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.

I was totally hyped until I've read the first critics reviews and was really scared to be disappointed. After the first user opinions I was a bit calmed down but now after watching the movie...

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.

It has been 13 years since I exited a movie, in like fashion of the movie just watched, but I had to take a small leap of faith, more than half way up the movie theater, to show my admiration of this movie! I personally give full marks to everyone who contributed to this movie! Also if you are expecting over 60-120 hrs of gameplay to be implimented in a 2 hour movie, then you are just being stupid!I, for one, envy Mr. Fassbender's role! Expand

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

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.

DON'T LISTEN TO ALL THE HATE GUYS!! READ PLZ.

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

The film was visually stunning, acting was sublime, cinematography ground breaking and original. 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. How unfortunate there are so many uneducated people out there with the mental retention for nothing. This was truly a masterpiece. Expand

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.

This is a film adaptation that is aimed towards those who have a significant amount of knowledge of Assassin's Creed. Those who haven't played the games won't understand what this movie is all about and what it's going for.

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.

I went and saw it with a person who never heard of the games and they still understood it and enjoyed it a lot. And while this movie shares a similar plot to the games, it is not accurate to the games at all. This movie is it's own thing, and I appreciate that. 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. Overall, it was a pretty decent movie. Expand

I thought this movie was a fine made film for Assassin's Creed fans and audiences that want a decent action flick. There were a few problems with it but I believe my money was well spent.

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.

Sure, it's not the greatest film ever, but still it's a very nice introduction to the Assassin's Creed franchise for those who haven't played the games. 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.

j'ai trouvé le film vraiment pas mal. il nous mène dans l'ambiance du premier assassin's creed (le jeux) et les labos abstergo sur le projet animus.

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.

suite au prochain numéro.

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

I skipped this movie in theaters because of it's horrible critical reception. I basically wrote it off as one more bad video game adaptation.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review will contain minor spoilers about elements of the story and movie but will not spoil the story itself.

There are positives and negatives to this movie as one would assume, there are with any movie. I had to create an account to defend the movie because I feel it gets a bad wrap even though it's a good start for Ubisoft deciding to take one of it's biggest franchises and go to the big screen with it. Let's start with what they missed then we'll end with what they did good

For starters, the way they portray the animus in the movie is not what I would have expected or wanted. As the trailer shows they portray him in this large machine which has never appeared in any of the games. I could look past this if the movie didn't remind you multiple times each fight scene in the animus that he is strapped to some machine on the outside. Here comes a fight scene, going good and quick 2 second cut to show he's still in, more fight, cut to machine, more fight, cut to machine, etc. It's very annoying and after the first fight in the animus we wouldn't have to see it again because we understand he moves in life while in the simulation.

Second, they take a lot of time outside the animus to explain the story and plot so the viewer knows what it's about, for seasoned players of the franchise we all know what it's about but for a newcomer to it they need the story, it's a necessity but it's still a little annoying that the story has to be re-told again, hopefully it wont be that way in the second film (I'm assuming they will make another).

Third, honestly, I with the movie was a bit longer, I think they wont need it with more iterations but more time could have meant more animus time to see the Spanish inquisition and fight scenes. Now let's do the positives because there is a lot this movie does well

First off the fight scenes are amazing, very well choreographed. The sword fighting, the arrows flying, the throwing knifes in mid-air the rooftop jumps. Oh baby, it is the best! It is EXACTLY what the franchise is about and they really nailed it. From the build up as the assassin's creep through the crowd to the final sword blow you keep your eyes on it for every second and I love that. Second, the characters are likeable and they don't take away from the movie. There's friendly banter in the movie which will give you a chuckle or laugh but it's not a comedy and there isn't an excessive amount of it which is good that they kept to the serious tones of the movie.

Third, the weapons they all use are exactly what you'd find in the assassin's creed universe which is great because all those cool kill moves you do in game you get to see on film which makes the movie flow with the game franchise and likewise the assassin's creed universe. Fourth, they portrayed the bleeding effect very well, it's very much like what you'd find in one of the games. Lastly, the movie ends just like one of the games would with a great climactic ending and that helps to finish the movie off greatly.

