I saw it in the cinema and vividly remember being so impatient for them to get out of the modern world plot, only for it to take up a majority of the movie. It's basically mind-numbing plot with bits of cool visuals and action sprinkled in. Oh plus me and my friend both laughed out loud when they left the ending open as if there'd ever be a sequel.
The EXACT same experience as me lol. We went as a group to watch the movies, not particularly hyped, but somewhat hopeful. Then left laughing because the movie had the audacity to sequel bait.
I saw this movie opening night at midnight in highschool with my friend who also liked assassins creed. 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. I’m not sure either of us could have told you the plot but we had a blast. God help the like 5 other people in the theater with us I’m sure we were annoying as hell.
If the 5 other people didn't walk out etc the moment you two got too into yourselves while watching it then it's a bizarre but fun experience for all of you together that one screening.
Assasin's Creed 1 and the Ezio triology was actually pretty good. We followed Ezio from the beginning to the end. We saw him grow up and becoming wiser. He definitelly deserves a movie.
will say syndicate wasn't bad the twins were good as well and if you didn't play through odyssey well that was an insane story too and the lore makes sense because your character holds a piece of Eden through out the entire game that's why your so OP but then Valhalla came and was just so boring didn't think Vikings could be boring
@@browski2123 Sydicate was kind mediocre tbh, tho I liked it Odyssey tho, it's horrible because of how it messes up with the lore and how hard it tries to be funny but isn't. The story was meh too tbh.
@@cactusmalone Can’t even remember the marketing to this one but I do feel like if it was Desmond’s story and made it clear in the trailers, probably would of done better. I didn’t even see this one and I was a die hard AC fan from 1 to Origins. Cheers!
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.
Honestly, making AC1 story with a sprinkle of extra psychological horror (especially in abstergo) and changing the story from a hit list for a less repetitive story could lend a really good movie
@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 went to watch this movie when it came out, it wasnt anything out of this world, but I really liked it considering how hard it usually is to adapt video games into movies
Yeah maybe. But the arm animus wasnt a bad idea either I think, more dinamic than the dude just lying there, the old animus works fine for the game since Desmond doesnt do much, but for an action movie I think it was a good choice
I saw this movie in theaters. I got a free ticket with my copy of the Ezio Collection. I liked it, and I spoke to a couple of people after the movie who didn't seem impressed, but they didn't hate it. They put a lot of work into it, and even had a stunt guy perform the leap of faith from a high platform.
This movie was f*cking awful. A bastardization of the game franchise as well. This was a 1.4/10 movie. They should not have released that. I honestly wished I never existed. And I’m rarely this doomer about movies
@@honest_126 no. For what reason? I am certainly not chill about how negatively I feel about this movie. You expect me to “be chill” about something because you told me to😆they released garbage into the world off a popular game ip for $💀😭
JUST WATCHED THIS LAST NIGHT the sands of time movie was actually alright considering I only played one of the games back on PS2 and I barely remember it
Ironically AC is a franchise born from a sequel for Prince of Persia. They figured they were straying too far from POP's lore and decided to call it something new instead.
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.
@@grimoireweiss5203 Collectables have always been tedious, have you ever tried collecting all the feathers or flags in AC 1 and the ezio trilogy? Also the final Florence Arc in AC 2 is easily more boring than anything in new AC. Historical themes are still in AC by the way, they even have interactive history lessons now, if you don’t know what you’re talking about: shut up
@@daxtonperry7208 its significantly more bearable when the map isnt the entirety of fucking greece. I do agree that the current games still have historical stuff, but they chose the most boring viking time period for Valhalla and its not even accurate. Vikings were not a friendly bunch. They pillaged and when they couldn't, they would trade.
@@daxtonperry7208 Collectibles have always existed in games. Your point? 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. I often find funny stuff when I click other peoples profiles but yours was just pure cringe. I even go so far to say that it's special kind of cringe. Proof that not anyone can be comedian.
@@dovydascep6021 lol did you play the game? I wouldn’t call all the vikings friendly, and they did a lot more than pillage, vikings is just a name we give an entire nation of people at the time. You don’t think they ever got along with someone? And calling it a boring time is completely subjective, I find it fascinating. If you don’t, fine, don’t play the game, but don’t say it’s a bad game and that it’s not “assassins creed” anymore.
I remember this movie. I worked at a movie, music, and game store and we used to put it on in the background while we worked sometimes because it sounds really cool but you don’t feel compelled to watch it lol.
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 could explain the ezio series with no problem, the story is actually pretty damn rad. I played those games tripping off far too much DXM and the story was just blowing my mind into space lmao. so now i'll never forget it haha
You should review Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within as it bombed so hard that it caused the studio to close. Also how actors were worried that the realistic character models would make human actors obsolete.
Didn't just close the studio, it nearly killed Square altogether. They were forced to merge with Enix to survive and the failure resulted in Hironobu Sakaguchi (the father of the franchise) leaving the company out of shame.
