Having ambition is all it takes to make a videogame adaptation work That's why most videogame adaptations in the past failed, because the studio hired people that didn't understand videogames or filmmaking That's why recent adaptations like "Sonic The Hedgehog", "Dungeons and Dragons", "The Last of Us" and "Arcane" worked, because the people behind it understood the games and the media

Interviews I've read leading up to the movie's release gave the impression that Justin Kurzel and Michael Fassbender wanted to make two different films. Kurzel wanted to make a film that dealt with the dangers of fanaticism, hence why the Assassins aren't portrayed as too heroic and the Templars, specifically Sophia, aren't too villainous. Fassbender on the other hand wanted to make a film that asked if it's our DNA and genetics that determined who we are or if it is our choices. Not bad ideas,they could even be in an Assassin's Creed game, but it felt like they didn't want to do Assassin's Creed. Maybe they should've instead done an original film instead of using an existing IP. Awesome score though, the only thing that felt Assassin's Creed about it.

Should've made it into a show, instead of a movie.

Having an original story that is technically a side story to the games isn't a bad idea, the AC universe is big enough for that kind of story. You just need good writers and less studio interference. What would have been a more interesting story is the the main character willing and eager to help Abstergo because of their lies. Not about bringing piece and order, something more simple, just archeology and history, trying to find a lost artifact. Then, through reliving history and stumbling upon weird happenstance would our hero find out Abstergo is the baddies. Action in the past, mystery thriller in the present.

That’s the thing this seemed the obvious story - I’m no gamer but I was like eleven when this came out and I have some level of nostalgia for the film after seeing some ads and promos for it on subways etc. from what h could gather it seemed pretty decent and I thought the slander was unnecessary. That was until I actually saw it and its entire premise isn’t this which I expected and it’s just SILLY.

I always remember wishing that they had just trusted the audience to make the whole film and marketing look like a period fantasy piece. And then like 95% towards the end, wake up in the real world as a twist, almost like Steve Roger's running out into modern day. My understanding was the choice to go more heavy on modern scenes was it seemed less risky. But appeal to the audience the same way they appealed to the original players. I saw stories that when the Winter Soldier twist is revealed, people legit gasped, because the comic readers made such a small percent of the overall audience. AC fell into the common pitfall of "let's make a video game movie" instead of "let's make a movie based or inspired by this property that happens to be a game"

Hmm...I liked it. Seemed to have its own thing going on. The protagonist was a man who gave up on the world and took a deal to avoid death. So unlike Desmond, he is less interested in the world's problems this he does what he thinks he wants. But yes, the movie could've been better. They really did make it a long prologue which I enjoyed.

that's just your feeling, your opinion. it's not fact.

