Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Herman Nebelwerfer Never played the game so I had no idea what to expect. The beginning was mysterious and compelling. The rest was not. Although the story and acting was good, especially Fassbender, I quickly became bored with the interminable action scenes and dreary lack of color. The end was flat out terrible. In the right hands, this project could have been so, so much better.

feyipuk Quite a few movies based on video game cherry pick from the source material to make a film that attracts a wider audience, with the intention to get them to try the games they're based on. They're not going to go into detail in a two hour film in the same way they would a multi faceted video game that wants to keep you coming back for more. I'm not sure, based on this film, I'd want to play the games. Here, a large organisation, with massive resources, has developed a device (that wouldn't look out of place in the Matrix series) which can tap into an individuals ancestral memories and project them for all to see, with the intention of finding something those ancestors hid.And it's that split - between current time and past time - that spoiled the movie for me. The scenes with Aguilar are well shot pieces of action; life and death scenarios that puts you in the center of the action, wondering how they're going to escape. The atmospheric eagle swooping shots give this over view of how vast the situations are that these characters exist in. And then it pauses and the we return to Cal Lynch in the present, with some dialogue about why he's in the situation he's found himself and meeting other subjects of this procedure. It's like you're watching the game and then watching the person playing the game, resulting in a weakening of the characters, as none really get fleshed out. It's got a decent cast - Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Charlotte Rampling - yet it's the action that takes center stage and none of them really gets to perform. I mean, IMDB lists Brendan Gleeson (Joseph Lynch) above Rampling, though if you look away at the wrong moment, you'd probably miss him! A younger version of Joseph - played by his son, Brian Gleeson - gets more lines (though the film does touch on why that happened).

fmrburns It's not the Video Games but for Movie Fanatics who don't play Video Games will Enjoy this Movie and I actually watched it Twice to enjoy it hopefully we get sequels or a Series on Netflix would love to see the Live action story of the Frye Twins and the other assassins It Might be the 1st Film but for The Common movie fanatic to actually understand the franchise than the typical gamer they must make more films it was a Good Adventure and I watched it in IMAX

Pjtaylor-96-138044 If it seems as though 'Assassin's Creed (2017)' was made by people who had never played the game, that's because it was. The closest that director Justin Kurzel ever got to a controller was watching a quote unquote 'expert' play-through portions of an unspecified entry in the series (probably the first) in a move which serves as the absolute best descriptor of how watching this boring mess of a movie feels: it's like watching someone else play through a video-game, eagerly awaiting your turn at the wheel while the frustration builds up because the player can't scale a building, so is instead running in circles like some untrained puppy, and the story is simply passing over your head because it seems as though they are skipping every other cut-scene. The only difference is that here every frame was specifically selected for your viewing. There's nothing left out, but there wasn't anything there to begin with. 4/10