Actually, the gauntlets were the hidden blades, and Aguilar removing his ring signified his commitment to the brotherhood, as well as the whole thing about the abstergo patience being able to fight like assasins was due to the bleeding effect, which allows them to learn through the animus, just to clear that up
@@TonyQuinn well if I remember correctly the bleeding effect isn't all good there's a chance that the animus just absorbs your concussions and kills your body leaving that person stuck in a limbo forever.there was also the seizures it gives but you know not as dangerous as the previous thing but still there also is basically guaranteed to happen
don't even remember if they explain it with something in the movie. they just have the protagonist see Aguilar walking around from time to time and then trying to kill him, but no scene actually saying "He's 'Bleeding' the past life, put him down till it stabilizes" or a "Shit, why did this one start so quick" since the guy spent maybe a week at that facility
@@badasscrusader not just seizures but the person would become sick and see stuff sometimes because they desynchronized. It actually has effects on the user if they don't everything exactly like the ancestor.
Yeah exactly lol. He’s talking about how the movie is bad but he literally at the beginning of the video admitted to knowing nothing about the lore. Yeah lets criticize the lore that i know nothing about. That in on its own basically dismisses whatever opinion he could have on the movie.
That =3 transition really hit me with an unexpected blast of nostalgia of the RWJ days oh my god warn me before throwing a nostalgia flashbang like that again, Elvis.
Assassins Creed is so easy to grasp, my Grandpa walked in on me playing AC 1 and he said "That Man looks like he's gonna assassinate someone any Moment"
The stories in the later games are meehhh but the Ezio storyline has a special place in my heart. I remember being completely sucked in by it and playing like 10hours a day on the weekends because i just craved more and more. I personally would love to see that storyline being brought to the screen, but i am also very afraid they will butcher it 🙃.
I remember seeing trailers for this movie all over TH-cam only for any trace of its existence to completely vanish after it came out. I didn’t see anyone talking about how good or bad it was, no one was making fun of it, it just straight up disappeared and I completely forgot about it until this video
I am one of the few that never forgot, even before this video. But the reason why I didn’t forget is because I was one of the few who seemed to enjoy it. I wouldn’t say that it’s perfect but I also wouldn’t say it’s terrible either. I think some people are a bit harsh because they want the perfect movie. Every year or two I come back to the movie, but only in hope that a new one comes out soon (a better one to be more precise).
I unironically enjoyed this film tbh. I thought the Animus was kinda weird but also a good way to explain how diving into the Animus a lot gives you your ancestors capabilities
When I saw this movie I really liked their take of the Animus. 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.

That's actually addressed in one of the games. In AC3 they mention that there's micro movements in the tissues that prevents them from going numb.
The designe of that animus and later the ygridsal device from the isu locking the same and both creating simulations made me wonder if the Generel of the Cross is a Isu who put his councies into the Grey and found a way to comunicate with templers at somepoint via an Pice of Eden and then createt Abstergo. Abstergos Symbol used to be connectet to the Isu. And baldre is hintet at beeing Alife inside a Simulation. It would also be full circel for the templers
As an avid movie-goer, I have only fallen asleep in the theater two times. I saw this movie the day it came out. I woke up during the previews of its next showing.
*9:05* Yeah, I can see why people say that. I read Assassin's Creed Blackflag's book form and it only focused on Edward Kenway's story and not the employee you play in the game. It keeps the story together a lot more and such even if some of the stuff in the present/future is interesting. I think a good AC game would just be to make a present day one, because the Assassins still exist as well. Not sure how they'd do it though.
Yeah I loved it the past scenes were all awesome and it follows the plot of the games. The apple was always something they were searching for so idk why people be confused
The original Assassin’s Creed games had a dope story. The stuff with the apple and Adam and Eve and how the Templars have hidden the truth about humanity for so many generations is so fucking cool. Never played past 3 though and I loved the story so much
I have this on DVD! One thing that bugs me is that they don't actually have to cut his finger off as the blade is designed to mitigate that need now, was redesigned some time before the start of the historical segment, in fact!
Still have the movie edition of the hidden blade toy (the one with the rubber blade) the theater gave out for opening night viewers. Movie had good action and stunt work from what I remember but that was about it. Hidden blade is cool tho.
Highly agree with what you said about how difficult it is to tell the plot / story from the game. I was only ever able to understand the stories when Oliver Bowden wrote books based on each of the Assassin's Creed protagonists (Ezio, Altair, Connor, Arno, etc.).
I saw the film in theaters and I honestly really enjoyed it. Though it was an original story about an original character in the universe, it felt faithful to the Assassin's Creed franchise and lore, and that was the most important thing for me.
Because he's a casual lol. The story is actually amazing and innovating. It's what sucked us real fans all in. People who don't care about the modern day are casuals.
Because it's not really anything special, especially after the 3rd game lol. Plus it feels like ubisoft throws as much in to try to distract you from the plot as possible. AC is like a collectathon game, but with some combat, parkour, and 'sneak 5ft behind two characters talking for 10 minutes'.
@@emstink I mean, AC 4 had a super good story, like one of the best imo, then AC unity and Syndicate were alright, nothing too big there. But then origins comes in and damn that story is good
@Brandon Guevara lol your responding to another casual. I don't know why so many casuals love to speak on this game like they're really into it. I guess the hype and popularity draws them in. So they can be a part of the hype train or something. Elvis is a huge clout chaser. A former leafy clone that stabbed him in the back. So it makes sense why he would act like he's into AC. The first few things that came out of his mouth was cringe. It screamed try hard.