Overall, it is a good movie, not bad at all for the first go, there's a lot of story build up for people who are not familiar with the franchise and I understand and hope it will change in the future movies. But they got many thing right with the movie like the fight scenes that are just awesome to watch. Overall it's a 7.5/10 for me. Can't wait to see how the next one will go.

By coming to Metacritic I'm assuming some of you are gamers and want this movie to be good. Well fret no longer. I will explain my experience in detail without spoilers and why it is so good. So here goes. The reasons reviews were so low was because the storyline to the movie is NOT the same as the storyline to any game. That being said, this NEW story is not about Desmond, Ezio or any of the older characters in the Assassins Creed universe. However, it is about a new character called Callum Lynch (Cal) and his experiences in trying to help Abstergo in trying to find Ezio's Apple of Eden- and they do an excellent job (I actually even managed to hear claps from the audience by the end while walking out.) The fight scenes were excellent, and so were the Villains and the Abstergo workers that each created a nice atmosphere. The only problem I have is the title. It should not have been called "Assassins Creed" because it was a new expansion to the universe. I would have rather preferred "Assassins Creed: Callum and the Apple of Edan" because the first 5 minutes I was looking for Desmond and was confused.

Regardless this did not ruin my experience and I would VERY much love for a sequel. Thank you and if you are a Gamer or an Assassins Creed Fan. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie :)

Truth be told, I went to the cinema with mixed feelings - quite frankly, I didn't like the idea of moving Animus, and the music in the trailer was terrible. Yet, I was pleasantly surprised. The moving Animus fits the film incredibly well. In a way it makes the training/improving skills of the descendant by Animus exposure much more believable. In my opinion, the film is more appreciated by those who know and play(ed) the games before. Why? For example, because my friend asked me after the end of the film: "Why was the bird there all the time?" Well, how to answer that... Expand

Purists who expect the movie to be a 1-to-1 adaptation of the games, or a sequel to the series will be disappointed, it is not. However, it does a masterful job of condensing a universe created during five 80-hour-apiece games into a singlePurists who expect the movie to be a 1-to-1 adaptation of the games, or a sequel to the series will be disappointed, it is not. However, it does a masterful job of condensing a universe created during five 80-hour-apiece games into a single 2.5 hour movie. This does mean the exposition needs to come quickly, but not overwhelmingly quickly.

The plot is reminiscent of the first game, for the most part, but is split more evenly between the past and the present. While riveting, the effect comes not from suspense and unexpected twists, but more from the beautifully choreographed fight scenes of Aguilar's mission that cut back to the present to show the Animus's ethereal recreation of the memories as they play out. The possibility of sequels is left open, but all the immediate plot points are resolved, which makes the movie viable as an independent piece as well.

Visuals play a big part in the movie, from the squalid slums and artistic castles of the past to the clean, technocratic Abstergo compound, they are all perfectly executed. CGI is there, naturally, but it fits the rest of the movie and is not jarring or out-of-place. If seen in 3D, the depth is natural and greatly aids immersion during the fight and escape sequences,
The Animus and its execution deserves separate praise: though starkly different from the game's sleek, user-friendly device, the mechanical contraption moves with a fluidity that makes it look surprisingly graceful and fitting for the ethereal recreations of the protagonist's memories. Some might find the overlay sequences (where the Animus chamber is shown with the memories being projected) blurred and hard to see - I'll admit I had to focus as well, but I found the effect to be fitting for the ethereal nature of the memories, and on some level, the machine itself.

The soundtrack does a great job of not being there overtly. There are intro and ending pieces ... and that seems to be it. During the movie, the entire score seems to be absent, it feels more like ambience than actual music being used to underpin the action.

The combat scenes are what carry the movie: the choreographers captured the fighting style of the game's assassins faithfully, and succeeded where even many players did not - proper use of the iconic Hidden Blade. The graceful, acrobatic moves of the Assassins stand in stark contrast with the opponents' clumsy, brute-force approach; while during the escape sequences, the Assassins make full use of their environment, just as the games encourage the players, climbing, vaulting, and hopping with practiced grace.