This is honestly one of my favorite movies, and one of the ones I honestly most want to see a sequel for (even though I know it isn't going to happen) yes there a lot of modern stuff but honestly I enjoy it, the movie is largely about Cal's introduction to the world of the Assassins and Templars, and this in my opinion is done well. is it perfect? no but I think it was exactly what it was meant to be, the beginning of the story. Why does he go along with helping them with the animus? Well not only is he literally forced to the first two times, but the entire movie he is being told by both sides that they are the good guys, and that they have the real good intentions. Its understandable too for Cal to be more easily swayed by the Templars as he naturally distrusts the Assassins who he believes murdered his mother. I disagree that "They killed the main villain." as I think (besides the Templars in general being the villains) its the Doctors daughter who (Had this received further movies) been the one to become the true main villain of the series, which we see set up in the end of the movie. And to the point that the movie has no climax, you literally show it off in the video, it is the termination of the compound, Cal truly becoming an Assassin and understanding and then the subsequent escape, with the falling action being the murder of the Doctor and recovery of the apple. And before someone points out and asks why Cal is suddenly okay with the Assassins, there are two key scenes that plant seeds with a third that I think makes it all finally click together if it hadn't already. First we have the scene with his father, explaining that like him his mother had blood that was not their own, indicating that his mother was also a descendant of Agular and that the father was a descendant of some other Assassin. At the end of this scene we see Cal misunderstanding the meaning, or just generally hurt by a life without his mother, and in anger wants to get revenge by ending the creed, as he still believes his mother to have been murdered, but the seed of the truth has been planted. The second key scene is after Cal willingly goes into the animus and sees Aguilars love sacrifice herself for the mission, in roughly the same way that his mother was killed, planting the second seed. The Third scene is when he sees his mother dressed as an assassin. If it hadn't already, this was the final straw that put everything into perspective, how his mother was one of the creed and knowing what the Templars were trying to do, sacrificed herself to try and prevent them from finding the apple. This resolves Cals main issues with the Assassins and helps right him on which side really is the bad or at least incorrect side and which is the good guys. In my opinnion I also prefer the fact that not only is it an AC story never told but that it had so much set in the modern era. I think the reason that it works for the games for so much of it to be focused on the time period, is because you are spending all of your time enjoying this 30+hr story immersing yourself in the world. I think had they try to go for such an approach, it could have caused issues in future movies trying to explain how this was all just the past, and also would have had trouble not just being another "Egyptian/Middle ages/Peroiod" based fantasy movie. Not only does setting up everything in the modern era provide you more avenues to go down in the future (like exploring the lives of some of Cals other ancestors), but it also allows you to spend more time in those periods, having already laid out the foundation of what all is going on, with things then melding back into the modern day to continue a forward moving story rather than just a bunch of Assassins creed themed period based fantasy movies. I'm also fine with it being a story never before told, because not only does it bring something new for fans of the games (which still many seemed to have enjoyed the story even though it wasn't "game cannon") but going back to that flexibility, it allows you in the future to bring in these known characters and stories and do them justice and work them into the overall story, rather than just telling a cool story. TL:DR Many people seem to have just missed the explanations for many things, the character arc of Cal is decently well written, its a good movie though not perfect, original story and not retold is preferred because otherwise the movie/movies would have been single installment period piece fantasy movies with at best a seemingly diluted overarching plot like the games, and being mainly set in the modern era is fine because it was meant to be a foundational movie setting everything up for future installments.

I also like the movie, it was a good introductory movie for the franchise. Shame, there's no news about the sequel. I think the strange animus equipment was a good setup knowing that (in the next movies) it will be portable like we see in the ac games. The bleeding effect was a great portrayal because movie goers will not understand how cal know how to do those moves and being able to do the leap of faith and other assassin's moves. Overall, not a perfect movie (I don't even know how someone can define "perfect" objectively) but a great introductory movie to the franchise

worded it perfectly

If they had a 2-3 opening explaining the assassin and Templar fight thorought the history like just a quick animation showing how it was founded by bayek and aya and why it was founded to what they were doing and quick summary of how everything change in the 2000s when the Dubai HQ got attacked, it would fix a lot of the issues and left room for them to really expand on why they are imprisoned and what the Templars are capable of. I know the movie came out before origins but only by a year or 2, I reckon it would’ve generated so much hype for origins and would work in ubisofts favour.

The strange thing is that Fassbender, Cotillard and Kurzel are all immensely talented and created one of my favourite films of 2015, aka "MacBeth".

It would have been so easy to make an Assassin's Creed movie if they had only left out all the present day/future stuff and just retained the period-set story.

Such a shame because Inquisition Spain id a really cool setting. Would love to see a game in that setting.

I really enjoyed this film, I have watched it numerous times. I definitely don't agree that it was a failure.

They could just have used the storyline of subject 16 inside the animus which is not tackled on the game. If only they have linked the movie as a branch of the Creed it could work and showing a CGI version of old Altair or Ezio overseeing the recovering of the Apple of Eden could work and bring nostalgia to the AC fans.

Am I going to watch it just because Jeremy Irons plays the antagonist wearing cool suits? Yes.

It could've been a great twist by making the Jeremy Irons character to be revealed as a descendent of some Assassin, which would high up the stakes by having a Templar with a Assassin's skills, giving the movie a showdown between Callum and him in the climax of the movie.

They hired anyone to do anything Just like the other adaptations that came before

In most of the ac games, the modern day protagonist is often a henchman to abstergo

Imo… what made the story’s work in the games was that it was a pretty personal story for the ancestors… everytime you play you basically learn everything about them .. I felt like I hardly knew anything about Agular by the time the movie was over … I dunno

All I wanted was a movie in the 1500's Spain, Inquisition and all! Yet they where only in the past for a few action scenes.

