5 Reasons The Assassin's Creed Movie WON'T Suck

Ubisoft recently announced that there is an Assassin’s Creed movie in the works, and it’s tempting to dismiss this as another attempt to take video games to the big screen that will ignore everything from the games in favour of a dumbed-down, easy-to-digest Hollywood blockbuster. However, just give it a chance, and it could yet turn out to be the best video game movie ever; here’s why:

I was thinking about it and maybe if they did something Inception style would be amazing!

I think it really depends on where they start. If it is a completely new universe then I think it has a shot of not sucking. The main problem I see in this film is they are going to have to make a twist or something unexpected moments throughout the film which the first AC game didn't have.

I think this is going be really difficult to pull off.

They keep butchering up the movies based on video games but I believe that there will come a time when it'll get batter. Mortal Kombat 1, Laura Croft 1 and more recently Resident Evil 1 were all nicely done. The sequels sucked ass but that's a different story altogether. Some developer must come forward and start taking some control to create that true video game based movie that all us fans crave for. UBISOFT could very well be that developer and hopefully, this will set a trend.

Believe it or not, I'd LOVE to see more video game movies. It would be awesome if Kojima san could somehow get involved in a Metal Gear Solid movie. That'll be awesome!

I had high hopes for an Uncharted movie but then I read that they hired Mark Wahlberg as Nathan Drake and that was the last day I searched online for anything related to an Uncharted movie.

Mark wahlburg! The former under wear model? XD That is terrible, I'm sorry.

I am not sure if he was an Underwear model but I do know that he was in Boogie Nights with Heather Graham and we heart Heather Graham! :)

IDK video game movies have been known to suck

[waltyftm]

True.

[Tapioca Cold]

I'm sure there are a million reasons why it won't suck. But how many reasons matter?

'Cause I'm pretty sure that there will be a BILLION reasons why it WILL suck.

[Hanuman]

Know your history! Of course it will suck..

[Mythicninja]

Have you guys read any of the history behind this? The previous video game movies suck because ignorant hollywood directors feel they need to make changes to the story to make it "their own" they are completely out of touch with video games, and the story telling. Ubisoft has worked hard to find a studio that will let them retain full creative control sho that the director cannot ruin it. This didn't guarantee success, but it is they first time ever we can have hope of a video game story being told properly on the big screen

Actually a Assassin Creed movie came out on DVD and that movie suck balls