There is not much to be said for negatives. I DID miss the game's Eagle Vision (the Assassin equivalent of clairvoyance that allows them to discern their target and discover hidden patterns in the world around them), I hope we'll get to see its debut in the next movie. The Apple's power could have been expanded upon as well (it is used as a weapon and a tool several times in the games), but this is likely something that is reserved for a sequel.

All in all, I would say that the film is an exceedingly well-done adaptation, not of a game series, but of a universe. The plot does not follow the pre-established story, but creates its own, and while somewhat exposition-heavy, the difference of duration between the originals and the film must be kept in mind.
I would recommend it to anyone who likes action films or the game series without a second thought.

Assassin's Creed is by no means a perfect film. In places it falls flat, in other places it feels scared and lacks confidence in itself and the story overall isn't anything special or memorable.

In places it falls flat, in other places it feels scared and lacks confidence in itself and the story overall isn't anything special or memorable. However, the cinematography, the costumes, the world that has been created is stunning. It feels like Assassin's Creed and does the games justice in that aspect. Several sequences in the film take your breath away with how action packed and bad ass they feel and the casting suits the film perfectly. A lot of people were sceptical about the new animus and how that would work. But I must say it was brilliant, it translates perfectly to film and just makes the action sequences that much better. I would say that if you are an Assassin's Creed fan you will watch it and most probably enjoy it for what it is. A lot of people seemed to have jumped on the hate band wagon and not given it the reviews it deserves. I would watch it again as I definitely enjoyed it and would even welcome a sequel. I think they tried to play it safe with this film and some of it paid off, some of it really didn't.

At the end of the day, they had a hard job. They had to please the fans who know the games as well as pleasing people who are new to the Assassins Creed universe. Finding that balance is difficult and when you get torn between pleasing both parties you either end up with on screen magic, or a confusing and poorly explained couple of scenes. This film did both of the above.

By the way, if you don't know anything about the games, books, and comic-books and lore of this series you may not enjoy the film. In my opinion, I loved this movie, it hits everything i like about the games (stealthy aspects/eavesdropping/the action & combat + hidden blades) and its very stunning, and visually entertaining! the atmosphere is well made! Top Notch Cinematographer, Adam Arkapaw, same dude that worked on Macbeth another Fassbender film! which Fassbender should get an award/nominated the best male performance, I loved his take on both characters Callum Lynch and Aguilar de Nerha. loved all the references and Easter eggs throughout the film! Justin Kurzel did a fantastic job for the whole composition, i was surprised though that is was short of 2 hours, it really told the story in a fresh pace. THIS IS a video-game movie!

10 out of 10 for me!