I'll never forget this movie cus my family take me to see it on my birthday when i have never played an AC game in my life, but i always been the "gamer" of the family so it was a cute gesture, it was boring as hell and no one had fun but i got ice cream so i guess it was fine in the end... Edit: we REALLY need to start aprecciating the stunt dobles more, they deserve alot more❤🔥
This is definitely a guilty pleasure movie for me. It’s so silly and takes itself so seriously that it becomes accidentally hilarious. When he first wakes up and stumbles about the place in slow motion for what feels like days, I just find it incredibly funny.
I watched this in theaters and I thought it was ok. Probably the best videogame movie up to that point besides maybe Wreck-it-Ralph. My intrigue was that is was set in Spain which is one my ancestral homes and my dads home country. 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.
I've both read and played Assassin's Creed Blackflag multiple times, so I could definitely tell you the story of that one if you just laid out the mission list basically. To answer the question at the start of the review.
Yea tbh I don't think the story of these games is that lacking, I can't really speak for any of the ones after Rogue tho as after that the games kinda went off the rails a bit
I don't think he meant the stories withen the history, I think he meant more of the whole thing between the assassins and the templers I do remember couple of the storylines withen the old games which were fairly decent, the whole Kenway family ark that happend on the span of 3 games was really great
@@dorxly fair enough I guess, although I kinda felt the first couple of games cleared it up pretty well. Most of the actual lore happens in the non-animus sections iirc so I feel lile people maybe don't pay too much attention during those parts because they're not as exciting. It helps a tremendous amount if you read the little logs you can find in the non-animus sections, especially during AC4
@@EdgingYoda I totally agree, because I was one of those people, I remember hardly caring for the non-animus parts, especially after the death of Desmond and the only reason I liked the parts of his non-animus adventures because his parts had actual gameplay, the usual parkor and fight snippets here and there, which actually made me excited for an assassins creed game in modern time and then they messed that up with turning it into a walking simulator
The ring finger scene really doesn't make sense in the movie either cause the main character from the first game, Altair, abolished the need to remove your finger after he took over after the events of his game. 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????
Man I remember as a kid around 10-11, which is 10 years ago now, (crazy on its own) but I got obsessed with parkour because of this franchise and it 100% got me in trouble more than once for climbing on buildings I absolutely should not have climbed. I'm talking my small towns Bank for one example.
@Senritsu} {Jumpsuit for me and my buddies it was mostly adults just yelling at us lol, we only ever got the cops called once and they just chewed us out for being shitheads
Even though I’m a hardcore fan of assassins creed, the fact you knew that the hidden blade is on the left hand to keep the sword hand strong despite not playing the games for a long time I’d very impressive, Ezio would be proud
It's definitely an interesting movie. Gotta say though, the drone score from Jed Kurzel, the director's brother is VERY good. I've heard in conversation, that the film is a classic example of studios taking control with Justin Kurzel not having much control of the final product, and a lot being cut out.
I actually saw this in theaters bc when I was young assassins creed was my favorite series and I thought this movie was gonna be amazing. I’ve never been so sad walking out of a theater but looking at it now, it doesn’t look that bad
Back when it was coming out I heard from my stepfather that "the guy who played magneto" was going to be the protagonist and I immediately thought of Ian McKellen jumping from rooftops I still think it's a shame that it didn't adapt the first game or the Ezio trilogy, because Desmond isn't half-bad as a protagonist, but it was a dumb, fun movie for me
Animus concept in this movie was super cool I was anticipating for the animus scenes because in the game you usually see the modern characters laying down on the machine but here in the movie was breath of fresh air loved it.
This movie is very accurate. The past used to be 50% more green. You can remove a person's free will with a magic fushigi ball. And having weapons in a prison makes perfect sense, because how else is the hero supposed to break out from the prison in the third act?
Oh wow, the security guard you pointed out towards the end of the video is the French farmer from Inglorious Basterds who has that mesmerising opening scene with Christoph Waltz. Guy carried one half of the best opening scene in movie history and is also in a shitty adaption of a mid video game series in a bit part, amazing.
i saw this movie on a first date when i was like 14 and it was one of the most awkward experiences of my life. i think i repressed both the date and the movie until this video, so, thanks elvis :')
Elvis: I couldn't tell you a thing about the lore Elvis a couple minutes later: They chop off the left hand ring finger so that your sword hand remains free
Lol I went through a huge AC phase for years, I had all of the games that released on the 360 and was so hyped for this movie when it was coming out, I even got the DVD... I remember nothing of this movie but I remember many of the games plots/storylines vividly. This movie is like a fever dream.
I watched it and actually loved it. It was dumb fun and only recently found out that there was gonna be a second one with a bigger budget and a better look. It was also on the verge of releasing but executives cancelled it along with a bunch of other movies.
