Forums - Movies & TV - Assassin's Creed Movie has Finished Filming. Are You...

Excited?

Cautiously hopeful?

Ambivalent?

Pessimistic?

Dismissive?

As a someone who's never played a single AC game to completion (and only ever played AC1). I don't really have any excitement for the movie itself and I'm always rather pessimistic about video game movies turning out to be much good, or doing well at the box office.

Ass Creed will obviously have a substantial budget and it has quality actors in the cast. But in some ways that just makes the financial break even point that much higher. Low budgets mean easier profits, which is why so many Resident Evil movies got made despite getting fairly low audience numbers and all of them getting meh to bad reviews.

I think Ass Creed with do a reasonable gross but not enough to break even. Hence while not being a total flop, it will be a financial failure and won't be the beginning of a new movie franchise. Best marketing they can do though is not associate it with being a video game. At the moment that association automatically puts non-gamers off.

I'm intringued. I love AC games but the story is hardly the best they offer especially from Revelations onward. But it could be compelling if done right. The first AC game had the most subtle story and yet probably the most engaging for me. I think they only need to touch the surface and not try to explain too much about the Animus and the current day Templars. Michael Fassbender as the protagonist is a huge plus.



One of the only game-related movies that I've enjoyed is Wreck-it Ralph.

every other movie about games simply sucks. Wreck-it Ralph was probably the only gaming movie that was actually enjoyable by everyone(and had a good plot)

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

I am cautiously optimistic that it will be horrible.



 

I just want to know where the hell is my Fatal Frame movie!

i just dont understand the appeal of ass creed at all. i would never willingly go out of my way to see this movie.



Which actors are part of the cast?



                                                                                     

Really? Hmm...I'm interested, I'll wait till I see some trailers and then I'll decide if I want to go see it.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Michael Fassbender is the main character and he is a great actor, so least it will have that.