I think the reason was a failure is because it focuses on the wrong story. This is clearly following the same story as Desmond (modern times) and Ezio (Renaissance Italy) and in the game you spend 95% of your time in the actual interesting story of Ezio growing up literally from death to birth and not with Desmond. The real magic of those games is an interesting historical setting and an actual interesting story of a man who loses his whole family and going on a journey to become one of the most legendary assassins ever

I don't remember Desmond freeing the Assassins from imprisonment, revive the Brotherhood in doing so, and leading a raid to decapitate the Templar Leadership. Callum did ALL of that.

No, i actually like that concept to create new char and story instead make a life action one of the great title. The assassins part it self is good, the fighting , parkour , items the way the escapes and most important the assassins still priority "The Creed" over anything includes their personal will, i really amazed that scenes where Aguilar and her lover bound to creed , and i think it recreate in origins relationship between bayek & amunnet ❤

Assassin’s Creed has so much content and story that it really needs it own show, not a two-hour movie. They should also use the content from the games, one season per character. You’d have Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward, Arno, Shay, and Jacob + Evie all as separate seasons. Even throw in Bayek maybe as the first season to really set things up. There’s plenty of money to be made if they don’t rush it and do it well. The success of The Last of Us really showed that video game adaptations can go well.

Okay, does anyone knows what happened to the netflix series that was announced? It's been years already

I was about to kiss the girl of my dreams and then saw the notification and rushed to the channel. No regrets.

As a fan of all the Assassins Creed games up to 3, I actually loved this movie. It was an awesome side story, and cool to see the Assassins score a legit MAJOR victory over the Templars, in the Modern Day... despite being on the brink of extinction. The ending wasn't anti-climactic at all. Lynch literally assassinated the head of the Modern Day Templars. Rikkin was introduced in the first game, as their leader.

If they used the books as the source material and made it a show it would be a success for sure

They missed the most iconic line: ooo ees desmon ?

Yup, the only known character I saw that might be picked up from the game fanchise was a sketch of Connor Kenwey's on a notice board in Abtergo lab in this movie.

The modern day story used to be the whole reason we were reliving memories, I miss those days.

Took my wife to see this movie and she had never played a game and barely understood the background for the games. After seeing the movie, she still had no clue what was going on. There is exposition dumps and then there are WORTHWHILE exposition dumps! As someone who had played nearly every game up until that point, even I was confused as to what the heck was going on. And why? Just make an adaptation of either the first one or the Ezio games and be done with it! At least if that one failed, we could say it was an issue with the source material. In this movie's case, I can't even make that argument cause it was such a stupid attempt at an adaptation!

I still loved every moment in the past. The present day stuff, not so much.

If they say "it's a different story then the games" then you know it's going to fail heavily. And Hollywood still continues to make the same mistakes over and over again proves they have no interest in video game adaptation, they just wants to cash in..

For an great AC movie watch Assassin's Creed Lineage. It was the tie-in to AC II with the actual actors from the game and it's actually excellent at capturing everything from the game.

I think a big mistake mightve been touching on the modern day character too much instead of the Assassin they are livng in through the animus. from what i remeber, the first game doesnt tell you much about Desmond but instead interweives his story with the larger Altiar and Ezio portions and you slowly get to know him through 5 games. i think they shouldve done a similar thing for the movie cuase we arent playing/watching for this guy from 2011 we are interested because of the historical aspects and the intesting looking assassins which we are then taken on this larger much crazier journey told in small portions. I also dont remeber the movie featuring any of the gods or more fictional advanced society aspects that the games have which made it just boring.

I first played Assassin's creed game just because there was double Ass in game's name and I thought it would be an interesting game to play, anyways it was enjoyable

Wow I legit just decided to take a proper watch of the movie after getting back into AC4 Black Flag

This movie would have been the best video game adapted movie ever, had they stayed in the past 80% of the movie and not had the silly present day flashbacks during combat scenarios. Once Cal went into the Animus, the movie should have been all about the Spanish Inquisition up until the final 15 minutes of it, instead of the boring sections of him in the Abstergo detention center with all the other would be assassin ancestors. In order to do AC right in live action, it has to be a series instead of a film, and have it sort of be like the old show Quantum Leap, where each season the protagonist enters the Animus memories of a new Assassin and time period and lives out their lives and quest to fight the Order of Ancient/Templar order. To the audience we would see the main actor, but when they do reflections in the mirror or show the point of view from other characters perspective then it should be the real assassins face we see. With a series, that would allow not only deep character development of the main protagonist, time period and backstory on why the Assassins are fighting the order. It would also allow them to do some modern day sequences without it preoccupying the entire movie like we saw in this film.