4:22 I watched this movie on cinemas with my brother, a big Assassin's Creed fan (At least of the early ones) and I told him "1492 is the year Columbus found out about America" and... well, I burst out laughing when I realized I predicted a plot point
These games have such a close connection to me since I used to watch my father play the games so much as a child and I absolutely loved the vibe of the games. One of the best things that happened so often was he would get so angry when he would miss the hey bails when he tried to jump into them from high places and would die or get hurt. Every time I could hear him go “Oh come on!!” Or “Ughhhhh” and it would always make me laugh. It’s a core memory in my mind.
✨My best friend and i knew about the movie coming and were HYPED about it so we went to the premiere. When the movie ended and the lights went on, we looked at each other in silence for a while, stood up and left without saying anything. We havent talked about it ever since.✨
I remember around the time this released , my parents bought me a random poster for the movie. I believe that poster's been tucked away in storage ever since. Wasn't intrigued by the movie and the games haven't really pulled me in all that much, though I've played through all of them.
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. 😅
My brother and I watched this movie together when I was younger. He was obsessed with the games and at the end of the movie he very loudly, i remember this so freaking well bc it was one of the few times we hung out, yells “ WHAT IN THE EVER FUCKING SHIT WAS THAT?!”
The modern parts from AC1 through AC3 were the reasons I was excited for the next game. It's super cool playing the ancestors and then getting bits and pieces from the modern time storyline..it all was leading up to Desmond being a master assassin..then they fucked up by killing him off -_-
I remember it having Michael Fassbender singing while being carried by guards, and that Abstergo stupidly trained assassin's to betray them with weapons ready for them, while holding them prisoners for information.
A man complaining about capitalism in front of his movie posters after advertising for a mobile game developed by a multi-million dollar company. How inspirational.
The only one I've fallen asleep in theatre is John Wick 4 recently, I had binge watched the three movies before going to the theatres, that I got so tired and fell asleep and missed 1/3 of the movie
challenge accepted 2:52 Ac1: An assassin messes up, getting his order killed and has to rebuild it while escaping the templars. AC2: A young troublemaker joins the assassins after his family is killed by templars and takes up his fathers war Ac3: i do not remember but it lets us play a native american during the revolutionary war and that’s cool enough. + some stuff with betrayal or assassins switching sides and most importantly the pieces of eden take front stage the stuff with desmond can be ignored for simplicity but its literally “we’re going to watch your ancestors through your memory so we can figure out where they hid the macguffin” tbh AC 2/Bh/R could be a trilogy by themselves
You just listed a bunch of political talking points for... the cause of violence? Capitalism? Really? Sigghhh, ok, I just gotta let this go.... BUT NOT WITHOUT A COMMENT!
I never heard a thing about this movie until I was in Mexico on vacation, I was on a bus ride for a few hours and they had a personal screen with movies to choose from, this was near the start and I liked assassins creed so I clicked on it. It put me to sleep faster than if I had just tried to fall asleep for the bus ride.
The vision of the assassin and the random singing seems to be a reference to the bleeding effect from the games, kinda cool thing to include in a mediocre movie.
The fact that this movie is so boring because it focuses more on the story of Assassin's Creed is really a testament to how boring the story of Assassin's Creed is. Like being an assassin was always fun, but sitting around in modern times while people exposition story beats to me was not.
I rmb seeing this in the theatres with my friends back in highschool, but thats it, I dont rmb anything abt the film itself, just that we went to see it, and came out a bit confused. Same thing happened when we saw the Power Ranger n Warcraft adaptations, good times.

Odyssey tho, it's horrible because of how it messes up with the lore and how hard it tries to be funny but isn't.
The story was meh too tbh.
Tv show would be cooler imo
Yeah it’s too long-winded a trilogy for films, would make more sense as a television series
If they told us the story of Desmond it could be cool because it has a very cohesive story with beginning, middle and ending
@@cactusmalone Can’t even remember the marketing to this one but I do feel like if it was Desmond’s story and made it clear in the trailers, probably would of done better. I didn’t even see this one and I was a die hard AC fan from 1 to Origins. Cheers!
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.
Honestly, making AC1 story with a sprinkle of extra psychological horror (especially in abstergo) and changing the story from a hit list for a less repetitive story could lend a really good movie
@Cactus Malone it's kinda the twist in 1, the templars and assassins are still fighting, it works really well
@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 went to watch this movie when it came out, it wasnt anything out of this world, but I really liked it considering how hard it usually is to adapt video games into movies
the actual assassin parts were great... the abstergo stuff as per usual was so unnecessary and such a borefest
Yeah maybe. But the arm animus wasnt a bad idea either I think, more dinamic than the dude just lying there, the old animus works fine for the game since Desmond doesnt do much, but for an action movie I think it was a good choice
I saw it with my dad when it came out in theaters. It was a decent action flick.
Same!! I didn't think it was *that* bad as everyone said it was when it came out but lol
@@XxGamer42069xX The games have the same lame ass issue too tbf lmaooo
I saw this movie in theaters. I got a free ticket with my copy of the Ezio Collection. I liked it, and I spoke to a couple of people after the movie who didn't seem impressed, but they didn't hate it. They put a lot of work into it, and even had a stunt guy perform the leap of faith from a high platform.
