Most of these critics giving negative reviews


sound like they don't even know the slightest thing about the games and it's sort of irritating. I know I'm still gonna see it and enjoy the hell out of it no matter what critics say. :D

this year what Warcraft and AC managed to show is how easy is to *beep* up great stories with mistakes. Im a Warcraft fan and I liked the movie for most of it, but it had bunch of problems.

Now watching the reviews from Jeremy Jahns and John Campea, opinions I value over all those pro critics, it seems that AC had the same problem like Warcraft. Too much info pushed into 2-3 hours of movie that goes into lack of proper character development and explaining kinda important things that non fans need. Both of those reviews said that stuff happening in the past is great but it's way too short and that rest of the movie is just some sci-fi drama stuff in the lab.

now, as a person who knows AC only by those great middle ages assassins stuff, I would kinda expect to see majority of movie happening there. I hope it will go well on the BO and that China will save the day again.

Thank YOU!!! I saw it and it's NOT A BAD MOVIE!! Great action scenes. The dialog could be better. It just doesn't deserve the extremely low scores. HELL NO!

It's ok to like more than one actor. :))

If you've literally decided you're going to "enjoy the hell" out of a movie no matter what, why would you even look at reviews? That's a silly way to look at it anyway. Do you decide a meal is going to be fantastic before it's served and refuse to change your mind even if it turns out to be a bowl of cloves in mustard?

Frankly, knowing something about the game should never be a requirement for one of these adaptations. Making it an "inside baseball" kind of product would just serve to limit its audience. 99% of its potential audience are just hoping for an exciting story, not checking off a list of bits that match what gamers are expecting.

I saw the movie just this morning and was mediocre at best really

Most of negatives look like this:
"SOME ILLUMINATI CHASING RIDICULOUSLY STRONG APPLE BY MACHINE WHO COULD HELP THEM SEE MEMORIES OF THEIR ANCESTORS? WHAT A DUMB IDEA XDDDDD THIS PLOT IS SO STUPIED XDDDDD
AND THIS IDIOTIC STORY IS TRYING TO TAKE ITSELF SERIOUSLY XDDDDDDD".

The best part is they haven't got this kind of troubles with - for example - Tarzan

I'm very curious about if I were to go see this movie and what I would think of it. Why? Because I've never played any assassin's creed game to begin with.

It's that kind of attitude that makes the scoring of these movies so irritatingly irrelevant. So many people (I'm not saying you're one of them) I'm betting have given it high scores without even seeing it just because they like the game.

And even if it's not much good those same people will defend it to the death for the same reason.


...then whoa, differences...
