I really love this film. I never played the games so for me it was just an enjoyable film. I can't understand the negative comments on this one. The concept is awesome and the action is great. I have seen many many worse films in my time.

I can watch this movie as may times as I can watch LOTR, if you are a real AC fan then you will love the movie.
We need more AC movies.
The characters the story and everything else was just amazing.

With this film, everything is not so simple for me. As a film that is not related to the original source, it is not bad. As an adaptation of the game, the film is terrible for me

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The problem is not only that the length of the modern part is more than that of the ancient part, but also that the modern part has more details than that of the ancient part. If the length of a movie that distinguishes between story and action is not grasped properly, it will be more elegant and more ideal In fact, Assassin's Creed movies in this state will be like the process of a game in which players can feel and explore the fun of story based on the action.… Expand

But I have a different opinion and it's probably because I'm just a fan and the movie caught me. I liked the story, even more the music and most of all I swallowed the event, which I think was just luxurious here. So I would recommend the film for me, but I probably wouldn't, because it didn't get much good feedback. But for me, this is a great film and I would recommend it to fans of the game series.

"I'm hungry."

The way this sentence lands essentially summarizes everything you need to know about this movie - its plot is atrociously messy, and like many movies based on video game franchises, it does an incredible disservice to the engaging world it arose out of. If you want to be simultaneously bored and frustrated while perhaps laughing at a scene or two for all the wrong reasons, I highly recommend this movie. Otherwise, you won't regret skipping this blemish upon the legacy the video games helped create.… Expand

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

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

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

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

From someoneThis is a movie coming from the team behind Macbeth, appreciate Kurzel's dark gloomy tragic depressing style surrounding in Assassin's Creed and thanks to the whole cast and crew, overall this is a cinematic beauty and Valiant.
From someone who played the very first game, familiar and understand the setting and lore, this movie does the job and fit into this universe. A grand adventure in history + demonstrating the meaning of Creed and indeed the best videogame movie ever made. Well to the script it wasn't ideal,the only shortcoming, because mainly it Dives more into the very deep concept and notion of AC（includes the ancestor and descendant） Serves as a first chapter and extension of this universe, possible sequel could rectify minor problems it had. This movie truly is a decent one, Pay Attention to Every Frame Actions + dialogues, With a cast you could only find in classical theatre, they're delivering their very best.
The Only thing I don't like is the interactive animus, Compare to the one in this movie I prefer that immersive animus in the game.
Your view about this movie highly depends on your first impression of Assassin's Creed, Nobody likes a change but this movie is faithful to this world depite its flaws whether you like it or hate it. Even the Original Creative Director agrees on this movie. If you familiar with Past+Present and some elements you will certainly enjoy and appreciate this movie but if you only cares about the past for gaming experience don't watch it and especially for the people who don't like this genre and wants only popcorn Go spend your time elsewhere!
WELCOME TO PEOPLE WHO WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS WORLD.
In my opinion Videogames that has cinematic quality can be adapted but How many people can accept this? this question is the key to Videogame movies success and if this has a solution then there's a way to break the curse. I would give it 8 if the ending fade into black before the assassination.
Most importantly a movie about Assassins and Templars for not reaching 2hrs on the big screen was wasted, A sequel is badly need it! Nada es verdad, todo está permitido.… Expand

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.

No entiendo a algunas personas, esta película no transmite para nada lo que es la saga de Assasin's Creed. No tiene nada que ver y esta filmada horriblemente, hay más humo que personas.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 ;)

Addressing bad ratings; the bad thing about this movie, oddly enough had nothing to do with the movie itself, but rather what it didn't do. By itself it's a perfectly good action-ish movie that anyone can enjoy, but don't expect an 10/10 inAddressing bad ratings; the bad thing about this movie, oddly enough had nothing to do with the movie itself, but rather what it didn't do. By itself it's a perfectly good action-ish movie that anyone can enjoy, but don't expect an 10/10 in any aspect, hence my 6 rating which is good. The creators of the film failed to do 1 of 2 things that were highly anticipated with the making of this video game series into film: 1) An alt-historical look at Spain or any other exotic location in time. OR 2) An action packed look at an Assassin's life in the time of said 'memory'.
It failed to do both of those, which is the only reason people play the games. Instead they brought the story to the 'real world', the least interesting part of the series. The assassins weren't really developed in the dream memory nor real life. It was mostly about the main character and no one else, which made it feel more closed off and very separated from the world. To not go into a ramble here, The biggest problem of this movie was that it didn't really give us anything that the fans nor anyone wanting a block buster were expecting. Don't watch this expecting that, it'll only disappoint you, instead watch it as yet another action flick and enjoy the cheesy plot of good vs evil and the bad one liners.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The problem was I could not empathize with the characters. A non-repentant murderer doesn't make much of a protagonist, and since 90% of the action sequences are all replayed memories, there's no tension.