The story is presented in an easy-to-understand method, unlike Warcraft, and it's plot proves very intricate and interesting, like the games. This film is also filled with riveting, intense fight scenes, stellar acting, and a substantial plot that keeps you entertained. My only complaints stem from a few holes here and there, but overall, this is a step in the right direction for video game movies. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a sorry state of affairs when critics don't know or understand the source material and base their reviews on their own ignorance, such is the case with Assassin's Creed.
I have read so many reviews where they get so much wrong, one thought the Assassin Brotherhood is the Assassin's Creed, (I had to point out it was a motto!) and others thought it was the Brotherhood and not the Templars who operated the Animus.
As they understand so little, I can tell you they are wrong about this movie, it delivers with gusto and stays true to the feel of the games and improves upon it, it has a cross combination with the Matrix meeting Jedi Knights.
I was sceptical, the association of game to movie is a known hoodoo to many, but this would've worked had the game not ever existed, sadly, many of the critics lack the intelligence to understand the story, which in essence is not difficult to comprehend, Abstergo (Templars) seek an ancient artefact (similar to Nazi's looking for the Ark of the Convenant in Raiders) called the Apple of Eden, it possesses the ability to eradicate free will (so a mind control device), they can only find it by tracing the memory of an assassin called Aguilar and do so by looking at genetic memories of his descendant Callum Lynch, however, each time they access said memories Callum learns the skills of the assassins and finally comes to realise he is being used...simple and straightforward plot, or so you would think, however, this seems to have bamboozled critics who don't have a clue what is going on and in their frustration at their own ineptitude to understand, they give it negative marks.
Make no mistake, the Oscar nominated trio of Fassbender, Cotillard and Irons give solid performances and the fight scenes and feel of the movie are a joy to behold, sadly, much of the negativity generated is from those who either a: never liked the games b: never played the games c: just don't like games at all (which covers a lot of critics) or d: not happy that Ubisoft did not include references to Altair, Ezio or any other assassin used in the games.
It's a shame this movie has been derided by a few, but this is evidence of yet again that many critics feel the only way to get their views noticed is to provide a negative review because they were too lazy to at least find some context in the source material, i.e. they knew that AC universe was big in the games arena, but because of their dislike of games intruding in the film world, they went into the movie with their minds already made up....and those who did try to have an open mind, quickly deciding that because they lack understanding of the story the film was stupid...when in fact the stupidity was of their own making.
A very good movie, plenty of action and a solid retelling of the core Assassins Creed ethos, the sequences of Callum and Aguilar mirroring each other's action are breath-taking, as is the feel of the Spanish inquisition, the games often captured the feeling of the era they were set in, and the same is true of the movie, a lot of rich and glorious detail went into the recreation of the year 1492.
And those who know Assassins Creed know that the assassins fighting skills gave them the edge, and this is not overlooked in the movie, some amazing set pieces utilising the parkour skills of the assassins which you can clearly associate with the game world, think Jason Bourne mixed with the skills of Egsy (Kingsman) and you get an idea of the visual treat the well choreographed fight scenes do provide.
The acting is very good, Fassbender pulls off a very disinterested Callum to begin with, choosing not to believe the world he has found himself in, and more concerned with being free (he was convicted of murder) than stopping the plans of the Templars, that is until he finds the truth of why he witnessed his mother dead at the hands of his father, he then realises that not everything is as it first seemed.
Sadly, in a world now where so many movies are put down with consummate ease and the critics can sway your decision, so many will miss out on a terrific movie that doesn't deserve the negativity and subsequently the lack of box office appeal due to the ignorance of the critics and their unwillingness to at least find out a little of the story, I am quite sad to realise this may not see a sequel, but I am glad it got made all the same, so thank you Mr Fassbender and Mr Kurzel for doing Assassin's Creed the justice it deserved.

The main problem that the did not show the true power of piece of eden and the did not show first civilization. But i think that everything will be in part 2. I give this movie 10 because of unfair critic and user score. This movie deserve minimum 8 of 10.

A surprising fact given that it tells it's own original story. NormallyA near-perfect recreation of the video games in movie form. As far as faithfulness to the source material goes, this is likely the most successful video game movie yet. A surprising fact given that it tells it's own original story. Normally that's kind of a red flag. While every video game movie diverts from it's influence(s) in some way or another, some go way too far and push away even the hardcore fans of the series. Even the ones that aren't complete bastardizations are disappointing to fans in some way. They may stick just closely enough or have the right amount of nods to keep these fans at least entertained, but the diversions are still enough to keep them stuck in an uncomfortable middle ground in their minds when all is said and done.

The reason why that isn't the case here is that the events of the movie are still closely bound to the lore of the games. A fact we can most likely accredit to the supposed nature of being set in the same universe as the games. The only thing it does really different is an insignificant change to the animus that's really nothing more than a different model. This is very much the same Assassin's Creed as the games. It's just a new chapter in the story. So as a result this a no-brainer for fans.

Exactly like the games there are two sides (or rather time periods) to the story. The modern day side of things is actually a return to form for the series. The video games lost their way in this area when they wrote themselves into a hole with AC3. This movie sets things right with a compelling narrative and characters that harken back to that first game where the Templars were using ancestors of the Assassins to hunt down powerful artifacts. Everything that first made that side of things interesting is in place here. It may give too little explanation as to the more sci-fi elements going on to appeal to the more casual audience, but those familiar with the source material should have no problem knowing what's going on.

