Review of Assassin's Creed (2016) by Dardanian — 20 Jan 2017
Assassin's Creed is such a disappointing film. While it does has a few positive points, it still has some major flaws that outweigh those positive aspects. The main thing that this movie excels at is the action.
The action's fast, fun and well-directed. However, the action sequences mainly take place in the past sections of the movie, that make up about 35% of this movie's length. But that percentage is disappointingly low, considering that the Assassin's Creed games are known for their epic historic stories, and not for their mediocre 'present' stories.
And also the 'past' sections' story is very thin, since these sections are filled with non-stop action scenes. The other 65% of the movie takes place in the 'present', and the present sections are terrible.
They're slow, they're dull and they're so poorly-executed. The characters lack character development and, in the end, I didn't really care for any of them. Assassin's Creed is a movie that takes itself way too seriously, and because of that, it lacks charm, resulting in a painfully boring experience.
