Assassin's Creed - Movie Trailer

Considering Warcraft's trailer music (y'know the other video game movie) is under fire for shitty music it's no surprise AC would be especially since it had the time to learn from Warcraft's shitty marketing campaign
OH NO! a bunch of nerds on a niche gaming site don't like popular music WHAT EVER WILL THE STUDIO DO???
 
Yo, looks better than expected.

Lol
 
good god that song is horrendous. Kanye's voice makes me feel physically ill, it's like watching Donald Trump.

trailer looks like a trailer for an Ass Creed game so i guess it succeeds. might have to go watch it.
 
Never played this series but movie looks good, not cheaply made or half assed

This shot of poor man's CGI with the dude in the left literally clipping through the female assassin's hands says otherwise.

But hey, you can't blame them for not sticking to the source material.

The Animus looks way too over engineered, and industrial for a multinational megacorp like Abstergo. Other than that (and the strange choice of music) I'm cautiously excited.

the hand isn't clipping through him?!?

P.S. the films looks terrible, but i guess that makes it pretty accurate to the source material :P
 
That looked terrible. Visually it looked so cheap. I hate that post processing.

I will be curious to see how this does nonetheless.

I actually like it. Basically you are in the animus controlling your ancestor as an avatar, allowing you to physically experience the adventure.
 
looks bad man, I guess somebody thought "let's distance ourselves further from the games by using shite trailer music"

It's not a matter of liking the music or not. I mean, the music is absolutely terrible, don't get me wrong, but the bigger issue is that it doesn't fit the tone of anything that they show in the trailer, or in fact anything that has ever been done with the Assassin's Creed franchise period.

I can see ways that they can justify it in-universe. Like, perhaps rather than just information inside the animus, they're looking to analyse data of Assassin movement techniques or skills. Having Fassie hopping around the room as Callum would serve that purpose, while also perhaps being more suitable for the medium.

Anyway, the fan edits helped me eventually enjoy this trailer. I wonder why?
 
The settings reminds me so much of AC2, so that's awesome.

Could and should have used the AC2 OST to go alongside that trailer (the GOAT OST), instead of what they chose. So misplaced, if you ask me.
 
Looks much better than I thought it would. I bet if they would have used the instrumental version of Kanye's song, there wouldn't have been as many complaints; it's his voice that's turning people off lol.
 
What's the big weird robot arm thing around Fassbender's waist near the end?

Pretty sure that's the animus . No longer do You sit in a chair you have to strap a big robotic arm to your back .

My guess is 70 percent of the movie will be him training in real world to prepare himself for entering the matrix / animus

You see it in a few shots , training to shoot an arrow , the hero landing (thanks deadpool) and a few other shots .

Why does she keep her arms out for so long after hitting the guys
 
It doesn't look like a shitty cosplay contest so it's already better than 75% of video game adaptations.
But MacBeth was absolutely terrible (athough it was pretty) so I have very few hope it's not going to be shit.
