Assassin's Creed
SCORE: 70
We purchased Assassin's Creed on DVD for one of our movie nights.
There is all kinds of controversy surrounding the Assassin's Creed
movie. Like how does a seventeen and older only video game series earn
the thirteen and older only rating for a movie? I was all ready to slam
Assassin's Creed on that issue alone. Then I noticed something about
this movie - there is not all this blood and gore.
If the Assassin's Creed movie can be done without all of the blood and
gore, why can't the video games follow that fine example? Inquiring
minds want to know. The story line is captivating in this movie that
takes 115 minutes to watch. A murderer thinks he is killed. Instead he
is in a secret facility where he taps into the memories of his ancestor.
All to find the Apple of Eden. Why? Because it is believed to hold the
key to free will.
What is it with the entertainment industries attacking the Knights
Templar? They are the bad guys in Assassin's Creed. The Assassins are
supposedly the good guys. Although the good guys murder quite a few
people to keep their secrets safe. I could not find myself rooting for
the Assassins against Knights Templar. Maybe that is another reason I
have not played the Assassin's Creed video games. I don't want to play
the bad guys being redefined as good by radicals on the extreme far
left.
The issues families will have with Assassin's Creed is violence, blood,
lack of attire, bad language, and plenty of death. There are some
amazing stunts in Assassin's Creed. This movie takes parkour to a brand
new level. That is one of the best parts about Assassin's Creed. Plenty
of things in Assassin's Creed are telegraphed. I could tell just about
everything that was going to happen in this film.
I was expecting Assassin's Creed to be a lot worse than it was. Getting
memories from our ancestors is an interesting idea. I personally do not
buy into it. The bonus content in Assassin's Creed is Take the Pledge
Behind the Scenes of Assassin's Creed - Five Part Documentary, Gallery,
Conversations with Justin Kurzel, Delete Scenes Conversation with Justin
Kerzel & Christopher Tellefsen, Trailers, and more.
Assassin's Creed has some amazing scenery in it. I also noticed this
eagle was flying around. There must be some significance to it. Fanboys
of Assassin's Creed should be interested in this movie. I am not into
this video game series and I found the movie very interesting. I hope
the video games tone down the blood like the movie did. Then I might
take an interest in the video games.
