With the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the latest in the long running video game saga, audiences have been flocking to Max to stream the 2016 film adaptation of the series. Starring Michael Fassbender, the film was set in the same universe as the games and novels, but delivered an original story, unconnected to anything fans had seen before.
Despite a big name in the lead, the film failed to create a spark with audiences and critics, delivering a disappointing box office and sitting at just 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus being that the movie adaptation was a bit of a slog, spending too much time in the modern day time period and lacking the swashbuckling fun of the game series.
