Assassin's Creed 2016 is Ubisofts second attempt to bring one of their beloved video game franchises to the screen. And the results were yet again...lacking. Headed up by Michael Fassbender playing the duel role of a future guy and ancient history guy it parkours it's way in and around the neverending battle between the Assassin Order and the Templars for a glowing apple that can probably do something.

Alright, it's time to wrap up badly made movies that did badly at the box office. Video game edition. Huzzah! You happy to see the back of this, Ayo? Yeah, we're nearly at the end. And boy, what a movie to go out on, James. Assassin's Creed. James, this movie really put the ass ass into ass assin's creed.

I've got that same note! James, this is a movie so ass they assed it twice. Now, obviously folks, that's a little- What are you, the angry video game nerd? James, this is a little tribute to the angry video game nerd of course because you know given the business We're in I like to think that if I were to put on the animus the device that lets you view the memories of those That came before you I'd see the memories of the angry video game nerd Yeah, sure. It's you'd watch him take a buffalo diarrhea in his ear

Absolutely, and you of course would see the memories of the nostalgia critic. I would, yeah. All the stuff he's done. No! All the cool stuff! All the cool stuff! Anyways, please leave a like on this video because of course we are talking about 2016's Assassin's Creed. All jokes aside, it's really bad, this movie.

I've written, might be the dullest movie we've ever watched. But also, but is it? Because it's kind of true to the games, especially the first one. If you ever played that game, and I have, there's a lot of you go into a room and a guy goes, you know the Templars, they talk about truth and the thing about truth is what's real. And you know what's real? Jesus. Or maybe not. Maybe God's real. And I'm God, but maybe what is man but God pretending to be Jesus? There's a scene towards the start of this movie where where you know, we were introduced to a boring game I said really is we're introduced to our point of view character at one point

They say, you know If the Apple falls into their hands the Templars will destroy everything that stands in their way Protest dissent our right to think for ourselves and then they're like and we're gonna chop one of your fingers off And he's not like how about no though. You just say the thing about think if you know No, you've we've got a we've got to chop your finger. Maybe we could turn the gauntlet thing around. So it comes out the back of my hand and- They figure it out in other Assassin's Creed games.

They only really do it in the first one. Don't you think maybe it would be a clue to the fact that we're assassins, that we're all missing our ring fingers? Do you think that would be- No, you could just explain it like, yeah, I got married, really what, you know, but I was like, nah, not for me mate, you know?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Had to chop off the old ball of chain, you know what I mean? Exactly. But look, I think though, this isn't as bad as I thought it would be. And I really like this director, he's an Australian guy called Justin Kurzel. This is the second collaboration he's had with Michael Fassbender and Marianne Coulter-Yard, because they did Macbeth the year before. If you've ever seen the true history of the Kelly Gang, if you've ever seen NIT.RAM which follows the life of Martin Bryan, he doesn't make fun movies. He makes very good movies. I know I've seen Assassin's Creed, I know he doesn't make fun movies James. There was a little

delay on the recording of this so I watched this about five days ago and I'm just looking at my notes here and I'm like I have no idea what's the one you have about the rock there's a note that just says could have just dropped a big rock on that guy I reckon I don't know what they're talking about you know I don't know what this guy was talking about it's another era this movie's breathtakingly dull I'm sorry to the director of this movie but here's the thing as well that I think the reason this doesn't translate because you said it's it's similar to the games.

Yeah. But the thing about the games is for people who don't know the premise of the games is that it's a sort of near future time. And they've invented a device, a sort of sci fi fantasy device called the animus. And you put it on your head, I think, or you sit in a chair, I don't know something, maybe there's a head in a chair involved, don't know sure and then what happens is you see the memories of one of your genetic antecedents you see one of your ancestors memories but crucially that character the one in the future isn't doing anything just having a look he's just having a look like when you the player are playing the game mm-hmm what you're actually doing is you're just going through the memories of that ancestor and the additional conceit of the game is like when your character game. What you're actually doing is you're just going through the memories of that ancestor.

