This is a movie that is very faithful to the original, not its plot, of course, but its central idea and expression, which surprises, satisfies, and suffocates us diehard fans of Assassin's Creed games, while at the same time some Disappointed.
Because of this, it also reveals the shortcoming of this work - understanding this work is too difficult for people who have not touched the original work.
On Weibo, even Ubisoft officials have confused its protagonist, which I pointed out. It can be seen how grand the AC world view is, not to mention that many plots and items are not accessible to people in reality, especially It's the Am Chrysanthemum Machine, the Bleeding Effect, and the Golden Apple, which I knew while watching it would leave too many doubts for the non-original party.
Secondly, the ancient part of this film is really short, and the proportion of repeated modern dramas is too large. This arrangement makes people feel confused. If the ancient dramas can be extended, it may be much better. After all, the most touching parts of AC in all dynasties, except for the death of the dead and cute, are all in the ancient drama part, and with such a little plot, people can't understand it without reading all the games, novels, and comics.
Although as an AC fan, I enjoyed watching it very much, but I was still confused by this montage-style plot. I didn't get my thoughts straight until I thought about it for a while, let alone people who didn't touch the original work.
In short, the shortcomings of this movie are messy and messy. If this can be corrected, Ubisoft's movies will develop very well.