Then there's the part of the story that takes place in the past. Where the conflict between Assassins and Templars is at it's most action packed. Usually it's also where it's at it's most interesting as well. That isn't so much the case here. That's because it's Assassin protagonists aren't really characters and more just vehicles to deliver the action. We know nothing about them and there isn't really much of a story happening in this time period. We do get some stellar visuals though and the Assassins act like Assassins. They rely on some nice tactics and tools from the games to make things more believable. While there are plenty of fight scenes and exciting, acrobatic chases, they do rely on some stealth moments before all of this happens so that they feel like true assassins.

Now most of what I've said here probably sounds like a dream come true for Assassin's Creed fans. That's because in a lot of ways this movie is. It is not however a perfect movie. The action is a key example of this. While often exciting, it does suffer from overactive camera work. Shots jump around so much during the fighting that it's hard to actually see what's going on. For every cool moment there's about three or so where things are just a visual mess. The tendency to jump back in forth through time to see future/present Fassbender doing the same things as his ancestor in the past is also an annoyance. I get the idea. It's a way to show off how the new Animus works, but they could have done this once or twice the first time it's being used instead of continuing this trick throughout the entire movie. It's much more interesting to watch the Assassin ancestor fight real people than it is to watch Fassbender swat at shadows in the present day.

The rest of the issues the movie has are only really going to affect people unfamiliar with the games. An flaw that is both fortunate and unfortunate in it's own ways. Non-fans are likely going to be confused by the sci-fi side of things which forgoes explanations here and there, as well as the lack of story for the Assassin's conflicts in the past. These also have the potential to annoy fans as well, but they are more likely to be forgiving towards them given how faithful this adaption is to the games.

For Assassin's Creed fans this is a must see. Never before has a video game series been so lovingly captured and portrayed in movie form. Nearly every element of the series from it's conception back in 2007 with the first game is in place for the movie. The original tale captures even the series forgotten or mistreated ones. Those who don't play the games or just never liked are likely to find less enjoyment here. However what made the games so popular still has the potential here to draw people in.

Assassin's Creed one of the best film adaptation of the video game. Separately I want to mention actor's play 3 main characters in real-time to Michael Fassbender, Marion Kottiyar and Jeremy Irons, especially towards the Templars in the faceAssassin's Creed one of the best film adaptation of the video game. Separately I want to mention actor's play 3 main characters in real-time to Michael Fassbender, Marion Kottiyar and Jeremy Irons, especially towards the Templars in the face of the heroes of Jeremy Irons and Marion Kottiyar. In their behavior, dialogue ubezhdenietamplierov feel that they are good, Michael Fassbender hero Callum unlike Templar characters methane it helps them, no. But eventually makes its selection.
Aguilar - Fassbender second character in the film is actually filed dumb of him was in my 2-4 cues in the entire movie, but the lack of words at a time when the show is more than compensated by the story action, which in the film so full. I played all the parts of the series, and as a fan gladly declare - that is moved / move all the assassins in the games !!! This is the action I was waiting for.
Regarding the animus - he did not like me too much, I started with the first part of this wonderful universe, and I like the animus bed or seat.
Music during all scenes worthy of all praise. There is nothing to say.
Regarding that, I recommend anyone to see - I recommend to all, except that - if you're a film critic (like those crazy to put this wonderful film scores below 8 points), waiting for the story of the Spanish Inquisition - pass by. Do not waste your time (the man of the monkey is not immediately released). Go and eat your bananas ( "Ghostbusters" and so on, as normal films do not touch), not mislead people with their stupid comments! Fans of the film will delight, and the new people, too, should attract in this universe.
My score 9 out of 10. P.S. Sorry from my English. If you don't understand me below I wrote Russian Version. Copy and Paste in translator, then you can understand my review.