Tbh tho, it could've worked if only more than what we know of aguilar was shown in the movie. Things like whats his reason for hunting the templars, and who are his targets? How he stumbled upon the piece of eden? How he became an assassin?. Things like these werent answered in the movies. If it was answered, then the audience's response would be different

The movie's confirmed to be canon to the games, so it wouldn't make sense for the filmakers to tell any of the games' story yet again.

The problem was they focosed more on the modern day story than the past ! I whant it to see assassins in hood assassinating with hidden blade and free running on rooftops and less of the present story with guns, the animus is NOT like THAT! They should of made the past life of aguilar more and some cutscene about cal getting in or out of the animus and boom! It would be better!

I didn't mind the fact that they made a new story within the Assassin's Creed universe. After all, if they simply made a movie adaptation of a game, everybody would be complaining about the liberties they took, like "They forgot this part" or "They changed this part." The problem was that they tried to make a full Assassin's Creed game, which ranges from 8 hours to 12 hours, averaging 10 hours, of gameplay time, and condense it down to 2 hours. To make matters to worse, to make it consumable for people who watch movies but don't play games, they had to explain everything about the universe, like Abstergo, the Animus, the Assassins, the Templars and the Apple of Eden. Again, in a game, this is explained over the 8-12 hours of gameplay, yet the movie had to shove it into a 2 hour movie, while still having a unique plot.

After having Ezio... Well you can't top with anything. Just finished Revelation. I'm just in love with the story. The movie what the hell was that.

surprisingly all movies that are good to great stay very close to the source material ( silent hill 1, mario 2023, sonic, last of us, mortal kombat 2021)

It still makes absolutely no sense to me that they made the animus a different machine that required WAY more work (and I’m sure money) to shoot than just the table they had in the games

I mean they really should have all the people that make any major decisions on the movie play the games. At least all of them up to black flag or even rogue. Honestly they could literally copy revelations or black flag with some good cinematic scenes and I would love it. I would love to watch the game as a movie and I think that's what a lot of people desire. They would love to see these actors actually playing the parts that we all played in the games like a ship scene where their taking down a fort and there is also two ships they have they take down and their ducking and dodging morter shots the entire time couldn't we all relate to that and enjoy watching that on our TV screens as a movie??

They should’ve just done a more condensed version of the first game with Desmond and made a set of movies based off of 1 2 brotherhood revelations and 3 maybe with different titles for the numbered entries

I liked the movie, thought it was decent. Also want to see Callum Lynch again in the future since he is also the descendant of Arno. I mean the movie is canon. And it doesn’t have to be another movie, could be a cameo or a main character to a new AC game. Despite all that, what I want to see is Elijah Miles continuing the legacy of the greatest lineage of assassins. I mean, boy is already a sage and iirc helped kill Juno, when will we see the boy.

I had a great respect for Fassbemder before this was made and i loved the 1st game so iwas quite excited....and then....this film came out, and we all, i think, were disappointed in his choice of role and the fact that he produced as well, is almost sad.

Often i find myself thinking “man i wish there was an Assassin’s Creed Movie” and then i remember “oh yea there technically is😒”

4:42 the moment this part shows up on this video, the scene played at the same time lol. Had to go over here cuz I just don't feel the thrill watching it like it was in the game...

Assassin's creed would suit more into a TV show than a movie. We need a new Assassin's creed show!

We need a sequel to this movie.

this shit got me through alot and kept my childhood alive

I saw this in theaters when it came out and forgot about it the second i walked out of the theater

I think they focus on making a franchise instead a great movie

this game should have been a streaming series... looking at you HBO MAX

Ok they could make a second movie but it would be close to how hitman or John wick is. The only way I see to clearly start the movie would be to show the apple of Eden somewhere but safe or forgotten, and then it's just a long game of cat & mouse/ keep away

Another great video! Although it wasn't 100% true to the game, It was closer then the uncharted one

00:27 huh? Assassin's Creed 1 was released in 2007...

Movie was fun for me. The only problem was that they didn't explain some terms to people who didn't play AC, so they were like "Wtf is going on?"

