Suspenseful action movie. The 3D quality was lacking a bit (near objects were a little bit blurred) and the caption was sometimes double. I think that was a problem of the cinema, though.

Oh my god, this was so good!!! They nailed it almost totally and I enjoyed it so much. While the credits where rolling I just wanted to start from the beginning again. They really captured the heart of the game and managed to bring it to a bigger audience.

I already love the Resident Evil Movies but can admit, that they do not have the same feeling like the games and are just random actioners. But the Assassin's Creed Movie, really felt like the game and also like a big movie.

If you love the franchise, go ahead and enjoy the movie.… Expand

I personally give full marks to everyone who contributed to this movie!

This movie was awesome for a person who knows setting and what is going on, I believe Ubisoft tailored this game towards the fans and not newcomers and in that they did an amazing job. I am left wanting to go see this movie again, Fassbender and his supporting cast played the hell out of their roles. I thought the revamped version of the "Animus" looked stupid in the previews and was very surprised it didn't bother me while watching and it in fact grew on me as I started to understand the change more. I loved the visuals and the setting. All that being said I believe the main cause for the bad reviews from some is the fact that they have not played the games and do not know the world, followed by Ubisoft shoving information from a game that lasts anywhere from 8-30 hours and has time to explain into a 2 hour movie and that may have confused some.
The character development was there and maybe some are used to long drawn out explanations that would have been considered boring in an awesome action flick like this, I felt I knew each characters role and where they were coming from.
I would implore anyone interested to give it a chance and go see it if you are a fan of the games or just really like a good action movie, its worth the time and money....which is surprising for a video game adaptation… Expand

But this movie is a great improvement and adds a lot of stuff to the lore. Many will disagree but for me this is the first succesful video game adaptation.

The best of the movie are without doubt the scenes in the past and Michael Fassbender as both Aguilar and Lynch. The worst may have been the ending, it looked a bit rushy. For the next one they should make it longer and with more blood, two things that a game like Assassin's Creed deserves on the big screen.… Expand

I've come all the way from the mystic land of IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes to spread the truth of this movie as a person who has actually played the games. Kinda goes to show how frustrated I am about this injustice...

As a lover of the Assassin's Creed universe, I find this a really enjoyable movie. I really don't understand all the hate. Maybe it's because people expect something bad and end up seeing only the flaws, especially since video game movies are usually really bad. I love how they depicted the life of modern day assassins; it fleshed it out very well, and it showed without hesitation what the Creed is about. The scenery is beautiful; the animus (though different) provides an immersion I appreciate; the fighting scenes are very similar to the combat experienced in the games (the climbing too! which is AWESOME); the ending makes sense if you've played the games. I admit that there are flaws like the movie focusing a lot more on the modern assassins rather than the ancestral ones (the games focus more on the ancestors if ya didn't know), but they are understandable changes considering the new audience. I think it would've been a little better with me if they treated the movie like another Assassin's Creed game. So basically, to a newcomer into the Assassin's Creed world, they will either get confused and hate the movie because they don't understand it, or they will experience it like one of Marvel's superhero movies, but with a strange emptiness similar to that of Ex Machina. For people who have played the games and don't enjoy it just for the thrills, I think you'll be very surprised at what the movie accomplished. I know I was.
Kinda funny how the movie's like "We work in the darkenss to serve the light" and that's exactly what it's doing in real life. Just goes to show what a good movie it is. xD

P.S. Totes buying this movie, bro. Gonna show my friends the light in the darkness. :D… Expand

These attributes are impressive alone even if you disregard the important political message laced through the film (I was not expecting that!). I guess the same people who gave this a 10/100 probably voted a 100 for bland, brain-sludge films like the new ghostbusters.