And the additional conceit of the game is like when your character dies, they go, oh, that's not actually how it went. Yeah, you're remembering it wrong. Here's how it actually went and then you play again. But the thing about this movie is Michael Fassbender's present day future character. He's not doing anything. He's got to sync up. He's got to sit. Well, that's why they've given him the big arm. Yeah. That's why they put him on a big swing arm. Let's talk about the big swing arm. Okay.

I mean, I think it's a more visually interesting way to represent traveling through the past and watching your ancestor and going, oh yeah, jump over a thing. It's more dynamic than just lying down on a bed and going, oh yeah. Let's put a man in a paint shaker instead. Yeah.

But here's the thing, like, it's really important that your body and actions and mind are synced up with your ancestors, but you would have to have exactly the same kind of physicality. Like if you were a slightly different size, or maybe you ate a bowl of pasta before you went in this. Yes. Like, you'd vom. You'd vom. No, you're absolutely right.

If you're not exact- because these, these assassins, you know, we go back to What's his name? Cal Lynch. We go back to his ancestor who's an assassin. And the assassin character would be like super highly trained and he would do his stretches in the morning, I assume. It's a really handy coincidence he has exactly the same physicality as- And face.

And face is the future guy. But that's what happens in Assassin's Creed, Desmond looks like whatever, etc. But you're right, like you'd vom. Or you'd get a cramp. Yeah you'd get a big cramp. Or you'd twist your ankle. And they'd say, you idiot, you broke the animus, you broke it! It's also very handy that the pretense that they're bringing the future character into the Abstergo organisation is that they were attempting to cure the world

of violence and he's a violent man and he was convicted of murder. Oh yeah. What if he wasn't? What if he was just an accountant or whatever? We've brought you in to cure violence but I'll just do spreadsheets. Get on the arm! Get on it! Get in the big squeaker.

We're gonna waggle you around. We're gonna waggle you around like you're a prize in one of those arcade machines. You know? So it's interesting that they decided to go with a brand new character as opposed to any of them from the video games. So yeah, this is an Eltie or Ezio. Ezio again. Or Connor or Edward or Shay or Ana or Jacob and Evie or Bayek or Cassandra slash Alexios or Naio slash Yasuke or Aveline or Evie or slash Sigrid or Xiaojun or Abazmir or Nikolai.

Or Leonardo da Vinci with a gun. It's none of that. You have invented this gun. Yeah. You want it? Do you? Come on. Yes.

Give it a go. Oh yeah I'll take the gun. How many of these are there in the world one and it's mine Yeah, I want the gun man. What a cast though as mentioned Marianne Colter yard Let's let's pronounce it like that. Yeah, that's right. It's done. Don't worry. I'm Australian. This is how it goes Michael K Williams. Mm-hmm. Great. Jeremy Irons. Oh, Jeremy Irons is the most fucking Assassin's Creed looking dude you've ever seen in your life, isn't he? He belongs in this universe. He might even be from here.

Maybe. Yeah. He could have stepped out of a portal into our world. He's got, you know, he's got the, in interviews he's just got that vibe, that Assassin's Creed vibe where he's like, perhaps a father could marry his son. You know? Seems like something the Templars would say. I think it is, yeah.

Also just getting back to that, I think there is, and you mentioned how you have to cut your finger off to be an assassin or whatever. What Justin Kurzel tried to do as well is to show that, he tried to both sides it and be like, this isn't a clear run at what is true and what is correct and what is real. Maybe both sides be doing bad things. That's cool.

And I appreciate the subtlety quite frankly. Because you see both sides. I do, exactly. Just like Michael Fassbender, who was apparently Ubisoft's first choice to play the franchise's hooded hero. According to Jean-Jules Baronnet, he's the CEO of Paris-based Ubisoft Motion Pictures. Apparently Michael Fassbender was also involved in the editing and a whole bunch of stuff. He was like start to finish finish this is very much Michael Fassbender's fault Okay, which I love this movie is better than than than you think it is Mason slightly No, it's good to have one person to blame because usually with these kind of movies

Well, I well, you know, they've already tried their best whatever but you know, you've painted a target on this guy's back Absolutely. I'm gonna leap off a roof into a big bale of hay Jump out of it get him. Yeah, man man, well let's talk about the action, cause it's not bad. No it is bad. No listen. They take that classic swashbuckling movie trope, sort of the escaping the hangman's noose in the city square.

