on this list as it wasn't 2 different adaptions, but 1 adaption and a spinoff. Mortal Kombat should take it's place on the list.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

I like the first Mortal Kombat film.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

AVI ARAD made the 2005s FANTASTIC FOUR just as an excuse for him to sell toys The characters were shallow, the action was limited, and the story went nowhere

[@somejerkbag]

avi arad is the worst

[@dhenderson1810]

It was also made for Sony to keep the "Fantastic 4" licence.

[@mizrolist]

@@dhenderson1810 F4 was at Fox.