It's a love letter to the source material, and a treat for the fans, but, I can only assume, a confusing mess for others.
Me? I found it difficult to wipe the big fat smile off my face while Callum / Aguilar is racing through buildings, on rooftops, killing guards left and right before doing a Leap of Faith. All of the action is so well done and shot, full of practical effects and stunts, and a spectacular, fast paced style, reminiscent of the games themselves.
Now, I am not an idiot. This is a flawed movie, especially when it comes to its convoluted, disappointing story. There's no real stakes, there's no real enemy, just a very silly chase for an "apple", and characters - whether Templars or Assassins - you never end up caring about. And it's a shame - the games provide a great framework in which thousands of different stories can be told. I wish they crafted a better one.
But, in the end, what got me was everything else. The breathtaking action. The incredible cinematography. All the winks to fans. The weirdness of it all, an expensive weirdness the likes Hollywood has never seen before. (Seriously, name me another movie with a budget as high as this one that is so unconcerned with being mainstream).
Also, props to Justin Kurzel and his DP, Adam Arkapaw. After crafting the most beautiful "Macbeth" ever put on film, here they go again, proving they are among the most interesting visual filmmakers of these recent years.… Expand

Also, to those saying that most of it should be set in the past and not the present, do you really think making 99% of the film in the Spanish Inquisition and just having short five minute scenes in Abstergo would translate well into a movie? After all, it wouldn't be Assassin's Creed without the Animus and First Civilization lore, that's what make up Assassin's Creed, it's not just the hoods and hidden blades. I'm glad this stays true to its source material. It didn't shy away from the games deep and complex story.… Expand

They made the game's main plot points and ideas work in movie form, but they didn't go all out and copy the games. As a result this will feel different to the games, but I still enjoyed it.

Story - The movie is set in the same world of the video games on 2016. The main Protagonist is Callum Lynch that has connections with the Assassin Order that has been at war with the Templar's throughout centuries. Callum is forced to go onto the Animus, a machine that is programmed to relieve the subject ancestors memories through Genetic DNA. The lead of this project is Sophia Rikkin, a scientist that will lead Callum to one of the pieces of Eden known as the Apple of Eden for her order the Templars. One my person note I thought the story was thought out real well as it helped us connect Callums understanding of his purpose and the issues Sophia Rikkin was going through. The few problems with the story though is that the side characters introduced didn't have enough screen time to care and that the memories visited during the Spanish Inquisition weren't long enough to care for the Assassin Agulair. Setting- One of the few best things of the film was that it recreated the lore of the Assassin's Creed into perfection. Everything I saw felt natural as if it was nostalgia. The color of the film too created a atmosphere basing on the scenes that were shown. Acting- The acting was done well enough to help the viewer be entertained though there were some flat acting from the few associates of Callums and the Abstergo employees.

Overall the film was made well enough to make me entertained. It's not a film for everyone but I do recommend watching it to see for yourself if you like it or not. Some films don't deserve to be seen like After Earth but some other like this is deserved to be seen at least once.… Expand

EnDans les adaptations de jeux vidéo en films, on observe trop souvent le même phénomène : afin de râtisser le plus large possible, non seulement on balance la fidélité aux orties mais de surcroît on ne respecte pas l'oeuvre originale !

En outre, on déforme et on caricature l'histoire ici pourtant simple -fût-elle aussi peu crédible ou plus ou moins délirante- de la saga originale Assassin's Creed pour en faire quelque chose de... tout simplement ridicule, stupide et aberrant, embrouillé et grotesque.

Tout y passe à dire vrai, même les détails qui ne semblaient que détails mais qui pourtant avaient leur importance : ainsi l'Animus dans le film est un crève-coeur de tous les instants pour tout fidèle normalement constitué de la célèbre saga... voir l'Animus dénaturé en vulgaire réalité virtuelle de cirque de bas étage pendant tout le film, c'est tout bonnement inqualifiable !

Alors, on a à disposition une jolie distribution à la masse -comme souvent d'ailleurs- pour faire illusion (avec même Cotillard notre quiche nationale), on a des effets spéciaux qui semblent convenables mais noyés dans une fumée cache-misère des plus suspectes et on a enfin -on ne voudrait pas tirer sur l'ambulance mais tout de même...- une réalisation de fort mauvais aloi.

Le montage est trop nerveux, les effets spéciaux noyés dans la fumée (encore !), les rares plans corrects sont mal exploités et gâchés et la musique est très énervée, un peu comme nous d'ailleurs. Comment peut-on bousiller des millions et des millions dans une catastrophe pareille ? nous en perdons notre latin... et notre credo.… Expand

And the cast... well frankly I would say the stars are on par with speaking extras. With honorable exception of Marion Cotillard who did not Skype it in, but again the silliness of her script prevented her from improving this movie.