Russian Version/Русская Версия
Одна из лучших киноадаптаций видеоигр. Отдельно хочу отметить актёрскую игру 3 главных персонажей реального времени Майкла Фассбендера, Марион Коттияр и Джереми Айронса, в особенности сторону тамплиеров в лице героев Джереми Айронса и Марион Коттияр. В их поведении, диалогах чувствуется убеждениетамплиеров, что те несут благо, герой Майкла Фассбендера, Каллум в отличие от героев-тамплиеров метается то он им помогает, то нет. Но в конце концов делает свой выбор. Агилар - второй герой Фассбендера, в фильме подан фактически немым, от него было по-моему 2-4 реплики за весь фильм, но недостаток слов во время, когда показывают историю компенсируется с лихвой экшенем, которого в фильме полным полно. Я играл во все части серии и как фанат с удовольствием заявляю - именно так двигались/двигаются все ассассины в играх!!! Именно такой экшен я ждал.
Касательно анимуса - он мне особо не понравился, я начинал с первой части этой замечательной вселенной и мне больше нравится анимус-кровать, или сиденье.
Музыка во время всех сцен достойна всяких похвал. Тут и говорить нечего.
Касательно того кому я рекомендую посмотреть - рекомендую всем, разве что - если вы кинокритик(как те сумасшедшие, которые выставили этому замечательному фильму оценки ниже 8 баллов), ждёте историю про испанскую инквизицию - пройдите мимо. Не тратьте своё время(человек из обезъяны не сразу вышел). Идите и ешьте свои бананы( "Охотников за привидениями" и прочее, а нормальные фильмы не трогайте), не вводите людей в заблуждение своими идиотскими отзывами! Фанатов этот фильм порадует, да и новых людей тоже должен завлечь в эту вселенную.
Моя оценка 9 из 10.

This movie is hands down better than the critics would have you believe. It does feel like they had to rush the story along, and simply didn't have enough time to focus on character development like say a network series, which is unfortunate, but does leave a lot of material for the sequel. The message of the story is clearly explained and interesting, with a lot of references to the games that fit perfectly. There is a ton of potential here. I hope people go see this movie and judge for themselves. For me, the action, actors, story, setting are freaking awesome and I hope they delve deeper in the sequel. Expand

For me, the movie was incredibly enjoyable. I was also afraid that the critics would be right, but they weren't. Give it a go, you will like it, if not, just turn it off.

The beginning is perhaps the worst part of the movie, however, the rest is very engaging and full of anticipation. "OMG! What's gonna happen now!? I wanna know! I wanna know!"

The adaptation of the Animus may not be perfect but served well in the movie and represented it's potency.

The plot is not confusing at all, it just flashes quickly between places and you have to understand the memories he goes in aren't determined by them. I believe some critics didn't grasp this aspect.

Some motivations of the characters were not clear but that doesn't compromise the enjoyment of the action and the well-choreographed fights. The parkour was good too.

These are some symbolism that you cannot understand without playing the game and which makes the game very special if you're a player of a big fan of Assassin's Creed.

Leaving the Spanish language greatly assisted the setting and immersion into the movie.

I believe this movie does indeed divide waters and create a new quality level for films based on games.I'd be happy to watch a sequel, and I am waiting for it.

I do not agree with the critics and I do not understand what they were waiting for. Definitely a movie worth to watch.

They hit all the major points. You can feel so many of the games in the film without the story being copy and pasted. The free running is perfect, the fighting is perfect, the fact that there isn't much dialogue is perfect!

Some reviews would have you believe that everything is CGI but with a 30 sec google search you can find that one of the best gymnasts turn free runners was a stunt man for this film and the iconic Leap Of Faith was actually done by him, not CGI!

Anybody who is a fan of the game series from Assassin's Creed 1 to Revelations will enjoy this film!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I thought the ending was a bit of a let down, all this Templar security and Cal is able to just walk right up behind Rikkin for a super easy kill was a bit lackluster. Up until then though I really enjoyed it, I even liked the movies idea of the animus compared to the more matrix style chair animus of the games. I hope the next movie dives deeper into the assassin/Templar lore, a few cameos from Altaïr, Ezio or one of the Kenways would be cool too. Expand

