Review of Assassin's Creed (2016) by Kevin C — 19 Mar 2017
As a huge fan of the game series I was very excited to see this movie. Unfortunately it's a hot mess. There were some really good actors in the movie but that didn't seem to help. For one thing it did a very poor job of explaining anything about the assassins, what they are about (in the game lore) and why they're even fighting the templars. It becomes more clear at the end but anyone who isn't a fan of the games would be pretty utterly lost during the entirety of the movie.
It was overly cinematic, the Animus was nothing like in the games, and the overall plot of the movie was so kludged together it wound up extremely difficult to even stay awake during, let alone enjoy.
If I had to sum it up in one sentence:
Boring uninspired mess which leaves the audience confused.
