This Isn't Even Assassin's Creed! (REVIEW)


I don't ask for much in this world. I really don't. I just want good movies. This film is beyond belief. I could not believe what was happening on screen. Think of every possible way not to do an Assassin's Creed movie, and they did it. The script is a mess, the dialogue is atrocious, the performances are over-the-top, the action is frustrating, the editing is mind-boggling... nothing in this movie works. Assassin's Creed rips off so many movies so blatantly that I started to keep track. Here are just a few of the films it rips off-- The Matrix, Mad Max, Guardians of the Galaxy, Alien, James Bond, Fast and the Furious, Wanted. Not only did it carry over the tone and feel of those films, but exact sequences from those movies were copied in Assassin's Creed. This movie is nothing like games. Aside from the costume design and the fact that they are using the Animus, there is nothing in this movie that links it to the video game. It feels a lot like other video game movie adaptations, like Doom, where they just make a movie and slap the title on it. This movie has barely any resemblance to the game, and will only make fans of the series angry. I saw it with a friend of mine who's a huge fan of the video games, and he was furious with how this movie openly sh*ts on the video games...

Well, it should be kinda close to The Matrix. I'm thinking Assassin's Creed should be The Matrix with the machines sending him into the Matrix instead of the Zionist.
