Assassin's Creed Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Dave31. März 2025The movie felt rushed. The characters could have been developed more, making each of the wins or losses felt by the viewer. It was over all good and whats killing me is they had everything they needed to make this great. Worth a watch and the occassional rewatch but fall short of greatness.
- Haider Iqbal8. April 2026Love this movie watched it like 10 times..
- Shaydeknight4. April 2026Assassin's Creed isn't terrible, but it leans heavily on the idea that being grim equals depth. It opens with portents, whispers about destiny, and there's a lot of meaningful staring, as though everyone is on the verge of saying something remarkably profound. Nobody ever does. A lot of great actors in the film, but cast members seem like they're trying very hard to sell material that takes itself WAY too seriously. Michael Fassbender is immensely talented and brings his usual intensity. Unfortunately, we've seen this sort of problem in movies before, when prestige actors get dropped into gritty action roles. Curiously, his wife doing Tomb Raider is one such example. He's simultaneously totally overqualified for the role yet oddly unconvincing when things turn physical. He's not in bad shape at all, but physical scenes focused on him are oddly graceless. Like when he's doing kata in a cell while supposedly levelling up: it's difficult to take seriously, it's close to being meme-adjacent. It's almost absurd. Think of a boxing match where Mike Tyson gets flattened by Jesse Eisenberg. Zero credibility. Fans of the early games will still find things to enjoy. The leaps of faith, the rooftop chases, the slow motion drops, the sense of vertical movement, it's all present. When the film relaxes and just shows assassins sprinting across tiled roofs, vaulting beams, and disappearing into crowds, it briefly captures the thrill that made the first titles feel fresh. Those moments are genuinely nifty. You can see game mechanics translated into flesh, and it works. The problem is that the surrounding story is thin. Character motivations are sketched rather than developed, and the modern day plot never really adjusts to the solemn tone it insists on. Action sequences are also shot too tightly. The camera shakes, cuts quickly, and keeps everything in murky lighting. For a film built around athletic movement, it's unfortunate. The choreography may be good, but the audience is often denied a clear view of it. Production design, on the other hand, is solid. Costumes look excellent, the historical sets have texture, and the props feel grounded. The world building through visuals is far stronger than the narrative itself. You believe in the spaces even when the plot wandering through them feels half formed. The supporting cast is stacked. Jeremy Irons in particular delivers his lines with total professionalism, but there are moments where you can almost see the calculation behind his eyes. It feels like he's internally negotiating with the script. Something along the lines of: "Who on Earth wrote this? I can't believe I have to say this schlock but it's paying for my new seaside retreat, so soldier on, Jeremy..." He never phones it in, yet there's a faint glimmer of disbelief that becomes unintentionally amusing. In the end, the film drags. It has parkour chases, rooftop duels, and striking imagery, yet the pacing feels oddly heavy. The narrative moves with the weight of a grand saga, but the story underneath is surprisingly slight. There are flashes of the film it could have been, stylish, kinetic, a little pulpy, but they're buried under solemnity. The result is watchable, occasionally impressive, and ultimately a bit dull, which is the last thing a film about knife wielding rooftop acrobats should be.
- mickerdoo19. März 2026Can't see half the things going on due to heavy smoke.
- Callum22. Dezember 2025⭐⭐½ – Assassin’s Creed – Leaps of faith, heavy boots Assassin’s Creed has moments where you can clearly see the great movie it wanted to be. The action set pieces are solid, the parkour has weight, and the core idea of memory, lineage, and inherited conflict is still compelling. On paper, everything is there. On screen, though, it often feels like a slog to get through. The biggest issue is pacing and development. The film feels rushed while simultaneously feeling long — a strange contradiction caused by underdeveloped characters and emotional beats that never quite land. Wins and losses come and go without enough buildup, so the viewer rarely feels the impact of what’s happening. It’s especially baffling given how rich the source material is, and even more so knowing this is considered canon to the game series. That said, it’s far from the worst video game adaptation out there. There are flashes of quality and competence, and if you’re a fan of the franchise it’s absolutely worth at least one watch. Just don’t go in expecting a great adaptation or a fully realised story. Compared to some infamous efforts (Postal, for example), it clears the bar — but it never comes close to greatness. A missed opportunity more than a failure, Assassin’s Creed is watchable, occasionally impressive, and ultimately frustrating for how close it gets without ever truly connecting. 🥃 Drink Pairing A mid-strength Spanish red or a simple whisky and cola — something serviceable, familiar, and best enjoyed without overthinking it.
- Spencer MB21. Dezember 2025Some decent action set pieces but overall a real slog to get through. Insane that this is canon to the video game series.
- Rhythm13. Oktober 2025Its a slog to get through
- Matt Kelly3. August 2025I believe it’s one of the better video game movies.
- wipeout63010. Oktober 2025I really tried to love this movie, but I expected so much more. It didn't do the game justice. Fassbender and Cotillard are a power team, as always.
- Adam Gorman4. Juli 2025They could have done something really good with this based on the games lore etc, but we ended up with this. Stinks like a movie made by committee, when it needed a clear vision..
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ19. März 2025I enjoyed this film and would like to see a sequel. I'm not familiar with the game, but the plot was easy to follow and it had good action sequences.
