How to judge people in 10 seconds.

Actually, I wanted to share because I honestly couldn't compute and no people in my IRL environment could share my pain. But I'm not hurt, I'll take the poor marks.

Haven't watched it, so I won't object. I've seen all the hate and am skeptical to watch, really.

The guy has never played AC, he just watched the movie and loved it.

...it's possible to like that movie?

HnnnngggghghghgngngngngnnNOOOO WHYYY.
I refuse to believe you exist!

The unironic pebble dance! I just couldn't! That was what truly broke it for me.

You seem to have gotten some attention.
I'll steal some of that to add: I like Blackhat, and i still have no idea what was wrong with it

I liked it too. :)
Liked Assassin's Creed as well.

All M. Night Shyamalan movies is awesome.

Yes, exactly. Bad movies can be entertaining, AC the movie was just... not much. If you don't know the games you miss (absentmindedly) half the plot and if you know the games you miss (longingly) half the plot.

Solo was a bad movie that I enjoyed immensely, just watched it a few days ago.

I don't even legitimately judge people who unironically like 50 shades. :-) (I mean, I do, but not in a hateful way. :-) )

I did.
Also the Hitman one.

I'll just trust your word that's it's worse and not watch Max Payne anyway.

what's so bad about playing the same game if you love the gameplay?

^This

i stoped after #3 and still wait for the final game...right now there is nothing important happening for the main story... :(

I respect your point of view. :-)

I can respect vices, but not bad taste... :-)

He liked the story. And he admitted he knows nothing about the game, so I can't see what he got out of the movie story anyway!

It's boring and a wasted opportunity. Not enough game content for the game lovers, not enough independent content to bring in new fans.

I didn't like Kingsman, tbh, I found it a tad boring. Nothing like Austin Powers, really(which didn't age well, but I could see the appeal at its time).

I suffer from this all the time lol but it's not surprising, books are a medium that can extent way past what is feasible for a movie. I think the only movie based on a book that I thought was actually good (even being familiar with the book) was "the name of the rose" and even then, it was missing the best "scene" from the book: the dream.

I'm a passionate book reader and I don't always care whether a movie adaptation is good, unless it literally butchers the original. I see them as different mediums.

I see them as different mediums, and an opportunity to come across content you'd otherwise miss. I mean, we can't read everything. :-) And sometimes movies can bring in new readers, which is always a win. :-) For example, the Handmaiden, I don't think I'd ever invest the time to add the novel in my reading list, but I did watch and like the movie.

HOWEVER, I kinda judge people who have the attitude "don't read the book, watch the movie. it's the same and you can claim you've read the book" and don't read at all, ever.

This.

One of the people I love the most just adores bad horror movies. Though I do as well, so... :D Knowing objective quality, but still owning up to one's own tastes is a very important trait in my opinion. Miracleofsound Gavin also said that he like the AC games because they are amazing historical city sightseeing games with some story, while he knows that they aren't really the best games out there - and he is a really awesome person in general. :)

(He gaped when I said I play games and actually uttered "but you are a girl", so I feel kinda justified for making fun of him, but yes to what you said :-) ).

Yes, it feels great. :-)

He said he's only played a bit of CoD online some years ago, not really his cup of tea (games in general). But he had that "but you are a girl" reaction when I mentioned games, so....

I'll accept any verdict. :-P

You win.

I'll dare say movie quality has been declining steadily in general.

I like a nice set of abs on my screen, thankyouverymuch. :-)

It will come for you, too. It took me more than a year. It was actually a job I wasn't very optimistic about at first, but it turned out to be a great opportunity and just what I needed! Don't give up!

I think it missed a spark or two, it felt a bit flat, not bad really, just boring. It's true I can't judge it as just a movie, especially since I watched it after essentially playing from ACI up to ACIII in less than a year (yep, I was a bit late).

True.

I'm weirdly tempted to watch it, it seems like entertaining garbage.