The fights scenes were pretty cool, only problem I had with them was that they kept switching back and fourth between past and present
Yeah, it doesn't seem horrible, just meh.
This movie was f*cking awful. A bastardization of the game franchise as well. This was a 1.4/10 movie. They should not have released that. I honestly wished I never existed. And I’m rarely this doomer about movies
@@dime1012 Chill tf out.
@@honest_126 no. For what reason? I am certainly not chill about how negatively I feel about this movie. You expect me to “be chill” about something because you told me to😆they released garbage into the world off a popular game ip for $💀😭
How they got Fassbender and Cottilard in this movie, just this entire cast, it's the most overloaded talent cast for a video game movie
The Ezio trilogy genuinely does have a great story. That’s when AC was at its peak in terms of narrative
If you're doing live action game adaptations, the Prince of Persia film is worth reviewing I would say.
THANK YOU
Prince of Persia might a better movie in adaptation of a game. No hate here.
JUST WATCHED THIS LAST NIGHT
the sands of time movie was actually alright considering I only played one of the games back on PS2 and I barely remember it
Ironically AC is a franchise born from a sequel for Prince of Persia. They figured they were straying too far from POP's lore and decided to call it something new instead.
Yeah,GREAT movie ( white as snow Jake Gylenhaal plays an arabian dude)
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.
@@grimoireweiss5203 Collectables have always been tedious, have you ever tried collecting all the feathers or flags in AC 1 and the ezio trilogy? Also the final Florence Arc in AC 2 is easily more boring than anything in new AC. Historical themes are still in AC by the way, they even have interactive history lessons now, if you don’t know what you’re talking about: shut up
@@daxtonperry7208 its significantly more bearable when the map isnt the entirety of fucking greece.
I do agree that the current games still have historical stuff, but they chose the most boring viking time period for Valhalla and its not even accurate.
Vikings were not a friendly bunch. They pillaged and when they couldn't, they would trade.
@@daxtonperry7208 Collectibles have always existed in games. Your point?
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.
I often find funny stuff when I click other peoples profiles but yours was just pure cringe. I even go so far to say that it's special kind of cringe. Proof that not anyone can be comedian.
@@dovydascep6021 lol did you play the game? I wouldn’t call all the vikings friendly, and they did a lot more than pillage, vikings is just a name we give an entire nation of people at the time. You don’t think they ever got along with someone? And calling it a boring time is completely subjective, I find it fascinating. If you don’t, fine, don’t play the game, but don’t say it’s a bad game and that it’s not “assassins creed” anymore.
I remember this movie. I worked at a movie, music, and game store and we used to put it on in the background while we worked sometimes because it sounds really cool but you don’t feel compelled to watch it lol.
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 😁
Dude that's really damn cool, it honestly sounds like that was a blast! Is Spain a beautiful place to live?
i could explain the ezio series with no problem, the story is actually pretty damn rad.
I played those games tripping off far too much DXM and the story was just blowing my mind into space lmao.
so now i'll never forget it haha
You should review Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within as it bombed so hard that it caused the studio to close. Also how actors were worried that the realistic character models would make human actors obsolete.
I had the PSP copy for that movie and found it a really cool idea. I didn't realize it bombed
Didn't just close the studio, it nearly killed Square altogether. They were forced to merge with Enix to survive and the failure resulted in Hironobu Sakaguchi (the father of the franchise) leaving the company out of shame.
I freakin LOVED that movie as a kid. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I leaned the movie was generally seen as terrible and bombed in theaters lol
Yeah the hype around it being so hyper realistic is hilarious when you look at it.
Actually, the gauntlets were the hidden blades, and Aguilar removing his ring signified his commitment to the brotherhood, as well as the whole thing about the abstergo patience being able to fight like assasins was due to the bleeding effect, which allows them to learn through the animus, just to clear that up
It’s still dumb that the people working at the facility would essentially make people use a machine that can, by proxy, turn them into a threat.
@@TonyQuinn well if I remember correctly the bleeding effect isn't all good there's a chance that the animus just absorbs your concussions and kills your body leaving that person stuck in a limbo forever.there was also the seizures it gives but you know not as dangerous as the previous thing but still there also is basically guaranteed to happen
don't even remember if they explain it with something in the movie. they just have the protagonist see Aguilar walking around from time to time and then trying to kill him, but no scene actually saying "He's 'Bleeding' the past life, put him down till it stabilizes" or a "Shit, why did this one start so quick" since the guy spent maybe a week at that facility
@@badasscrusader not just seizures but the person would become sick and see stuff sometimes because they desynchronized. It actually has effects on the user if they don't everything exactly like the ancestor.
Yeah exactly lol. He’s talking about how the movie is bad but he literally at the beginning of the video admitted to knowing nothing about the lore. Yeah lets criticize the lore that i know nothing about. That in on its own basically dismisses whatever opinion he could have on the movie.
That =3 transition really hit me with an unexpected blast of nostalgia of the RWJ days oh my god warn me before throwing a nostalgia flashbang like that again, Elvis.