When Assassin's Creed was in the lead up to its release, it certainly seemed the film was primed to break the video game adaptation curse. Re-teaming Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard with director Justin Kurzel after the trioWhen Assassin's Creed was in the lead up to its release, it certainly seemed the film was primed to break the video game adaptation curse. Re-teaming Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard with director Justin Kurzel after the trio collaborated on 2015's Macbeth, it seemed a match made in heaven. One of the best films of 2015, Macbeth is so good that I loved it in spite of the stream having Chinese subtitles, which only worsened the fact that all of the characters had thick Scottish accents while spitting out Shakespearean English. It was hell, but a beautiful one at that. Assassin's Creed further establishes Kurzel as a brilliant visual director, but Assassin's Creed just seems to clunk along far too often and, as a result, its climax lacks the requisite power to make it all work together.

Based on the greatly popular video game series of the same name, Assassin's Creed introduces the concept of the Animus. Transporting its occupant to the past life of a direct ancestor, the device is being used by Sofia (Marion Cotillard) and her father Alan (Jeremy Irons). Attempting to find the Apple of Eden - in which the seeds of mankind's first disobedience were sown and where the key to controlling humanity's free-will is said to exist - the two find men and women with a link to a member of the Assassin's Creed, a group of assassins sworn to defend the Apple. By putting them into the Animus, the men and women experience events as seen and performed by their ancestors, which can lead to clues as to where the Apple is located. However, with Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender), they have their best opportunity. A direct relative of an assassin named Aguilar who operated in 1492 during the Spanish inquisition, he was the last man known to have possessed the Apple of Eden. Now, it is up to Callum to find out where he hid the apple. However, with Alan working for the Templars - the group that orchestrated the Inquisition and still seeks to control humanity - Callum and the other assassins must try to use their knowledge of where the Apple is to try and prevent the Templar from being able to use it against humanity. In other words, this film is complex.

Where it falters the worst, however, is the scenes in the modern day. Compared to the exciting sequences in 1492 Spain, the scenes in the modern day suffer from being both too long and too rushed. Dialogue, especially what is written for Moussa (Michael K. Williams), is always clunky. Scenes are either too exposition heavy and, thus, drag or they are too short and never really explain what is going on. For example, when the inmates revolt against Sofia and Alan while Callum is in the Animus, it is unclear throughout the sequence what is happening with no moment where they seem to plan it all out together. Instead, they are shown to be trying to kill Callum only to then fall in line and take orders from him shortly after. Aside from a brief bridge scene with his father Joseph (Brendan Gleeson), there is no moment where we see them all decide to revolt and then work with Callum. It is very odd and shows how underwritten some parts of the film are, compared to how overwritten moments of exposition are.

Where the film's rushed nature really hurts it is in the climax of the film. With the Templars possessing the Apple immediately after Callum revealed where it was, the scene of them finding the Apple is about ten seconds long. The whole film is about them to finding the Apple and when they finally get their hands on the thing, the film opts to just rush through everything leaving the film itself feeling abrupt, only worsened by its ending that is equally rushed and left open for a sequel. With the Templars celebrating their success and the Assassins interrupting, the scene of Callum and Alan in their final moment together happens in two seconds and lacks any sense of power or presence. It just happens and everybody moves on without reacting to what they just witnessed. The abrupt ending immediately after only worsens this with the film lacking a satisfactory ending in the name of setting up a sequel.

Yet, Assassin's Creed practically saves itself with the scenes in the Inquisition. Unique, engaging, and steeped in mythology, the scenes are absolutely excellent from a story perspective. Action-wise, the scenes feature the film's greatest fight choreography with an excellent usage of hand-to-hand combat, sword fighting, and improvisation with nearby elements on the set. Each fight scene is excellently staged and shows Kurzel's adeptness with battle scenes, as he had previously demonstrated in his debut, Macbeth. Both films really crescendo with their gorgeous action sequences and the scenes in this film nearly make up for the lack of power and intrigue found in the moments set in the modern day.… Expand

I wish they had played and completed all the game series, instead of just knowing the main plot. If you're an Assassin's Creed fan and you know the plot, basic facts about it, you'll dislike the movie.

