Honestly I remember having a great time, we spent the whole movie shrieking every time we saw a game compliant prop or weapon and naming out all the moves the assassins did that you could do in the game.

    Most of the scenes where played in Spain as well as Malta (where I am from) and this movie was my first time playing an extra, I was one of the thousands of Spanish soldiers charging into battle, they definitely cut out the scene we were in but here's a story about that
    We spent the entire day in a literal moat wearing woolen tunics, pants and leather boots, complete with a plastic helm and were told to grow out our hair and beard during one of the most brutally hot summer days in Malta (it's often hot and humid during August and September). We rolled and rerolled the same unused shot of us Spaniards charging and clashing into the enemy army and 19 year old me who wanted to give my all, charged Spartan style into a stuntman's shield. Didn't want to hurt him but dumbass me thought he'd parry it, didn't know we had to stop exactly in front of the 'enemy', all they told us was it was a fight. Anyways, I was shouted at for punting a rubber spear tip in someone's chest and told to move on back, obviously I still stayed up front because amongst hundreds of identical looking men, who could tell?
    Safe to say it was one of the best summer days of my life 😁

      I give it credit for branching out. Re-treading the same old story over and over gets old af and the lack of a modern timeline or characters to give a shit about just removes the whole point of the story in the first place.
      It was nice to see another ancestral lineage of assassins, it gets pretty unbelievable having every single notable assassin come from one family who all find the major plot devices and are spread throughout every major historical location related to the plot. It makes sense Abstergo would have other projects with other subjects from different lineages.

      @Cactus Malone from what I can tell, by the end of AC1 Desmond figures out that abstergo are templars (also right in the beginning of the game is told that Desmond is no ordinary bartender, he was born as an assassin), and the assassins make a failed move to rescue Desmond from abstergo, however, Lucy breaks Desmond out, it's an interesting plot twist, that abstergo are the same guys you are fighting in the animus
      Edit: she just keeps Desmond alive in AC1, so she has time to break him out in AC2

    I replayed AC1 and Ezio's trilogy recently and it was a really fun ride. How I miss the og AC games being just about fighting sneaking assassination and climb historic buildings. And I still think Ezio's trilogy has the best storytelling and character development through all the AC games. The moment when ezio meets Desmond in Altair's chamber hits hard just like it did for me years ago. Really hoping the new game that's coming out will step down from the mythical lore and back to the historical theme.

      AC1 was ok as the first game but honestly gets boring fast. Now Ezio games are great because you not only have a improved game in every way but get a interesting story and protagonist.
      Black Flag was fun because of a big change in environment and gameplay. You still had that feeling of polished game. Like just traveling across the sea and hearing your crew sing.
      After that AC games went to shit. Only few years ago I finished Syndicate because epic games gave it for free. It was again a big change in environment that made it fun but story felt like a big meaningless journey for a artifact that isn't as powerful as apple of eden.
      They should have just traveled across key points in time. Now they go back and forth between different points in history. Adding weak rpg mechanics and huge maps with 9999 boring tasks shit out across them. I don't understand how people are not tired from same shit over and over. Just look how many AC games exist. I played 6 and naturally feel fatigue.

      You see there were times when it was new. Vice City didn't have insanely interesting collectibles but it was ok because they were easily found collectibles. There are games that have good collectibles.
      Tell me my retard friend. How many AC games exist already? How many games exist that use same formula?
      I could name you few more examples of good collectibles but how about we use first Arkham Asylum game. You have many different collectibles. You have lore about Asylum, riddles that use Batman universe stuff and etc. These are examples of good collectibles. Metal Gear games have good collectibles too.
      Back in the day for example Assassin's Creed 2 collectibles were ok. You had a city and you searched for feathers or paintings. At least you got something after you found these feathers even if it was tedious. Even If I bough a weapon I won't use it still added value to my mansion that generated gold.
      Collectibles were not always tedious. Usually it was content for people who wanted more. What do we get now? Clear this outpost shit style stuff.
      Now they create huge maps and obvious obstacles to force you to buy exp boosts because they added unnecessary rpg mechanics.
      Do you realize that newer Assassin's Creed games like Valhalla are not really about assassins. You can just slap any other title.
      Anyway I don't know about what "historical lessons" you are talking about. You clearly have no idea what old gaming was and what modern gaming is. You will suck a wiener because you love Assassins Creed 24 when it clearly lost it's soul long time ago.

It irked me the wrong way that Desmond (who spent his days still plugged into a machine) knowing how to fight with just ...memories. if you don't force the muscle he could have gotten injured irl for it. The Arminus in this movie makes you use your muscles to have the warm up. You're training just body and mind into becoming that ancestor. I also loved that the past is all in Spanish. It was a really nice touch to keep you immersed. I liked Spain. The costumes. But it's like in this void of nothing. 😂 Like things happened then they ended.

The meaning of removing the finger was to allow use of the hidden blade but also so they wouldn't marry and swear a lifelong oath to the Brotherhood. So for it to be done on Aguila's right hand MANY years after Altair made all these changes to the order just... doesn't make sense????

Seeing it and how it depicted the Inquisition and Reconquista is cool looking back, and having The Cathedral of Seville and Christopher Columbus’s tomb used is always a treat. I finally got to see them in person last year and it was special. The seeds of discovery can come from the most unlikely of sources.

    Assassin's Creed would make for great shows/movies, just not in the way the games are structured. The political structures during real world battles and events coinciding with the whole freedom vs Control theme would make for really interesting plots and characters. But that would mean less action and more worldbuilding first, which drives off customers, so I don't have high hopes for that ever happening. Heck even the games aren't allowed to fully explore these themes anymore.

    I remember seeing a trailer for this ages ago, and I felt like I was one of the only people who even remembered this movie existed

    I was just talking about this movie the other day. It's a weird part of the past that we proudly forgot

    My mom has a very strange fixation on bad movies, so she forced me to watch this in theather. I have played almost all of the games that were out at the time, and I was literally screaming in the cinema, because I hated how much they altered the lore from the games. And I'm pretty sure Aguilar is nonexistent in the original lore, so they lost me on that, I tought it will be about Ezzio. 😅