In this case it's like a burning pyre, and they make it boring. No, I really like that sequence. I thought it was so boring. Well apparently Michael Fassbender and Ariane Lebed did 95% of their own fights for this film and 8% of this film including stunts and extras and locations is shot in camera without CGI. But I will say this, often you'll be watching a chase scene, oh it's mostly just running away,

but often you'll be watching a chase scene in this and it's like, oh this looks real, real, real, oh that looks like shit, real, real, it's like that's the flow of it? I do have a note that says, smoke haze over boring CGI cities. Yes, please. That is a problem. The haze in this is, I mean, it's a video game fog. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what's going on here. It's actually very true to the PSP version of Assassin's Creed that they made bloodlines because that needed the fog for the draw distance. Absolutely. It's closer to the games than you could possibly imagine. Ah, the leap of faith in this also is featured. The leap of faith is real.

I mean, you wouldn't know, but this is the highest free fall performed by a stunt man in over 35 years. Damien Walters did it. He fell from 125 feet or 38 meters. So he fell for three seconds and it had a 61 miles per hour impact onto a 10 by 10 bag and It's pretty hoping bag. Yes shopping bag. Yeah, a cold reusable shopping bag filled with fishing weights

You really hit it hard also This is such a risky era to do a big jump or a roll or run down some steps Because we talk about this all the time, but you'd roll your ankle and then you just die Oh, you mean I thought you meant in the year this was made. No no no it's fine now. Modern technologies Mason it's fine. Okay right. Yeah they're getting Jeremy Renner running again he was flattened by a snowplow but he's off he's off and running mate. Yeah but like this era god damn I wouldn't be an assassin. We're gonna chop your finger off. No, I'll die from this

That's right Ridiculous now what I couldn't remember about this was like, oh what what's what does the Apple do? Hmm. I'm interested. Is this the same Apple from the games? Look, I've clearly fallen off because no This is a get the Apple movie. What did you say? Movies are broken down into two There's only two types of storytelling in the modern era. And I stole this from Twitter, but it's a, it's a, you can either get the orb or you can close the gate. And this is a get the orb, right? This is the get the orb movie.

The orb, it's a literal orb. It's an apple. Yeah, absolutely. The people in the present day, they want to find the, the apple of Eden, which is a, which is an artifact that is either mystical or aliens made it or the precursor to humanity. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've got it and in the in the movie if they get it they can control everybody and make them not be violent Yeah, man, that's good. Isn't it? Yeah, it's like the Kingsman one is Kingsman was a movie about that at one point What's it? Yeah, there was like a they played a frequency or something that made everyone kill each other

Oh, yeah, it was the opposite of this. Okay. Yeah, I'm gonna bomb in their head What happened in the second one? Second Kingsman, Robot Dog, Alton John. Yeah, Robot Dog and Alton John. Surviving a bullet through the face. Robot Dog and Alton John. So yeah, but I looked into the apples. And they all do something slightly different.

There's illusion projection, mind control, physical manipulation, casting tangible holograms, negating the powers of other pieces of Eden. That's a good one, you want that one. Advanced knowledge, apparitions, conjuration, power imbuing, energy manipulation, access to calculations. What? Who wants that one? Invisibility, curse, activation, whatever that means. Insanity inducement, physical empowerment, memory unlocking. Now 90% of those sound way more exciting than the apple they put in this movie. An apple that can vaguely control people, baby.

I mean, when we activate this apple, a lot of people are going to stand very still for a while. Yeah, if they're in the room. Well, we'll move to different rooms. We'll keep doing that. We'll go room to room. We'll go room to room, alright? So the ending in this is that all the assassins, so, oh yeah, they've captured all the assassins, or would-be assassins.

When, in the future or in the past? No, in the future. The Templars. Because they're all the descendants of the assassins, okay. And they all have the potential to become assassins. So what seems to be happening in this movie is that every time- A lot of things seem to be happening. Every time future Michael Fassbender looks at his ancestors' memories from the past,

does he gain some assassin skill? Is that how it's working? Yeah, or he unlocks it. Because it's tough to say, because in this movie, they're like, you were in jail for being too cool and too much of a tough guy. And then later he does some karate and whatever. And I'm like, did he know that already?