Все дозволено." И да, в фильме не было ни одного действительно хорошо спланированного убийства(сцена в конце не считается: там столько тупости, что лучше б её вообще вырезали из фильма). Ассассины больше похожи на боевой монашеский отряд, а не на братство скрытных убийц.

It's got a nice balance of past/present footage. The parkour and combat is great, the cast features 3 great lead actors (Jeremy Irons, Marion Cotillard, Michael Fassbender) and Fassbender easily steals the show.

I do have to say the film has a few weak points, though. The film focuses on Callum/Fassbender so much but barely explains the series' lore which is common knowledge to gamers, the ancient civilization is merely mentioned in one sentence and then forgotten, and the history lesson is kept to an absolute minimum. It would have been great to have a bit more of all those things in the final movie.

I hope there is a sequel that builds upon the first movie while correcting its flaws.… Expand

As a big fan of the games (been playing them since the first one) I can say this is definitely disappointing, although it doesn't say a lot that at this point I expect video game adaptations to be bad. But even thinking that, this is pretty bad. A story that supposedly adapts the games very well, only that makes the Templars look like the dumbest evil organization ever, a main character that I'm still not sure if he is supposed to be good, bad, or anything in between. A wooden supporting cast that I can't name one, and special effects that are worse than some TV shows, and changes or absences from the games that really either make no sense (like the Animus) or just infuriating (no Eagle vision? Really?!!). So all in all, I would have liked it if this movie was good, but I'm not surprised that it's not, and all things considered, I'm glad I didn't pay to watch in theaters. Everything may be permitted, but this movie should have been the exception. Nothing to see here, move along.… Expand

While it does has a few positive points, it still has some major flaws that outweigh those positive aspects. The main thing that this movie excels at is the action. The action's fast, fun and well-directed. However, the action sequences mainly take place in the past sections of the movie, that make up about 35% of this movie's length. But that percentage is disappointingly low, considering that the Assassin's Creed games are known for their epic historic stories, and not for their mediocre 'present' stories. And also the 'past' sections' story is very thin, since these sections are filled with non-stop action scenes. The other 65% of the movie takes place in the 'present', and the present sections are terrible. They're slow, they're dull and they're so poorly-executed. The characters lack character development and, in the end, I didn't really care for any of them. Assassin's Creed is a movie that takes itself way too seriously, and because of that, it lacks charm, resulting in a painfully boring experience.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Assassin's Creed the Movie... a general "meh".

Today we got to go see Assassin's Creed in the theater. We decided to avoid the 3D and just go to a standard showing. We had heard a lot of people didn't like it, and the extra money or headache from watching 3D wasn't worth it.

I do have to say it isn't as bad as other video game movies. Also let's say I am sometimes not the pickiest as evidenced by my desire to go see Resident Evil this year.

I was a bit disappointed. I think they could have done more with it. The actors, especially Michael Fassbender did fine. The action was really good. Let's be honest that is what most people go to see it for. The plot and the actual movie quality itself where the problem.

The plot tried to do too much, especially for those who aren't familiar with the game and the intricate plot there. Michael Fassbender's character and the doctor's characters both went through "will they/won't they" moments. Would they be bad, would they be good. In the end I still couldn't figure what the doctor was doing. Did she stay with the Templars or did she want to join the Assassins?

The biggest issue though was the quality of the movie itself. It was so dark of a film, not a gritty dark violent movie, I mean a seriously the film is so dark I can't tell who is who on inside scenes. Both the hubby and myself couldn't see what was going on and I personally was worried I was going blind or something, but no, the film was dark itself. I can't tell if the dark was because of filming for 3d or a stylish choice, either way, no good!

The good: Very cool fight scenes, the actors actually were decent for this level of movie.

The bad: plot twists, and how dark the actual projection of the movie was.… Expand

If you have an engaging storyline in the source material, it shouldn't be wildly difficult to make a movie out of it. We have seen a lot of incredible comic book and superhero movies. Why cannot we have a great video game movie?

