Assassins Creed VS xXx: Return of Xander Cage


How is it that a movie like xXx: Return of Xander Cage can do well from the start but Assassins Creed can't?
I would have thought AC was more story driven than XXX, and the fights are miles better. I enjoyed AC but the action in XXX gave me a migraine.

I don't know either.Recently i saw a review about xXx:return of xander cage and one of the reviewers said:"I know is *beep* loved,i give an 8!".Seriously? An 8? And the same person gave Assassins creed a 3.I dont uderstand maybe we saw a differnt movie.Personaly im'nt a gamer at all.I didn't know much about Assassins creed games.Before i go to see the movie i was really disappointed from the bad reviews but eventually i loved!It's a pity especially for Fassbender who is also a producer for this film. 

Seriously all XXX was boys playing with toy cars and bikes. Blowing things up just for the hell of it. Girls either being sexy badass or clumsy nerds. If I'd call a movie mindless entertainment. If wouldn't even be this one because all that flashing gave me a headache. I rate AC far more than XXX. AC plot made sense to me. In fact it made me hope for a sequel so the story would continue. The fight choreography in AC is superior. Like an ancient dance. The pacing is better too. My partner loves Vin Deisel because of his Fast and Furious movies but even he was disappointed with XXX.

Im still perplexed that XXX is rated higher than AC

I am starting to believe that they hate the movie because it demonstrate christians as bad guys.
We are in bad times actually.
Somebody says that he left before the movie ends. WTF?

I don't understand. Every religion has done bad in the name of their faith. Why deny that.

I know friend. But I leave in Europe. Racism and fascism is rising again all over EU. Nobody is listening.

I live in Europe too. I agree to some extent. Media always paints the worse side of news (rightly so) but really they should give the positives with the negatives. I suppose I can understand when Hollywood hyjacks a particular religion and always portrays them as the villains in movies. But st the end of the day, if we all look back at the history of our religion, we will find moments when our faith ruled with unsavoury methods.

Felt the same way. XXX feels like it was edited through a blender, this at least the action was exciting and the acting was decent.

Trying to create a channel based on interpreting, reviewing, and even giving you something to laugh about film. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance.
