Short review: Great visuals...not much else going for it...


The movie had great potential but sadly the script was a mess. Justin Kurzel (didn't like him before the movie, and i thought macbeth was a mess) really did the best he could with this *beep* script and i was suprised at how beautiful this movie was shot. The biggest problem were the characters. I've never seen a movie with such underdeveloped and unlikeable characters. 2nd biggest problem was that the present was boring for the most part and we spent the most time there.

Positives:

- beautiful shot movie
- exciting action scenes
- good score and sound editing

Negatives:

- underdeveloped and unlikeable characters
- present time is boring and dragged out
- bland story

In the end its a merciful 5/10 for me. Its just sad that they didnt go with a story from the games bc every AC game had a better fitting story for a movie than what they came up with...In the scene with all the assassins from past time they really should have put Altair, Ezio and Connor in it to give the fans something to cheer about and hype up for a sequel but all we got is Arno... really?...

Interesting take.