Good : Somewhere around the middle of the movie, Fassbender breaks the fourth wall and says "what the **** is going on?" which summarizes the entire film. Bad : Michael Fassbender is taken in a quest of revisiting the memories of his great (raised to power 18) grandfather using the weirdest and the most absurd things, which are too absurd even for the needlessly absurd movies like this. Plus, after all that dance offs or action sequences or whatever there is a least interesting build up to the least interesting twist. Probably, the makers thought the best way to utilize the CGI was to create dust sequences and that annoying bird. The action sequences were too boring. It tried to be a "historical epic" of some kind and failed every bit. And, those spirits crossing over were something that the movie didn't try to explain. And whatever happens towards the end is plain vague. The most nonsensical part. It feels like as if Michael Fassbender did this movie because he (as Magneto) couldn't travel back in time in X-Men: Days of Future Past. This is the one of the worst "quest for something", epic and sort of time travel film ever made.

Conclusion : Yet another addition to the long list of whacky video game adaptations. In short, almost 20 minutes of English + shabby script + dust sequences (I don't know what you call that) + ripped off action sequences of Prince of Persia + confusing direction + boring performances = this movie. It was literally vague and shallow. Total waste of time. .

The way this sentence lands essentially summarizes everything you need to know about this movie - its plot is atrociously messy, and like many movies based on video game franchises, it does an incredible disservice to the engaging world it arose out of. If you want to be simultaneously bored and frustrated while perhaps laughing at a scene or two for all the wrong reasons, I highly recommend this movie.

So When I heard they were going got make a movie that is based on the Video Game that is set in the same universe but has an original story that expands the series, not gonna lie I was hyped up and thought to myself, they can't mess this up and if they're going to change the lore, change the lore in a very interesting way. Then I saw the movie, and oh boy, was I extremely disappointed. First of all, they made Michael Fassbender's character look like a complete idiot, and I love Michael Fassbender. They made the Animus a Stretching arm thing that made me think that the Director did not play the game. The Special Effects are garbage, especially in the past sequences, which BTW this movie focuses more on the Present than in the past, which is really stupid because, in the games, they focus more on the Past than in the Present. The only good thing about this movie is the Parkour, and that's it. Thank god the Sequel got canceled because the movie is already ruined. If you're interested in the series and if you are going to watch the movie first before playing the games, play the games first like play 1 through Black Flag, your find yourself having a good time playing the games, and if your curious about the movie, I will say watch the movie at your own risk. If you have already seen the movie without playing any of the games, and you liked it, I still say go check out the games still because it's worth your time. In the end, this movie is not considered canon and is a crime to all fans of the series.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The way it was being announced sounded really promising. Its trailer was a masterpiece, the fact that it used its original Assassin and original setting instead of milking the popularity of Altair/Ezio, being the highest budget for any video game movie etc. I thought finally this film shall be what changes the video game movie genre once and for all. But it didn't. Here's a list of all the problems I think this movie had.

The movie couldn't even decide who it is for. First they explain obvious things to the audience, like what the Animus is and what the Assassins and Templars do, but then they don't tell us many things we want to know, like why the Apple of Eden is important, what the bleeding effect is or the fact that Cal got desynchronised after performing a Leap of Faith (it looked more like he got injured from the jump). So they bored the fans of the game and confused the ones who haven't played it.

The only thing the ancestor was shown doing was assassinating a man while riding a horse cart, and saving himself from being hanged. That's it. They could have shown so many things - How Aguilar was born, how his upbringing was, how he became an Assassin, how he met that woman who died and why he got so emotional when she died, how he ended up getting caught because of which he was being hanged, what was the aftermath after he escaped and gave Columbus the Apple of Eden, and how he knew the Templar in the horse cart.

Sure they wanted to make everything original, but it would have been great if they decided to add some veteran characters in the cameos. It would have been more fun to see Shaun and Rebecca helping Cal to get out than that boring prison break scene, or if he got hold of the Apple of Eden and killed everyone around him like how Desmond did it in III (it would have been a great reference).

The Animus they introduced also made it so much more confusing. They could have just made the Animus lift him in the air and keep him still instead of moving around. It made the audience wonder what will happen if he runs straight or performs a leap of faith. And the movie answers both the questions by... ... not answering them!

