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

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

The moving Animus fits the film incredibly well. In a way it makes the training/improving skills of the descendant by Animus exposure much more believable. In my opinion, the film is more appreciated by those who know and play(ed) the games before. Why? For example, because my friend asked me after the end of the film: "Why was the bird there all the time?" Well, how to answer that...… Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sure we have playedSo, just got done watching "Assassin's Creed" and I went into this film hoping for the best as this was a video game to silver screen film. First I'll start off by saying, when you have a winning formula, why change it? Sure we have played the games, we know the stories, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't have loved to see a live action adaptation of the first game. Michael Fassbender, did a great job playing his character, sure it's a little strange to see him speaking Spanish but hey whatever, the guy has depth. The film is set during the Spanish Inquisition and Fassbender plays Aguilar de Nerha a man who has lost his entire family and has pledged his life to the brotherhood of Assassin's to protect free will against the Templars. The graphics were superb and the locations were beautifully designed with high amounts of detail. Choreography was horrific in most scenes and the acting skills of the no name, could care less about them, extra would be assassins was also laughable. They try to be intense and just come off as trying to hard. Jeremy Irons plays the opposite part of our hero as Abstergo C.E.O., Dr. Rikken who is hell bent on pushing the limits of our hero to find "the Apple of Eden" a relic from the Garden of Eden that contains the seed of the first act of disobedience against God in the Animus a machine designed by Dr. Rikken's daughter Sofia, played by the beautiful Marion Cotillard, who in this film seemed rather stiff in her role, a role and character that we don't get much information on, other than the fact that she has designed the animus and that she is trying to help rid the world of violence. If you are looking for any semblance of the Assassin's creed games that you enjoy, you will only find it in the, the armblades, the disappear into the crowd moves, the leap of faiths, the running on rooftops and the eagles that point out view points. Be prepared to be leaving this movie thinking, "Wow, Mortal Kombat was better than this movie". They couldn't even get the Animus right.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
Please, just go and enjoy. Do not listen to anyone.… Expand

The movie is very good, there is nothing wrong with the plot as said by specialized critics.

My only complain is that the movie could have more scenes inside the Animus.

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.

But still not as bad as some people make it out to be. The film's biggest flaw is that you don't get emotionally attached to a single character in it. I honestly didn't care if anyone in the movie died. So much of the movie is spent wasted on the wrong things. 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

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.

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

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

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.

I love the games but I have to say this movie has the flaw that most of its series does. When its getting "good" with assassin action you are ripped out of the fun to present time. I DONT WANT TO SEE PRESENT TIME.

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

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 andAssassin'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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

first thing i noticed going into the movie a little detail that i liked was that Ubisoft's logo was actually shown as if its a movie company which was good the good things about the movie were the good moments were when Michael Fassbender was viewing the memories of his ancestor assassin.

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.
anyway thanks for reading the review BBYYEE… Expand

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

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

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 ;)

Not too bad. The concept of Animus in this movie is cool, but the whole story is not very interesting.

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.

Good Movie, really it was good... I understand why some people were so upset, that this was the beginning, and doesn't have much action as much it was a story beginning, I loved it, as much I loved the game series, the characters were playedGood Movie, really it was good... I understand why some people were so upset, that this was the beginning, and doesn't have much action as much it was a story beginning, I loved it, as much I loved the game series, the characters were played wonderfully, perfectly, I felt them, believed them, and wish for more of it, Good Luck to the Movie Maker,… Expand