Good question. How do you get caught if he knows all this karate? Well, you can't use karate on everybody. So I'm thinking it'll go room to room. I'm thinking, so my assumption in this movie is that every time we went back in time he gained a little bit of a- That's your problem, Mason. You can't make assumptions in the Assassin's Creed universe.

Assumptions. Yeah, man. No, he unlocks stuff, because then he could use a sword and a bow and arrow. Hey, wow, I've unlocked my skill tree. He did say that, I remember now. Yeah. So anyway, they've got all these assassins in the prison. I've got some skill points I could use them for karate or I could use them for silent walking. I know what I'll do and then that's just the third act of

him walking around. I know I'll use this bird to unlock this city I could see further use them for that. So yeah all the assassins that they've put in this one place they decide to sync up and escape this facility which was always gonna happen because you put a bunch of assassins in the room and then let them train. And just hang out with each other. Yeah. You know, just eating in the same room.

Get lunch. Get a nice nutritious meal. You know, they're building up their protein. Absolutely. Get one to meet his dad, Brendan Gleeson's in this for a second. Brendan Gleeson's there, isn't he? Yeah. And Brendan Gleeson's son plays young Brendan Gleeson, but not Domino Gleeson, the other

Gleeson. Oh, other Gleeson. Double Gleeson. Tom Gleeson's son plays young Brendan Gleeson, but not Domino Gleeson the other Gleeson Oh other Gleeson double Gleeson Tom Gleeson Yep. Yep Reference, but yeah, yeah, it's a great reference But like yeah, this is what happens when you train a bunch of lunatics They're always gonna turn on you and then Michael Fassbender is going to assassinate Jeremy Irons Yeah, but they could have dropped a rock on him. This that's probably what I'm thinking of no That must have been the pastimes one. Okay.

But I guess they assumed and they shouldn't because in the ass ass and creed universe, you should never ass you. Can't make assumptions. That they would have the egg by this point. Yeah. The apple of egg. Yeah.

They'd have the apple of egg and then they could just switch off everybody's violence. Yeah, that's right. But every time they were like, boy, if we just bring in one more homicidal lunatic and put them on that machine that gives them more skills, we're definitely going to get the egg of apple this time. Absolutely.

And then you've, you know, you've did snowballs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like a snowball of Aiden and then all of a sudden you've got a building full of, you know, lunatics. Yeah. Violent lunatics. Running amuck. With skills. And at the end, they're on top of a building, all of them. And you know, lunatics. Yeah. Violent lunatics. Running amuck. With skills. And at the end they're on top of a building, all of them.

And you know that means something for sequels. We'll talk about it. Are you happy to grind this to a halt for a second? Yes. That's right, because it's the return of thoughts and prizes. Oh, I forgot about that. This is a special segment of the show, where I just give a few thoughts.

OK. And there are prizes to be won. That includes the people watching this video and you, Mason. OK. What is the prize? Well, when people win, and eventually they will, I'd imagine, probably even this time, you win a prize.

What is the criteria for winning a prize in thoughts and prizes? You'll find out when you win. Okay, all right. So the original cut of this movie was apparently two hours and 20 minutes, and my thought on that is, I'm keen on that. I wanna see it.

I wanna know, I wanna know. I want more of this. No, you don't. Yes, I do I want to see it. I want to know I want to know I want more of this No, you don't. Yes, I do. You will regret it. It comes together. I reckon I don't think it would What if it's just singing like in the Lord of the Rings extended cuts fine? That's good Bombadil is in it. Well, that's good. Well, finally they put him in that Lord of the Rings show Finally they doing something right? So you mentioned this but the Apple can kind, you can unfree will people room to room. They're going to have to find a way to upscale that for modern audiences and markets.

My question is, but how? What do you put it on? Can you have it like, you put it on someone's phone and it like projects onto them? Maybe you can take a photo of it and then do like an email chain or something. Send this to X number of people, etc. I reckon you could just post it to a bunch of TikTokers. Yeah. Hey everybody, look at the apple that stops violence, whoa! Or they're pointing, you know, they're like, this apple stops all the world's violence.