Of course this film is not a complete disaster like how all video game movies before it were. There are a few things I liked about this film. They used their own Assassin. Had they wanted they could have made a crappy Altair origin story or a boring version of Ezio story and milked their popularity. But they took the risk of bringing up a new Assassin, one whom we had never heard of before.

The entire trait of the Assassin was limited to this one film. Nothing to be learnt before watching the film, nothing to know afterwards. This movie is completely standalone, unlike high budget cash grabbing movies nowadays which are made only to create a franchise.

The film took place in Spain. Until now the Assassin's Creed franchise had covered almost all famous European countries - Britain, France, Italy, Portugal, Russia. By now Greece and Scandinavian countries have also joined. But the elephant in the room, Spain, had still not been addressed, even though it was a great place to show.

The visual appeal. Right from where they show a burning Madrid with an eagle flying over it to where Aguilar performs a leap of faith, everything was exciting. I gotta admit, they showed the ancestor very nicely. They should have focused on him more than the modern day.
They knew what translates well into the screen and what doesn't. That's the reason why they didn't dive deep into the game mechanics. They just gave an overview to the audience showing what the series is all about, even if they didn't explain things well and stated the obvious. This way it is possible to pave way for a film franchise if they want.… Expand

The protagonist. He's shown to be just an aggressive lunatic who always chooses to kill or get enraged irrespective of what the choices are. In the original story Desmond was a calm, everyday guy. The leap of faith. They aren't supposed to jump into frozen lakes with ice at the top. The leap of faith ends on a large stack of hay. Jumping onto a frozen lake from a very great height was another lunatic move.

The eagles that are flying all around. They are used to denote the ancestors becoming aware of their surroundings. In the game the eagles are only shown when the ancestor climbs up a very tall structure and takes a detailed look all around. In the movie they are just flying around at random times without any explanation for why they are being shown.

The main character's angry and rashful manner is what plummets the whole movie. You might as well have declared him to be an escaped convict from an Asylum and his behavior would still have remained the same. In the real story Desmond is caring, curious, he asks questions, he doesn't trust but doesn't react either. He takes his time to decide aka he's more rationale.

As for the fight sequences horrible! horrible! horrible! The Assassins carry dart knives which they throw with a pin-point deadly accuracy. In the movie they throw it in a fraction of a second and the visuals immediately cut to someone falling somewhere else. That's retarded. You have to show the brilliant aim they take, the flight of the dart, and whom they killed. In the original since they carry a limited supply of dart knives they don't just kill random people like that. They kill very strategically.

Mass murdering vs assassinating. This is another big failure in the movie. In the original series the Assassins move very very secretly and they camouflage into the crowd, they hire girls, or throw coins on the road to cause distraction. The eavesdrop on conversations to understand what's going on inside a palace. The whole sneaking deal to avoid all the guards. They ONLY assassinate the target which is why they have a hidden weapon in their arms - for a silent kill. And they avoid raising a crowd at all costs. In the movie however, there is NOTHING called as sneaking. The Assassins are basically like a game with some cheat codes applied. They kill hundreds of people single-handedly before they kill their target.

The graphics and sets were very beautiful though. But the whole thing about wearing a hood and hiding, camouflaging yourself is lost.

The last thing is the Animus. In the original series the Animus is a machine where you are seated and you get connected to. That makes sense. However, in the movie the animus is a machine which allows you to jump around and move about just like your ancestor was moving. The whole thing just looks retarded. Suppose your ancestor was climbing a very tall building. Then that cannot be simulated in the movie Animus because the range is limited. Overall there was NOT a SINGLE SILENT KILL. Horrible movie! It's a stain on the name of the Assassin's Creed series.… Expand

They could have skipped the whole part of the movie and save a lot of time and money. In fact it would have been a lot better just to jump right into things rather than get a junk back story that could have been explained in a few sentences rather than multiple scenes.

The plot itself was pretty basic and similar to the first AC game. Using the Animus and going back in time was boring though. The Animus parts were all action and no story while the real world parts were all acting and no action. There should have been a blend of the two. The Animus parts were really boring imo. I didn't care for the action scenes at all, Did not care for the directing all through out the film either.

I think that's what disappoints me. The director only had 4 films under his belt, All of which were low budget films. He doesn't have any experience with action films or big budget films so I think they went wrong there. They should have gotten someone who was familiar with making films like this to helm it.

