There are two ways to do historical films; either show a lot about a little, or a little about a lot. This film opted for a little about a lot, glazing over some things, dwelling on others, then leaving the rest of the saga up to text at the end. I love history, but I was almost bored during it.
The accents were all over the place, which was slightly annoying. The acting was good, for the most part. Also, for all of the big hype over the full-frontal nudity... It was a weird thing to hype, and a weird time in the film to place it.

Best saga ever
I played the first Assassins Creed and thought it was great if a little repetetive, but this one oh wow.
They really stepped it up in terms of gameplay and story, this game felt so immersive.
Almost as if you were in renaissance Italy.
From the start in Florence to the middle part in Monteriggioni to the final part in Rome this game just draws you in.
Lots of interesting history to pick up as well from the Pazzi to the Borgias, and of course the interesting interjections from Leonardo da Vinci.
Requiescat in pace Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

A Promising Start to the Saga!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Resident Evil is a good start to the 6 film series, though could it have been better? Yes.

The film is loosely based on the first Resident Evil game, starting in the notorious mansion (albeit for about 5 minutes) before moving to the underground Umbrella facility, the site of the "incident", and carrying on in the traditional "investigation gone wrong" style, with lots of zombies, dogs and not much else.

The film is a fun action film that can be considered as an mediocre standalone movie, or a good start to a 15 year franchise.

Canon, but not really worth the read.

One spoiler ahead that doesn't really add much but it's nice to know, if we didn't know it already.

A pretty poor attempt at a Star Wars story, especially as it's considered canon.

This may be the second earliest installment in the Star Wars canon, but it fails to add anything to the saga, apart from we find out that Count Dooku was Qui-Gon Jin's master.

The story is mainly based around an adventure featuring Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan involving something about a princess and some jewel thieves...pretty uninspiring characters in terms of originality.
