The adaptation of the game and the big coffee on the street can't save the bad script

The most recent screen dominators have changed from a song and dance film to a game-adapted movie. One of them is "Resident Evil 6", the final episode of the series with the "feelings" card, and the other is the Ubisoft game adaptation blockbuster "Assassin's Creed" led by a celebrity. However, the two have surrendered completely different box office results in China.

The reason for such a huge contrast does not explain how good "Resident Evil 6" is, but it certainly shows how bad "Assassin's Creed" is.

"Assassin's Creed" is almost full of scum. The story in the film is clearly divided into two parts, ancient drama and modern drama. The ancient drama is the main selling point of the movie, and it is all action dramas that start to play if they don't agree with each other. Those parkour-like action scenes often appear in the dark scenes. As time goes by, the number of times is too boring. Even the "Leap of Faith" that retains the essence of the game did not make people feel as shocked.

In terms of action alone, "Assassin's Creed" and the last game adaptation film from Ubisoft, "Prince of Persia", are also a lot less interesting.

The modern dramas in the movie are both civil and military, but on the whole they are weak. Did not produce many chemical reactions to save this extremely weak script.

It may be that the creators feel that there are enough game players, and their movies do not need to explain the background of the story, and make some dramatic treatments on this basis, so the conflict between Catholicism and Islam, the backing of the Templars and the Assassins Disputes and disputes were taken in one stroke.

Not to mention the special status of 1492 and Andalusia in world history. That marked the end of the 800-year influence of Islam on the Iberian Peninsula, after which the unified Spain began its colonial expansion across the globe. Also in 1492, Queen Isabella of Spain funded Columbus to start a great voyage.

Fortunately, Columbus also appeared in the film later, but due to the scum of the script, even if there is the Spanish historic site Seville Cathedral where Columbus’s tomb is stored, I believe that many viewers did not realize the one they saw before after watching the movie. How sacred is the man who took the Apple of Eden.

In this way, non-game players watch "Assassin's Creed", probably feeling inexplicable throughout the whole process, and it is not clear what a lot of people inside are trying to do. Oh, it’s for the Apple of Eden, but its importance is only expressed through the protagonist’s mouth. The movie does not show any powerful functions at all, which is equivalent to weakening the appeal of the drama, and it is difficult to make the audience nervous. Hope that the assassins quickly stop the big conspiracy. As for the ending, you just want to shout something.

The "Assassin's Creed" hit the street, it seems to prove once again that the game adaptation of the movie is simply a sinkhole.

The audiences of games and movies are quite different. In action-adventure games like "Assassin's Creed", players mainly experience the thrill of completing the assassination mission, and the story is relatively secondary. The movie is not the case. The audience is mainly watching the story. If the plot does not firmly attract them, it is basically a failure ending.

In addition, such a movie with mostly dark scenes has to be made into 3D, and watching the movie is simply a self-abuse of spending money to find crime. Fassbender, the male number one of this movie, is still a producer. He chose such a project, and I don't know if it will turn a lot of fans into black.

By the way, Fasha who lives in prison, and him who often shouts of hunger, reminds me of his other movie "Hunger". That's really much better than Assassin's Creed.
