one of my friends is helping produce this movie so I hope it's a hit for her sake... but yeah I suspect so too
Zap117
I was extremley suppriesed at Warcraft . It wasent horrible
ImgurrrrUser
I remember that time when Altaïr said "Greetings Osman,Alexander sends you his regards..." And I misheard like "Greetings Asthma..."...help
srsfaceI8C
what i don't get is why they are focusing on the least entertaining aspect of the games, which is the whole VR dream sequence stuff.
FourthCause
I mean the first one was a straight to DVD so maybe they'll learn from their mistakes?
LannistersSendTheirRetards
Big assassins creed fan but I doubt I'll see this. It'll be on par with that prince of Persia movie probably
IronicUsername
Knowing absolutely nothing about it, I'm inclined to agree. Much as I love games, most movies based on them are fucking terrible.
Golduneye
Im not going to see it.
wellnoshit
Ubisoft said it them selfs they know its going to bomb but made it to market their games
CorneliusCornwall
First clue: assassin's creed the movie
XaviersSnakeArm
Second clue: Assassins creed
Cicirawr
I agree, @OP.
DietCheeto
Personally I don't like the guy they cast.
AnnoyedForever
I agree. I wasnt excited when they cast Fassbender.
ThisWorldMakesMeSad
As a long time AC fan....yeah its gonna be garbage
acadianViking
The crappy animus that they have him in? The shitty soundtrack on the trailer? Idk what gave it away?
Fusionxglave
Who wants to Hold OP on this.
frosty147
I honestly lost a little respect for Michael Fassbender for agreeing to do it. They must be paying him a ton of money.
supersaxy
I completely forgot about the movie....which is not a great sign
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
It'll be in 15fps to make it more cinematic.
goodisunpopular
Yeah, the trailers not very exciting. It feels like it will be a cheap Matrix knock-off
sprbwlshuffler
As a big Assassin's Creed fan, I plan to see it; and I don't go to the movies often. They have a good cast and an apparently good story.
Neothemod
Did you get the one of the many pre order bonuses by any chance?
ObliviousLemon
And if that fails hopefully it will be like pacific rim. Awful story but with incredible fight scenes.
Dunes8
People usually don't pay much attention to the story in kaiju films anyway.
CodeWizzzard
The fact that it's just set in the AC world and not trying to directly follow one of the games is probably a good thing.
AFineDayForScience
The story looks pretty similar to the original game story (which was a good story). I'm sure they gave Fassbender some more cutaways though
Arconyte
Minus the completely different characters, setting, and plot. The animus is completely different, POE isn't mentioned... The list goes on.
AFineDayForScience
So, like if they named a character Spongederek Rectanglepants and had him live in an avocado under the sea?
Arconyte
But instead of a sea sponge, he's a sponge cake, and it's at the bottom of Sea World.
AFineDayForScience
you. i like you
Exowe
Yep, it suck.

Clothed Fassbender don't let Long Dong Fassbender make money
FutureHylian
And schnider had doomsday, but look how that turned out
Deadpoolio7
Say whatever you want about how much you liked, or didn't like, the movie but it made bank man.
RotundYoshi
Do you mean Snyder?
FutureHylian
I do. I also have nothing clever to make out of my spelling error
jessenator
That's OK, we don't owe him a correct spelling, do we? Penance for taking away our Superman...
ProphetTenebrae
AC's story was... alright but it mostly succeeds because you're the bad ass assassin.
wlfman
except in the games where you're not an assassin...lawl
SarcasticHanSolo
Right, with little to no immersion it's just not going to be the same.
ProphetTenebrae
Yeah, immersion makes a huge difference and it's what's missing from most of these adaptations.
SarcasticHanSolo
If they actually come through with the Uncharted movie, it better all be shot in third person!
ProphetTenebrae
I think the best part of the Doom film was the POV section but after a point, that's just watching some play a game.
diabLoDesignz
I never came around to watch the movie "Gamer" but i think it offers similar scenes. Will watch it tomorrow, on my watch list since release.