One of the problems with this movie was that it tried to create a movie "for everyone" rather than for the fan base that was already there. And that seems to happen a lot with adaptions. So the movie didn't include a lot of the elements players of the video game franchise would expect and changed some elements in a simplified or watered down version. Also, still salty about their version of the animus, I get it's more dynamic the way they did it, but the animus being a fancy table/bed/chair worked in the game because so much of the action was in the past. Anyway, if they had instead written the movie closer to the source material, even with a new character and period setting, they could have made a fantastic movie that would have satisfied the fan base as well as attract people who are generally into action, sci-fi, and historical fantasy type films. I left the movie confused because the present day plot was confusing.

Aguilar has one of the best looking designs tho

I remember watching this on my computer in school during an IT lesson when it first came out, i was a massive fan of the old Assassin's Creed games at the time so i thought to myself "hell yh this is gonna be awesome" but after watching it i was left disappointed and confused. what a let down! 1 thing i remember doing my head in was the animus in this film is a joke

Haven't seen it, but I saw their version of the Animus. That's my reason.

Its one variation the Templars were experimenting with. Believe it or not its the big daddy for their Animus VR system. The Animus VR gear is basically just a miniaturized version of it.

Great movie, still waiting for the second one

Instead of another movie they should continue cal story creating a live action series like The Last Of Us That would at least make the story more complete as they can cover all the aspect of Assassin creed and bring more character development to Cal and the Assassin

Instead of making a full feature live adaptation film they should have relied on making Cg film like they do in the trailers that would have at least be cool❤

I will never understand the hate that Terminator Dark Fate gets. I loved it lol

Dramatic setting as in good idea : ), but should have went with the show idea of Netflix adaptions - such as One Piece 👒 🍗

This is a surprise... Took me a while to figure it out, but I liked this movie.

It's a shame. When in costume, Fassbender even properly looked like an Assassin in build and sillouette, and his acting was actually solid. This could have been a great movie. Instead, it pushed me away from the franchise.

If this movie was shown in an alternate universe where the video game franchise did not exist, it would be hailed as a masterpiece.

The stuff it in the past was just epic. The Spanish inquisition was next level. All the stuff in the present day should of been cut out and just focus on stuff set at that time.

It's so stupid but I also just couldn't get around the way they did the Animus. Why do it as a weird 3D gear system? It just seemed so goofy.

What do you mean by ""helping them?"" He was taken from death row and forced to take part in a facility he had no idea existed until that point

That leap of faith tho

I would want a Anime on the franchise, it would be amazing

IMO the movie has really cool visuals and actions scenes, and the essence of the franchise is there... but many silly concepts are handled with such level of seriousness that disconnects anyone who is watching from what is actually happening. For example: The whole leap of faith mechanic that overcharges and almost breaks the animus... IT'S A F-ING JUMP. Yeah, a fancy and skilful jump, but in the AC games it's just treated as another move, sometimes a bit of a ritual... but not like a superpower, not something with such emanating energy that can break a simulation... With some minor adjustments I think it could've been a fantastic movie.

They should have let Nolan north cameo as Desmond or ezio

On a long enough time line... It should take about 30 years

If they revisit this in a TV series it would be a much different animal. Too many writers, too many non-creatives and not enough clarity.

People want to feel the movie the character make people feel they can be like him

Agreed

I didn't even know this movie existed

Why not an anthology-limited series TV show? where they show a story fully told from the perspective of the Abstertgo experiment subjects while reliving their ancestors' re-living the memories inside the Animus without them noticing they are in a lab, and maybe another one that shows how the Animus was built and patented by Abstergo. Because honestly Assasin's Creed has a huge universe divided into 2 timelines past & present, and it's too much material for a single film.

Why didn’t they kill the order at the end of the movie! They had them surrounded I don’t get it!

I remember going to this movie in theatres only because my brother was a fan (I wasn't yet). The movie was so boring that paint drying on a wall was more entertaining. I still joke about the wasted ticket money to this day 😂😂😂

Over 13 minutes in the movie and I'm already getting bored. The game trailers were much more more engaging.

Why can’t movies just be movies. Why must it be a franchise. The focus on trying to prepare for a squeal ruins movies. Why don’t studio’s learn.

Abstergo should have made Dragon Radar