Honestly, There isn't a single good thing about the film. Total miss-use of the incredibly talented cast, A lot of waste of a license as this could have been a break out series. Instead, It's just another excuse as to why we shouldn't make a video game based film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this is a movie with a good cast, a good director, no story, empty characters, no coherence and ultimate corruption of the games lore. Game movies are known to be less that good , but still there usually "ok" at least and if their not they usually make those that have played the games in question feel a bit nostalgic, or those that haven't feel sort of interested by the story that was already covered in game, but this , this is just bad. personally I think that the animus in the movie is, ridiculous, annoying and just takes away from the feeling of watching the game of assassins creed and I know there has been controversy over the chair , people say that they changed it to come across better in a movie were it has to have more of an impact but , the matrix interface was just that , a grey , steel chair and I think that we can all agree that the matrix was received... well, to say the least. the fun in the games was in the animus and the story in it. the fact this the movie concentrated on the real life abstergent just wasted the good and interesting lore of the games. conclusion: this is a bad movie that ruins the games lore, waists good assets(actors , directors, ect), hollows out characters ( main and side) and focuses on the wrong plots in the story.

Assassins Creed is really the film I expected to be much better than it was, but it really just adds to the list of poor video game adaptations that boast the possibility of sequels but whose which will likely sit in developmental hell for the next few years before being outright cancelled. It’s a real shame because the cast are actually doing a pretty good job but they can’t fix the inane plot which feels underwhelming and incomplete plus some brilliant stunt work has been ruined by incredibly awful editing which never allows you to fully appreciate the effort that has gone into it. There is one thing I will say in its favour, a lot of care and effort has been put in to the costume design and the set design. This really looks like Assassins Creed, the problem is, it doesn’t have the feel of it and it’s not just down to the fact that we have got a new stupid design for the animus which feels completely unnecessary just there to add extra effects. It’s a mess, pure and simple and I am sad to say that because I really wanted to love this film. I think some fans of the game might get something out of it, but I think for most people, this is one they should avoid, trust me, there are a lot better films coming out. I don’t think the 3D will add much so if you do go and see it, check out the 2D version.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Poor movie, I played the first few assassins creed games and they had a much deeper story and revolved around stealth, blending in ..etc, the animus made no sense in the movie, in the game you are connected to it laying down, you "become" the character, this movie is like he is both playing out the actions of the ancestor but still fully aware, much of the movie felt like slow motion, I found it hard to stay awake, little to no dialog in much of the scenes, the fighting scenes were poorly done camera cuts everywhere, ropes, pulleys & other inhuman reflexes, nothing stealth just random killing, another poor direction is the PG-13 rating, the game is rated M, the movie PG-13 why? no blood, no violence, how can you decide to make an Assassin movie with no violence - also now kids who watch this movie that's rated PG-13 will want to play a M game - smart move. rating should be consistent with the game at-least. on a plus side, I thought the backgrounds and much of the effects were well done, but it's not enough to save this movie, most of the main actors were good with acting which was probably hard to do with a poorly written script and no support character.… Expand

comme pour Desmond, Fassbender est le sujet qui permettra aux templiers d'imposer leurs volontés.

le film propose ce qui a fait le succès de cette IP et utilise tous ce qu'il peut pour mettre à l'aise les initiés. je n'en dis pas plus.

la plus part des scènes d'actions se passent dans l'animus, le passé (espagne 1492) et en espagnol sous titré, qui représentent bien plus d'1/4 du film...plus dans les 3/7 et présente l'intrigue, les protagonistes dans le bâtiment d'abstergo de madrid. comme pour la trilogie Desmond, la pomme d'eden est l'objet convoité par les templiers.

l'interprétation mécanique de l'animus n'est pas vraiment surprenante dans le sens ou l'acquisition des compétences du crédo s'apprennent pendant la synchronisation avec son ancêtre. dans l'ensemble, le film alterne le rythme de narration et essaye d'approfondir le contenu en peu de temps pour arriver aux moments que les spectateurs attendent le plus. le rendu est très correct mais dans l'ensemble, les scènes manquent d'espace, car le cadrage manque d'envergure et les plans sont dans l'ensemble plutôt serré. seul les interventions (trop nombreuses) du fameux rapace présentent de jolies traveling.

pour la bande son, je trouve qu'elle accompagne bien le film mais manque réellement d'identité à défaut d'être très percutante.

sinon, le film, est franchement pas mal, sans pour autant être transcendant, mais j'ai bien retrouvé l'âme du jeux vidéo (premier du nom) qui m'avait emballé à l'époque. rien n'est parfait, mais pour un premier essai, je trouve que UBI a réussi l'exercice.

