Reviews
This isn't Star Wars, there isn't a dark side and light side. It's a grey world where both sides have to bend their beliefs at certain times. Templars can become good and Assassin's can turn * Michael Fassbender *
A film that blends a cool sci-fi concept (technology that allows users to relive their ancestor's memories) with historical adventure * Screenrant *
Start getting your hopes up. The trailer is simply gorgeous * Forbes *
This is definitely Assassin's Creed with all the fast paced free-running and close combat you'd want. It might be a time period we've never seen in the games but plenty of 360 viewpoints, eagles and free running action to make us feel at home in the Spanish Inquisition * Games Radar *
I wanted it to be an unbelievable ride. Our story is an origin story, a man in the present day discovering he's an Assassin. It's a very rich world, the history beautifully recreated * Justin Kurzel, director of Assassin's Creed *
The video game movie that might just induce glorious amnesia for those struggling to wipe clean memories of 'Prince of Persia', 'Hitman' or 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life' * Guardian *