Assassins Creed is so easy to grasp, my Grandpa walked in on me playing AC 1 and he said "That Man looks like he's gonna assassinate someone any Moment"
The stories in the later games are meehhh but the Ezio storyline has a special place in my heart. I remember being completely sucked in by it and playing like 10hours a day on the weekends because i just craved more and more. I personally would love to see that storyline being brought to the screen, but i am also very afraid they will butcher it 🙃.
I remember seeing trailers for this movie all over TH-cam only for any trace of its existence to completely vanish after it came out. I didn’t see anyone talking about how good or bad it was, no one was making fun of it, it just straight up disappeared and I completely forgot about it until this video
😆 😢 😭 🤣 😂 😃
I am one of the few that never forgot, even before this video. But the reason why I didn’t forget is because I was one of the few who seemed to enjoy it. I wouldn’t say that it’s perfect but I also wouldn’t say it’s terrible either. I think some people are a bit harsh because they want the perfect movie. Every year or two I come back to the movie, but only in hope that a new one comes out soon (a better one to be more precise).
I unironically enjoyed this film tbh. I thought the Animus was kinda weird but also a good way to explain how diving into the Animus a lot gives you your ancestors capabilities
its called the bleeding effect in the games
I loved the movie. Simple but done very well
I'm an assassin cosplayer and seeing this movie hurt my soul. I had such high hopes for it then we got the end result
When I saw this movie I really liked their take of the Animus. 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.
That's actually addressed in one of the games. In AC3 they mention that there's micro movements in the tissues that prevents them from going numb.
Not to mention the BLEEDING AFFECT
I mean that just makes it similar to the Matrix, but makes sense I guess
The designe of that animus and later the ygridsal device from the isu locking the same and both creating simulations made me wonder if the Generel of the Cross is a Isu who put his councies into the Grey and found a way to comunicate with templers at somepoint via an Pice of Eden and then createt Abstergo.
Abstergos Symbol used to be connectet to the Isu.
And baldre is hintet at beeing Alife inside a Simulation.
It would also be full circel for the templers
As an avid movie-goer, I have only fallen asleep in the theater two times.
I saw this movie the day it came out. I woke up during the previews of its next showing.
*9:05* Yeah, I can see why people say that. I read Assassin's Creed Blackflag's book form and it only focused on Edward Kenway's story and not the employee you play in the game. It keeps the story together a lot more and such even if some of the stuff in the present/future is interesting. I think a good AC game would just be to make a present day one, because the Assassins still exist as well. Not sure how they'd do it though.
I absolutely love the Black Flag novel.
They have to make the games way more stealth focused, and way more technological for it to be believable
Modern day Ac would basically be like the watch dogs games. They even had a modern day AC dlc set in the watch dogs universe. It was pretty cool
i feel wrong when I say that I actually kinda enjoyed this movie
Same bro I loved it
I loved it!
Yeah I loved it the past scenes were all awesome and it follows the plot of the games. The apple was always something they were searching for so idk why people be confused
Same here i like it too
Nothing wrong with that! Enjoy what you enjoy and don't let people tell you it's incorrect. Every bad movie has its fans :)
I remember it. And I actually loved it, despite a few things that felt off.
The original Assassin’s Creed games had a dope story. The stuff with the apple and Adam and Eve and how the Templars have hidden the truth about humanity for so many generations is so fucking cool. Never played past 3 though and I loved the story so much
the ezio trilogy especially
I have this on DVD! One thing that bugs me is that they don't actually have to cut his finger off as the blade is designed to mitigate that need now, was redesigned some time before the start of the historical segment, in fact!
I always felt like I imagined this movie. Geez
Same
This movie was assassinated so smoothly nobody even noticed
Still have the movie edition of the hidden blade toy (the one with the rubber blade) the theater gave out for opening night viewers. Movie had good action and stunt work from what I remember but that was about it. Hidden blade is cool tho.
Highly agree with what you said about how difficult it is to tell the plot / story from the game. I was only ever able to understand the stories when Oliver Bowden wrote books based on each of the Assassin's Creed protagonists (Ezio, Altair, Connor, Arno, etc.).
Saw it in theaters and was so hyped and left depressed. You nailed the likes and dislikes about the movie.
And yeah, stunt People need Oscars.
I saw the film in theaters and I honestly really enjoyed it. Though it was an original story about an original character in the universe, it felt faithful to the Assassin's Creed franchise and lore, and that was the most important thing for me.
How did you play AC without knowing the story? That is pretty impressive!
Because he's a casual lol. The story is actually amazing and innovating. It's what sucked us real fans all in. People who don't care about the modern day are casuals.
Because it's not really anything special, especially after the 3rd game lol. Plus it feels like ubisoft throws as much in to try to distract you from the plot as possible. AC is like a collectathon game, but with some combat, parkour, and 'sneak 5ft behind two characters talking for 10 minutes'.
@@emstink I mean, AC 4 had a super good story, like one of the best imo, then AC unity and Syndicate were alright, nothing too big there. But then origins comes in and damn that story is good
@Brandon Guevara lol your responding to another casual. I don't know why so many casuals love to speak on this game like they're really into it. I guess the hype and popularity draws them in. So they can be a part of the hype train or something. Elvis is a huge clout chaser. A former leafy clone that stabbed him in the back. So it makes sense why he would act like he's into AC. The first few things that came out of his mouth was cringe. It screamed try hard.
