samtimoney-79758 This film brought shame to the franchise and must put a lot of people off the incredible Ubisoft games, no story, no violence where as the games are astonishingly violent and there is non of the original characters from the games in it pretty much

keromanti This was a great effort. People are seldom seen satisfied. Are they wise enough to do it better themselves? Otherwise complaining is just gonna cause desynchronization. Anyway, nothing beats everything. If you wanna be thrilled, play the games. But watch the movie as well, it's cool.

betty dalton I often get bored beyond belief by those dumb action movies. I would rather stare at my wallpaper, then watch those mindnumbing stories about action heroes that arent for a second connected to anything remotely true to life. But "Assassin's Creed" is not just kids stuff, this is seriously impressive. Adults and arthouse movie geeks could appreciate this frenetic, mindtwisting story as well.I really was so surprised by the impressively, frightening undertones of this movie that I wanted to find out more about who directed this movie. Justin Kurzel is the director's name.And then I immediatedly understood why this movie aint nowhere near any other ordinary hollywood action movie. This director has in his young carreer already achieved worldwide acclaim with "Snowtown". Just check out the trailer on Imdb, that is seriously heavy stuff. No kids stuff at all, although kids have leading roles in it. Afterwards he made "MacBeth". Another hardhitting gritty action movie. The only fault with this movie could be that it could be marketted for kids only, while adults could appreciate it very much too. Michael Fassbender produced this adaptation of this action game himself. That means he must have had a lot of control over the end result. And that shows, because "Assassin's Creed" has got terrific acting in it and no hollywood ending, which I applaud. I immediatedly want to praise the soundtrack as well, which is one of the best ones I have heard in a long time. Chilling, powerful music that went under my skin. So did this movie."Assassin's Creed" is a story about timetravel. The goal of going back in time is to save a symbol that preserves men's free will. Will they be able to destroy this symbol of men's own free will or will it be protected for future mankind? That 's the suspense of the story in a nutshell. I know, this sounds childish and bizarre. When I would read such a synopsis of the story myself I would immediatedly disregard this picture. But please give it a try, because when I started to watch it, with a lot of negative expectations, I soon noticed the enormous acting and direction qualities. For example, I was so pleased to see Jeremy Irons and Charlotte Rampling acting again. Those are masters at their skills and although they only play supporting roles, their emotional impact is very powerful. "Assassin's Creed" is one of those few exceptions in which a game truly has become a very impressive movie."Assassin's Creed" is ofcourse not a cinematic masterpiece, because it is still catered to the youth, hence the boring action sequences that go on for too long, but that's the only flaw of this movie though, the rest is truly impressive. In it's own action hero genre I would say this is one of the best I have seen in years. "Logan" comes to mind as an equally powerful action hero movie, which can be enjoyed by adults as well...

rtwomey-10039 Why does this have a 5.8?! "Assassin's Creed" is a great movie! It was a project that Ubisoft put off for way too long, if you ask me! I still can't believe that this bombed so badly, but "La La Land" did so fantastic. Most people say that the movie is boring and bland. And by 'they', I mean people who have never seen a Kevin Costner movie. The cast is great, the fight scenes are excellently coordinated, and the story is quite solid, though it doesn't stick to that of the game. But by doing that, It feels like this could even take place during the same time as the games. They even put in Alan Rikkin, who Dr. Vidic received e-mails from in the first game! Personally, I consider "Assassin's Creed" to be the best movie of 2016. On a side note, I consider "La La Land" to be the worst.
