Assassin's Creed Movie Trailer

Finally, after years of announcements, pictures, and whatever else, we now have a trailer for Assassin’s Creed! Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard star in the film and Justin Kurzel directs. As for the trailer, some parts are cool, while others leave me so undecided. The film adaptation of the plot is certainly different, but interesting. It doesn't appear to be adapting any of the Assassin's Creed games, which isn't a bad thing. While I have abandoned the video game franchise after Assassin's Creed IV, Assassin's Creed 2 and 4 are great games with relatively interesting plots. So, for me, the change from the game to the movie doesn't necessarily make me mad. 

Now, back to the trailer. It looks fine. The action is kind of cool, albeit underwhelming from just the trailer. Something about the trailer just does not impress me. It does not make me think the movie will suck, but it fails to make me go, "Wow, this is going to be awesome!" And much like the game, outside of the Animus looks meh and inside it looks fun. But what is up with the stupid harness thing? Honestly, I need to see more before making any decision. However, I am curious as to what others think, especially fans and those who have never heard of the franchise. Please let me know in the comments!

Assassin's Creed 2016 First Look at Michael Fassbender

Assassin's Creed 2016 starring Michael Fassbender finally releases a First Look at Fassbender in the costume. Fassbender will be playing Callum Lynch, an original character never before featured in the AC video games. My first impression of this picture is that it looks fine, but it looks almost too much like a video game and Fassbender is too hard to see behind the hood. The film will be following a new story and characters unrelated to the games' main story, or at least that is what is revealed thus far. While seeing a few of the franchise's great characters would have been fun, the series' structure allows for stories branch off of the main narrative, and if executed correctly, this film could be great. However, just like any adaptation, it could be complete garbage, but let's hope that is not the case. What do you think of this first promotional image? Please comment below and let me know!