SarcasticHanSolo
When it comes to game movies, what do you think is better: Being 100% true to the source, or being similar enough while original.
TheBlackWindHowls
AC's story and characters were never stronger than they were in AC2 and expansions. Ships are cool and all, but it became Pirate's Creed.
ProphetTenebrae
Yeah... Except for Ezio going "I could kill you but I'm really tired..." and then being surprised when the guy comes to burn his house down.
FutureHylian
Black flag is an awful AC game... but is possibly the best pirate game ever made
ProphetTenebrae
Fantastic pirateness but if AC3 had a crippling lack of verticality, AC4 doubled down on that.
TheBlackWindHowls
Agreed. I love the naval battle/ship mechanics, but they didn't even let you have an assassin ship crew. It didn't feel like AC at all.
FutureHylian
Get those guys, make them make a pirate series. Doesnt lie about being an AC game, keeps kickass pirate shit.
TheLavabenderGuy
Rogue, be a pirate in the North Atlantic. That was fun.
yeldarb92
I don't get what all the fuss is about assassins Creed I never could get into it
MyPointExzachtly
I'm a history nerd, so running around in the Renaissance and the American Revolution was a dream come true.
IronicUsername
Granted, I never gave it much of a chance but, from what I saw of the earlier games, it looked extremely bland and repetitive.
AfroSamuraiRM
I would check out Black Flag. Non AC fans have enjoyed it. You're a damn captain and you do pirate shit. Fight legendary pirate ships too.
MediaMuerte
And rogue
AfroSamuraiRM
Maybe. Rogue hasn't been received that well from what I've heard.
IMayOrMayNotWriteSometimes
The first one was not really that great. The second one was really enjoyable though, not enjoyable enough to keep me playing the series tho
ThePsychoanalyst
they don't know either, we're supposed to suck each others dicks and be ok,but don't try tu plug the hot chocolate machine cuz then u crazy
Iamtheyeti
...what?
AnnoyedForever
MandaloreIncognito
Quite literally my reaction, too
CodeUsernameIrrelevent
Most likely, when has there ever been a good movie based off a video game?
MightyHank
Street fighter was friggin awesome. Van damme's career peaked on it.
Jacahn
I enjoyed Prince of Persia.
mantonyz
I thinking there must have been one by now, but nothing come to mind.
Jhook12
I liked halo forward unto dawn which wasn't so much a movie but a website series.. But thats probably because it only featured master chief
judgmentday206
Mortal Kombat.
LlewSipher
first one killed it. second one is okay for extreme campy humor
dividedby0
Silent hill, the first one. Probably one of my favorite movies
Dunes8
The Last Starfighter counts, right?
Fistouille
Mario Bros. is the Citizen Kane of video game movies
HighestHorse
Tomb Raider was alright.

Sorry - copy-paste the link
asanimgurianiliealot
The thing is that you COULD have a good movie, people just have to be willing to commit resources to make it happen and you can't make it 1/
asanimgurianiliealot
too similar to the games. For example a Halo movie that follows a squad of marines in a single mission of the war against the covenant 2/
asanimgurianiliealot
could be awesome (you just wouldn't want to involve any of the known characters for more than a brief cameo.) You have to cater the story 3/
asanimgurianiliealot
to both long time fans and first time viewers which is why you need both a good and a new plot to make it work. 4/4
rollercostarican
For me its that they often chose the wrong games to make movies about. They take a game with minimal story and start adding fake depth to it
asanimgurianiliealot
Exactly. Lots of games have some deep lore that you could easily make a movie out of and they never use those.
InsertUsernameJokeHere
Warcraft. Saw it in theaters; despite what critics say, it was FANTASTIC.
HighestHorse
Let's not pretend the Lothars son dying scene was cinematic gold. It had some had parts but overall it was good not fantastic.
