To be honest, movies based on video-games have a terrible history. Doesn’t matter how good the trailers look, the end result has always been disappointing. It’s a perennial blue-balls scenario for avid gamers who tend to pin all their hopes on a movie studio that buys rights for video game franchises but lacks the know-how to deliver a good movie that is not just faithful to its source material but also a decent enough watch for those who aren’t well-acquainted with the game.
Assassin’s Creed seems to have cracked the complex code (that is almost as good as understanding the working behind Animus btw). Even with all the odds stacked against it, we are ready for our leap of faith.