Smug look. You know, and they pass it around, you know. Oh yeah. Eventually somebody drops it in a prank. Yeah, okay. You know, falls in a pool or something. That's a bit of a shame. but there's other apples get the one that The maths one. Yeah, the math's like you do

Calculations right? I don't think that second trend of apples will take off Yeah, um the Pope's in this I remember at the end of one of the games I don't remember which one I think it's one of the Italian ones I remember beating up the Pope at the end. But I guess they're saving that for the sequel where you get to beat up the Pope. Mamma Mia! Kei Disastro he says. You don't want to watch Michael Fassbender beat up the Pope? No I do, of course I do.

Also, he doesn't, like the Pope doesn't look like he should be fist fighting, like he's not prepared for an Assassin's Creed. He doesn't have a cane with a sword in it? No. That's a shame. Well maybe he does. Maybe he have a cane with a sword in it? No. That's a shame. Maybe he does. Maybe he's got one of the apples in it. Okay, well look, I would see the extended cut if it was Michael Fassbender beats up

the Pope. Here's another thought. This is a question though also. I want to play Assassin's Creed again, but I hate how they go for 430 hours and you've also got to build up a town at the same time and purchase different tapestries and you've got to run hundreds of miles to have boring conversations with different faction heads or whatever. I like the games and the first one even did a lot of this where you just point towards a guy and

go hey can you stab that guy and you go all right and then you go there and you do it and then you run away as everybody chases you. Assassin's Creed Mirage came out in 2013 is that like I heard it stripped down. Should I get that? I think you should just take up parkour in real life. Okay, it's easy to start You just jump off a roof and anything is fixable for now. That's like if I fell under us under a snow. Yeah Yeah, absolutely. You'd be alright. You'd be you'd be parkour and sick like a bandit. All right Um, that's the end of thoughts and prizes and I'm just I'm just spinning the wheel. Oh, there's a wheel This is did I not mention that last time?

You didn't mention a wheel. No. Is there always a wheel? No well it doesn't determine the outcome but it's kind of there's a point system. It's a part of the process I understand. Oh actually it's just fallen short actually again. Oh wow it could fall short. Yeah it's interesting. Yeah it was close this time actually. Wow. That's really interesting. Anyway, this time for Assassin's trivia Creed The Assassin's costume this is this is trivia the Assassin's costumes took two to three months each to make and they're all handcrafted There's eight versions of each costume which the entire costume team devoted to each assassin Aguilas costume that's Michael Fassbender's character. Probably it's it's got six thousand beads in it and all manually sewn together. Wow bloody bloody two to three months to make maybe they should get a bloody apple of getting your arse in gear and whoa getting the work done hey. Also give him the give him the white one put him in a gray outfit. Yeah I know but that's cool it shows character

growth. I don't think it's. I don't know anything about movies., is this why you're wearing a white burlap sack? Yeah! Is this why you've been wearing it for months and why it's so disgusting? You squelch when you move, James. It's fine. It's fine, actually. The editors have to keep taking the squelching out. Ubisoft gave the prop makers a detailed list of every weapon ever made for the games that they could use as a guide. Springy knife!

Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff in the background. Baseball bat for beating up the Pope. That's right. Gun. That cool one. There's only one. Hell yeah. Oh there is a gun in this. I just remembered. When? It's got that gun. Does he? Yeah. I don't remember. Or am I thinking about the last movie? I'm thinking about Warcraft. Oh yeah you are. They did have that gun. I tell you what, last week we talked about Duncan Jones, prior to that we talked about Jake Gyllenhaal. This is another movie about going back in time and looking at some memories. I'm like, man I wish we were talking about Source Code. When can we do that? I guess I could watch it on my own. I've got content to make. I could spin the wheel. Oh yeah? It says no. Oh man, it felt like you didn't have time to spin the wheel there. No I'd already been spinning it

