I understand that some characters might have underwritten but people that bashing this movie as confusing are beyond me, maybe they just like or expect some full blown explosions and mediocre/boring setting. this is as simple as it can get. though the movie should've utilize more of its time with cutting some of exposition scenes and replace it with character developments, I get that it's beautiful but some time it's a little bit obnoxious. Also at least the action are far more clearer than half of action movies with their shaky cams. the parkour and fighting scenes though not a lot but executed pretty well. 7,5/10
I'll be honest I enjoyed this movie more than CA: Civil War. Though now I much prefer if this series made as a TV series not a movie. Maybe that's why some people still confused by the whole story and lore. So to summary:
Pros:
+ overall good MC and M. Fasbender did a great performances.
+ decent acting for some characters.
+ Beautiful Cinematography.
+ a faithful depictions of Assassins and Templars from the series.
+ well done action scenes. good parkour and fighting scenes. shaky cams and obnoxious jump cuts are pretty minimal, maybe only 1-2 scenes.
+ decent music but definitely could do more
Cons:
- Average story and plots, pretty similar to the first game storyline but with some changes and twists.
-Some dialogues were not that good. Not immersive and bit awkward.
-Some characters were underdeveloped, especially in the past time.
-a bit underwhelming ending, obvious sequel baiting.
-too many stay still/exposition scenes, maybe they should cut those and give some characters a perspectives and developments.