@THIZZAVELI the story is amazing only with the first 3. 4 and BF are fun but meh storywise, the rest I genuinely don't remember
I'll never forget this movie cus my family take me to see it on my birthday when i have never played an AC game in my life, but i always been the "gamer" of the family so it was a cute gesture, it was boring as hell and no one had fun but i got ice cream so i guess it was fine in the end...
Edit: we REALLY need to start aprecciating the stunt dobles more, they deserve alot more❤🔥
I remember trying to watch this on my phone at night during a road trip. I seriously could not make out what was happening on 90% of the scenes
i actually went to go see this movie with my dad in theaters we actually enjoyed it one of my best memories with my dad
This is definitely a guilty pleasure movie for me. It’s so silly and takes itself so seriously that it becomes accidentally hilarious. When he first wakes up and stumbles about the place in slow motion for what feels like days, I just find it incredibly funny.
I watched this in theaters and I thought it was ok. Probably the best videogame movie up to that point besides maybe Wreck-it-Ralph. My intrigue was that is was set in Spain which is one my ancestral homes and my dads home country. 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.
I've both read and played Assassin's Creed Blackflag multiple times, so I could definitely tell you the story of that one if you just laid out the mission list basically. To answer the question at the start of the review.
Yea tbh I don't think the story of these games is that lacking, I can't really speak for any of the ones after Rogue tho as after that the games kinda went off the rails a bit
I don't think he meant the stories withen the history, I think he meant more of the whole thing between the assassins and the templers
I do remember couple of the storylines withen the old games which were fairly decent, the whole Kenway family ark that happend on the span of 3 games was really great
@@dorxly Kinda hard to tell.
@@dorxly fair enough I guess, although I kinda felt the first couple of games cleared it up pretty well. Most of the actual lore happens in the non-animus sections iirc so I feel lile people maybe don't pay too much attention during those parts because they're not as exciting. It helps a tremendous amount if you read the little logs you can find in the non-animus sections, especially during AC4
@@EdgingYoda I totally agree, because I was one of those people, I remember hardly caring for the non-animus parts, especially after the death of Desmond and the only reason I liked the parts of his non-animus adventures because his parts had actual gameplay, the usual parkor and fight snippets here and there, which actually made me excited for an assassins creed game in modern time and then they messed that up with turning it into a walking simulator
There is a wealth of story in the second AC game and Ezio Auditore’s arc. They could have made three movies out of that and it’s excellent sequels.
Elvis: “traveling back in time to be in a secret league of assassins? Cool!”
Also Elvis: free falling off a giant building and not dying? Ridiculous”
physics is still real you know
The ring finger scene really doesn't make sense in the movie either cause the main character from the first game, Altair, abolished the need to remove your finger after he took over after the events of his game. 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????
Aguilar's Assassin Robes was the only _Dope_ thing from the movie.
Man I remember as a kid around 10-11, which is 10 years ago now, (crazy on its own) but I got obsessed with parkour because of this franchise and it 100% got me in trouble more than once for climbing on buildings I absolutely should not have climbed. I'm talking my small towns Bank for one example.
awkward

@Senritsu} {Jumpsuit for me and my buddies it was mostly adults just yelling at us lol, we only ever got the cops called once and they just chewed us out for being shitheads
Even though I’m a hardcore fan of assassins creed, the fact you knew that the hidden blade is on the left hand to keep the sword hand strong despite not playing the games for a long time I’d very impressive, Ezio would be proud
It's definitely an interesting movie. Gotta say though, the drone score from Jed Kurzel, the director's brother is VERY good. I've heard in conversation, that the film is a classic example of studios taking control with Justin Kurzel not having much control of the final product, and a lot being cut out.
I actually saw this in theaters bc when I was young assassins creed was my favorite series and I thought this movie was gonna be amazing. I’ve never been so sad walking out of a theater but looking at it now, it doesn’t look that bad
Back when it was coming out I heard from my stepfather that "the guy who played magneto" was going to be the protagonist and I immediately thought of Ian McKellen jumping from rooftops
I still think it's a shame that it didn't adapt the first game or the Ezio trilogy, because Desmond isn't half-bad as a protagonist, but it was a dumb, fun movie for me
Animus concept in this movie was super cool I was anticipating for the animus scenes because in the game you usually see the modern characters laying down on the machine but here in the movie was breath of fresh air loved it.
This movie is very accurate. The past used to be 50% more green. You can remove a person's free will with a magic fushigi ball. And having weapons in a prison makes perfect sense, because how else is the hero supposed to break out from the prison in the third act?
That Cool Transition from =3 awoke a bunch of old memories from 2008 in the mind vault. Thanks Elvis
Oh wow, the security guard you pointed out towards the end of the video is the French farmer from Inglorious Basterds who has that mesmerising opening scene with Christoph Waltz. Guy carried one half of the best opening scene in movie history and is also in a shitty adaption of a mid video game series in a bit part, amazing.
