Review of Assassin's Creed (2016) by Odens_Taint — 22 Dec 2016

I almost didn't see this movie after seeing the negative critic reviews, however, better logic won me over as I have played the games and loved them. This movie was awesome for a person who knows setting and what is going on, I believe Ubisoft tailored this game towards the fans and not newcomers and in that they did an amazing job. I am left wanting to go see this movie again, Fassbender and his supporting cast played the hell out of their roles. I thought the revamped version of the "Animus" looked stupid in the previews and was very surprised it didn't bother me while watching and it in fact grew on me as I started to understand the change more. I loved the visuals and the setting. All that being said I believe the main cause for the bad reviews from some is the fact that they have not played the games and do not know the world, followed by Ubisoft shoving information from a game that lasts anywhere from 8-30 hours and has time to explain into a 2 hour movie and that may have confused some.

The character development was there and maybe some are used to long drawn out explanations that would have been considered boring in an awesome action flick like this, I felt I knew each characters role and where they were coming from.

I would implore anyone interested to give it a chance and go see it if you are a fan of the games or just really like a good action movie, its worth the time and money....
