Review of Assassin's Creed (2016) by Dvorkam — 13 Mar 2017

This movie is visually really impressive. As a fan of AC franchise, I still enjoyed the translation from game to movie. Direction seemed ok, and I enjoyed many images they created.

That being said, this movie is stupid. Not in a sense it is necessarily a bad movie, but in a sense you are not allowed to take any plot line, character or motive seriously, lest you feel stabbing pain in your brain from how stupid it is.

And the cast... well frankly I would say the stars are on par with speaking extras. With honorable exception of Marion Cotillard who did not Skype it in, but again the silliness of her script prevented her from improving this movie.

This much starpower hasn't been wasted since the destruction of death star.
