There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This film brought shame to the franchise and must put a lot of people off the incredible Ubisoft games, no story, no violence where as the games are astonishingly violent and there is non of the original characters from the games in it pretty much

I was hyped to see one of my favorite video games turned into a movie , but let me just say it's one of the most boring movies i ever watched i don't even know how i forced my self to finish it .. the actors and director did good job giving the fact that the script is very poor and it's more about trying to set up a franchise rather than providing a good movie ..

I have never loved the Assassin's Creed games despite the fact that I have always wanted to. I love the ideas. I love the settings. I even love some of the characters. But the gameplay has never gripped me. Yet I was willing to give the film a chance hoping that perhaps the film could present the ideas, settings, and characters I enjoyed in a format I would find more palatable. Sadly the film does not succeed at this task.The most immediate failure of the film is that it focuses on the part of the game that even ardent fans of the series loathe: The ponderous future segments. The appeal of Assassin's Creed has always been the segments set far in the past. In the games, players are constantly rubbing shoulders with famous historical figures, climbing beautiful world wonders, and looking on in awe as the past is brought to life before their very eyes. The segments set in the future were nothing more than a framing device. An excuse to send players back into the past and to explain away the idiosyncrasies that interactive narratives create. They were never the focus and there was a good reason later games in the series diminished the presence of these segments.Yet the film chooses to stay in the future and barely acknowledge the past. It doesn't help that almost everyone in the film is a non-character. Yet we know even less about the assassin Aguilar then we do Callum Lynch. This is an absolute waste of a rich setting: the Spanish inquisition. We never get to see the horrors of this era (Then again, this IS a PG-13 movie... based on a firmly M rated game. Go figure.) nor do we ever get a compelling villain despite there being plenty of real life villains to choose from. Instead we get a boring corporate suit as our villain.It does not help that the film is utterly dreary. While the games may have been largely serious in their tone they chose to create beautiful, vibrant, colorful worlds and actually made an attempt to add in humor, charm, and actual character. Instead the film opts for a grim, bleak aesthetic full of shaky-cam and brown hues that makes an already boring film just as bland visually as it is narratively.And it is all such a shame. There is so much they could have done with this setting. There is so much they could have done with this cast. I'll even argue that some of the action scenes aren't half bad; there was an attempt to make them appear very much like the games - you see Assassin's leaping across roof-tops and fighting with their badass hidden blades in ways that are immediately reminiscent of the games. At the very least you get the impression that if anyone cared about this project, it was the choreographers. It does not matter if you are a fan or merely a casual observer, I cannot recommend this film to anyone. It is not the worst video game movie I have seen but is arguably one of the most boring and uninteresting.

Young Callum Lynch's father kills his mother. As an adult, Cal is executed for murder, following which a secret organisation recruits/kidnaps him because he is a genetic descendant of Aguilar, a Spanish assassin from the 16th century. The Assassins' Guild has been at war with the Templars for centuries over the Eden Apple - the Templars want to use it to remove free will to stop violence, the Assassins want to stop the Templars, and Cal can be regressed to Aguilar who was the last person known to have been in possession of the Eden Apple.That is actually a halfway decent concept on which to base a story. So it's a shame that the film delivers it in a fairly muddled and inconsequential fashion. The action sequences, whether in the present-day facility where Cal finds himself, or in medieval Spain, are well staged if not always completely clear - the special effect which shows Cal fighting while attached to the Animus (the doodad which facilitates the regression) interfaced with the actual combat involving Aguilar is more distracting than effective.The colour palette, as is the fashion, is drab and desaturated, dull and shadowy. Coupled with the tendency for characters to wear the same thing - pale pastel bodysuits in present-day, hoodies in Spain - it isn't always easy to tell who is who. And, even when you can tell, so what? Aguilar does a great deal of running, jumping, and fighting with a young woman who he obviously cares about but, as we never find out who she is or what their relationship is (other than that they are both Assassins), why should we care? Cal is given little by way of background, the nature of the Eden Apple and how it works is vague - it turns out that it emits a greenish light and vapour which doesn't appear to have any immediate effect, which is puzzling given that it is supposedly a DNA map - the identities and driving forces for a lot of the characters are touched on fleetingly at best and, as the film finishes, you are left with a bucketful of unanswered questions (was Callum actually executed or not. for one).The excellent cast is given little to do which a considerably less excellent cast couldn't have done just as well. I suppose their names on the posters put bums on seats.Unless your shopping list has only one thing on it - "Chase/combat action" - you are better off watching someone play through the game. As a film, this is a deeply unsatisfying experience.And don't bother with the 3D.
