Review of Assassin's Creed (2016) by Trevordevendorf — 31 Dec 2016

I've been a fan of AC since 2008 when I played the first game... by now I fully understand the story and narrative, and continuity of all these stories being all connected. The overwhelming aspect is the long ass war between Assassins and Templars and fighting for control of order and peace through First Civ tech called pieces of Eden.

By the way, if you don't know anything about the games, books, and comic-books and lore of this series you may not enjoy the film. In my opinion, I loved this movie, it hits everything I like about the games (stealthy aspects/eavesdropping/the action & combat + hidden blades) and its very stunning, and visually entertaining! the atmosphere is well made! Top Notch Cinematographer, Adam Arkapaw, same dude that worked on Macbeth another Fassbender film! which Fassbender should get an award/nominated the best male performance, I loved his take on both characters Callum Lynch and Aguilar de Nerha.

loved all the references and Easter eggs throughout the film! Justin Kurzel did a fantastic job for the whole composition, I was surprised though that is was short of 2 hours, it really told the story in a fresh pace.
