YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! You were supposed to destroy the bad video movies, not join them! Bring balance to cinema, not leave it in darkness!

fuck...is this movie good?

fuck!!!!

gotta give it up for the creed though. what a creed. top 10 creeds.

and you GOTTA give it up for the apple. need that apple to win a Nobel Peace Prize!

P.S. Marion Cotillard 100% believes this movie is non-fiction and that the Knights Templar are after her even as we speak

distinguishably lacked the only thing i remember from playing assassins creed: hiding in haystacks

48/100

Justin Kurzel sucks the lifeblood out of anything he touches, and Assassin's Creed is no exception, but the self-serious ambition exudes an entrancing sense of style in spite of the goofy premise being drained of its inherent silliness. The flashback sequences are silent, acrobatic showcases - a dizzying soundtrack fulfills the extended chases and high-jumping movements - while the present-day material drowns in convoluted concepts, and the resulting mix is one of continuous fascination and intermittent thrills. See it for the Fassbender.

Ridiculously stupid in both concept and execution, this film succeeds in being vaguely enjoyable only in the most inane, barely recognisable nods to its source material. It is as if the film is solely constructed to go 'remember this? Cool, right?' In nearly every scene. This almost works one (1) time, but even then, the film manages to make an otherwise pretty cool moment boring with shoddy at best cinematography and editing that makes sure you don't even get to see it complete.

In light of all of this, it is frankly astonishing just how close this was to having an at least interesting, if not good plot. And it's such a simple, tiny change. Just let the bad guys win.

I underestimated this movie. It's far stupider than I could have imagined.

So much talent wasted on a script so half-baked. How could these fine actors have thought this was worth their time? (Hint: this thing cost $125 million). The animus, the assassins and the apple are never explained, and there aren't enough elaborate sets to cover up the gaps where sturdy plotting should be. The script explains Assassin's Creed's biggest failure; something this outlandish shouldn't be this bloody boring. We're not invested, ergo we don't care.

Fassbender looks the part in the assassin's hood, but Kurzel shoots it so murkily, with little happening between clunky CG aerial shots and haphazardly-edited action. Largely worthless, but there are far worse game adaptations out there.

Two stars only for the sweaty and topless Michael Fassbender scene. Also, a waste of Marion Cotillard and Charlotte Rampling!

Tecnicamente é belo, pro universo de assassin's creed não faz sentido, sem o contexto do jogo também não faz sentido, Cal (Michael Fassbender) é interessante, pois pela primeira vez se vê um personagem que tem sangue assassino mas por raiva quer cooperar com os templários, quer vingança contra seu pai, mas que no final se torna do bem porque sim, um Deus Ex Machina pra agradar os fãs, mas que não agradou ninguém, além de tudo em torno dos templários ser extremamente positivo, todos os diálogos mostram eles como vilões idiotas e que dão oportunidade para serem roubados por um grupo de ladrões, a "vilã" do filme é bem interpretada, mas toma cada decisão idiota, esse é o filme que acaba desperdiçando muito potencial em esteriótipos de bem e mal, algo que os melhores jogos da franquia superaram.

The only reason I am here is because of Michael Fassbender. I do not have any idea of the game so it does not matter to me how close were they in capturing the elements of the video game. This is slightly better than that Warcraft movie (which I also only watched because of Travis Fimmel). At least in this movie, my eyes weren't rolling as much as it did when I was watching Warcraft.

I kept waiting for ripped Jake Gyllenhaal to come on the screen but realized three quarters in that it was the other video game to movie franchise - haha.

Though the game’s vast story wasn’t really the highlight of the movie, Assassin’s Creed achieves a brand new feat by introducing a new narrative that’s separate—albeit very familiar—from the video game itself. It does suffer from a hurried pace, but then again that’s how the game has always been if you don’t dwell too much on the side quests. With a perfect mix of factual history and fiction, Assassin’s Creed does what it can to pay homage to the game and adds an interesting layer of freshness to the franchise.

If there were a video game series that had the chance at being more than a mediocre movie it was this one. Even though they were sporting a great cast unfortunately it sucks just like the rest of them. Just like the game, Assassin's Creed is only interesting when the actual action in the past is happening. The setting and action sequences are cool but everything else is such a drag. Shame really but can't say I didn't see it coming.

Mi fanboy de Assassin's Creed me hace amar a esta película a medio cocer.
