Assassin’s Creed is an American film about a criminal who, after being executed, is brought back to life and used to tap into the memories of his ancestor from the 15th Century, he discovers the history of the secret Assassins society.
The most important thing to know before reading this review is that I’ve never played any of the Assassin’s Creed games, nor have I ever felt any desire to. That said, there are all sorts of video game movies that have entertained me even when I’ve never been invested in the world before.
Assassin’s Creed isn’t one of those movies, because it’s an utter mess. Committing one of the worst sins an action blockbuster can do, it’s simply tedious from start to finish, consistently failing to grab my attention at any moment, and never even trying to do something original or exciting to save the desperately falling wreckage from ending in a fiery ball of disappointment.