One of the much anticipated film of the year. It was a long wait for this film to see a light. I mean ever since the trend had started from the video games to the big screen, this one was a bit late to come into the party. My guess was, that's the disadvantage. The film fanatics thinks, there are too many graphics films. Besides, they did not pick the right screenplay for it like EA did for 'Need for Speed'.

I have never played this game, so I was not expecting it like the others, but I'm surely disappointed with the film. I had no idea about the characters or the universe, it sets in. After watching the film I thought why this game is so famous where I did not find this film any good. Yep, it's not fair to compare two different formats. But the fact will remain that the film was one of the worst among big titles releasing on this year.

I thought it was like 'Matrix', but more a periodic style action- adventure. I think the cast was good and the rest of the film was not. What I disliked the most was the smoky visuals. Yes, all the scenes with the ancient Spain was very smoky atmosphere that I had hard time to have a clear picture of what's going on. I hope there won't be any sequel to it, but if they do plan, I expect a miracle that erases all the bad image created by this part. The film is watchable, but not likable or enjoyable. Only for time pass.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Believe it or not the movie is actually good, at the very least decent and pretty damn entertaining and a fun watch. The story follows new character callum and his ancestor exploring 1400 era Spain and the search for the Apple of Eden. It is as far as I know unrelated to the game series featuring a new story and newly designed abstergo and their animus. Without spoilers I will say that the modern day elements are way more fleshed out than the actual memory segments are an unlike in the later games I found it a joy to watch as callum's story unfolded. Not to say the memories are bad as they sport impressive action sequences but that's mainly all they are there for the story of the assassin ancestor is bare bones with one note characters that despite them being badass assassins, I didn't really care for because I didn't get to know them very well. Aside from that and a bit of story fumbles it was actually a good adaptation that is nowhere near as bad as critics made it out to be. I recommend it to fans of the series and maybe even newcomers interested in the movie. It's not perfect but it's a damn good action movie that's a fun watch just don't expect a great story. 7/10… Expand

Now that I've seen it, I wish I DID see it in theaters. This is probably the best video game adaptation since the first Resident Evil, maybe ever. That's not saying much, but I would rate it a solid "Good". While some of the effects seemed low budget, and I had major issues with the sound design, otherwise it was a great action movie that had really good pacing. It also helps that the leads were all played by great actors, which really grounds the movie.

Just goes to show that critics will crap all over video game movies no matter what, yet will give artsy fartsy movies top billing. I see movies for their entertainment value, and this one is worth a watch.… Expand

La película es mala en todos los sentidos, muy lenta y densa durante todo el transcurso de la cinta, los personajes no terminan de convencer, y encima es un historia totalmente diferente a los juegos, (más o menos vendría a ser como un juego nuevo, como estuvo haciendo Ubisoft durante los últimos años). No entiendo como no apostaron a adaptar la historia de Desmond a esta película, porque la verdad la actuación de Michael Fassbender es excelente, y no solo por parte de Fassbender, todo el cast es excelente, simplemente un cast perfecto enteramente desaprovechado. Se supone que la historia se relata en su mayoría en momentos del antepasado del protagonista, pero en este caso no es así, y si haces una compilación de cuanto duraron esa escena no creo que lleguen ni siquiera a 15 minutos, es una estafa, como fanático me siento decepcionado. Estuve a punto de salir de la sala, pero por respeto a mis amigos con los que fui a ver la peli me quedé, y encima al salir mis amigos pensaban en retirarse también, osea que todos concordábamos. Hasta ahora una de las peores películas de lo que va el 2017, y me da pena que hayan desaprovechado este gran cast de actores en una película así.… Expand
