Assassin's Creed should have never been made. Or should have never given to Michael Fassbender as it was Fassbender that formed the team that included director Justin Kurzel.
This movie made no sense at all from beginning to end. While the quality of movie making was there, everything else was not.
The aesthetics all looked cool but when it came to what counted. there was nothing there. The fight choreography was bad, the characters were shallow, the story incoherent.
A lot of details were not taken care of; but just to make the movie look cool, they were put into it. Like how Anima was attached to Fassbender's character, which allowed him to move exactly like his ancestor did when he went back to the past. But how would he roll on the floor if that huge thing was attached to his waist. The editing always cut off just before he rolled.
Also did he really need to put on those bladed gloves before entering the past? Whenever he picked up another weapon it never posed a problem if he did not have it on him. And how did he or his ancestor survive or land from a rooftop fall that high? It's not as if they could fly in the past.
Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons and Brendan Gleeson were all just going through the motions. None of them made any impact on the movie.
And at the end, it was just weird as Irons said to Cotillard that she had always been a scientist first, and yet that statement did not seem to carry through the ending.
This was a complete waste of time. The only positive thing I could say was that the tone was the only right decision the director made.