InsertUsernameJokeHere
I really enjoyed it. I don't care that it wasn't the best cinematography ever done, I enjoyed it.
HighestHorse
I just wasnt FANTASTIC. It was alright.
AfroSamuraiRM
He says it's fantastic, it's fantastic. There is literally no reason to try to disagree with him, it's an opinion.
ATimeTravellingRobotFromTheFuture
They need to stop putting shitty rap music on the trailers. Couldn't be further from the style of the games.
ThomasTheScrakeEngine
It's funny cause the latest trailer uses a song from what sounds like a Cage-the-Elephant ripoff band
patotheduck
Benny Hill for Assassins Creed Shirley?
InnerUniverse
It's like Hollywood didn't learn from putting DMX on the House of the Dead trailers at all.
Arconyte
Like these? https://youtu.be/4">9UWxdm0U">https://youtu.be/4K39UWxdm0U https://youtu.be/6kmulGwfHrc
Xyzair
Wtf is with that choice of music.
Arconyte
AC 1 & 2 blew my mind. Revolutionary. Brotherhood and Revelations were more evolutionary, but excellent none the less. 3 was okay.
Duffman8813
Yes! Ex-fuckin-actly
LetsTalkGameDesign
Needs more Woodkid
Bananakin
Omg that trailer though. I watched it on repeat so many times. It's so good!
suchmanywatermelons
Run Boy Run, right? Made me want Dying Light immediately.
aznboiwonder
like putting skrillex and rick ross for suicide squad god was that horrible ...i like dance music but that just did not fit
acadianViking
Suicide Squad was good, the music was diverse to represent the diversity of the squad. Each with their own theme and style.
aznboiwonder
Suicide squad was good?! Are we talking about the animation. There hasn't been a decent DC movie with snyder directing
jomama64
That shitty rap music is huge red flag that the movie will suck.
jomama64
I get the game trailers used techno music to be a strong contrast to the environment, but that rap does not work.
Troldann
I don't know what you're talking about. Dubstep sold the world on Warcraft.
OberonIIIIsmite
What's so bad about rap music?
ATimeTravellingRobotFromTheFuture
It lacks melody, it's usually derogatory crap, its monotonous, repetitive noise, they "mix" in bits from good music then ruin it with noise.
OberonIIIIsmite
Not really, listen to Logic- 44 bars if you want lyricism and the good Drake songs if you want melody. Try it before you generalize.
ATimeTravellingRobotFromTheFuture
You seem to be assuming that I haven't tried it. I hear it almost all day everyday. Yeah, it's generalising but it's based on experience.
ThomasTheScrakeEngine
"lacks melody" I wonder when people are going to stop using this dumb criticism
ATimeTravellingRobotFromTheFuture
They won't. Because liking melody in music is an opinion, you fucking muppet.
ThomasTheScrakeEngine
Dismiss an entire genre of music cause it doesn't meet your autistic standards. Try broadening your horizons before spouting nonsense. Cunt.
AnnoyedForever
Right? I was hoping for a classic like Ezio's Family but it wouldn't match the main story. Either way, Kanye's song ruined it.
ImgurrrrUser
It'd kinda match the story cuz that's what assassins really are.
Wraithofspades
Replay the trailer, mute it, and play Woodkid's Iron as the background. It almost perfectly fits the cuts and editing.
TheNine
The instrumentals sounded nice and fit the feel of the trailer but the lyrics weren't right.
beginningoftheend
No? No they didn't fit at all! It was just the worst choice for an AC trailer
TheNine
Ac I a juxtaposition of future and past I think that a bassy instrumental works. The rapping was what made it not fit. Not the music
TheMouseOfMadness
I'm sure it'll have all the success of the Hitman movie. and Tomb Raider. And Super Mario Bros.
zerofox289
Which hitman movie?
Solomon13
Second one was good, first was bollocks
ReznorsApostle
Prince of Persia...yikes
RaddRadda
I remember seeing that in theaters when it came out. I... liked it. It wasn't amazing, and I dunno the games... but I liked it.
