Review of Assassin's Creed (2016) by Marcovelous — 29 Dec 2016

This is a film tailor-made for hardcore Assassin's Creed fans. If you know nothing about the Assassin's Creed universe, you will end up with 100000 questions marks in your head while and after watching it.

Everything core about the game is preserved. It feels like the first Assassin's Creed game very much. And by mentioning core I mean it is about the modern day story. The modern day story is the core please!!! The action is well-designed and my heart is jumping fast and my hands sweat a lot! Don't believe the critics 100%, see it for yourself after getting some background knowledge about the game before you watch it.

The actors are quite good. Though I would like the film to dig more into the ancestor story as well as the conflicts between the core values of Assassins and Templars. More elaborations would be great.

But this at least for me does not become a letdown because the story itself is already enough for a 2-hour length. Overall, the film has brought the game to life in the reality of 2016.