Loving the Meatcanyon reference haha. Impeccably accurate Elvis sketch
i saw this movie on a first date when i was like 14 and it was one of the most awkward experiences of my life. i think i repressed both the date and the movie until this video, so, thanks elvis :')

Lol I went through a huge AC phase for years, I had all of the games that released on the 360 and was so hyped for this movie when it was coming out, I even got the DVD... I remember nothing of this movie but I remember many of the games plots/storylines vividly. This movie is like a fever dream.
I remember watching this movie and literally nothing about the movie itself
I watched it and actually loved it. It was dumb fun and only recently found out that there was gonna be a second one with a bigger budget and a better look. It was also on the verge of releasing but executives cancelled it along with a bunch of other movies.

These games have such a close connection to me since I used to watch my father play the games so much as a child and I absolutely loved the vibe of the games. One of the best things that happened so often was he would get so angry when he would miss the hey bails when he tried to jump into them from high places and would die or get hurt. Every time I could hear him go “Oh come on!!” Or “Ughhhhh” and it would always make me laugh. It’s a core memory in my mind.

Brotherhoods story was great and had a a lot of twists for me
I remember being excited for this movie 😂
Were you living under a rock when this movie came out? It was a fairly big deal at the time, people were definitely talking about it.
✨My best friend and i knew about the movie coming and were HYPED about it so we went to the premiere. When the movie ended and the lights went on, we looked at each other in silence for a while, stood up and left without saying anything. We havent talked about it ever since.✨
“Sorry about the random 40k reference 😂”
No no, as you were. Please continue
I remember around the time this released , my parents bought me a random poster for the movie. I believe that poster's been tucked away in storage ever since. Wasn't intrigued by the movie and the games haven't really pulled me in all that much, though I've played through all of them.
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. 😅
I watched it a couple weeks ago. I own it. I honestly love it.
My brother and I watched this movie together when I was younger. He was obsessed with the games and at the end of the movie he very loudly, i remember this so freaking well bc it was one of the few times we hung out, yells “ WHAT IN THE EVER FUCKING SHIT WAS THAT?!”
The modern parts from AC1 through AC3 were the reasons I was excited for the next game. It's super cool playing the ancestors and then getting bits and pieces from the modern time storyline..it all was leading up to Desmond being a master assassin..then they fucked up by killing him off -_-

Calling assassins creed mediocre and then telling us to insall raid shadow legend, yeah right.
I agree. Ac used to be so entertaining.
I remember this movie. It’s the only movie I’ve ever fell asleep to in the theaters.
The only one I've fallen asleep in theatre is John Wick 4 recently, I had binge watched the three movies before going to the theatres, that I got so tired and fell asleep and missed 1/3 of the movie
challenge accepted 2:52
Ac1: An assassin messes up, getting his order killed and has to rebuild it while escaping the templars.
AC2: A young troublemaker joins the assassins after his family is killed by templars and takes up his fathers war
Ac3: i do not remember but it lets us play a native american during the revolutionary war and that’s cool enough. + some stuff with betrayal or assassins switching sides and most importantly the pieces of eden take front stage
the stuff with desmond can be ignored for simplicity but its literally “we’re going to watch your ancestors through your memory so we can figure out where they hid the macguffin”
tbh AC 2/Bh/R could be a trilogy by themselves
it was a great movie in my opinion its an underrated masterpiece
You must like morbius
@@siddheshpillai3807 hate it with all my heart
@@SoWeNotDroning i can say the same with Assassin creed franchise
To call it a "masterpiece" is insane. Underrated? Possibly, depending on who you ask. But "masterpiece"?
The man said in his opinion, he didn't say everyone should call it one.
You just listed a bunch of political talking points for... the cause of violence? Capitalism? Really? Sigghhh, ok, I just gotta let this go.... BUT NOT WITHOUT A COMMENT!
Well poverty is a main reason for violence
@@ElitheSnowFoxAnd in a lot of countries capitalism is the main cause of poverty.
I never heard a thing about this movie until I was in Mexico on vacation, I was on a bus ride for a few hours and they had a personal screen with movies to choose from, this was near the start and I liked assassins creed so I clicked on it. It put me to sleep faster than if I had just tried to fall asleep for the bus ride.
10:04 I‘m here to tell you, that the random 40K reference is indeed much appreciated
The vision of the assassin and the random singing seems to be a reference to the bleeding effect from the games, kinda cool thing to include in a mediocre movie.
The fact that this movie is so boring because it focuses more on the story of Assassin's Creed is really a testament to how boring the story of Assassin's Creed is. Like being an assassin was always fun, but sitting around in modern times while people exposition story beats to me was not.
I rmb seeing this in the theatres with my friends back in highschool, but thats it, I dont rmb anything abt the film itself, just that we went to see it, and came out a bit confused. Same thing happened when we saw the Power Ranger n Warcraft adaptations, good times.
No joke, stuntmen deserve more money.
Actors are payed so much in comparison.
Friend was a huge assassins creed fan. Made me go see the movie in theaters. As we walked out he was just like "man they really fucked that up"
