What to Know

Critics Consensus

Assassin's Creed is arguably better made (and certainly better cast) than most video game adaptations; unfortunately, the CGI-fueled end result still is still a joylessly overplotted slog.

Elena Lazic Little White Lies Although this story of multiple timelines provides some interesting moments, the cryptic, excessive, often extremely muffled dialogue makes the film excruciatingly hard to follow. Rated: 2/5 Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Valerie Complex Black Girl Nerds I have never seen a group of A-list actors look and act so disinterested. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 19, 2017 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times One is left wracking brains as to why these talented people wasted so much time. It's not even the best videogame adaptation released in the past 12 months. Come back, Angry Birds. All is forgiven. Rated: 2/5 Jan 10, 2017 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews The worst way to adapt a video game Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies I had fun with “Assassin’s Creed” particularly with its wildly unique (and admittedly wacky) story. It also doesn’t hurt to have this level of acting talent in front of the camera. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Kurzel's brooding, internalized work often appears through a literal or figurative haze, which doesn't help matters.

Jade Coyote good acting good action weak writing and story telling Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/22 Full Review Carlos T Filme: ASSASSIN’S CREED @assassins_creed_movie Assistido: 13-11-24 Elenco: @fassbenderthebest @marioncotillard @ariane_labed @hovikkeuchkerianofficial1 Modelo: #ficção #ação #artemarcial #gamer #aventura Duração: 1H 55M Ano: 2016 Minha opinião: Este filme é relacionado a um jogo X Box em 2007, se tornando um sucesso de vendas e onde teve depois outros jogos 2, 3, 4,..... e se tornando uma febre. E em 2016 lançam este filme onde teria continuação, porem com a baixa bilheteria e arrecadação e a venda da Fox a continuação foi abortada. Realmente o filme tenta da certo, um bom investimento. A estória conta a richa entre Templarios e os Assassinos. Onde os templários trabalhavam para a igreja e os Assassinos são agentes para progeter a “maçã” do Éden. Onde a igreja esta atrás para obter o poder nele contido e os Assassinos para proteger a humanidade e dos templários, mas esta guerra vem de gerações em gerações. E vários dos descendentes dos assassin’s estão presos e m instalação dos descendentes dos templários. E é onde Callum (Fassbender) também esta, e usado em uma máquina que faz o regresso de gerações passadas para descobrir onde esta escondido a maçã do Éden. E nisso temos a Dra. Sophia (Cotillard) que é filha Alan (Irons). E vemos a batalha de Callum com o seu passado com o trauma de ter visto seu pai matar sua mãe. Mas as coisas não é como ele imagina. Era para salvar o segredo de onde esta a maçã. O filme tem uma boa produção e até a estória, mas algo não colou. Roteiro e enredo em algum lugar não colou Vale apena assistir? Sim para os fãs do jogo. Nota: 6 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Igor T Acredito que seja um dos filmes relacionados a Games mais fiéis que já vi, o presente e o passado são bem representados. A história de Aguilar, tenho em mente que daria um excelente jogo, tal como a trilogia de Ezio, lembrando um pouco o AC Revelations e o presente não chega a ser marcante como o de Desmond mas com certeza é bem feito. Um ótimo filme para quem curte a franquia Assassin's Creed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Audience Member Not having played the game ,I actually didnt know what to expect. I still haven't played the game ,but have watched this film twice and enjoyed it. Of course, it's a little slow in the plot and to get going, but the fighting scenes and the Parkour is pretty damn good imo. Having seeen Michael Fastbender in Promethus and Covernent I thought he did an excellent job. This films suited his style of acting imo. I did find the film a little dark. I watched it as it's supposed to be seen on the big screen not a tv. My set up at home is 120" screen which made it very cinematic for me. Because I haven't played the games (yet) I didn't really know what to expect if I'm honest. The games are now on my radar and I will be seeing how they compare to the film. If you are a fan of the games and don't like the film, then I guess it doesn't really fit with the games, but if you watch this as a stand alone film as I did then it's ok. Not the best, but I certainly seen far far worse films than this one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍀 5.8/10 Should probably rewatch because I missed a little bit of the plot playing dress to impress. Pretty cool fights and set pieces which make for a fun enough time but if you look past that the plot is very boring and it never fully engaged me into caring about any of the characters or story, but its a fun time If you’re looking for a movie that will provide on that front. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Nuray S A part Marion Cotillard qui ne devrait jouer que des rôles de robot humanoïde, tous les acteurs étaient formidables. La musique parfaite et les décors à couper le souffle. Pas besoin de revenir sur l'histoire, le jeu vidéo est un grand succès. Encore un film descendu par la critique mais adoré par le public.