Okay, cuz I knew you're gonna ask. Yeah There was rumors before this movie was uh was confirmed storyline wise that it would be based on Assassin's Creed 2 and Robert Downey jr. Would play Leonardo da Vinci. Oh my god. Can you imagine? It's fun. Yeah, he's an inventor. Well, I just designed a helicopter that just happened Yeah, yeah, man. Yeah good when Callum is surrounded by projections of these Assassin's ancestors They're probably from an egg. Yeah, probably from an egg One of them appears to be Arno Dorian who's the protagonist of Assassin's Creed unity. Wow, you see that Wow That's a reference. That's good freaking out

Wow, you see that Wow, that's a reference that's good freaking out Freaking out when Rickin presents Aguilar's Apple to the council. It's seen emitting Erie this is so stupid. This movie's stupid and boring. You're stupid. I know you're not you're not that boring Thank you. Not as boring as this movie It's seen emitting an eerie bright green energy Which is in stark contrast to the apples seen previously in the games, which emit like a golden yellow energy. As an apple should. Yeah, and it's interesting because an in-universe

explanation for this discrepancy, it hasn't been given yet. This is all the same universe, by the way. Yeah, of course it is. The movie set and the games, et cetera. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, on a budget of $125 million, it made 240.7 million so look it made some money it's not enough obviously sure there was apparently potentially seven films worth

of storylines to do here right okay different different apples probably well two were confirmed and the second actually went into development during the production of this film Justin Kurza was planning to shoot a second installment set during the Cold War but apparently this was cancelled in 2019 when Disney purchased Fox. I think it was cancelled. Immediately? Yeah a long time before that. But Michael Fassbender he came out and he said look I did this and it's a missed opportunity. He continued he said it wasn't ideal I think we missed an opportunity there a little bit. So we'll wait and see what Ubisoft are coming up with.

But for now, I don't know in terms of the future. And when asked what he would have done differently, he said, I would make it more entertaining. That's really the main note. The feeling of the film, I think it took itself too seriously. Ollie, what are you doing in here? Stop doing an assassin's creed.

I think it took itself too seriously. Those games are so fucking serious though. Oh, yeah Oh some of them are the Italian guys not that serious. He's like mama Mia. What am I up to? And I would make the Pope come here And I would make the action a lot quicker, I think there's three beginnings of the film which is a mistake I Think this is better than Prince of Persia because it feels like somebody's idea of something whereas Prince of Persia is just like what if Pirates of the Caribbean but much worse so the later Pirates of the Caribbean movies. But this is what if Pirates of the Caribbean but sadder. Yeah. As I mentioned it's got a sad Escape the

Hangman's Nooth it's sad. Yeah it's good I like how sad it is. It's bad. But you know the Assassin's Creed franchise is also born out of the Prince of Persia franchise Because it was gonna start as like a Prince of Persia spin-off and some of the third Prince of Persia game from the Sansa time trilogy was gonna be Assassin's Creed ish and then they went in the direction of this whole new franchise and then they Went fuck Prince of Persia and put it in the bin for a real long time. So there's some new games in 2024 That's that's shout out to those two new games. Shout out to games. Shout out to games.

You know? That's what AVGN would do. He would. He'd shout out to games. And he'd say, there's a buffalo stepping on my ass, or whatever. I can't believe it. Hey, have you got the animus on?

Get it out. Get that thing off. Also, Michael Fassbender married to Alicia Vikander. That's true. Who is Tomb Raider. Or she was. She was. She was, maybe she's still ball-beat. No, there's, Phoebe Wall to Alicia Vikander. Who is Toon Berader? Or she was? She was. Maybe she's still a bull-bearing. No, there's Phoebe Waller-Bridge is doing a series or whatever. There's a new Toon Berader.

We don't know who the new Toon Berader is yet. Hot Priest. Hot Priest. Andrew Scott, yeah. God, he's hot as fuck. That's right. Alright, Mason. And with those shorts on.

Oh my God. Listen, this is in towards next week. Kick ass movies, Mason. Oh yeah. I like one of those. Yeah, you like one of those. You can actually see that early. Did you know that? I did ass movies, Mason. Oh yeah, I like one of those. Yeah, you like one of those. You can actually see that early, did you know that? I did know that, yes.
