Movies News Talk
This is a super hard topic. It has a ton of things wrong. But fans are just mad, especially because this is a video game adaptation! You might be surprised, but it's been getting worse as time goes on!
Assassin's Creed - the game - it's pretty awesome, so it has these cool characters, historical settings, and those amazing action sequences - but that’s all they forgot to include! What the Assassin Creed movie did is give us a real-world storyline. It’s like what if someone gets into this futuristic, super secret Assassin organization, right? So, it had a very different feel - nothing like the games!
We have a bunch of really famous actors, like Michael Fassbender Assassin's Creed, and Marion Cotillard - so it should be epic. And it should've been really exciting - after all, the whole Assassins vs. Templars theme! But this was totally a let down. They really did not get the story right. Those "good versus evil" stories that most of us are so used to seeing in games and movies! There were even cool historical times. But the action and story - they both went wrong! It should have been more fun - more like what you'd see in a sci-fi drama movie.
If they had a chance to do it all over again, they need to stop trying so hard to be "realistic". Those games have that awesome, crazy side to them. Maybe if they embraced the funny stuff - the cool powers, the out-of-this-world action! - that's how it could actually have a chance to be a good video game movie. This one is on the list of worst video game movies, and it shows how much those movies can flop. You can really learn from this, as a movie fan - we need better video game adaptations! Maybe someday, there'll be a good video game movie - that is a dream. It'll be the day those films come back in the spotlight. Hopefully, a future Assassin's Creed movie won't end up the same as this one.