The end results has many fantastic moments and ambience--if scorpionic and plutonic appeals to you. Not sure the movie script is better than the game scripts. It may be. What confused me and I'm sure many is in actual history, the Templars are the good guys. In video games the Templars can be good or bad guys. In Dragon Age Inquisition, the Templars are one of several factions and they can also be good or bad. The script and the game series has as inherent contradiction I wanted them to address: The assassain's are the god guys using violence to eradicate violence? These assassains are not Zorro taking from the rich giving to the poor. The glorification of violence remains part of the film's and the game's DNA. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For those who have played the Assassin's Creed games:
A great adaptation. It's a visually beautiful film, with nuanced acting, and a story that focuses more on Callum than Aguilar, but is good nonetheless. The soundtrack is decent, though there are some oddly-chosen and placed pop songs at certain moments (one of them right at the beginning). The action (when it happens) is Assassin's Creed through-and-through; almost a dozen times I found myself remembering doing the same parries, dodges and leaps in the games that I saw happening on the screen. It's the real thing. Don't hesitate to add it to your collection.

For those who haven't played the video games:

It's more of a 5/10 experience - a draggy exposition with a don't-care-been-there plot coupled with some fantastic action sequences. Seriously, there is a lot that isn't explained. (HERE BE SPOILERS) How crucial is the missing information? Here's an example: a major event near the end of the film provides some closure for Callum. Ghostly figures suddenly appear to him in the Animus. It happens out of nowhere, for no apparent reason. But what is happening to Callum is he experiencing a synchonization-nexus, as described in the video game, Assassin's Creed: Revelations. It's a fantastic moment which demonstrates that the people who made the movie genuinely understood the games and their lore, but there is literally nothing about what that moment is, how it works, or why it happens. It just happens.(HERE END THE SPOILERS)

Would Assassin's Creed have been a better film with rote exposition, or is it better this way, leaving the mystique intact? Newcomers probably prefer the former, and that's the direction most game-to-film adaptations go. Assassin's Creed chose the latter, at the risk of failing to interest a new audience. If you've wondered what the Assassin's Creed franchise is all about, give this movie a watch, it's very faithful to the tone and lore of the source material. Hopefully you have friends who can answer your questions, though, because you'll have plenty.

Podrían haber metido una historia medieval totalmente entrada en nuestro asesino, pero han hecho lo contrario se han centrado complemente en la historia de "fuera" del Animus, la cual es mucho más oscura e intrigante. Y aun así sigue siendo más 'Assassins Creed' que la mitad de los videojuegos de la saga. Se apoyan en las secuencias en la antigüedad para establecer los momentos de acción de la película. En mi opinión, los creadores se nota que han jugado a los videojuegos, porque tiene un montón de planos que son puro A.C. la manera de comportarse o gestos típicos del asesino.

Un asesino interpretado de manera genial por Fasbender y secundado de lujo por la sublime Marion Cotillard y uno de mis preferidos Michael Kenneth-William. Reparto sensacional.

En definitiva, genial adaptación y MUY VALIENTE e interesante. ¿Lo malo? Que lo dejan para una segunda parte la cual no creo que les dejen hacerla. Así se hace un Blockbuster. Y que nadie se engañe. Yo he jugado a toda la saga y esta película es puramente fiel al videojuego. Un 8.

The movie pulls you in, the scenes between the action are rather boring true but the original suffered from the same problem, so you cant exactly pin this on the movie, same goes for the story, the movie follows the concept to the letter, but it successfully transfers what made the original game so popular, IE fast paced action and roof jumping, onto the movie screen, and that is not at all easy.

This movie is just what you thought it was. Entertaining action movie based off of a video game. Once you make your peace with that, it is a good movie that keeps your attention the whole time and is fun.

Not really a fan of any of the games, but had fun with this movie adaptation for sure. Some good set up pay off when that Templar guy say's we are training him, making him stronger. I found this an enjoyable sci-fi action romp that mixed interesting future tech with old world mythos. Expand

I saw this film 3 times, and I still enjoy and appreciate it. It's a great movie! And I'm very glad Ubisoft did a really nice movie out of it.
I recommend this movie, even my girlfriend (my 3rd time) enjoyed it.
So it's a proof of success ;)

It´s a good film. It gets a lot into the assassin´s creed history. The worst thing about the film is that the most of the time is in the present.
