Disappointed fans
The adaptation of a video game license as popular as Assassin’s Creed in cinema it was an ambitious undertaking. Expectations were high, especially with big-name actors and a director like Justin Kurzel at the helm, known for his lavish work on the film. Macbeth.
The film makes an effort to stay true to the aesthetics and themes of the game series, particularly through the parkour sequences and choreographed fights. However, the film’s plot took some liberties with the source material (it is an original story), which was a source of frustration for many fans.
While some viewers appreciated the visual fidelity and the actors’ performances, particularly that of Michael Fassbender, others criticized the confusing plot and character development. The complexity of the plot, combined with a sometimes confusing narrative, especially due to the incessant back and forth between past and present, left many viewers on the sidelines.
These negative reviews, combined with a disappointing box office ($240 million for a $125 million budget), buried the possibility of a second film.
