Assassin’s Creed, The Movie: Curse Persist, Criticism of the Draft

The movie Assassin’s Creed is out today and unfortunately it will not break the curse.

If the director of Assassin’s Creed is already talk of a sequel , we would have liked more attention be paid to this first game. Without being bad, this film Assassin’s Creed is not one that will end the curse of video game adaptations in film. One finds nevertheless pity that it does not manage to make the history of the license of Ubisoft clear, whereas the film Warcraft arrived there, having however a hundred times richer to include. The powers of the Apple of Eden to the famous phrase used to Assassin’s Creed, the explanations are often vague and if you see the movie without touching any of the games, understand its issues will become much more complicated .

Fortunately, genetics and animus memory pretty well brought to not lose the audience definitely. We had been warned through many interviews before the film that the story would be much more rooted in the present than in Spain in the Inquisition and this is not the final so embarrassing than that, even if the best scenes take place in the past like this for example. Oddly, the development of the character of Marion Cotillard in his relationship with his father played by Jeremy Irons, is more interesting than the main character Michael Fassbender. Callum Lynch is finally a character a little disappointing and his past not necessarily exalting. Add to this trio Maria, the character of Ariane Labed, and beyond that, we have no affect for the rest of the characters in the film.

If the film has a big quality is that it is beautiful and it is a real visual pleasure . The fight choreography and parkour are very respectful of the video game and also cool to watch. But despite all the efforts of the main cast, which are also to be saluted, the scenario a little confused and not necessarily captivating really draws Assassin’s Creed down, making a visually pleasing but low interest film. If a sequence is really planned, we hope a plunge into the universe of Assasin’s Creed which is not limited to the visual, but when we see the difficulty of the film to explain the interest of the apple of Eden, which is in More than that the main stake of the film, one is necessarily worried about the introduction of the ancient gods and men in a film.