SnugglyBurrick
Woulda been better if they kept the Sand Zombies and the weird castle, imho
CatBlaster5000
I enjoyed the hitman movie.
get0ffmylawn
And Double Dragon. And Street Fighter. And Mortal Kombat. (loved all of these as a kid btw)
AMediocreSubstituteForDave
Raul Julia acted the fuck outta street fighter
AfroSamuraiRM
The new Hitman and Tomb Raider wasn't THAT bad. I actually liked the new Hitman.
OtterAvalanche
It was pretty terrible. Though enjoyable. Same can be said of Tomb Raider
AfroSamuraiRM
Well, was it terrible or enjoyable?
9IX9
Maybe terribly enjoyable? IDK, never had the urge to see it.
AfroSamuraiRM
Terribly enjoyable means you really liked it though. Which is why I was confused. Kinda still am confused...
OtterAvalanche
Though not well put together critically it was an enjoyable movie. I tend to like "bad" movies despite obvious flaws in plot, characters etc
YourWaifuIsTrash
"Junk food" is the term my GF and I use. Easy to swallow and fun to get sometimes, but not very filling, and they all taste the same.
OtterAvalanche
A very apt metaphor

Tell that to the producers of Serenity
HighestHorse
If Warcraft, which has millions of players, did so poorly domestically then I can almost guarantee Assassins Creed will.
ordnot
Nerds always disappoint
SirRobinTheNotQuiteSoBraveAsSirLancelot
Warcraft got slammed critically before release. I actually think it's the best video game movie.
Deadpoolio7
The US is an anomaly for Warcraft since it did really well almost everywhere else.
Redbrickadam
Well it did well in china where the millions of players are so...
HighestHorse

ThoughtfulSatan
It was actually a good movie. Too many people didn't understand the Lore or what was going on.
Bananakin
I really liked it. It had the nerve to be something else with big ass armour and beautiful scenery.
Sprixxen
Then that sounds like a bad movie. It should at least take 2 min to explain, especially since it was the 1st.
HighestHorse
You know just how much Marvel lore there is? Yet the Marvel movies are a success because theyre for all audiences. Cant be just for fans.
eatyourmeat
I can't wait for them to lose money. Im confused trying to keep all 25 of their heroes straight
HiMyNameIsKevinIHaveChangnesia
I wouldn't bet on a MCU movie losing money any time soon.
TonyAyoMitch
If it came out in 2010 it would have done some business. Ubisoft blew AC out with so many releases people are numb to the franchise now.
gendeates
I agree. Perhaps Ubisoft predicted tge drop in popularity and finally got the Green to make the movie, however, yrs too late.
PhilTheFluffiestDogOnTheInternet
Revelations is by far my favorite, 3 is the fucking worst and past that it kinda lost it for me
TeoriaDeus
Revelations' ending was actually very good. But I liked Black Flag even if it came after AC3
yagumbus
I still like it and I'm hyped for the movie and the new game! No? Nobody else? Okay...
bigred810
I double agree, to me it ended after the Moalem died, and no more Altair.
CatBlaster5000
Also, the movies just going to suck. That's the most important thing.
Killstealer
to be honest they took the "alternate history" jig way too far, it has the same problem "deadliest warrior" has now and undoubtedly 1/?
Killstealer
trying to stretch the story into a franchise has killed any interest people would have in the plot. it is a farce now. 2/2
thegarlicawakens
Well, I told NVIDIA that AC Syndicate was an awful game, and it was bundled with my 970. They gave me a code for Tomb Raider next.
UnintentionalMasculineMicroaggressions
if i had to guess, i'd say there are currently between 5 and 10 AC games.... i have really no idea
MexicanCatFur
Wait there are more than 4 AC games?
insertsupercoolusernamehere
They made the environment too reactive to free-running. Nothing like dipping out from 100 soldiers and climbing a fucking lamp post 3ft away

It's like the land before time.