The worst of it is, this movie could have been so much more! A Matrix for the 21st century (speak not the name of the two terrible sequels!) but chose instead a superficial, even contradictory, philosophy to base the story upon.… Expand

Die Adaption des Dauerbrenners geht zwar mit nett choreographierten Kämpfen, schicken Bildern und ordentlich Michael-Bay-Bombast technisch klar, ignoriert aber alle anderen Pluspunkte des Spiels: Parcour fehlt fast völlig, ebenso die von Fans geliebten Anspielungen: Nur in einen Leap-of-Faith-Kopfsprung darf sich der sichtlich unmotivierte Michael Fassbender stürzen. Der absolute Sargnagel aber ist die langweilige Story: Die spielt zu überraschend großen Teilen in der unspektakulären Gegenwart – wo Frisch-Assassine Fassbender von VR-und Pharma-Mogul Abstergo Industries via Animus in die viel zu seltenen Historien-Flashbacks geschickt wird. Die actionreichen Zeitreisen sind derweil der unterhaltsamste Part des Films – aus vermutlich finanziellen Gründen jedoch stets in dichten Sandsturmrauch gehüllt. Geholfen hat das nicht.… Expand

Despite some fine looking action none of it is involving. Plus the video games pulls you into the 13th Century more than this movie does. When Callum (Michael Fassbender) gets transported into the life of his ancestor, we mostly get all action and no character development. There's the making of a good video game based movie for once. Except there's just not enough to the story to make you care about what's going on or the characters.… Expand

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

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

Instead of building a solid story and getting you to like a few of the characters, it's mostly just action set-piece after action set-piece with little to no explanation or build-up. Why does Hollywood not just follow the building blocks set out by the stories in the actual games? The reason so many of these games are so popular is because of their stories and the way they are set out. Not because of the repetitive action sequences in them. The sooner the film industry understands that, the sooner videogame adaptations will make a killing at the box office.… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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.… Expand

One bad thing that ruined the immersion of the movie for me were the moments when the action would cut in and out from past to present to the point where 3/4 of the movie was in the present making it not feel like a very assassiny movie for me.

It would work better on a 6h framework if you ask me but for the time constrain it does the job. I don't think it's gotta have any sequels so I guess this is it but they really could've built upon what they did here. Loved the score and cinematography. Can't complain about the cast, they did the best they could with the line they had to say.… Expand

The movie is decent. I wouldn't say it's "great," but it's decent. Of course, this is coming from someone who has never been a huge fan of the franchise, so I don't have a bias against the movie.

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.… Expand

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

Otherwise, it follows similar points. It's as if those involved with this film completely ignored its source material. The performances of Fassbender, Cotillard and Irons are the only reasons to watch.… Expand

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.… Expand

Assassin's Creed has an overly-boring introduction that forces audiences to dislike everything that's happening for the first 10 or 15 minutes.

The material has little relevance other than to encourage Callum Lynch's hatred for his father and who his parents were. Ultimately, this was poorly scripted and ends up forcing the movie to have to win an audience back instead of gaining their interest from the first moments of the movie. However, as bad of a start as it was, Assassin's Creed does eventually gain traction. Fassbender and Rampling have heavy presence while on-screen, achoring this film when knives aren't being slashed across human bodies. I went from being very disinterested to intrigued over the course of the first half of the movie, before being very interested in how it would all come to a close. The action in Assassin's Creed is fantastic, carrying great momentum from each encounter to the next. The video game's protagonist's use of parkour and mixed martial arts translates extremely well to the big screen. If you're just here for the awesome fight scenes, you won't leave disappointed. When the dust settles, Kurzel's adaptation of Assassin's Creed starts to become fun and thrilling but then the film ends with more sweeping panoramic shots - the movie is full of them and they start to get a little lame. There are talks about converting this to the small screen. That might be best, but getting the cast to remain would probably be impossible without a considerable budget. For this franchise to succeed, big screen or small screen, it will take iron-clad screenwriting and a more careful investigation of the source material that can be fed to audiences slower. The movie moves too fast and the Animus moments, while extremely cool and so well threaded together with the modern day experience of Lynch, don't take the opportunity to further the story very well. Still, if there is to be more of Assassin's Creed in the movie or TV world, I will be happy to give it the benefit of the doubt. There is a lot that can go right. It's too bad the studio and those overseeing this first adaptation didn't do more to stick the landing on the first go-round. Assassin's Creed could have been magnificent.… Expand

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.

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.… Expand

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.… Expand

I have the feeling that we are shown glued to the series from the middle of the series. The characters don't feel anything at all. You do not care for them. The character Cal Lynch goes to great acting by Michael Fassbender. About Aguilar in General, almost nothing is known, and in the film he is involved only in action. The dialogue is very flawed, I have not heard such stupid dialogues. This movie with no interesting characters, no good dialogue, no interesting, thrilling story. Everything we loved Assassin's Creed in this movie is out! But this film has it good moments. The music is just great! I fell in love with it. Action is very well shot and delivered. Spain looks wonderful and believable, it's a pity that Spain has been recreated in vain, as these good moments can't save the film from mediocrity.… Expand

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

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

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

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

That being said, this movie is stupid. Not in a sense it is necessarily a bad movie, but in a sense you are not allowed to take any plot line, character or motive seriously, lest you feel stabbing pain in your brain from how stupid it is.
And the cast... well frankly I would say the stars are on par with speaking extras. With honorable exception of Marion Cotillard who did not Skype it in, but again the silliness of her script prevented her from improving this movie.
This much starpower hasn't been wasted since the destruction of death star.… Expand

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

The machine sequences are somewhat awkward and one can't help wishing for more 'flashes to the past' because they're so great. Nonetheless it is still a solid production from the game and worth a watch for any fan.
