Assassin's Creed

This movie got such flack when it came out. But I love it!

Eye candy in almost every scene, an excellent plot, and stellar acting!

its like every other movie I watch now a days is wrecked by CGI this one would have been 1 star couple years ago but compared to the competition its turned into a 4 star which is crazy considering. CGI like this in 2025 would be considered classy back then

Even after all is said and done this movie still blows me away. Makes you think not just wonder if we have the capacity, even the capability to get a hold of this knowledge from technology today that..idk Are we already doing the scientific research on jumping timelines..or having some ability to change certain productive outcomes to our future at all? I sit and ponder..I love the movie though.

It is mystical and spiritual with lots of action!

Based on the immensely popular video game series of the same name, "Assassin's Creed" had a lot to live up to when it made its transition from consoles to the big screen. With a star-studded cast featuring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard and a rich source material steeped in historical fantasy, the movie had all the makings of a blockbuster. Unfortunately, while it excels in some areas, it falls short in others. Here's why:Visuals & Cinematography:The film truly shines when it comes to visuals and action sequences. The Parkour-inspired stunts, a staple in the game series, translate well into the movie format. Cinematography is often striking, capturing the essence of the game’s trademark "leap of faith" and other high-adrenaline moments with finesse.Plot & Storytelling:This is where the movie struggles the most. Fans of the game will find the plot familiar, as it revolves around the eternal battle between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templars, centered around the hunt for the 'Apple of Eden.' However, the execution leaves much to be desired. The film tries to tackle too many complex themes and ends up losing its focus, making it difficult for newcomers to the franchise to grasp the full scope of the story.Character Development:Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard deliver solid performances, but their characters lack depth. Given the complex personas that populate the game series, the movie characters feel surprisingly one-dimensional.Fan Service vs. Accessibility:The film does incorporate elements that will please fans of the game, but this focus on fan service often comes at the expense of accessibility for general audiences. The complex lore is not adequately explained, leaving newcomers somewhat adrift.My Opinion:In my view, "Assassin's Creed" had the potential to be a ground-breaking adaptation, serving as a bridge between video games and cinema. It succeeds in some technical aspects, like visual effects and action choreography but falters in storytelling and character development. The film feels like a missed opportunity to create a compelling narrative that could stand independently of its gaming roots while still paying homage to the original material.Would I recommend this movie? If you're a fan of the video game series, you'll find elements to enjoy, but keep your expectations in check. For those unfamiliar with the franchise, the movie can serve as a visually engaging, albeit somewhat confusing, introduction to the world of "Assassin's Creed."In summary, "Assassin's Creed" is a visually stunning yet narratively lacking adaptation of a beloved video game series. While it captures the adrenaline-fueled action of its source material, it struggles to deliver a coherent and engaging story, ultimately leaving audiences with a mixed bag of highs and lows.

I really enjoyed the games and this movie as well, it isn’t too detailed on the main lore it’s almost it’s own thing but it isn’t bad

Seriously confuseing plot. Theres this dude, thats like an assassin? But not like a moderen day assassin like an old timey assassin. I know what youre thinking like that doesnt sound confuseing but this movie takes place in 2043. Which isnt like setup for the whole backstory or anything really. Its just kinda of like a more depressing visual repenstation of the 70s'. Like why did everyone have AFROS? and talk about going to the disco 24/7.