You shut your mouth, land before time was legendary.
Thoraxe123
AC3 killed the series for me. Ubisoft got thirsty as hell
TeoriaDeus
Exactly, but Black Flag was pretty cool
MrWolfwood
Naa, there's something about visiting new places, new faces, and killing all of them.

Syphin426
Ubisoft over releasing titles? Never I love COD 36
Darksp0t
That's Activision. Most big companies over saturate the market.
iamdeathandthisismyvalley
Yeah, because there are still idiots playing the umpteenth CoD or Battlefield...
Syphin426
Yeah I know just phrased it wrong. Rockband is a great example too
dustygamedev
You're thinking of Guitar Hero, not Rockband.
AnnoyedForever
I agree. I lost interest after AC3. I played the new ones out of loyalty but it was never the same.
sillywillyfillybananapants
Sames! Those games were the shitttt though
mymanmaverick
Loved three. The addition of being able to hang people was too troll to pass up.
GoogleFucker
This is exactly what I did. I have every AC game, but I lost the love at AC3. Black Flag was good though
boobphysicist
yeah and the new ones are usualy just not great but not bad just the same thing in a different setting but unity was awful 1/2
boobphysicist
i did enjoy black flag though 2/2
SirSchmoopyOfAwesometon
I gave up on Revelations about halfway through, played the first city of AC3, quit. There hasn't been anything new or exciting in a while
Moradeth
Man the end of Revelations was awesome though... AC3 almost completely shit, the only good thing out of it was ships and that became BF.
TeoriaDeus
AC3 is completely shit to me tho, never had the guts to finish it
Moradeth
Did...you not use the ship? I barely got through any of it but that was the only good part and it made Black Flag
SirSchmoopyOfAwesometon
I just watched the final cutscene of Revelation on youtube because I didn't want to slog through the rest of the game
DrDoomRoom
I didnt much like AC3 but black flag was one of my favorites.
Sheari
Black Flag should have been the last game and 3 should have never been made. IMO it should have finished before AC3. Now its a cash cow. :/
mymanmaverick
Loved three. The addition of hanging people was too troll to pass up.
WalrusPhone
Black flag is legit one of the best games ever made
jjoz
I'd go so far to say Black Flag is a gaming masterpiece. Love that game
Arcian
The music was so fucking good, especially the main theme.
HoodsBallsOnASkillet
I love Captain Kenway's Buccaneer Bonanza!
ImAlwaysRelevantLOL
Unpopular opinion but I really enjoyed ac unity and Syndicate. I still love the franchise
cuddlepumps
I thought syndicate wasn't too bad, but unity is the only game in the series that I hate with a passion.
ImAlwaysRelevantLOL
Then you're one of the sheep
Utgart
I remember sailing in AC3 being kind of annoying. Why was black flag so good?
ChiefBearMight
Sailing in ac3 was just overall bad. They made sailing in black Flag so much better. I.e aiming cannons is way easier
boneapetite
The story dude. If you're fascinated by pirates, you'll dig it. It was just madly engaging.
bobs419
Black Flag was the only one i liked! But i think it was just because of the pirates aspect. So. Damn. Good.
ifartedwhilewatchingyourdog
Black flag was a really fun pirate game, but a really bad assassins creed game. Ubi could have made meiyers style pirates but didn't. Oh wel
Armored0Titan0
Edward was kind of a twat to be honest.
HappyJello
I only play Black Flag because it reminds me of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean game :/
TheLavabenderGuy
I never see any love for Rogue. It was so short, yet the story made up for EVERYTHING.
DrDoomRoom
Rogue was great cause you see it from the other side. Plus didnt much care for some of the assassins.
TheLavabenderGuy
It was a fun perspective flip. It brought good things from both AC3 and AC4 together AND linked to Unity. That's some feat of storytelling
thorkild91
I am playing it right now. Definitely my favorite one so far. it's sweet as hell. The armor options were pretty awesome too
