Assassin's Creed

For a video game adaptation, "Assassin's Creed" stands out with "Warcraft" and "Mortal Kombat" as the most watchable of their genre. However, it could have left 20 minutes out and it could have improved.

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

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

Read this!!!!!

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 :)… 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

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

Ассассины больше похожи на боевой монашеский отряд, а не на братство скрытных убийц.

A 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. 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.

Horrible movie. It deviated too far from the original story.

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

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.

Though I went to the movie with a big grief, watching all this 36/100 reviews. I though that the movie will be bad. BUT NO. It is one of the best movies that was released in 2016. I liked the plot, I liked the action. AND I REALLY LIKED PAST PART. THAT WAS AWESOME! Just go and enjoy the movie. My real score for this movie is 9.5/10. 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.

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

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.… Expand

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.… Expand

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.

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.… 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.… Expand

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.… Expand

It's hilarious to read the positive user reviews on Metacritic. At best, it's the worst movie you'll watch in a year and possibly the worst in a decade.

At best, it's the worst movie you'll watch in a year and possibly the worst in a decade. I don't expect much from a movie (I give 3-4 stars to movies that get 2 from others) but this was just ridiculous - a baby inside his/her mother's womb could have made a better movie than this.

On the subject of good reviews, they talk about fight scenes but the fight scenes are actually horrible in this movie and turn Jason Bourne and Mission Impossible into Epic Bonanzas. Same with Parkour scenes - there was one lame parkour scene that's worse than anything my son has done in AC2, Revelations, Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate. What on earth did they like? They can't seriously have liked the Animus, they couldn't have liked the melody-less and unharmonious music, they couldn't have liked the story, the cinematography and editing were a mess of epic proportions (blur and fog have nothing to do with Assassin's Creed). I get that they like the title and the game (so do I) but that does NOT make a good movie. Generally speaking the positive reviews center on monosyllabic epithets which are usually incorrectly spelt so if your appreciate the lamest badass Templar fight in history then by all means watch the movie and enjoy it... If you watch the movie, remember how ridiculous the main bad guy was. You know nothing about him and you won't even have any recollection of seeing him fight or wielding his sword like a true swordmaster. I believe the director has hired all his family to dislike the negative reviews as he did in the movie. The movie is such a tragedy that it turns Macbeth into Seinfeld.

My son and I love the games. Coming off the heels of Black Flag which we completed twice (on the Xbox and Xbox One) and the incredible Syndicate with its beautiful Victorian settings and music, we expected the movie to honor this series which merges fiction with historical figures and locations. First, the movie is a family affair (see below to learn how the director hired his wife and brother for pivotal parts in the movie). Second, I don't believe the director has played the games and understands what sets Assassin's creed games apart from other games so there's no way he could make a movie worthy of the games.

Unfortunately the movie was extremely disappointing and it's prompted me to write a review which I've never done before. The depth of the story is really low as is the character development. Why is this important? Because you need to "connect" with the characters in any good movie. You won't connect with the actors in the movie as you did with Ezio, Kenway, or Jacob and Evie Frye. Many of the fight scenes are blurry and badly choreographed and that's such a big part of Assassin's Creed. Like the movie, you are wondering what happened as opposed to thinking "wow what an incredible move". The concept of the new animus is nice but they use it in every scene and it destroys any suspension of disbelief that the story is taking place in another timeline. Every 10 seconds in a fight scene you come back to the original timeline and then go back. It's like being taken out of London or Havana in the game to see the animus every minute...

During the movie, my entire family wanted to leave because of the bombastic sound of the soundtrack. Unfortunately, the director hired his brother (and his wife as an actress) and he couldn't come up with a decent score or a catchy melody so he blasts heavy metal music throughout 30%-40% of the movie even without action scenes. Well, you simply can't do that. Which is really sad because all franchises like Star Wars, James Bond, Harry Potter have great catchy themes that the soundtrack is supposed to play with. With a setting in Spain, how could they not come up with a soundtrack that matched Gladiator's is beyond me... Any soundtrack from the games especially Syndicate is better than the movie's which is hard to believe. What happened? Besides a musical lack of talent in terms of creating a soundtrack, I believe the director's brother was influenced by the one-of-a-kind bombastic sound in the Assassin's creed Revelations trailer which features Woodkid's Iron song and to this date remains the best trailer ever made for a movie or game. The issue is that he is nowhere as talented and couldn't choreograph music to fight scenes like Ubisoft did in that trailer - check it out if you can.

There's also no sense of humor at all in the movie to make any character likable and to develop a character. So do yourself a favor, save your money, and your hopes and go watch a better movie, or better yet, play one of the games again.… Expand

By the end it becomes a hot podge of pointless action and CGI that ruins the build-up made from the beginning of the film.

The overwhelming aspect is the long ass war between Assassins and Templars and fighting for control of order and peace through First Civ tech called pieces of Eden. 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!… Expand

Michael Fassbender plays the last descendant of the Assassins, a secret society that battles the Templars for an end to violence and mankind's free will. The simplistic plot is one that only a video game could spawn and it's inevitably peppered with lots of action. Kurzel has created dense imagery (with lots of dust and smoke) and his fights are high-energy, although ultimately repetitive and tiresome. The best thing that I can say about this film is that Fassbinder spends about 1/3 of it fighting and flexing shirtless.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Assassins creed is a pretty straightforward franchise. Its about historical conflicts, and cool dudes that run around taking out major targets whilst doing awesome parkour. I'm not a huge fan of the games (I've only ever played IV) but as someone who is into history, I was pretty stoked for this movie. On top of that, Assassins Creed is also a reunion For Justin Kurzel, Michael Fassbender, and Marion Cotillard; who all worked on the most recent version of Macbeth, which I absolutely loved. My expectations for this movie were high. So high, in fact, that I disregarded the overwhelming onslaught of hate that came in the wake of the movie's early screenings. Boy, was I wrong.

Justin Kurzel is a great director. He has a gift in his manipulation of fog, dust, and light. He did great things in Macbeth, especially with the final confrontation, and he does similarly great things here...at least when the screenplay permits it. The setting that I had most looked forward to; fifteenth century Spain, at the height of the inquisition, barely gets 30 minutes of screen time, if that. The ferocious beauty that Kurzel's visual style brings to the table is never given time to become the prepossessing masterpiece I know it could have become. The epic acrobatics, tense sequences of martial arts combat, and exotic weaponry scarcely sink in before the viewers, just like Callum Lynch, are jerked back to a monotone and boring laboratory, that serves as the setting for most of the movie.

At one point in the film, when the villainous Templar priest finally lays his oppressive hands on the apple of Eden, the movie's sought after artifact, Aguilar, and his Assassin partner leap down into a cloud of grey smoke, emerging from the shadows here, and there, laying absolute waste to the Templar. This is a moment of cinematic triumph, and Kurzel ought to be pleased. Next however, as Aguilar seizes the priest, he looks across the room, and sees his partner just as she is murdered by a Templar enforcer. An epic duel ensues. Climactic combat is Fassbender's forte. The man shows his emotions so well with his facial expressions. This woman is his wife, presumably, or his lover perhaps. However, I have no idea who she is; heck, i don't even know what her name is. The movies plot prevents you from being emotionally invested in the most adrenaline pumping part of the story, because the script focuses on what has to be the most positively tedious plot device in Assassins Creed.

This movie was Ubisoft's chance to disconnect the Assassins Creed franchise from the half-baked convoluted sci-fi plot devices that are part and parcel of the games. Instead, the film chooses to be a movie that is almost solely, a half baked-convoluted plot device, with a dash of fantastic stunt work on the side.

I am usually pretty optimistic after a movie. It takes very little to please me. My rating scale tends to peak at "perfect", and reach its low at "just good". I'm sad to say that I wanted Assassin's Creed to end. Once I realized that there were no more animus sequences coming my way, I had no reason to care anymore. This was not, sitting on the edge of my seat, or wishing the film would hurry up and get to the climax. I legitimately wanted the movie to be over, so the credits would roll, and I could get up and leave.

Assassin's Creed is a tragedy. So much talent was involved, and clearly, plenty of hard work went into it. A few times, Kurzel's pictorial virtuosity is allowed to shine through the weary and trite plot, but for the most part, it is suppressed by how vapid and incomplete everything else is. It is a pity. Assassins Creed was chock full of potential, but it couldn't have fallen more short.… 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.

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

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

Great movie!
no idea why critics are bad.
I have not played the games yet(any of them
). But after seeing this, I definitely want to. The movie has its own sense, you don't have to play the game before to enjoy it.

I'm not Assassin's Creed gamer. But, I guess this movie is good. Yet, this movie has a lot of plotholes. Or I guess I don't know much about the premise.

It's action packed and thrilling. Yeah, this movie is still good, although the story isn't great.… Expand

Rating - 5.1/10

Another video-game adaptation that fails to provide an interesting story, Assassin's Creed doesn't live up to its incredible hype, and lacks the incredible action sequences and emotional depth that would make it worth remembering.

What did I think?

I’m not sure if it was a problem with the theater but the film was SO LOUD that I felt flattened. The images flash by like they’re trying to cure Malcolm McDowell of his violent tendencies. No character seems sympathetic or even interesting. The story makes no sense. This film made me feel like a grandfather trying to program a VCR at a rave concert. The experience was a physical torture and I had to walk out after an hour.

Just no.… Expand

I can say from an unbiased point of view this movie actually had my heart pounding almost the entire film simply for how well it was crafted. 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

This movie gives you everything an AC fan could want. Every game maniac is represented very well and the story is interesting. The shining jewel is the combat choreography. overall its not the best but its not even close to being bad.

I went in with low expectations, but was amazed at the end. The acting was top-notch, the action scenes were phenomenal, and the story was great.

I almost didn't see this movie after seeing the negative critic reviews, however, better logic won me over as I have played the games and loved them. This movie was awesome for a person who knows setting and what is going on, I believeI almost didn't see this movie after seeing the negative critic reviews, however, better logic won me over as I have played the games and loved them. 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

This seems to be another movie to not trust the critics reviews. They are always looking for something overly artsy, like The Witch, and can't just like something for what it is. Is it an Oscar winning life changing movie? No. It does the games justice while tweaking a few things.
